9 Appliance safety devices
• In case of the risk of frost, make
sure that the electrical supply to the
appliance is turned on.
10 Appliance maintenance and
servicing
The refrigerant fluid contains gases that,
when released into the atmosphere,
may affect the environment by depleting
the ozone layer, contributing to the
greenhouse effect and an increase in
temperature. The risk of leakage cannot
be excluded for devices intended to
operate for many years and subject to the
effects of the environment.
For your safety and in accordance with
the section R543-76 and the following
section of the environmental code, any
maintenance and repair operations
to be carried out on your appliance
and requiring work to be effected on
the refrigerant circuit, checks on the
appliance’s airtightness, dismantling, the
recovery and loading of refrigerants and,
in general, any operations performed
on the appliance requiring the handling
of refrigerants, should be performed by
a professional holding a corresponding
certificate of competence as issued by an
authorised authority.
By failing to observe the above, and
notwithstanding the risks to safety and
your own responsibility in the event of non
compliance, you risk a being subject to a
fine.
10.1 Cleaning
e Before cleaning turn the
appliance off.
• The appliance casing can be cleaned
using a mild liquid detergent with a
damp cloth, then a dry cloth to polish.
i
Do not use any form of
abrasive or solvent cleaner
as you may damage the
paintwork.
• Periodically check that no obstacles
(cardboard, twigs, leaves ...) are
impeding ventilation around the
appliance.
10.2 Regular servicing
Regular servicing of the appliance is
important to the prolonged, safe and
efficient use of your appliance.
i
Incorrect or inadequate
servicing can severely affect
the safety of the appliance and
can lead to injury.
We recommend that your appliance is
serviced every year.
• Only use a competent person.
The service engineer should complete
the relevant Service Record on the
Benchmark Checklist after each service.
The Benchmark Checklist may be
required in the event of any warranty
work and as supporting documentation
relating to home improvements in the
optional documents section of the Home
Information Pack.
