With this key the controller is switched to standby mode.
Pressing the key a second time, restarts the unit
The desired value can only be set from +10°F to -1°F
After resetting the temperature some time needs to pass before the desired temperature has been
achieved. Please check the interior temperature a few hours afterwards with an exact thermometer
and reset the thermostat if needed.
Depending on the surrounding temperature and humidity, the interior temperature is not to be set too
low as this could lead to icing on exposed areas of the cooling element. This will interfere with the
cooling performance and with the continuous defrosting which has been set by your specialized dealer
for a certain interval.
6.3. Manual defrosting
Defrosting can be started any time by pressing the UP - button for 3 seconds. During the process of
defrosting the respective LED is illuminated. The LED flashes if defrosting is requested, but may not

pressing button (3).
Load the display case with pre-chilled product from the service side. Place the Ice pans between the
adapter bars. A constant air haze is blown above the Ice pans.
The Gelato Display Case is designed to maintain the temperature of pre-chilled Gelato / Ice.
This freezing unit is not a refrigerator, and consequently, if warm product is introduced, there
could be a considerable delay before the operating temperature falls to the normal operating
level.
7.2. Loading Restrictions
• It is important to leave adequate free space for the refrigerated air to circulate above the Ice pans.
• The air louvers at the front and rear of the display case must not covered at all.
• There are different Ice pans available, figure below shows some possibilities.
The Gelato unit is open on service side, which offers you
easy access to the Ice cream and keeps even temperature
inside the freezing Display Case.
Customer side is closed with a curved glass, which can be
tilted easily for cleaning. Lighting fixture on the top for an
appetizing appearance.
A fan below the evaporator forces a constant air haze inside
the freezing well.
The hot air from the condenser unit is redirected to the
front glass, this prevent condensation on the glass.
It is important to keep all cabinet doors closed. If the doors are not fully
closed, an even temperature will not be maintained within the display case.
Following is some advice on maintenance, care, trouble shooting and service for your freezing Ice
Cream display cases. The interior and the outside of the unit have to be cleaned every day in
