Maintenance And Cleaning; Internal Cleaning; When The Appliance Is Not In Use; Changing The Light Bulb - Tricity Bendix BR 593 W Operating & Installation Instructions Manual

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRIC-
ITY supply.

Internal cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS,
HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR
WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS
THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A
STRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular in-
tervals and make sure that the drain hole is never ob-
structed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, dis-
connect from the electricity supply, empty all foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to pre-
vent unpleasant smells.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?

Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service
Centre, check the following points:
The appliance does not work...
Check that:
There is power at the socket.
Ensure that there is not a power cut by checking
the household lights.
The fuse has not blown.
The air circulation passages are not covered.
The thermostat dial is in the correct position.
Vibration or abnormal noises...
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils of tubing, to
the cooling plate/evaporator. When the compressor is
on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will
hear a whirring or pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint "click" when the thermostat cuts in and out.
Traces of water on the bottom of the fridge com-
partment...
Check that:
The defrost water discharge hole is not obstructed.
The light does not come on...Check that:
The bulb is fitted correctly.
Replace the bulb if it has blown.

Changing the light bulb

Should the interior light fail to work, first switch off the
appliance and disconnect from the electricity supply,
then replace the bulb as follows, see Fig. 21.
D206
Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward to-
ward the middle of the cabinet. Unscrew the bulb and
replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from your
nearest Tricity Bendix Service Centre).
Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original po-
sition and replacing the screw.
Fridge does not defrost...
Check that:
The thermostat setting is not too high (see page 10).
Other points to check...
Check that:
Have you turned the thermostat to the correct setting?
Has the door been left open causing the tempera-
ture to rise?
If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your
local Tricity Bendix Service Centre, whose address
can be found in the accompanying Complete Care
leaflet, and can also be found in your local telephone
directory under «T». Please make sure you give the
model and serial number of the appliance. This infor-
mation can be found on the rating plate inside the
fridge compartment on the left side behind the salad
drawer, or on the guarantee certificate.
Original spare parts can be purchased from Tricity
Bendix Service Centres.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the
above checks have been made as the engineer will
make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or
electrical breakdown.
Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service
Centre, make a note of the model and serial
number. This information can be found on the rat-
ing plate situated inside the cabinet behind the
bottom freezer drawer.
