A.10 Appliance cleaning
• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet or when barefoot.
• Use a ladder with suitable protection for work on appliances with high accessibility.
• Put the appliance in safe conditions before starting any cleaning operation.
• Respect the requirements for the various routine and extraordinary maintenance operations. Non-compliance with the
instructions can create risks for personnel.
• Do not spray water or use water jets, steam cleaner or high pressure cleaner.
A.11 Cleaning the cabinet and accessories
• Pay attention to the selection and use of cleaning products in order to maintain proper appliance performance and safeness.
• Before using the appliance, clean all the internal parts and accessories with lukewarm water and neutral soap, or products that
are over 90% biodegradable (in order to reduce the emission of pollutants into the environment), then rinse and dry thoroughly,
where possible clean with dishwashing appliance.
• Do not clean the appliance with detergents containing chlorine, solvent-based cleaning products (e. g. trichloro-ethylene),
abrasive powders or agents, scouring pads or sponges that could damage the surfaces. Do not use organic solvent substances

your local NordCap GmbH & Co. KG Service Centre for further details.
A.13 Parts and accessories
Use only original accessories and/or spare parts. Failure to use original accessories and/or spare parts will invalidate the original
manufacturer warranty and may render the appliance not compliant with the safety standard.
A.14 Precautions for use and maintenance
• Risks mainly of a mechanical, thermal and electrical nature exist in the appliance. Where possible the risks have been
neutralised:
– directly, by means of adequate design solutions.
– indirectly by using guards, protection and safety devices.
• Any anomalous situations are signalled on the control panel display.
• During maintenance several risks remain, as these could not be eliminated, and must be neutralised by adopting specific
measures and precautions.
• Do not carry out any checking, cleaning, repair or maintenance operations on moving parts. Workers must be informed of this
prohibition by means of clearly visible signs.
• Make sure to periodically check correct operation of all the safety devices and the insulation of electrical cables, which must be
replaced if damaged.
In case of a significant anomaly (e.g. short circuits, wires coming out of the terminal block, motor breakdowns, worn electrical cable
sheathing, etc.) the operator for normal appliance use must:
• immediately deactivate the appliance.
Description of hazardous situation
When handling the appliance or the packing containing it, using unsuitable
lifting systems or accessories or with the unbalanced load
Inhalation of refrigerant gas. Therefore always refer to the appliance labels
The operator for normal appliance use could suddenly and deliberately
close the door/drawers (if present, depending on the appliance type).
