Maintenance

Care When Handling / Moving the Unit

Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by
holding the edges of the top surface.

Servicing

The unit should be serviced by an authorized engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.

Switching Off for Long Periods of Time

When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food
and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Disposal

Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that
valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your unit and insulation
materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are
damaged prior to disposal.
Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one
can be obtained from your local council office.
When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the door as a safeguard.

Energy Saving

For better energy saving we suggest:
 Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and in a well-
ventilated too.
 Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature and therefore
causing continuous functionalizing of the compressor.
 Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
 Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
 In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door closed.
 Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible
 Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.

Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance.
