Energy saving tips:
For energy saving and ICM’s better performance:
• Load your ICM at night-time so that the drinks are cold once you get there in the morning.
• Store your back-up stock in a cool and/or dark place so that when reloaded, the ICM will need
much less time to cool them down.
• Wipe moisture off the products you place in the ICM.
• Avoid opening the door for long periods of time.
4. Care & cleaning
Prior to any cleaning (inside or outside the device) procedure, unplug the
ICM! Remove the plug and make sure that the operator can check from
any of the points which he has access to, that the cable is unplugged.
Never use a water hose or high pressure jet to clean the cooler.
It is important to clean the merchandiser twice a year. In order to avoid mould formation, odours, etc.
product compartments must also be thoroughly cleaned. The interior of the ICM should be cleaned
with a mildly soapy cloth and the glass surface using a window-cleaning agent.

and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilize natural resources
prudently and rationally, as an end user, you are kindly requested to do the following:
• If the appliance has stopped working, even after troubleshooting, first check if it can be
repaired, before disposing it. Contact your distributor or supplier for further information on
possible repairs of your appliance, if in doubt.
• If the appliance has reached its “End of Lifecycle” (EOL), in other words, the appliance is not
repairable or re-usable, do not dispose of the appliance as unsorted municipal waste. Instead,
ensure that it is collected separately from a recycling company.
Note: The disposal of electronic and electrical appliances in landfill sites or through incineration
creates a number of environmental problems. When obsolete materials are not recycled, raw materials
have to be processed for the production of new products. This represents significant loss of resources
as the energy, transport and environmental damage caused by these processes is considerable.
• To help in the recovery and recycling process of this appliance, do not dismantle or break parts
off the appliance prior to collection. By removing parts off the appliance, you can reduce its
recyclability rate.
