Gastrodomus GA700CTN Bedienungsanleitung Seite 19

In order to avoid damage to the compressor and cooling system, never tilt the appliance
more than 45° during transport and positioning.
After transport or handling, wait at least 4 hours after the appliance has been positioned
before switching it on. This will allow the compressor oil to level and prevent it from entering
the cooling circuit, causing irreversible damage to the compressor and the evaporator.
- Never place the appliance on a flammable surface (e.g. carpet, rugs, tablecloths, etc.);
- Do not position the appliance near open flames, electric cookers, ovens or other sources of heat,
such as, for example, places exposed to direct sunlight. Heat can damage the surface of the appliance and
adversely affect its operation;
- Position the appliance so that the sides and rear are always at least 5 cm from walls, furniture and
other objects, and the top has at least 30 cm of clearance. This is to ensure good air circulation and easier
access to all parts of the appliance as well as to provide the necessary space for its operation;
- The appliance must not be built into furniture or masonry walls;
- Do no drill holes into the appliance or attach objects to it;
- The appliance must not be used if it is out of order, damaged or has suffered impacts;
- To avoid hazardous situations for the user do not use accessories or spare parts, which differ from
those recommended by the manufacturer. The appliance could be damaged or prove to be a risk for the health
and life of individuals.
5.3 Use
- Clean the appliance before its first use (see Section 6 - Cleaning and servicing);
- Insert the plug into an individually interlocked protected electric socket in compliance with the
regulations;
- Only put food products inside the appliance after it has reached the operating temperature set on the
control unit (see Section 5.4 - Operation);
- Food products must only be placed inside the appliance after they have been previously refrigerated
and have reached the storage temperature;
- Food products should only be placed inside the appliance if they are packaged or closed in suitable
food-grade containers.
Each support rack has a maximum capacity of 25 kg; the appliance must not exceed a total
load of 125 kg for all GA700 models, and 200 kg for all GA1400 models.
5.4 Operation
The appliance is operated by means of the main "I/0" power switch and the digital control unit which is used to
set the desired operating temperature.
See Section 8 for more details about the control panel.
The user may carry out the following operations:
Switch on/off (see Pic.1 and Pic.3 - Section 8)
Press the ON/OFF switch: the current temperature inside the refrigerator will appear on the display. After about
3 minutes, the compressor on LED (LED n.2) and, in BT models, the internal fan on LED (LED n.3) will turn
on. In the case of a power failure, the compressor will restart approximately 3 minutes after the power supply
has been restored in order to avoid damaging the appliance by switching it on and off multiple times.
The internal light automatically turns on when the door is opened and turns off when it is closed, except the
TNG and BTG models which have a manual lighting on/off button.
To shut off the appliance, press the I/0 on/off button on the control panel and then disconnect the plug from the
electrical socket. Wait at least 10 seconds after disconnecting the plug before connecting the appliance to the
power supply line again.
