(standard is 4 cycles 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.
Marte 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 close to the motor compartment (this should be done with the cabinet off).
Warning
: any adjustments or alterations should only be made by the service personnel.
Warning
: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer (IEC60335-2-89 and changes)
11 - Cleaning the cabinet
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.
Caution:
before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains.
12 Maintenance of the cabinet
Routine maintenance:
The cabinet is equipped with a battery-operated digital thermometer with liquid crystal display inside the basin. If the
thermometer does not display the temperature because of a dead battery, replace it with a new one of the same voltage.
Always dispose of dead batteries at authorized disposal centers. (Batteries should never be disposed of with ordinary
waste).
Replacement of the battery: using a screwdriver pry up one side of the thermometer to raise it and take it out of its
housing (FIG. 17a. page 5). The battery housing is on the back of the thermometer; twist the cover counterclockwise and
remove the dead battery (FIG. 17b page 5).
Special maintenance:
Clean the condenser once a month, after removing the protective grid on the rear of the cabinet (FIG. 18 page 5). 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 grid
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:
before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains.
Caution
: Other maintenance operations, (not described herein) including replacement of lamps with lamps of the same
model, have to be commissioned to authorised centres of assistance 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.
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,
that is the refrigerating gas and lubricating oil, these should not be disposed of carelessly and can be recycled by
specialized centers.
This product contains HFC, namely fluoridated gasses, a refrigerating gas with a high Global Warming Potential
(GWP) regulated by the Kyoto protocol.
