5.5 cu.ft. Undercounter Refrigerator
Operation | 11
Set Point Temperature
When you first turn on the unit, the fan will run and the
refrigerator will work to reach the default set point
temperature. Once set point is reached, the fan speed will
reduce to conserve energy. The unit will reach air temperature
setting rapidly. Reaching Glycol set point temperature will
take longer.
When the unit is first plugged in and powered, the
temperature range alarms are not enabled until the unit
reaches its preset temperature set point plus an offset of 3°C.
If the set point temperature is 4°C, then the alarms are
enabled when the unit reaches 7°C.
Loading Products for the
First Time
After you power on your refrigerator, monitor the temperature
display on the control panel and do not load until the default
set point is reached. There are three temperature monitors
inside the refrigerator, the glycol sensor and two air sensors.
When you load the refrigerator, always remember to provide
some clearance around the air and glycol sensors and make
sure the glycol sensor remains properly connected.
When loading products previously stored at room
temperature, monitor the temperature display to prevent a
compromise. We suggest you load room temperature
samples in small increments to help maintain a stable
temperature.
Tips for Managing Door
Openings
When a refrigerator door is opened, warmer ambient air
enters and causes the interior temperature to fluctuate. To
limit this effect, there are a few simple steps you can follow to
reduce the number of times the door is opened as well as the
duration it is left opened:
•
List a detailed inventory of the refrigerator’s contents on a
chart posted outside the unit to reduce the time spent
searching for items when the door is opened.
•
Use clearly labeled bins to organize and quickly identify
contents.
•
Avoid storing beverages or any non-sample items (like
food) in any unit used for sensitive inventory. Not only is
this a health hazard, it also leads to more frequent
opening of the door.
Note:
Premier Plus compact refrigerators have a visible and
an audible open door alarm that sounds when a door has
been open for more than 1 minute.
Automatic Defrost Cycles
The Premier Plus refrigerator will run a preprogrammed
automatic defrost cycle every 24 hours. During the defrost
cycle you will likely hear the fan turning off and on. In addition
to the automatic defrost cycles, you can initiate a manual
defrost cycle through the Settings menu.
Don’t load product until the preprogrammed set
point is reached.
Always provide adequate clearance around both
the air and glycol sensors.
