MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, be
sure to unplug the appliance from the wall socket as
a safety precaution.
Clean the interior periodically with lukewarm
water and some sodium bicarbonate; the cabinet
exterior with a silicone wax spray; the condenser
and the motor compressor with a brush or a vacuum
cleaner.
During periods when the appliance is not in use,
take the following precautions:
unplug the appliance from the power supply;
remove all foodstuffs from the appliance;
clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the doors ajar to facilitate the circulation of
air in the interior of the cabinet so as to prevent the
formation of unpleasant odours.
SERVICING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check
that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is no power failure; the control knob is in the
right position.
Interior light bulb
(Fig. 8)
The light inside the refrigerator compartment is
easy to get at. If the light does not come on when
the door is open, check that it is screwed into place
properly.
If it still does not light up, change the bulb, using a
new bulb with the same rating.

Furthermore, if the appliance seems too noisy check
that the sides are not touching furniture that can
transmit or amplify noise or vibration. Also, check
that the refrigerant unit does not vibrate.
If there is water on the fridge bottom, make sure
the defrost water drainage hole is not clogged
(Fig. 7).
To clean the drainage hole use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inserted into
the hole.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer
or the nearest service center.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the model and serial number of
your appliance which can be found on the warranty
certificate or inside the appliance on the rating plate.
