9. TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
and the compressor at the back of
the appliance with a brush.
This will improve the performance of
the appliance and save electricity
consumption.
8.3 Defrosting
Your appliance is frost free. This means
that there is no build up of frost when it is
in operation, neither on the internal walls
nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the
continuous circulation of cold air inside
the compartment, driven by an
automatically controlled fan.
8.4 Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to
prevent unpleasant smells.
CAUTION!
If you want to keep the
appliance switched on, ask
somebody to check it once
in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
We recommend activating
Holiday Mode.
