6. Onderhoud
Gereelde onderhoud verseker die lang lewensduur en optimale werkverrigting van u toestel.
6.1 Skoonmaak
- Ontkoppel altyd die toestel voordat dit skoongemaak word.
- Maak die binne- en buite-oppervlaktes skoon met 'n sagte lap en 'n sagte, nie-skurende skoonmaakmiddel.
- Moenie skuurmiddels, oplosmiddels of harde chemikalieë gebruik nie.

- Verwyder alle voedselprodukte en bêre dit op 'n koel plek.
- Ontkoppel die toestel.
- Leave the freezer door open to allow ice to melt naturally. Place towels at the bottom to collect water.
- Sodra dit ontdooi is, maak die binnekant deeglik skoon en droog voordat u die toestel weer inprop en die kos terugplaas.
7. Probleemoplossing
Voordat u kliëntediens kontak, kyk asseblief na die volgende algemene probleme:
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Toestel verkoel nie | Geen kragtoevoer nie; temperatuurinstelling te hoog; deur nie behoorlik toe nie. | Kontroleer die kragprop en sekering; pas die temperatuurinstelling aan; maak seker dat die deur heeltemal toe is. |
| Ongewone geluide | Appliance not level; objects vibrating against the back wall; normal operating sounds (e.g., refrigerant flow). | Adjust leveling feet; move objects away from the back wall; normal sounds are not a fault. |
| Water op die bodem van die yskaskompartement | Verstopte dreineringsgat. | Maak die dreineringsgat skoon met 'n klein, sagte stukkie gereedskap (bv. wattestokkie). |
If the problem persists after checking these points, please contact Neff customer service or a qualified technician.
