Oscartielle VEGA 109 Instruction Manual page 28

- Never let a product drip, ooze or drain onto another.
9 - Prohibitions and regulations
Caution: The maximum admissible load uniformly distributed on the top shelf is 5 kg/m.
Caution: disconnect the cabinet from the power supply in case it is not used. The power supply has to be disconnected
by the remote-control switch fitted upstream from the power socket.
Caution: do not expose the cabinet to atmospheric agents, never use jets of water to clean it, do not touch and use the
cabinet with wet or damp feet or hands.
Caution: do not remove guards or covers that require tools to remove them, never remove the cover on the power panel.
Caution: do not place heavy loads on the shelves and in the cabinet, and never climb on the counter top.
Caution: the refrigerating system does not chemically alter the defrost water produced by the cabinet in any way. This
water is condensed steam from the air that circulates inside the cabinet. In any case, the water produced by the systems
should always be drained into the sewer system or treatment plant in accordance with the laws in force.
Caution: any possible use not explicitly indicated in this manual is to be considered hazardous and the manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by improper, erroneous and unreasonable use of the cabinet.
Caution: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (IEC60335-2-89 and changes)
Caution: 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 and changes)
Caution: 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.
Caution: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Caution: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
10 - Defrosting cabinet and evaporation of condensation
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 is set
in the factory. Standard setup is 4 x 40 minute cycles every 24 hours for off-cycle defrosting and 4 x 25 minute cycles
every 24 hours for electric defrosting. Check periodically to make sure the cabinets are defrosted automatically and in
case of any malfunction call an expert.
Plug-in cabinets are equipped with an automatic evaporation system which eliminates the defrost water. At least once a
month check the level in the evaporator tray close to the motor compartment (this should be done with the cabinet off).
For cabinets with remote unit it is necessary to make a water outlet in the ground with pipe diameter 40 mm.
Caution: any adjustments or alterations should only be made by the service personnel.
Caution: 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 and changes).
11 - Cleaning the cabinet
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.
Caution: before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains.
12 – Maintenance of the cabinet
Routine maintenance:
The cabinet is equipped with a battery-operated digital thermometer with liquid crystal display inside the basin. If the
thermometer does not display the temperature because of a dead battery, replace it with a new one of the same voltage.
Always dispose of dead batteries at authorized disposal centers. (Batteries should never be disposed of with ordinary
waste)
Replacement of the battery: using a screwdriver pry up one side of the thermometer to raise it and take it out of its
housing (FIG. 15a. page 5). The battery housing is on the back of the thermometer; twist the cover counterclockwise and
remove the dead battery (FIG. 15b page 5).
Special maintenance:
Caution: before cleaning the cabinet unplug it from the power mains.
For cabinets with internal unit, clean the condenser once a month, after removing the protective grid on the rear of the
cabinet (FIG. 16 page 5). Use a brush with stiff bristles (not metal) or a vacuum device, which is even better, to eliminate
any deposits of dust between the fins. When you clean the condenser wear gloves to protect the hands from possible
cuts. After cleaning, replace the grid previously removed. Leaving the condenser dirty for long periods leads to higher
energy consumption and poor performance of the cabinet.
We recommend having a refrigerator expert check the cabinet completely once a year.
Ice may form on the evaporator after long periods of use preventing proper operation. Every three months, clean the
cabinet thoroughly: unplug it and empty it completely. Wait for the ice on the fins of the evaporator to dissolve completely
and clean all parts of the cabinet as described in Par. 11 (before switching it back on, make sure it is completely dry).
