6. RECOMMENDATIONS
You are recommended to wait until the chamber reaches its operational temperature before•
introducing any product.
In order to obtain better performance, avoid the introduction of hot foods as well as drinks that•
are not in sealed packages.
Protectfoodsandtheirodoursbyusingsomehermeticclosingsystem,placingthemintheunit•
in such a way that allows for a good circulation of air, respecting the maximum load indicated on
the inside of the unit.
Avoid as far as possible the frequent opening of doors and above all, do not leave the doors•
open.
Avoid placing sheets of cardboard or paper on the shelves as these will obstruct the circulation of•
air.
When the unit has to be turned off for a long period of time, the following steps are recommended:
Remove the products from the inside of the unit.•
Disconnect the main switch and unplug the unit.•
Clean the inside and outside of the unit.•
Partiallyopenthedoorsothataircancirculateandinthiswayavoidfoulodours.•
7. PRECAUTIONS
The stability of the unit is guaranteed, even when the doors are open, however leaning on the•
doors is completely prohibited.
In those units equipped with metallic drawers, it is not advisable to load them with more than•
30kg weight per drawer or 25kg in plastic boxes, ensuring in all cases that the load is uniformly
distributed.Forthisreasonsittingorleaningonthedrawersisnotallowed.
Do not remove the protection from the movable components without having previously discon-•
nected the power supply.
Take necessary precautions before manipulating the condenser unit area, due to the existence•
of high temperatures of some of the components and the resultant risk of burns.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the refrigerated unit.
8. MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any cleaning operation, disconnect the unit from the power supply and place the
main switch in the OFF or 0position.
The units are equipped with a drainage outlet to make cleaning easier, as well as allowing for the
eventual seepage of liquids from the foods. During cleaning, the drainage outlet cover has to be re-
moved and cleaned in order to avoid being blocked by solid elements being pulled into it.
The good operation and performance of the unit will largely depend on its correct maintenance,
carried out periodically.
www.lec-commercial.co.uk 9
The manufacturer is exempt from all liability arising from non-compliance with the procedures con-
tained in this manual.
•GAS CONDENSER
The incorrect maintenance and lack of cleaning of the gas condenser of the refrigerated unit can
considerably reduce the performance of the unit as well as shortening the life of the compressor
motor. The cleaner the unit, especially the condenser fins, the greater the energy saving.
In any event, it is recommended that this task is carried out by a service technician. In the case of
any doubt, please contact your distributor.
The cleaning of the gas condenser must be carried out with the unit unplugged and removing the
protectors (grills) or taking out the condenser unit (depending on the model).
In order to remove the dirt deposited between the condenser fins, any of the following procedures
are recommended:
•Useatoothbrushorsoft-bristlebrush
•Blowthedirtusingasuitableappliance
•Useairpressuretoremovethedirt
We recommend that this operation is carried out at least
once every three months and at the start of every sum-
mer.
•EVAPORATORS
Only for specialist personnel
The only maintenance the evaporators require is proper cleaning. This has to be done with the
machine stopped and once the ice that may be present on the fins has melted or once defrosting
has been done by operating the controls. This process may be accelerated by using warm water,
NEVER using hard or sharp objects.
In order to clean the coil or the casing, DO NOT use chemical de-greasers with acid compounds
or bleach, chlorine, ammonia or salts as all these products aggressively attack copper and alu-
minium. Only water with well-diluted neutral detergents should be used or products especially
designed for cleaning the evaporators of refrigerated units. The cleaner the unit, the greater the
energy saving.
•AUTOMATIC EVAPORATION TRAY
Only for specialist personnel
The majority of the units are equipped with an automatic evaporation tray for the situations where
an external outlet is not available to collect the defrosted water from the evaporators. If this tray
is not included, the drainage tubes have to be connected directly to the appropriate device or a
receptacle should be positioned in order to collect the water.
The defrost water can also cause breakdowns as the piping that brings the heat necessary for the
water to evaporate can be punctured or the electrical resistance can deteriorate.
Attention should be given to this tray and regular cleaning is recommended.
•DOOR SEALS
www.lec-commercial.co.uk 10
The rubber door seals are designed to ensure the closure of the doors to the cold chambers and to
guarantee the sealing of the doors against external elements.
A magnetic strip is housed on the inside of the rubber seal, which adheres it to the frame of the
unit. Over time granular particles can become stuck in the seal due to the effect of the magnet and
these can rust and cause stains.
It is recommended that these door seals are kept free from foreign bodies that can cause rust, as well
as fatty deposits which, over a long period of time, can affect the rubber of the door seal.
Clean them with water, using neutral soap and a damp cloth.
DO NOT USE DETERGENTS OR ABRASIVE PRODUCTS.
9. OPERATIONAL TESTS
•CHECKSINTHEEVENTOPERATIONALFAILURE
In some situations, operational failure can arise due to simple causes that users themselves can
solve, which is why prior to requesting the intervention of a specialised technician, we recommend
that you carry out the following checks:
The appliance does not work
Check that it is correctly plugged in.•
Check that electricity reaches the power outlet.•
The internal temperature is too high
Check that there is no heat source nearby.•
Check that the grill is not obstructed.•
In order to check the cut-off point of the thermostat,•
press the “set” button once then release.
Check that the product loaded is perfectly distributed,without blocking the interior air ventilation•
exits and that the time elapsed since loading has been sufficient to chill the products.
Check that the doors are properly closed.•
In the event of strange or excessive noises
Check the levelling of the unit as this may cause vibrations.•
Check that there is no object rubbing against any movable element of the refrigerated unit.•
In the event that these checks have not resolved the problem, please contact the customer service
desk in your area providing the following information on the model, serial number and registration
shown on the specification plate.
•NOISETESTING
•
The noise tests were performed in a room without any noise absorption elements and without any
large item placed near to the refrigerated unit.
The noise levels registered in the acoustic tests have been carried out in accordance with the•
ISO 230 to 235 standards.
Leq (continuous level) is less than 70 dB. (A)
Lp (acoustic pressure level) is less than 130 dB. (C)
NOTE.(A)(C)Frequencyweights.
