1. GENERAL DOCUMENTATION

1.1. General information

• This manual is an integral part of the pro­duct and provides all the information
necessary for ensuring correct applian­ce installation, operation and maintenan­ce.

• Read the manual carefully, and always
consult it for appliance operation. Keep
the manual in a well-known place acces­sible to all authorised operators (instal­lers, users and maintenance personnel)

The appliance complies with Directives

73/23/EEC (low-voltage), 89/336/EEC
(electromagnetic compatibility) and
machines 98/37/EC (for some models
only).

• The appliance is designed for professio­nal use and therefore must only be ope­rated by qualified personnel.

• The appliance must only be used for its
designed purpose, i.e. for preserving
food products.
The appliance must not be used for pro­ducts requiring constant temperature
control and recording, such as

- heat-sensitive chemicals,

- medicines

- blood derivatives.

• The manufacturer declines all responsibi­lity for any damage caused by incorrect
or unreasonable use, such as:

• improper use by untrained persons

• technical modifications or operations
that are not specific to the models

• use of non-original or non-specific
spare parts

• failure to follow the instructions given
in this manual

1.2 Installation

The appliance must only be installed by
specialised personnel authorised by
Tecnomac, according to the instructions
given in this manual.

If the appliance is fitted with a remote con­denser unit, the installer is responsible for
checking all connections in compliance
with the instructions given by Castelmac
for plant and appliance installation.

1.3 Transport and handling

• Loading or unloading the appliance
and/or subsystems from/onto the means
of transport can be done with a lift truck
or fork lift equipped with forks at least
half the length of the cabinet; or a crane
if the appliance is fitted with eyebolts.
Choose lifting equipment suitable for the
weight and overall dimensions of the
packed appliance/components.

• When handling the appliance/subsy­stems, take all necessary precautions to
prevent damage, complying with the
indications given on the packing (fig. 1)

1.4 Unpacking

• Remove all packing in cardboard, wood
or boxes from the wood base on which
they are placed. Lift the
appliance/subassemblies with suitable
means (e.g. lift truck), remove the wood
base, then position the appliance/subas­semblies in the required place.

• After removing the packing, check the
integrity of the appliance.

• Remove the protective PVC film on the
panels, from all internal and external

2.1 Data plate information

• Check that the data specified on the
plate correspond to the characteristics of

the power supply (V,
kW, Hz, no. phases
and power available)

• The data plate
with appliance specifi-

cations is located at the
rear exterior of the machine and/or on the
electrical control boxes. Any preparation
of individual appliances for the positioning
of condensing units must comply with the
current fire-prevention regulations in the
country of installation (see the local fire
department for the necessary details).
Bear in mind that any intervention of safe­ty valves or fuse plugs in the refrigerating
circuit will lead to the immediate dis­charge of refrigerant into the environment.

2.2 Positioning

• The appliance must be installed and
commissioned in full compliance with
safety regulations, procedures and cur­rent laws

• The installer must ensure compliance
with any fire-prevention provisions (see
the local fire department for the neces­sary details).

• Position the appliance in the allocated
site

• Adjust the feet until the appliance is per­fectly level. For levelling heavy applian­ces, use appropriate lifting means

THESE OPERATIONS MUST BE ONLY

PERFORMED BY A

LICENSED INSTALLER

surfaces (fig. 2)

•

Always wear protective gloves when

handling packing material and the
wood base.

• NB: Dispose of packing materials in com­pliance with current regulations in the
country where the appliance is installed.
Do not disperse materials in the environ­ment.

1.5 General safety regulations

The user is fully responsible in case of any
operations carried out on the appliance
and not in compliance with the instructions
given in this manual. The main safety reg­ulations are as follows:

-

do not touch the appliance with moist

or wet hands or feet - do not operate
on the appliance when barefoot;

- do not insert screwdrivers, kitchen
utensils or any other object between
the guards and moving parts

- before performing cleaning or routine
maintenance operations, disconnect
the machine from the power supply by
operating the main switch, also
disconnecting the main knife switch
(if present)

- do not pull the power cable to discon­nect the appliance from the power
supply

(fig. 1)

• If the appliances are not perfectly level,
their correct operation and condensate
run-off may be compromised.

AVOID

• direct exposure to sunlight

• closed sites with high temperatures and
poor air circulation

• Do not install the appliance near any heat
sources (fig. 4).

2.3 Ambient temperature and
air circulation

For air-cooled refrigerating units, the
maximum ambient temperature for ope­ration is 32°C. Correct operation cannot
be guaranteed at higher temperatures.
The appliance can operate safely up to
38°C.
Remote condensing units must be instal­led in special rooms or outdoors, in a
place protected against direct sunlight; if
necessary the installer must evaluate the
use of a covering or roof structure (the
costs are borne by the purchaser).
In any case, sufficient air interchange
must be guaranteed.

2.4 Electrical connections

A differential thermal-magnetic circuit
breaker complete with disconnecting
switch must be installed ahead of every
appliance, in accordance with current
regulations in the country of installation.

• Electrical connection cables must com­ply with the characteristics given in the
technical data (see appliance wiring dia­grams, the installer’s responsibility)

The earth wire must be correctly connec­ted to an efficient earthing system.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL
LIABILITY AND WARRANTY OBLIGA­TIONS IN THE EVENT OF INJURY TO
PERSONS OR DAMAGE TO EQUIP­MENT AND THINGS, DUE TO INCOR­RECT INSTALLATION AND/OR FAILU­RE TO COMPLY WITH CURRENT
LAWS.

2.5 Connection of refrigerator-remote
units

Appliance feed lines are sized for instal­lation distances of up to 10 metres. For
greater distances, contact Castelmac.

2.6 Condensate drainage connection

For all models, fit a condensate/wash
water drainage hose with a minimum dia­meter of 1” (“geberit” type or similar).

2.7 Information for the installer

Before starting up the machine, check
that it has been correctly installed and
commissioned (test report)

1. Make sure there are no gas leaks from
welds or joints made during the installa­tion phase.

2. Check that the pipes connecting the con­denser to the remote condensing unit
have been well insulated.
