Manual

Operating instructions

Commercial Freezer/Cooler.

In order to get the max. advantage from your

freezer/cooler it is important that it is placed in the

correct position. This manual should therefore be

read carefully. Keep the manual in a place where

it can always be found for reference. Even with

careful attention to the freezer, a mishap may

occur, with the consequence that the contents of

the cabinet could be lost, therefore a product

insurance is recommended.

Placing the freezer/cooler.

The freezer/cooler should not be placed where it

might be splashed with water, in extreme high

humidity or in direct sunlight. Any of these factors

may lead to a reduction in performance and

shorten the life span of the components. The

freezer/ cooler should be placed on a horizontal

level, and should not be placed close to a heating

appliance or heating tubes.

Allow a minimum of 50mm (2”) clearance on the

side and the back. The side with the ventilation

grill should have a clearance of at least 100 mm

(4”) in order to allow the heat from the compressor

motor to dissipate.

Electrical supply.

The electrical supply should always be in

accordance with the rating plate on the back of

the freezer.

The supply must always be in accordance with the

law and regulations regarding electrical safety, if

any doubts contact your supplier.

Starting Up.

In case the compressor does not start when the

freezer/cooler has been plugged in, the electrical

supply may not be in order. Check if there is an

electricity supply to the plug or if the fuse is blown.

Temperature adjustment.

The thermostat controls the temperature inside

the cabinet. The control is placed in the

compressor compartment. The higher the number

on the dial the lower the temperature. On some

models the inside temperature will be displayed

on the outside thermometer. A to low temperature

inside the cabinet will increase the power

consumption. Please check that the temperature

is not to low is at an adequate level. When the

freezer is loaded with products, please make sure

that they have a temperature of at least –20 C

As the appliance is not suitable for freezing

products, but meant as a storage unit for pre

frozen products. If products warmer than –15 C

are placed in the freezer, there are a risk of

damaging products already in the freezer. The

inside temperature for a cooler should normally be

adjusted to +4 C . The products should never be

placed above the load line marking inside the

cabinet.

Before use.

Before use the interior of the freezer should be

cleaned with tepid water and dried of with a clean

cloth. Never use soda or an abrasive cleaning

agent as they may damage the inner liner.

Operating the freezer.

The empty freezer should be switched on for at

least 5-6 hours prior to loading of the freezer.

The freezer should not be loaded above the inside

aluminium walls which is also the load line limit.
