Caution:
the refrigerator system does not chemically alter the defrost water produced by the cabinet in any way. This
water is condensed steam from the air that circulates inside the cabinet. In any case, the water produced by the systems
should always be drained into the sewer system or treatment plant in accordance with the laws in force.
Caution:
any possible use not explicitly indicated in this manual is to be considered hazardous and the manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by improper, erroneous and unreasonable use of the cabinet.
10 - Defrosting cabinet and evaporation of condensation
The defrost cycle, which is indispensable for proper operation of the refrigerated cabinet, is under the control of the
electronic device, that temporarily stops the compressor and allows the evaporator to eliminate any accumulated ice. The
number of defrost cycles (standard is 4 every 24 hours) is set in the factory. Check periodically to make sure the cabinets
are defrosted automatically and in case of any malfunction call an expert.
Arché cabinets are equipped with an automatic evaporation system which eliminates the defrost water. At least once a
month check the level in the evaporator tray at the level of the motor compartment (this should be done with the cabinet
off).
Caution
: any adjustments or alterations should only be made by the service personnel.
11 - Cleaning the cabinet
Caution:
before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains.
Periodically clean the cabinet with mild detergent and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use inflammable or abrasive products.
Do not clean the cabinet with direct jets of water. When you clean the evaporator wear gloves to protect the hands from
possible cuts.
12 – Maintenance of the cabinet
Caution:
before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains.
Clean the condenser once a month, after removing the protective grating on the rear of the cabinet (FIG. 13 page 4). Use
a brush with stiff bristles (not metal) or a vacuum device, which is even better, to eliminate any deposits of dust between
the fins. When you clean the condenser wear gloves to protect the hands from possible cuts. After cleaning, replace the
grating previously removed. Leaving the condenser dirty for long periods leads to higher energy consumption and poor
performance of the cabinet.
We recommend having a refrigerator expert check the cabinet completely once a year.
Ice may form on the evaporator after long periods of use preventing proper operation. Every three months, clean the
cabinet thoroughly: unplug it and empty it completely. Wait for the ice on the fins of the evaporator to dissolve completely
and clean all parts of the cabinet as described in Par. 10 (before switching it back on make sure it is completely dry).
Caution:
other operations of maintenance not described above, including replacement of the fluorescent lamps, should
be carried out by an authorized service center or qualified personnel.
13 - Emergency situations
Caution:
if the cabinet should stop or fail to start
- Make sure there is not a situation of electrical black-out
- Make sure the switch on the control panel has been pressed
If the stoppage is not due to one of these causes, call the nearest service center and empty the cabinet. Place the
products in cold rooms designed for maintenance and storage.
Caution:
if the cabinet does not chill sufficiently
- Make sure the condenser is clean and capable of performing its heat exchange function. If not, read Par. 12.
- Make sure the cabinet is correctly loaded and that the air vents are unobstructed. If not read Par. 8.
- Make sure the evaporator is not covered with ice. If not read Par. 12.
- Make sure the cabinet is not close to a draft or heat source (see Par. 4).
- Make sure the cabinet is level and the environmental conditions listed in Par. 4 are respected.
If after checking all these things the problem persists, call the nearest service center.
Caution:
in case of a gas leak or fire, do not go near the motor compartment. Disconnect power to the cabinet. Do not
use water to extinguish flames. Use only a dry fire extinguisher. All the materials used in the construction of the cabinet
are fireproof or self-extinguishing or non-combustible.
14 - Service
If you require the services of an expert, and whenever you have to replace mechanical, electrical or compressors, the
user can contact the distributor where the cabinet was purchased, to order original spare parts.
15 - Dismantling and elimination of cabinet
For environmental reasons and in compliance with the regulations in your country, separate the parts of the cabinet for
disposal and/or recycling.
All the parts that make up the cabinet are made of materials that are not classifiable as urban waste except for the
metallic parts that are not classified as special waste in most countries. As regards the parts of the refrigeration circuit,
