Warning: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer (IEC60335-2-89:2002 and changes)
Warning: 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.
Warning: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Warning: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
9 - Defrosting of the unit and evaporation of any condensation
The defrosting cycle is indispensable for the refrigerating display unit to work properly. It is controlled by a mechanical
thermostat that temporarily stops the electric condenser and allowing the evaporator to get rid of any built-up ice. The
number of defrosting cycles (normally 4 every 24 hours) is set in the factory. Regularly check the efficiency of the
automatic defrosting cycle; if there are problems, call an expert technician.
The SKY display 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.
Warning: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer (IEC60335-2-89:2002 and changes)
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: 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 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. 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!
The evaporator could become covered with ice after long periods of use, thus preventing the unit from working at full
efficiency. 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.
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 the problem persists despite the above checks, contact 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 11.
-
Check that the unit has been loaded properly and that the air intake is not blocked; otherwise, see point 7.
-
Check that the unit evaporator isn't covered with ice; otherwise, see point 11.
-
Check that the unit is not close to strong air flows or heat sources (see point 4).
-
Check that the unit is levelled 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.
