MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Remove the plug from the wall outlet before doing any kind of work on the fridge.
To clean the inside of the equipment and its fittings we suggest using water and vinegar. Never use abrasives, detergent
or soap. The shelves are hooked on to the sides of the storage door. Periodically clean out the water discharge hole
on the rear wall with a brush or other non-pointed object (eg. matchstick).
Clean the door gasket with water and dry carefully.
Dry all the components, put the food back and switch the freezer back on.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should a steam cleaner ever be used for defrosting or cleaning. Steam may damage
live parts of the equipment and cause a short circuit or electric shocks. Steam may damage plastic parts. Oil
or organic solvents must never come into contact with the refrigerator compartment, as they can attack the
plastic, and should be kept in suitable containers. Examples of such substances:
- olive oil, seed oil;
- butter or other animals fats;
- lemon or orange juice
- detergents containing acetic acid
Prolonged disuse
If you go away for long periods, disconnect the equipment from the mains supply, empty, clean the inside and leave the
door open (to prevent bad smells forming).
Assistance
Malfunction is not always caused by defects in the equipment but may also be due to improper installation or use. To
avoid unnecessary intervention and the expense of calling in assistance, we recommend the following action:
The internal temperature isn't cold enough
Check that:
- the door is perfectly closed;
- the thermostat is in the correct position;
- the refrigerator is not near a heat source;
- the fridge is not installed in the kitchen unit without air circulation;
- there isn't too much frost in the freezer compartment.
The internal temperature is too cold
Check that:
- the thermostat is in the correct position;
The refrigerator is too noisy
Check that:
- the equipment is level within the unit;
- the rear part isn't touching the back wall;
- the baskets are in place properly.
The equipment isn't working
Check that:
- the thermostat isn't set at 0;
- the plug is properly in the outlet;
- the power cable isn't broken (sees WARNINGS section).
Water is coming out of the refrigerator
Check that:
- the drainage circuit isn't blocked;
- the fridge is level.
If the refrigerator won't work after carrying out the procedures described above, call the nearest Customer Service
centre (indicated on attached slip).
