by ice formations in the appliance pipes.
G.15 Replacing wear and tear components
There are parts, whose damage happens because of the
ordinary use during a period, which are not covered by the
manufacturer warranty.
G.16 Repair and extraordinary maintenance
NOTE!
Repair and extraordinary maintenance have to be
carried out by specialised authorised personnel,
who can ask the manufacturer to supply a servicing
manual.
G.17 Maintenance intervals
All the components requiring maintenance are accessible from the front or the rear panel of the appliance.
The inspection and maintenance intervals depend on the actual machine operation conditions and ambient conditions (presence of
dust, damp, etc.), therefore precise time intervals cannot be given.
In any case, careful and periodical machine maintenance is advisable in order to minimise service interruptions.
To ensure constant machine efficiency, it is advisable to carry out the checks with the frequency given in the following table:
IMPORTANT
Machine maintenance, checking and overhaul operations must only be carried out by a specialised Technician or the
Customer Care Service, provided with adequate personal protection equipment (safety shoes and gloves), tools and
ancillary means;
Work on the electrical equipment must only be carried out by a specialised electrician or the Customer Care Service.

1.
In particular conditions (e. g. intensive use of the appliance, salty environment, etc.) the preventive maintenance should be more frequent.
2.
the machine is designed and built for a duration of about 10 years. After this period of time (from commissioning) the machine must undergo a general
inspection and overhaul. Some examples of checks to be carried out are given below.
• Check for any oxidised electrical components or parts; if necessary, replace them and restore the initial conditions;
• Check the structure and welded joints in particular;
• Check and replace bolts and/or screws, also checking for any loose components;
