Oscartielle PLANET 2 Instrucciones De Uso página 16

Warning: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Warning: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Warning: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
9 – Defrosting of the unit and evaporation of the condensation water
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 (this
operation can be simplified by introducing armored heating elements that help the ice on the evaporator to melt when the
defrost cycle is on. These heating elements are optional and are supplied on request. The number of defrost cycles
(standard is 3 cycles every 24 hours) is set in the factory.
The operation of the automatic defrosting cycle has to be checked periodically and, in the event of faulty operation, call a
qualified technician.
The plug-in islands are fitted with an automatic evaporation system of the water, it is good practice to check the level of
the water in the evaporating tray located near the motor compartment at least once a month (this operation must be
carried-out with the cabinet switched-off).
Warning: Any adjustments or alterations must be realised by technical assistance staff only.
Warning: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer (IEC60335-2-89:2002 and changes)
10 - 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. When cleaning the inside of the unit, wear protective gloves to prevent the skin from being into direct
contact with the cold parts.
Warning: Turn the unit on again only when it has been ascertained that all the parts are dry (those that have been
removed and those that have not). Reload the unit following the instructions given in Paragraph 7.
Warning: clean the unit with mild detergent only.
11 – Maintenance of the cabinet
Warning: All the operations described in this paragraph must be performed by qualified staff.
Warning: Before proceeding with the maintenance operations, cut off the electric power supply.
Warning: 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.
The condenser must be cleaned every month by removing the protective grid (Page 4, Fig. 12). Use a hard bristle brush
(not metal) or better a vacuum cleaner, remove any dust or residue that may have built up between the flaps, taking care
not to damage them. When cleaning the condenser, use gloves to prevent hands cutting. When completed the cleaning
operations, replace the protective grating previously removed. The condenser left dirty for long periods of time, leads to
increased energy consumption and a poor performance of the unit.
The evaporator could become covered with ice after long periods of use, thus preventing the unit from working at full
efficiency. A general cleaning operation must be performed on the island at least every three months, therefore the power
supply should be cut off and the unit should be completely emptied. Wait until the ice formed on the flaps has melted
completely, then clean the evaporator using a soft bristle brush. Gloves must be worn to protect the hands from being cut.
(Before starting-up the unit, check that the internal parts inside the basin are completely dry). The manufacturer
recommends that a general control is carried out once a year by a refrigerator technician or by an expert.
12 - 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.
- Make sure the cabinet is correctly loaded and that the air vents are unobstructed. If not read Par. 7.
- Make sure the evaporator is not covered with ice. If not read Par. 11.
- 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.
