5. MAINTENANCE
5.1. Cleaning and Maintenance
ATTENTION! All maintenance services should be carried out after the device is disconnected from the voltage!
Make sure not to damage the temperature controller and other electric parts during the cleaning and maintenance of the unit.
It is recommended to switch off the unit at least once a month to conduct internal cleaning, condenser maintenance, defrosting
procedures and check the door seals.
5.1.1. Cabinet Cleaning
During the cleaning of the upright cabinet, please AVOID TO USE the following objects:
• any sharp objects for cleaning of the surfaces;
• any mechanical objects to speed up the process of defrosting;
• appliance shall not be cleaned with a water jet, use a damp cloth.
5.1.2. Defrosting of the Evaporator
The upright cabinet is equipped with a system of automatic defrosting of the evaporator -
with an interval of 8 hours. In the case of incomplete defrosting, this should be done manually.
5.1.3. Condenser Maintenance
The user should periodically check the condition of the condenser. The ingoing and outgoing
air openings of the condenser must not be blocked by objects. A dirty condenser leads to reduced
cooling capacity, overheating of the refrigeration unit and even damage to the compressor.
ATTENTION! The condenser needs to be cleaned at least once a month.
Clean the condenser fins with a soft brush or paintbrush. To do that:
1) Disconnect the device from the power source;
2) Remove the protective grill covering the unit;
3) Using a soft brush, clean the condenser from dust, remnants of the package, etc. (Pic. 16);
4) After cleaning, place the protective grill in reverse order.
In case of dirty condenser (dust between the condenser fins) it is recommended to use an air compressor or compressed nitrogen to
blow out the contaminants between the fins.
The compressor is equipped with an internal backup (thermal) switch, which protects the engine from accidental overloads. If you hear unnatural,
loud operation or the heavy start of the compressor, switch off the appliance, check the condition of the condenser (in case of pollution - clean it).
WARNING! Failure to perform this service can result in a complicated starting of the compressor, the operation of the unit, the
overheating of the compressor and, consequently, deterioration of the cooling efficiency.
The manufacturer is not responsible for damage to the unit that arose as a result of noncompliance with the purity of the condenser!
