MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Maintenance and repair must be carried out by qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility for jobs carried out by unauthorized personnel or the use of non-original spare parts.
5.1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Prohibited to remove the guards and safety devices: It’s strictly forbidden to remove guards or safety devices when performing routine maintenance operation. The manufacturer disclaims all liability that may arise this regulation is not observed.
In case of FIRE:
– Disconnect the unit from the electrical power socket.
– Do not use water to extinguish the fire.
– Use powder or foam extinguishers.
Cleaning the interior and exterior of the appliance
The appliance is designed for the products storage so it is important to keep it clean. The equipment is thoroughly cleaned at the factory before being shipped. We recommend, however, to clean the interior cabinet before the first start up of the appliance. Before attempt any cleaning operation make sure the power cord is disconnected.
– Cleaning product: use soft clean cloth wet with water and neutral detergent only.Do not
use solvent or bleach.
-Rinsing: use a soft cloth or sponge soaked with fresh clean water. Do not use water jet.
-Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in- one stainless steel cleaner and polish monthly. Some installation may require cleaning weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces.
Condenser cleaning
The condenser is a heat exchanger. If it is dirty or clogged the air cannot circulate freely through the same, it cannot discharge heat properly so reducing proportionally the performance and the efficiency of the refrigeration system.
FOR THOSE REASONS IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP CLEAN THE CONDENSER COIL, TYPICALLY MONTHLY.
Always switch off the unit and disconnect power cord before cleaning, it is dangerous to do it with power ON: fan may start suddenly at any time.
Use a convenient ladder to reach the condenser. Use an air jet or vacuum with a soft drybrush if necessary and remove any dust or fluff from the heat exchanger fins.
After cleaning, start the equipment.
During the cleaning operation wear gloves and safety glasses to protect yourself from any injury

CAUTION! The modification of the operational parameters without authorization of the manufacturer causes the lost of guarantee.
NOTE:

1. Altering parameter P0 effects all parameters where the unit of measurement is degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
2. The unit of measurement depends on parameter P0
3. The test result is positive if the difference between the temperature measured by the needle probe and the cabinet temperature is greater than the value set by parameter P14 at least 3 times out of 5 (checking is every 10 s); if the test result is negative a second test is initiated (se parameter P15)
4. The result of the second test is positive if the difference between the temperature measured by the needle probe and the cabinet temperature increases by at least 1_C/1_F with respect to the previous check at least 6 times out of 8 (checking occurs every P15/8 s); if parameter P15 is set to a value of less than 5 s, the second test will not be executed
5. If parameter P22 is set to 2, micro port input activation will not be signalled
6. The unit of measurement depends on parameter P58
7. Defrosting will be activated on conclusion of the time which is greatest between those set by parameters P30 and P31
8. If defrosting is requested when the compressor is on and the time set by parameter P30 is less than the value set by parameter P31, the compressor will remain on and the solenoid valve and defrosting will be activated after the time “P31 – P30” has elapsed since the defrost request; vice versa, if defrosting is requested when the compressor is on and the time set by parameter P30 is greater than that set by parameter P31, when defrosting is requested the compressor will be switched off for the greater of the times between those set by parameters P19, P20 and P21 after which the compressor and defrosting will be activated (the solenoid valve will be activated  “P30 – P31” s prior to activation of defrosting)
9. Parameter P39 has no effect during UV light switch on (cabinet sterilisation)
10. Altering parameter P73 is effective on exiting the configuration parameter setting procedure; as soon as you will quit the configuration parameters setting procedure, parameter P73 will automatically get Value 0.
