Measures to be taken after unused for a long period
If, after an extensive lay-up period, the refrigerator does not produce any cooling,
disconnect the appliance and turn it upside down for a few minutes then turn it the
right way up. After turn it over several times, reconnect it.
Maintenance
Clean the appliance regularly with warm water, containing a detergent if
necessary.
Never use an abrasive product. Dry the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth. Use
only clear water to clean the seal of the cover, and then coat the seal with talcum
powder.
All repairs, particularly of the cooling unit or the gas burner system, must
mandatorily be carried out by a qualified technician.
Troubleshooting
If a problem occurs, carry out the following checks:
Is
the appliance installed in a horizontal position?
Is there sufficient ventilation?
For 230V mains operation, check that the mains supply is correct. And is the
thermostat set correctly?
For gas operation, is the burner ignited?
Has the ignition safety (adjustment) knob been set to MAX?
Are the gas cylinder valve and/or the pressure regulator open?
Is there still a sufficient quantity of gas in the cylinder? The cylinder is empty if
no liquid can be heard moving about when it is shaken.
Have two modes of energy (gas and electricity) been selected at the same
time?
Has too much food been placed inside the refrigerator all at once? Arrange the
food so that the air is free to circulate inside the refrigerator.
Do not use pieces cardboard or
plastic as separations. Keep vessels containing
liquids closed.
If, despite the above checks, you still need to contact the Customer Service Hotline
describe the failure and state the type of equipment and its serial number (these
are marked on the label).
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
