Note:
• When the operation is started in high ambient temperature, the filter check lamp is sometimes flashed.
In this case, the lamp is off automatically when the chamber temperature is getting lower.
• The freezer resumes the operation after power failure with the temperature setting before power failure
as the chamber temperature setting and alarm temperature setting are memorized in the nonvolatile
memory.
• The battery for power failure alarm is an article for consumption. It is recommended that the battery will
be replaced about every three years. Contact our sales representative or agent at the time of
replacement of the battery.
• Fan motors are expendable supplies. Replace them for about every six years. Contact our sales
representative or agent at the time of replacement of the fan motors.
• The chamber temperature is displayed for five seconds by pressing buzzer stop key (BUZZER) during
power failure alarm. Then the buzzer is silenced. The alarm lamp keeps flashing.
