In those units equipped with metallic drawers, it is not advisable to load them with more than 30kg weight per drawer or 25kg in
plastic boxes, ensuring in all cases that the load is uniformly distributed. For this reason sitting or leaning on the drawers is not
allowed.
Do not remove the protection from the movable components without having previously disconnected the power supply.
Take necessary precautions before manipulating the condenser unit area, due to the existence of high temperatures of some of the
components and the resultant risk of burns.
8. MAINTENANCE
The units are equipped with a drainage outlet to make cleaning easier, as well as allowing for the eventual seepage of liquids from the foods.
During cleaning, the drainage outlet cover has to be removed and cleaned in order to avoid being blocked by solid elements being pulled into it.
The good operation and performance of the unit will largely depend on its correct maintenance, carried out periodically.
The manufacturer is exempt from all liability arising from non-compliance with the procedures contained in this manual.
GAS CONDENSER
The incorrect maintenance and lack of cleaning of the gas condenser of the refrigerated unit can considerably reduce the performance of the unit
as well as shortening the life of the compressor motor. The cleaner the unit, especially the condenser fins,
the greater the energy saving
.
In any event, it is recommended that this task is
carried out by a service technician
. In the case of any doubt, please contact your distributor.
We recommend that this operation is carried out at least once every three months and at the start of every summer.
EVAPORATORS
Onlyforspecialistpersonnel
The only maintenance the evaporators require is proper cleaning. This has to be done with the machine stopped and once the ice that may be
present on the fins has melted or once defrosting has been done by operating the controls. This process may be accelerated by using warm water,
NEVER
using hard or sharp objects.
In order to clean the coil or the casing,
DO NOT
use chemical de-greasers with acid compounds or bleach, chlorine, ammonia or salts as all these
products aggressively attack copper and aluminium. Only water with well-diluted neutral detergents should be used or products especially
designed for cleaning the evaporators of refrigerated units. Thecleanertheunit,

AUTOMATIC EVAPORATION TRAY
Onlyforspecialistpersonnel
The majority of the units are equipped with an automatic evaporation tray for the situations where an external outlet is not available to collect the
defrosted water from the evaporators. If this tray is not included, the drainage tubes have to be connected directly to the appropriate device or a
receptacle should be positioned in order to collect the water.
The defrost water can also cause breakdowns as the piping that brings the heat necessary for the water to evaporate can be punctured or the
electrical resistance can deteriorate.
The duration and number of defrosts the refrigerating equipment is regulated at the factory. The user should not change this regulation.
The cleaning of the gas condenser must be carried out with the unit unplugged and
removing the protectors (grills) or taking out the condenser unit (depending on the
model)
In order to remove the dirt deposited between the condenser fins, any of the following
procedures are recommended:
Use a toothbrush or soft-bristle brush.
Blow the dirt using a suitable appliance.
Use air pressure to remove the dir.
Before carrying out any cleaning operation, disconnect the unit from the power supply and place the main
switch in the
OFF
position.
