Warning: Any use of the unit not explicitly mentioned in this manual should be considered dangerous and the
Manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper, careless or unreasonable use.
Warning: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (IEC60335-2-89 and changes)
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 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 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
(standard is 4 cycles every 24 hours) is set in the factory. Check periodically to make sure the cabinets are defrosted
automatically and in case of any malfunction call an expert.
ARGUS-BRIONI2-PHOENIX2 display units have an automatic evaporation system for defrosting water. It is 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 and changes)
10 - Cleaning the unit
Important: Unplug from the mains before cleaning.
Clean the unit regularly with neutral soap and dry with a soft cloth. Never use inflammable 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: Start the unit again only 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 from 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 after removing the protection grid (see FIG. 14). 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 them. Always wear gloves that protect your hands against accidental cuts. Fasten all casings in place 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 may be covered with ice after long periods of use, thus preventing the unit
from working at full efficiency. Generally, you should clean the cabinet every three months: unplug and empty completely.
Wait for any ice in the evaporator fins in the top section to melt 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 having the unit serviced once a year by a refrigerator expert or qualified
personnel.
12 - Emergencies
Warning: If the unit stops or does not start:
- Check for a possible power outage.
Check that the unit is plugged in properly.
-
- Check that the switch fitted above the plug (if any) is on.
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 does not 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 is not 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.
