Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will
damage the surface and leave a strong
odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Defrosting of the freezer
This compartment is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the inter-
nal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continu-
ous circulation of cold air inside the com-
partment, driven by an automatically con-
trolled fan.
circulating sound). This not means a
trouble, but a normal operation.
Important! The appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not touch the
electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
Possible cause
The appliance is not supported
properly.
The cushion spacers located be-
tween the back of the cabinet
and the pipes come loose.
The temperature in the freezer is
too high.
An error has occurred in meas-
uring the temperature.
The Temperature regulator may
be set incorrectly.
The door is not closed correctly.
The door has been opened too
frequently.
Solution
Check if the appliance stands sta-
ble (all feet and wheels should be
on the floor). Refer to "Levelling".
Put them back in place again.
Refer to "High Temperature
Alarm".
Call your service representative
(the cooling system will continue
to keep food products cold, but
temperature adjustment will not
be possible).
Set a warmer temperature.
Refer to "Closing the door".
Do not keep the door open longer
than necessary.
