MAINTENANCE
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Internal cleaning
Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance
as it may get damaged.
Clean the inside and accessories of the refrigerating
compartment with warm water and sodium
bicarbonate (one tablespoon in 4 litres of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the inside of the freezer compartment after
each complete defrosting.
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Do not use abrasive products.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or vacuum cleaner. An accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the appliance and
cause excessive electricity consumption.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the mains, empty and clean, leaving
the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
What to do if the appliance is not functioning
properly.
If something is not working properly, check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;
there is an electricity supply (find out by plugging in
another appliance);
the thermostat knob is in the correct position.
Replacing the interior light bulb
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment
can be reached as follows:
unscrew the light cover securing screws;
unhook the moving part by pressing it as shown
in the figure.
If the door is open and the light does not come on,
check that it is screwed in adequately; if it still does
not work, replace it with one of the same power.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.
D411
If the appliance seems too noisy, check that the
sides are not touching furniture that can transmit or
amplify a noise or a vibration. Also, check that the
piping of the refrigerant system does not vibrate.
If there are water drops on the bottom of the
cabinet, check that the defrost water drain opening
is not obstructed.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact the nearest
service centre.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you
apply for it you specify the model & serial number
of your appliance which can be found on the rating
plate.
