Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply
2. remove all food
3. clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Important! If the cabinet will be kept on,
ask somebody to check it once in a while to
prevent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often oc-
cur, which does not require calling a techni-
cian out. In the following chart information is
given about them to avoid unnecessary
charges on service.
Important! The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (compressor and
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.
