Defrosting; 7.6 Cleaning And Maintenance - Vitrifrigo SCP Installation Use And Assistance Manual

7.5

Defrosting

EN
If the refrigerator is left to operate for very long periods of time, it is possible for ice to form on its inside
walls.
If the ice becomes considerably thick, it is advisable to defrost the refrigerator in order to continue to
guarantee good appliance efficiency and avoid higher electricity consumption.
To defrost the appliance, switch it off, holding the button of the thermostat for at least 3 seconds; we
recommend leaving the refrigerator door open to speed up this operation.
Never use tools or utensils of any type to remove ice as this could damage the evaporator, which is in
contact with the inside walls of the refrigerator.
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for damage to the appliance caused by failure to abide by
this recommendation.
NOTE: During defrosting operation, do not leave the milk container inside the refrigerator.
At the end of the defrosting operation, after cleaning and thoroughly drying the insides of the
refrigerator, switch it on holding button of the thermostat for at least 3 seconds.

7.6 Cleaning and maintenance

Under the current regulations regarding health and safety, the operator is responsible for the hygiene of
food contact materials and must maintain and clean the unit, preventing the bacteria formation.
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance operation on the refrigerator, be sure to disconnect it
from the power supply.
It's good practice use sanitizing products for cleaning surfaces not directly in contact with food.
The outside of the refrigerator (painted steel and/or painted plastic) can be washed first with warm water
and then rinsed in cold water and dried with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
To clean the inside of the refrigerator, after removing any containers of milk or similar liquids for human
consumption, wipe with warm water and if necessary, a little vinegar to remove any grease. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive products, detergents or soap.
It is also advisable to make sure that the air-cooled condenser of the refrigerating unit at the back of the
appliance is clean. If it is particularly clogged with dust, this should be removed using a vacuum cleaner.
In case of a prolonged period of disuse, we advise you to disconnect the refrigerator from the power
supply, empty it completely, clean it and leave the door slightly open to prevent the formation of mould
and/or unpleasant odours.
