3.6 Using the appliance compartment
Arranging beverages
Arrange the beverages, making sure they are sealed tight. This precaution is necessary:
• to preserve the aroma and freshness of
the beverages;
• to avoid any contamination of
beverages with odours or tastes from other beverages;
• to prevent the humidity level inside the
appliance from becoming too high, which in some operating conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the door) might cause condensation to form on the shelves.
Always allow hot drinks to cool to room temperature before putting them in the appliance compartment.
3.7 Storage advice
• Always check the expiry date on the food packaging.
• Remove perishable products from the appliance if you are going away for a long period.
• Changes in the environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) and the frequency with which the door is opened can affect the operating temperature of the appliance.
• Reduce the number of times that the doors are opened and the length of time they remain open to prevent the compartments from heating up excessively.

3.8 Noises during operation
The appliance compartment is cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the appliance compartment, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts to function, it creates a buzzing noise which generally diminishes in intensity after a few minutes.
Another normal operating noise of the appliance is a gurgling due to the coolant flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This noise is normal and does not indicate an appliance malfunction. If it becomes too loud, this may mean that there are other causes. Checks must then be made to ensure that:
• the appliance is properly levelled on the floor and does not vibrate when the compressor is in operation: if this is not the case, adjust the feet supplied with the appliance;
• Bottles and boxes are stable and not touching each other: otherwise, the vibration resulting from the compressor's operation could cause a certain amount of noise;
• Do not place the appliance in such a way that it is in contact with furniture or other household appliances.
3.9 What to do if...
The appliance does not work:
• Make sure that the appliance is plugged in and that the main switch is turned on.
The compressor starts to function too often or functions continuously:
• The room temperature is too high.
• The sliding doors are being opened too often or for too long.
• The sliding doors do not seal shut when closed.
• Check that the back of the appliance is properly ventilated and that the condenser is not too dirty.
Excessive ice or condensation has built up inside the appliance compartment:
• The sliding doors are being opened too often or for too long.
• Hot beverages have been placed inside the appliance compartment.
• The thermostat is set at a too low temperature.
The appliance compartment is not sufficiently cold:
• The thermostat is set at a too high temperature.
• The sliding doors are being opened too often or for too long.
• The sliding doors do not seal shut when closed.
• The room temperature is too high.

Cleaning and maintenance
4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodising, nickel- or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.
Power voltage
Danger of electrocution
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains before cleaning.
• Do not pull the cable to unplug the appliance.
4.2 Cleaning the appliance
A special antibacterial protection on the appliance's interior walls prevents bacterial growth and keeps them clean. They must nevertheless be cleaned regularly in order to keep them in good condition.
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
• The appliance may be cleaned with water or alcohol-based liquid detergents (e.g. window cleaning products).
• Avoid aggressive detergents and rough sponges to avoid damaging the surfaces.
Cleaning the inside of the appliance
• Clean the interior with diluted liquid detergent or with warm water with a little vinegar added.
• Remove any ice thicker than 3-5 mm. Do not use sharp objects or spray products.
4.3 Defrosting
Defrosting the appliance compartment
The appliance compartment does not require defrosting, as any ice which forms on the refrigeration plate will melt when the compressor is idle.
If ice thicker than 3-5 mm should form on the inside walls of the appliance compartment, turn off the appliance and defrost it manually.

Installation
How to handle the appliance
The appliance is supplied with four castors for easy handling and positioning. In any case, we recommend moving the appliance very carefully in order to avoid damaging the floor (especially in the case of wooden floors).
The front castors are fitted with a brake to lock the appliance in place:
1. Turn the front castors by 90° with the brake levers turned to face the centre of the appliance.
2. Press the brakes on the front castors down until they click in place.
3. Should you need to lift the appliance, with the aid of a second person, grip the wheel arches using both hands.
Positioning
Place the appliance on a stable and level floor. We recommend moving the appliance very carefully in order to avoid damaging the floor (especially in the case of wooden floors).

Choice of location
Always install the appliance in a dry place with satisfactory ventilation.
• Install the appliance at least 3 cm away from electrical or gas cookers and at least 30 cm away from combustion heaters or radiators.
• The appliance must not be installed near heat sources. If this is not possible, suitable insulation must be used.
