Periodic cleaning
Never use metal objects for clearing your appliance as
it may get damaged. Clean the inside with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a
year remove the ventilation grille at the base and clean
the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit maintenance and recharging must

MAINTENANCE
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
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 an electricity supply (find out by plugging
in another appliance);
• the thermostat knob is in the correct position.
• If there are water drops on the bottom of the
cabinet, check that the defrost water drain
opening is not obstructed (see “Defrosting”
section).
• 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 and serial number
of your appliance which can be found on the
guarantee certificate or on the rating plate located
inside the appliance, on the bottom left-hand side.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in
operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the
foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven
by an automatically controlled fan.
