PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE
Any further adjustments on the refrigerator necessarily require the electric plug to be removed.
Check periodically the supply cable in order to detect any damage. If the power supply cable is damaged, don't
use the equipment and don't try to repair it: to prevent any risk, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, by
a member of the after-sales service staff, or anyway by a person having similar qualifications. In any case,
none of the protective elements (the grill, the carter) must be removed by non qualified staff. Absolutely avoid
using the refrigerator without such protection.
For a good preservation of the cabinet's body
a periodical cleaning is necessary
.
EXTERNAL BODY
: When necessary, the external body should be cleaned with a cloth and a
neutral soap
and water solution.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
: wash with warm water and mild detergent, rinse well and dry with soft
cloth.
Avoid scouring pads etc. which will spoil the finish of the stainless steel.
SURFACES IN PLASTIC MATERIAL
: wash with warm water and mild detergent, rinse well and dry
with soft cloth;
under no circumstances should alcohol, methylated spirits or solvents be used.
MANUAL DEFROSTING AND TANK CLEANING
To always achieve the highest performance we recommend a manual defrosting when the layer of frost on
the refrigerating shelves or on the tank walls exceed 5 mm in thickness. Proceed as follows:
1) Remove the product from the refrigerator (put itinto another refrigerator at -18°C for the negative
models). For the models with internal baskets remove it from the tank.
2) Switch off the group using main switch (see controls picture) and unplug the unit.
3) On negative models place a tray of hot, but not boiling, water inside the tank, standing of a piece
of cardboard , close the door and wait for about 30 min.
4) Extract the discharge tube plug, put below a tray for draining water (AB400-AB500);
Remove the frontal grid and extract the water discharge tube, put its edge in a tray to collect
draining water (AB700,EC,EF).
5) Remove the plug inside the tank.
6) Wash very well tank walls, rinse and dry using a soft cloth and neutral soap.
Reset draining plugs or water disgcharge tube, switch on the unit, keep the door closed and after 1 hour
you can load the product again .
Do not use jet of water to clean the cabinet: electrical wiring could be damaged.
Never use mechanical devices or any other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
