Some equipment may have a load limit and are marked with a special sticker if this is the case. Do
not place products above this limit otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the unit.
The maximum permissible load per shelf is 40 kg/m.
On digital thermostats, when the equipment is fully loaded, it is possible for the alarm to go off
after 2 hours if it has not yet reached the set temperature. Press the "mute" button to turn the
alarm off and wait for 12 hours for the temperature to stabilize. If the set temperature has not
been reached within that time, please contact our technical services or our dealers.
Defrosting
Positive Cold Storage Models
In the case of models with digital thermostat, defrosting is automatic and controlled by the
thermostat itself. The cycle is pre-set at the factory for 20 minutes every 4 hours, except for
equipment with two probes in which the time between defrosting is 6 hours for 20 minutes (only if
necessary).
Negative Cold Storage Models
For other negative cold equipment, defrosting is manual and should be carried out at least every 6
months. Disconnect the mains plug from the wall outlet and allow the unit to defrost.
Place a container under the front drainpipe, remove the plug from the inner drain hole and wait for
the ice to thaw (do not use hot water).
Do not use sharp objects to remove ice as these may damage the inside of the equipment. Do not
use mechanical, electrical, or chemical processes to speed up the defrosting process.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: The equipment's power cord must be disconnected from the mains before any
inspection, maintenance, and cleaning work so as to avoid any electrical shock or injury. During
maintenance, do not breathe in dust or aerosols near the equipment as they may be harmful to
your health.
Frequent and correct maintenance is essential to ensure performance and functionality of the
equipment, consequently, maintenance is recommended at least twice a year and cleaning at least
once a month;
The following operations must be carried out for efficient maintenance:
• Lubricate the hinges and gaskets. Wipe off any excess lubricant;
• Check that the appliance is levelled. If necessary, adjust the levelers/feet;
• Inspect all seals and gaskets. Make sure they are still soft and flexible.
