6 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

Basic safety regulations


We summarise the elementary safety regulations to ensure that the user or maintenance technician
can perform the work in conditions of total safety:
− do not touch the unit with wet hands and/or feet;
− do not use the appliance with bare feet;
− do not insert screwdrivers or other pointed objects between guards or moving parts of the
appliance;
− do not pull the power cord to disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains;
− before performing any cleaning or maintenance on the appliance disconnect it from the electrical
mains by switching off the main switch and extracting the plug.

Prohibited: removal of guards and safety devices


It is strictly forbidden to remove guards or safety devices when performing routine maintenance work.
The manufacturer disclaims all liability that may arise if this regulation is not observed.

Emergency measures in case of fire

- Disconnect the unit from the electrical power socket.


- Do not use water to extinguish the fire.
- Use powder or foam extinguishers.

5.1 CLEANING OF REFRIGERATOR


The unit is designed to preserve medical/laboratory products so it is important to keep it clean for
reasons of hygiene and health. The appliance is thoroughly cleaned in our factory before delivery.
We recommend, however, that you clean the interior of the appliance before use. Before cleaning
the appliance make sure the power cord is disconnected.

5.2 CLEANING THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE APPLIANCE


To this end, we indicate cleaning products to be used for exterior and interior of the appliance:
- Water and neutral detergent only and not abrasive. Do not use solvent or thinners
- Cleaning methods: use soft clean cloth with suitable products for both external and internal
surfaces
- Disinfection: Avoid substances that can alter the organoleptic characteristics of products.
- Rinsing: use a cloth or sponge soaked with fresh clean water. Do not use water jets
- Frequency: once a week or at different intervals in accordance with the type of product stored.

5.3 CLEANING OF CONDENSER


The condenser is a heat exchanger hence if it is dirty or clogged the air cannot pass freely into the
same, it cannot do its job properly and the efficiency of the refrigeration system falls down
proportionally. FOR THOSE REASONS IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP CLEAN THE
CONDENSER WHERE TYPICALLY IT MEANS TO CLEAN IT MONTHLY.

Cleaning of condenser has to be carried out by internal structure staff, when not specifically
requested at the negotiation stage.

WARNING!!
always switch off the unit and disconnect power cord before cleaning, it is
dangerous to do it with power: fan may start suddenly at any time!
