Recommendations for storage:
-
Never exceed the max load line on the inside of each compartment (see FIG. 13 on page 4).
-
Never block the cooling outlets that guarantee the correct flow of air (see FIG. 14 on page 4).
-
When loading a GUAM unit that's already partially loaded, it's best to place the new products below those already inside (as well as
observing the above points).
-
At night, switch off the lights and use the night covers for the lower section (available on request), as these make for energy savings
as well as helping preserve the products on display.
The OSCARtielle GUAM combinations normally have electronic controls for both the deep-freezer and the upper section; the thermostat
control and gas filling devices are set in the factory. The Manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage or injury should these be
tampered with.
8 - Prohibitions and requirements
Warning: Never expose the unit to atmospheric agents. Never use direct water jets to clean the unit. Never touch or use the unit with wet
or damp feet and hands.
Warning: Never remove the protections or covers that require tools to be removed. Never, under any circumstances, remove the cover on
the electronic panel.
Warning: Never load the unit excessively. Never stand on the cabinet.
Warning: Never try to remove any ice (that may build up) with sharp metal objects.
Warning: The refrigerating circuit does not alter the chemical composition of the water resulting from defrosting. This comes
exclusively from the steam contained in the air circulating inside the unit. In any case, this water should always be disposed of down the
drain or sent to a water purification plant in line with current local regulations.
Warning: Any use of the unit not explicitly mentioned in this manual should be considered dangerous and the Manufacturer cannot be
held liable for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.
9 - Defrosting of the unit and evaporation of any condensation
The defrosting cycle is indispensable for the refrigerating display unit to work properly and is controlled by the electronic control. This
uses armoured resistances on the evaporator to stop the electric condenser temporarily and so allow for the evaporator to get rid of any
built-up ice. The number of defrosting cycles (normally 3 every 24 hours) is set in the factory for both BT and TN upper section GUAM
versions.
Regularly check the efficiency of the automatic defrosting cycle; if there are problems, call an expert technician.
The "plug-in" units have an automatic evaporation system for defrosting water. It's a good idea to check the level of the evaporating basin
in the motor compartment at least once a month (with the unit switched off).
Warning: Only authorised service personnel are allowed to adjust or modify the unit.
10 - Cleaning the unit
Warning: Unplug at the mains before cleaning.
Clean the unit on a regular basis with neutral soap and then dry with a soft cloth. Never use flammable or abrasive products. Never clean
the unit with direct jets of water. When cleaning the inside of the unit, always wear protective gloves to avoid touching the cold parts.
Warning: Only plug the unit back in after checking that all parts (extracted or otherwise) are dry. Reload the unit following the
instructions in point 7.
11 - Unit maintenance
Warning: All maintenance operations should be carried out by expert personnel.
Warning: Unplug at the mains before servicing.
Warning: Any maintenance operations not described below (including the replacement of fluorescent lights) should be carried out by
authorised service centres or authorised personnel.
Clean the condenser once a month by removing the protection grid (see FIG. 15 on page 5). Use a stiff bristle brush (not metallic) or a
vacuum cleaner to remove all traces of dust and waste that may have built up between the fins, taking care not to damage these. Always
wear gloves that protect your hands against accidental cuts. Ix back in place all protections after cleaning.
Letting the condenser run for long periods without cleaning it means higher energy consumption and lower overall performance of the
unit!
In the GUAM BT-TN versions (where the armoured defrosting resistance is an optional accessory), the evaporator in the top section
could become covered with ice after long periods of use, thus preventing the unit from working at full efficiency. The cabinet should be
cleaned every three months, following these rules:: A) unplug and empty the cabinet completely. B) wait for any ice in the evaporator fins
in the top section to melt away C) carefully clean with a soft bristle brush. Again, always wear protective gloves to avoid cutting your
hands. Before plugging the unit in again, always check that all internal parts (top and bottom sections) are completely dry.
We recommend getting the unit serviced once a year by a refrigerator expert or qualified personnel.
12 - Emergencies
Warning: If the unit stops or doesn't start:
-
Check there isn't a black-out.
-
Check the unit is plugged in properly.
-
Check the switch fitted above the plug (if any) is flipped.
If none of the above are responsible for the problem, call your nearest service centre and empty the unit (placing the products in suitable
storage cells to avoid breaking the cold chain).
