9 - Defrosting the unit and evaporation of condensation water
The defrost cycle, which is necessary for a proper operation of the refrigerated cabinet, is under the control of the
electronic device, that temporarily stops the compressor and allows the evaporator to eliminate any accumulated ice. The
number of defrosting cycles (standard no. 4 every 24 hours) is set in the factory. Regularly check the efficiency of the
automatic defrosting cycle; if there are problems, call an expert technician.
Fly display cases are equipped with an automatic evaporation system which eliminates the defrost water. Periodically
check the level in the evaporation tray on the side of the motor compartment (this should be done when the cabinet is off).
Caution: any adjustments or alterations should be made by the service personnel only.
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)
10 - Cleaning the unit
Caution: before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains. 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 and from direct contact with cold
surfaces.
11 – Unit maintenance
Warning: All maintenance operations should be carried out by expert personnel.
Warning: Unplug at the mains before servicing.
Warning: Other maintenance operations, (not described herein) including replacement of lamps with lamps of the same
model, have to be commissioned to authorised centres of assistance or qualified personnel.
Clean the condenser once a month by removing the protection grid (see FIG. 11 on page 4) on the rear of the cabinet.
Use a stiff bristle brush (not metallic) or a vacuum cleaner to remove all traces of dust and waste that may have built up
between the fins, taking care not to damage these. Always wear gloves to protect your hands against accidental cuts. Fix
back in place all protections after cleaning.
Letting the condenser run for long time without cleaning leads to higher energy consumption and lower overall
performance of the unit!
The evaporator could become covered with ice after long running time, thus preventing the unit from working at full
efficiency. Generally clean the cabinet every three months: unplug and empty completely. Wait for any ice in the
evaporator fins in the top section to melt away and then carefully clean with a soft bristle brush as per Par. 10. Again,
always wear protective gloves to avoid cutting your hands. Before plugging the unit in again, always check that all internal
parts are completely dry.
We recommend getting the unit serviced once a year by a refrigerator expert or qualified personnel.
12 – Emergency situations
Warning: If the unit stops or doesn't start:
-
Make sure that there is not a situation of electrical black-out.
-
Check the unit is plugged in properly.
-
Make sure the switch on the control panel has been pressed on start position.
If the problem is not due to the above reasons, contact your nearest service centre and empty the unit, placing the
products in suitable storage cold-rooms to avoid breaking the cold chain.
Warning: If the unit doesn't cool the products enough:
-
Make sure that the condenser is clean and capable of exchanging the heat. If not, see point 11.
-
Make sure that the unit has been loaded properly and that the air intake is not obstructed. If not, see point 7.
-
Make sure that the unit evaporator is not covered with ice. If not, read point 11.
-
Make sure that the unit is not close to strong air flows or heat sources (see point 4).
-
Make sure that the unit is levelled and that the environmental conditions meet those indicated in point 4.
If the problem persists despite the above checks, contact your nearest service centre.
Warning: Never approach the motor compartment in the event of leaking gas or a fire. Unplug at the mains. Never use
water to put out any flames, but only dry powder extinguishers.
