10 Maintenance
Monitoring tasks by operating staff:
chapter
- good condition of the unit
- foreign objects in good area
9
Damage of glass lids/ glass
elements
Damage of glass containers
9
daily
Check correct loading of
goods
Contamination of the unit
Food waste and packaging
Puddle formation in front
of/under the unit (defrost water)
Defrost water drain/ sieve
Electrostatic discharge and sparking. Sparks
can ignite the leaking refrigerant when the
refrigerant circuit is damaged/not sealed. Risk
of fire.
►To remove water and for cleaning, use a
slightly damp cloth or sponge.
►Do not use dry clothes or sponges to wipe
dry (risk of electrostatic charging and
sparking).
►Do not operate any electrical devices (e.g.
wet vacuum cleaners) within the refrigerator
compartment that are not of the type
recommended by the manufacturer. Devices
with explosion protection markings (see →
chapter 1.2) are permitted.
Cleaning
Reasons for regular and thorough cleaning (basic
cleaning):
- Assurance of the required hygiene.
►Always keep the goods interior in a clean
condition.
- Lowest possible energy consumption.
- Trouble-free operation.
- Life- time extension.
Damage to the electrical system and
refrigerant circuit by using steam and
high-pressure cleaners. Contact with
live parts may cause electric shock.
The refrigerant can escape and create
an explosive gas/air mixture. Risk of fire
due to sparks or overloading.
►For basic cleaning, do not use steam
and high-pressure cleaners (→ see
chapters 1.6.1 and 1.6.2.1).
Cutting injuries in the case of material
breakage.
Danger of falling.
►Do not climb onto or into the unit
during cleaning.
Safety in handling with glass see →chapter 1.6.3.
For cleaning use protective gloves.
