CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Recommendations for Cleaning and Maintenance

!Before carrying out any maintenance intervention, activate all envisioned safety devices. In particular, deactivate the electrical power supply using the automatic disconnecting switch.

Routine Maintenance

Routine maintenance consists of daily cleaning of all the parts which can come into contact with foodstuffs and the periodic maintenance of the burners, nozzles and draining pipes. Correct maintenance allows the user to maximise performance levels and operating life and constantly maintain safety requirements. Do not spray the appliance with direct jets of water or high pressure appliances. When cleaning stainless steel, do not use iron wool, brushes or scrapers as ferrous particles could be deposited which, on oxidising, could lead to rust. To remove hardened residues, use wooden or plastic spatulas or abrasive rubber pads. During long periods of inactivity, spread a  protective layer on all stainless steel surfaces bywiping them with a cloth soaked in Vaseline oil and airing the rooms periodically.

• Do not use products which contain substances which are harmful and dangerous for personal health (solvents, petrol etc.).
• Check functioning of the electric boards and probes.
• Check the efficiency of the electrical system.

INSTALLATION

Packaging And Unpacking
Move and install the appliance respecting the information provided by the manufacturer, shown directly on the packaging, on the appliance and in this manual. The lifting and transportation system of the packaged product envisages the use of a fork-lift truck or a pallet stacker, using which particularattention must be paid to balancing the weight in order to prevent the risk of overturning (avoid excessive tilting!).

ATTENTION: When inserting the lifting device, pay attention to the gas supply pipe and the position of the feet.
ATTENTION: given the presence of weights concentrated in the high part of the appliance, do not drag the appliance during movements (tipping hazard and damage to feet). The packaging is made of cardboard and the pallet of wood. A series of symbols is printed on the cardboard packaging which highlights, inaccordance with international standards, the provisions which the appliances must be subject to during loading, unloading, transportation and storage.

• On delivery, check that the packaging is intact and has not suffered any damage during transportation.
• Any damage must be notified to the transportation company immediately.
• The appliance must be unpacked as soon as possible to check that it is intact and undamaged.
• Do not cut the cardboard with sharp tools in order to prevent damage to the steel panels underneath.
• Pull the cardboard packaging upwards.
• After having unpacked the appliance, check that the features correspond to those requested in the order;
• For any anomalies, connect the dealer immediately.
• Packaging elements (nylon bags, polystyrene foam, staples …) must not be left within reach of children.
• Remove the protective PVC film from the internal and external walls, avoiding the use of metal tools.
• Inside the cooling compartment, guides for the tray are located at the bottom.
• All the installation phases must be considered, from the moment of creation of the general plan.
• The installation area must be equipped with all power supply and production residue drainage connections and must be suitably lit and respect current laws regarding hygiene and sanitary requirements.
• To optimise consumption and reduce wear of the machine, do not position it in the vicinity of heat sources or in environments where temperatures are too high.
• Proceed with appliance levelling, acting on the the individual feet.
• This appliance can only be installed and operate in rooms which are permanently ventilated, in order to guarantee correct operation.
• Connect and leave for a certain period of time (at least 2 hours) before checking functioning. During transport it is probable that the compressor lubricant oil has entered the refrigerant circuit blocking the capillary: as a consequence the appliance will function for a certain period of time without producing cold until the oil has returned to the compressor.

ATTENTION: the appliance requires the minimum functioning spaces as shown in the diagram.

Electric Power Supply Connection

• Connection must be carried out by authorised and qualified staff, respecting the current laws regarding the subject and using appropriate prescribed material.
• Before connecting the appliance to the electric mains check that the voltage and the frequency correspond to the data stated on the registration plate applied on the rear of the  appliance
• The equipment is supplied with one of the following operating voltages:
  • 230V 1~ 50Hz
  • 220V1~ 60Hz.
• Before connection, ensure the presence of a  relevant differential switch with adequate power inthe mains power supply, upstream from the appliance, in order to protect the appliance from overloads or short circuits.

Water connection

• The appliance must be supplied with drinking water.
• The ultrasonic humidifier works with demineralised water. If you were to use normal water this will decrease the life of the transducers,in particular the maintenance interval for cleaning or replacement of the transducers. Below the minimum requirements to be met :

To carry out connection, connect the mains pipe to the appliance connection pipe (ø ¾”) (1), interposing a shut-off cock (A) to interrupt the  water supply when necessary. Downstream from this, install some easily reachable filters. The water temperature must be between 5°C and 50°C. The water pressure must be enough to guarantee a correct functioning (see the following table). Connect the safety discharge (2). Arrange a funnel to grant the continuity interruption of the draining pipe (3). Connect a drain trap to prevent the return of odours (4).

Once the installation is completed, flush out the supply line for few minutes by piping water directly into the drain without sending it into thehumidifier. This will eliminate any dross or processing residues that may block the inlet valve.  ! Do not add disinfectants or corrosioninhibiters in the water, as these are potential irritants; it is absolutely forbidden to use well or industrial water, or water from cooling circuits and, in general, of potentially contaminated water (chemically or bacteriological).

Inspection

The appliance is delivered in conditions that it can be started-up by the user. This functionality is guaranteed by passing thetests (electric inspection – functional inspection, appearance inspection) and relative certification through the specific attachments.
