ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CONDENSING COIL
It is important that the coil is capable of offering the maximum possible heat
exchange. It is therefore important that its surface be always free of dirt or
dust that may be deposited by the effect of the fan's operation.
Use a vacuum cleaner and soft bristled brush to remove all the impurities
such as paper or dust that may have deposited on the coil. When brushing
the condenser, exercise great care so as to avoid damaging the aluminium
grid or the fans.
If a fi lter is present, remove and clean it. Afterwards, put it in the original
position. If damaged or too dirty, ask for its replacement and change it.
DOOR/DRAWER GASKETS
To ensure a perfect seal, it's important to check the gaskets to be undamaged
and perfectly closing.

Check that the power cable that connects the appliance to the mains socket
is not cut, cracked or altered in such a way as to compromise the insulation.
Contact your authorised service centre if this requires maintenance.
If the power cable is damaged, have this replaced by the manufacturer or
its an authorized technical assistance service, or by someone with similar
qualifi cation, so as to avoid any risks.
LONG SHUTDOWNS
If the appliance is inactive for long periods of time proceed as follows.
Turn the main switch to the OFF position.
