Important

1. Keep this manual for the lifespan of model.
2. Read technical manual carefully before installation and prior to any inter-
vention on model.
3. Use model exclusively for the purpose for which it has been designed; mis-
use exempts manufacturer from any responsibility.
4. Any operation other than that indicated in this manual must be previously
agreed with the manufacturer. Non-compliance will void the warranty.
5. This manual reflects the state of the art at the time of marketing of the prod-
uct and therefore cannot be regarded as inappropriate in the case that evo-
lution of the design and construction methods require updating of the data
expressed.
6. It is the responsibility of the installer/designer of the system to comply with
the current regulations and legislation and to assess its safety before putting
it into service.
7. All of the operations described in this manual must be performed by autho-
rised and qualified personnel, with the training and skills required by the
EN 378 standard. No operation can be carried out by people under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or medicine that may affect the promptness of
their reflexes. Jobs are allowed only if an order has been given.
8. The design, construction and operation of the refrigeration system where
the unit will be installed must comply with the requirements and criteria in-
dicated in the EN 378 standard.
9. The safety requirements for the use of coolants belonging to groups A1
and A2L must comply with the provisions of the EN 378 standard and of
the safety data sheets of each fluid used.
10. Prepare and plan measures in the event of an emergency on the system;
for example, install a fault warning system to prevent damage to people
and property.

Inspection - Transport

1. Upon delivery immediately examine condition of model; should damages
be detected promptly notify forwarder.
2. During transport of model it is necessary to avoid pressure on packaging
and it must be kept in upright position as indicated on package.
3. Unpack model as close as possible to installation site. When packaging is
removed from model, care must be exercised in order to avoid damage to
parts.
4. In order to avoid injury from the model's sharp edges (e.g. fins) during in-
stallation and positioning of model use of special protective gloves is rec-
ommended.

For a proper installation

1. Verify structural bearing of ceiling in relation to the weight of the unit.
2. Verify that the unit is installed horizontally.
3. Ensure an adequate free space (approx. 30% of the inner room volume) to
allow a proper intake and exhaust air circulation.
Particular conditions of installation or operation such as low or beamed
rooms, overstorage, obstructed intake and exhaust air circulation and
improper ice build-up due to excessive entry of humidity in room may
negatively affect the stated performance and may cause defects.
Standard models may not be suitable for blast freezer and chill room ap-
plication.
Caution
Before carrying out maintenance on unit, make sure that the electric feed is disconnected from main power source: the electric parts may be connected to
an automatic control system.

4. The models are equipped with axial fan motors, therefore not suitable for
duct ventilation systems and cannot sustain extra static air pressure drops.
5. Verify that the operating conditions (temperatures and pressures) are in ac-
cordance to those of project.
6. Care must be exercised during the connecting phase in order to avoid pos-
sible distortion of the capillary tubes and shifting of the distributor.
7. In the case of more than one model installed at close range it is advisable
to avoid alternate defrostings.
8. Fit the appropriate siphons on the condensate drain connections and
assess their efficiency in all working temperatures.
9. Avoid installation of the units next to the cold-room doors.
10. Place the end of defrost temperature feeler in the coldest areas of the coil,
i.e. the areas that tend to freeze more (at the end of the cycle the unit should
be completely ice-free).
The position of this device cannot be defined in advance, because it varies
in accordance to the type cold room and type of installation.
11. Verify that the electrical feed network is in accordance to the electrical fea-
tures of model.
12. Ensure that all the electric wiring is in compliance with the standards in
force.
13. The protective film is to be removed from model upon completion of instal-
lation.
14. Access to model, for any type of intervention, is reserved to qualified per-
sonnel as per regulations in force.

General Maintenance

1. Periodically inspect fastenings, electrical connections and connections to
cooling installation.
2. It is necessary to arrange periodical cleaning of unit in order to avoid
deposits of toxic substances. Use of mild detergent is recommended; avoid
use of solvents, aggressive, abrasive or ammonia-based agents.
3. When replacing electric heaters take particular care during installation in order
to avoid damage to the vulcanization; correctly reset wiring and existing fas-
tening systems to avoid possible movement during operation.
The above-mentioned operations are to be carried out by qualified per-
sonnel only.

Hazards / Risks

1. Electric shock. The model is equipped with fan motors and, as
an optional, electric defrost heaters. It is important to use elec-
trical safety systems that are in compliance to the regulations
in force.
2. Burns. The surface of the electric defrost heaters can reach
the temperature of 350 ° C.
3. Cuts. The heat exchanger is made with fins with sharp edges
and the casing is made of sheet metal parts.
4. Parts in motion. The model is equipped with fan motors fitted
with external protection.
5. Crushing. The weight of unit may exceed 15 kg.
