LIGHTING
The lighting in the freezer is a LED light. LED lights are more ecological and manufactured for a long life.
For this reason, these may not be replaced. If there is a problem with the lighting, contact a qualified
service centre in your area.
MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE
If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow
the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.
·
Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile
parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the freezer to avoid any shock.
·
Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing
upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
