TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

PROPER USE

In order to keep the performance of the device sufficient, observe the following:

• Use the device indoors.
• Set up the device in such a way that adequate ventilation is guaranteed! Do not cover the ventilation openings of the device.
• Do not open the refrigerator door unnecessarily. Wait a few seconds before trying to open the closed door again.
• Always close the door after using the device.
• Do not put hot food in the device.
• Only place food in the appliance when it has already reached its operating temperature.
• Do not put too many goods in the device that will block the flow of cold air.
• Clean condenser and compressor regularly! If they are very dusty, they will block the ventilation, so the cooler may use more energy or can even be damaged.
• Defrost the unit regularly (units with non-automatic defrost) as the layer of ice insulates and increases energy consumption. Devices with automatic defrosting usually carry out a defrosting cycle every 6 hours. Start manual defrosting on automatic devices: Hold down the defrost button.
• The maximum load capacity of the shelves is 30 kg.
• In freezers, the suitable temperature is -18 °C.
• Do not load the refrigerator! If more food than recommended is stored in the refrigerator, more energy is used or the door can be left open more easily.
• Put the food stored in the refrigerator, preferably far apart to ensure the flow of cold air!
• Do not block the operation of the internal fans.
• Do not let people with restricted, impaired physical or mental abilities use the device.
• Do not leave the device unattended when children are nearby.
• Maximum external ambient temperature: 55% humidity, +38 °C.

FOOD STORAGE

• The main causes of food spoilage are the bacteria that live in the cells. The growth of bacteria can be slowed down by lowering the temperature of the food. All foods require temperature and environmental conditions determined by their unique properties.
• Preservation can be done in a refrigerator, refrigerated worktop, freezer, refrigerated cells or mini-cells, etc.
• In order to use the best appliance you have purchased for storing food, we recommend to consider the:
  • Freezing point
  • Durability Characteristics unique to each product

The maximum temperature (°C) for the preservation of raw products:

CONTINUOUS MAINTENANCE, CONSERVATION OF TECHNICAL CONDITIONz

Continuous and professional maintenance extends the life of your device and guarantees safe use. ATTENTION: WARRANTY CAN ONLY BE PROVIDED FOR DEVICES THAT ARE CONTINUOUSLY MAINTAINED AND REGULARLY CLEANED!
ATTENTION : Disconnect the machine from the power supply before all cleaning and maintenance work.

Cleaning from the outside
We recommend the following:

• Cleaning agents: with soapy water or a special cleaning agent suitable for protecting the surface. Do not use corrosive, acidic or alkaline substances.
• Cleaning tool: cloth or sponge.
• Frequency: recommended once a week.

Defrosting
Regular defrosting is required for proper use. This can be done manually or automatically. Devices with automatic defrosting usually carry out a defrosting cycle every 6 hours. Start manual defrosting on automatic devices: Hold down the defrost button.

Cleaning of the condenser
The performance of the cooling unit also depends on the deposits that accumulate in the condenser, so it is important to clean it. Be sure to unplug the device before cleaning. The cleaning of the condenser is the responsibility of the user, a clean condenser is a prerequisite for proper use.

• Clean the lamellas from dust and accumulated dirt in horizontal movements with a brush.
• For greasy dirt, use a brush dipped in alcohol. Then restart your device.
• Frequency: recommended once a month.

ATTENTION : Due to the sharp edges, the use of protective gloves is recommended!

Clean the evaporator/compressor
Since the evaporator of the monoblock is in the same cold room than food, it is important to keep it clean at all times from a hygienic and health point of view. Before the procedure, remove the food to avoid contamination.

• During normal use, the melted water will automatically exit by the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment when the compressor stops. The water produced by de-icing in the cooler or on top of the cooler, through the trough-like channel under the monoblock, reaches the tank above the compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to clean regularly the meltwater drain that leads the water during defrosting to prevent the water from flowing into the storage room and damaging the unit or the stored goods. Regular cleaning is the responsibility of the user.
• From time to time also check the integrity and condition of the electrical wiring.
• ATTENTION : It is strictly forbidden to remove the safety covers of the device during maintenance. Disconnect the machine from the mains before cleaning or maintenance work. The manufacturer is not responsible for non-compliance with the instructions for use.
• Observance of the instructions for use is necessary in order for adequate performance and service life of the device. Maintenance and cleaning work should be carried out by persons who have received occupational safety training and who have also been informed about the content of this user manual.
• ATTENTION : Repair work may only be carried out by suitably qualified specialist personnel. Do not attempt to repair parts yourself or replace it as this is dangerous and invalidates the warranty.
