: You will have to dedicate some time to the maintenance of your
counter top refrigerator unit. Following are several important rules to assure the durability and the
most efficient use of the unit for your refrigeration.
1.
Maintain good hygiene and keep the refrigerator unit clean, being careful not to use sharp or
pointed metallic objects, solvents or aggressive chemicals in cleaning the unit.
2.
At least once a week remove the basins, turn the unit off, allow the frost, which forms along the
walls to melt with the help of a sponge and hot water.
3.
Try to avoid sharp blows or movements to the counter top refrigerator unit; this type of treatment
may compromise its life-time and good operation.
NOTE: because there are electric component s present IT IS ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITED
AND DANGEROUS to allow water to come into contact with the refrigeration circuitry
regardless of whether the unit is on or off.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
: These under counter refrigerator units have a very simple design, and
therefore there are a limited number of possibilities for failure.
However, if the refrigerator unit fails to properly cool please remember the following important
information, very useful in identifying problems and in understanding the cause of possible failures.
1.
Check that the mains power supply is active.
2.
Verify that the switch is functioning properly: in the ON position the green signal light should be
on, and, within 5 or 6 seconds, the control display should show the internal temperature of the
refrigerator; the internal temperature should be higher than that set point, otherwise the system
can not operate properly.
3.
Once the unit is turned on, check that the ventilation fan is working properly.
4.
The condenser (aluminium exchanger placed sideways behind the perforated grill) should expel
hot air from the entire condensing surface after about 5 minutes of operation; if you place your
hands on the condensing unit, it should not be very hot to the touch. If this component does not
heat-up (even though the fan is working) the problem may be the compressor. If so please
contact a specialised assistance centre or your distributor or the manufacturer
