The display unit is delivered with a plastic envelope containing this instruction manual. This manual must be kept with
the machine. It contains all the technical data, wiring diagrams and tables needed for the unit.
The following technical data are also shown on the serial plate (FIG. 8 on page 3):
1. Commercial name of the refrigerating cabinet unit;
2. Refrigerating
cabinet
code;
3. Refrigerating cabinet serial number;
4. Rating;
5. Frequency;
6. Max absorbed power;
7. Max absorbed power during defrosting;
8. Standard lighting power;
9. Net display area;
10. Net capacity;
11. Type of cooling gas used;
12. Weight of cooling gas loaded in each unit;
13. Climatic class and reference temperature (dry bulb);
14. Functioning class depending on product storage temperature;
15. Electrical safety factor;
16. Work schedule number;
17. Work order number;
18. Year of manufacture.
Warning:
The serial plate and the warning labels must never be removed from the cabinet. The Manufacturer is not
liable for any damage or injury if this warning is ignored. The Manufacturer certifies that this unit complies with Italian
legislative degree no. 108 dated 25.01.1992, applying EEC Directive 89/109 concerning materials and objects that
come into contact with food.
7 - Loading and use of the unit (start-up)
If the display unit has been greatly tilted during positioning and installation, wait at least three hours before starting it
up in order to give the lubricating oil enough time to collect in the compressor! The refrigerating unit may be
irretrievably damaged if this precaution is ignored. The display unit can only be started up for the very first time after
complying with points 3 and 4 above.
With the unit unplugged, remove the plastic film protecting the insides and outside and then clean (follow the
instructions in point 10 below). Screw on the back spacers as shown in FIG. 13 on page 4. Fit the various shelf
supports at the height required, as shown in FIG. 14 on page 4. FIG. 1 on page 1 shows the best distances between
shelves. Plug in the unit (having followed the instructions in point 5), then switch on the lights and motor unit located
under the decorative panel (see FIG. 12 on page 3). A slight humming of the motor indicates that the unit is powered.
Products can be loaded three hours after the unit has been switched on. The thermometer inside the display unit (see
FIG. 12 on page 3) will indicate the working temperature. The unit is designed to display food products and to maintain
the temperature of the product; it does not lower it. The product should, therefore, only be loaded once its proper
storage temperature has been reached. Recommendations for storage:
-
Never block the cooling outlets that guarantee the correct flow of air (see FIG. 15 on page 4).
- When loading a display cabinet that already contains products, it is best to place the new products below those
already inside (as well as observing the above points).
- At night, use the night blinds (available on request), as this will save energy and help preserve the products on
display.
ARGUS units normally have mechanical temperature control. The thermostat control and gas filling devices are set in
the factory. The Manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury should these be tampered with.
8 - Prohibitions and requirements
Warning
: 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.
Warning:
Never expose the unit to the atmospheric agents. Never use direct water jets to clean the unit. Never touch
or use the unit with wet or damp feet and hands.
Warning:
Never remove guards or covers that require tools to be removed. Never, under any circumstances, remove
the cover on the electronic panel.
Warning:
Never load the unit excessively. Never go inside the cabinet.
Warning:
Never stand on the unit or place heavy loads on top of the cabinet.
Warning:
Never try to remove any ice that may build up using sharp metal objects.
Warning:
The refrigerating circuit does not cause any chemical modification of the water generated from defrosting.
This comes exclusively from the vapour contained in the air circulating inside the unit. In any case, this water should
always be drained into the sewer or sent to a water purification plant in line with current local regulations.
Warning:
Any use of the unit not explicitly mentioned in this manual should be considered dangerous and the
Manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper, careless or unreasonable use.
