11 - 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 8.
12 - Unit maintenance
Warning: All maintenance operations should be carried out by expert personnel.
Warning: Unplug at the mains before servicing.
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.
Clean the condenser once a month by removing the protection grid (see FIG. 13). 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. Fix 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!
Generally, clean the cabinet every three months: unplug and empty completely. Wait for any ice in the evaporator fins in
the top section to melt away and then 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 are completely dry.
We recommend getting the unit serviced once a year by a refrigerator expert or qualified personnel.
13 - 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).
Warning: If the unit doesn't cool the products enough:
- Check that the condenser is clean and capable of exchanging the heat; otherwise, see point 12.
- Check that the unit has been loaded properly and that the air intake isn't blocked; otherwise, see point 8.
- Check that the unit isn't close to strong air flows or heat sources (see point 4).
- Check that the unit is leveled and that the environmental conditions meet those indicated in point 4.
If the problem persists despite the above checks, contact your nearest service centre.
Warning: Never approach the motor compartment in the event of leaking gas or a fire. Unplug at the mains. Never use
water to put out any flames, but only dry powder extinguishers. All the materials used to build the unit are fire-proof or
self-extinguishing and non-flammable.
14 - Customer service
In case service is required and/or mechanical, electrical or compressor components need to be replaced, please contact
the dealer from whom you purchsed the unit and ask for 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.
The gas contained in foam polystyrene for thermal insulation of the cabinet is (CO
Oscartielle equips its plug-in cabinets with the following types of refrigerating gasses:
R 290; GWP = 3
(100)
R 134A; GWP = 1300
(100)
R 452A; GWP = 2140
(100)
R 404A; GWP = 3750
(100)
This unit is hermetically sealed and the refrigerating gas load is under 3 kg.
For this reason, it is not subject to the requisite of an installation booklet and periodic inspections for leakage of
the refrigerating gas (presidential Decree no. 147 of February 15th 2006, Art. 3 and 4).
