The cabinet is designed for the display of food products, which are stored at the temperature of the product, and does not
lower it. The product should therefore be placed in the cabinet only after it has been chilled to its proper storage
temperature.
For better conservation of the product we recommend:
- Do not obstruct the cold recycle vents that ensure a correct air flow.
- Leave some room between products to ensure good air circulation.
- When placing more products inside a partially filled cabinet, in addition to following the above instructions, it is a good
rule to place the new products underneath the existing ones.
- Use the sliding rear closures (available on request), that in addition to storing products better, save energy.
9 - Prohibitions and regulations
Caution: disconnect the cabinet from the power supply in case it is not used for long time. The power supply has to be
disconnected by the remote-control switch fitted upstream from the power socket.
Caution: do not expose the cabinet to atmospheric agents, never use jets of water to clean it, do not touch and use the
cabinet with wet or damp feet or hands.
Caution: do not remove guards or covers that require tools to remove them, never remove the cover on the power panel.
Caution: do not place heavy loads on the shelves and in the cabinet, and never climb on the counter top.
Caution: the refrigerator system does not chemically alter the defrost water produced by the cabinet in any way. This
water is condensed steam from the air that circulates inside the cabinet. In any case, the water produced by the systems
should always be drained into the sewer system or treatment plant in accordance with the laws in force.
Caution: any possible use not explicitly indicated in this manual is to be considered hazardous and the manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by improper, erroneous and unreasonable use of the cabinet.
Caution: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (IEC60335-2-89:2002 and changes)
Caution: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer (IEC60335-2-89:2002 and changes)
Caution: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Caution: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
10 - Defrosting cabinet and evaporation of condensation
The defrost cycle, indispensable for the proper operation of the refrigerated cabinet, is controlled by a timer that stops the
compressor temporarily at fixed intervals to allow the evaporator to eliminate any ice which may have accumulated. This
operation can be simplified by introducing armored heating elements that help the ice on the evaporator to melt when the
defrost cycle is on. These heating elements are optional and are supplied on request. The number of defrost cycles
(standard is 4 cycles every 24 hours) is set in the factory. Check periodically to make sure the cabinets are defrosted
automatically and in case of any malfunction call an expert.
The models with incorporated compressor are not equipped with an automatic evaporation system for the defrost water,
which collects in the tray on the rear of the cabinet and should be emptied periodically (FIG. 17 page 5).
Caution: any adjustments or alterations should only be made by the service personnel.
Caution: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer (IEC60335-2-89:2002 and changes)
11 - Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically clean the cabinet with mild detergent and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use inflammable or abrasive products.
Do not clean the cabinet with direct jets of water. When you clean the evaporator wear gloves to protect the hands from
possible cuts.
Caution: before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains.
12 – Maintenance of the cabinet
Routine maintenance:
The cabinet is equipped with a battery-operated digital thermometer with liquid crystal display inside the basin (FIG. 16
page 4). If the thermometer does not display the temperature because of a dead battery, replace it with a new one of the
same voltage. Always dispose of dead batteries at authorized disposal centers. (Batteries should never be disposed of
with ordinary waste)
Replacement of the battery: using a screwdriver pry up one side of the thermometer to raise it and take it out of its
housing (FIG. 18a. page 5). The battery housing is on the back of the thermometer; twist the cover counterclockwise and
remove the dead battery (FIG. 18b page 5).
Special maintenance:
Clean the condenser once a month, after removing the protective grating on the rear of the cabinet (FIG. 19 page 5). Use
a brush with stiff bristles (not metal) or a vacuum device, which is even better, to eliminate any deposits of dust between
the fins. When you clean the condenser wear gloves to protect the hands from possible cuts. After cleaning, replace the
