Operation
Automatic Start-Up
After the cabinet has been positioned in a suitable place, plug it in and check
the following activity.
Loading Product
The chiller should be left running for 30 minutes before loading with product.
When loading the cabinet shelves with product:
Allow air space around all product for even cooling and efficient
operation of the chiller.
Leave an airspace of at least 15mm above product on the top shelf.
Do not allow products to overhang the front of the shelves as this could
effect airflow and prevent the doors from shutting properly.
Do not exceed a maximum loading of 20kg per shelf.
Remove some product if the shelves are flexing or bending.

Lighting
The lights which illuminate the top sign and cabinet interior will
initially come on when the machine is turned on. The lights will
require a period of time to stabilise following initial start up.
On some models the lights can be turned off via the
UP/AUX
button on the electronic controller (see next page for details).
Electronic
Controller
The electronic controller, located in the front kick panel, will
either display the internal cabinet temperature or the controller
set point. The compressor ‘ON’ icon will indicate when the
compressor is operating (see controller display on next page).
Compressor,
Evaporator Fans
and Condenser
Fan
The compressor, and evaporator and condenser fans should
all operate initially. This may be verified by listening for
compressor switch on and checking air movement out of the
slots in the front kick panel. The internal cabinet air will
continue to circulate at all times, as the evaporator fan
operates continuously.
The compressor should switch off when the cabinet internal
temperature reaches approxi2°C, and switch on
again at approxi4°C.
The condenser fan operates continuously. A fan reversing
device, reverses the condenser fan motor for a period of time
during the compressor ‘off-cycle’. This rotation change is to
assist with self-cleaning of the condenser coil.
