Safety:
The chiller is designed for indoor use only
. Never place the chiller in a location where excessive heat,
moisture, inadequate ventilation, or corrosive materials are present.
Connect the chiller to a properly grounded outlet.
Refrigerants used are heavier than air and will replace the oxygen causing loss of consciousness. Contact
with leaking refrigerant will cause skin burns. Refer to the chiller
’s nameplate and the manufacturer
’s most
current MSDS for additional information.
Move the chiller with care. Sudden jolts or drops can damage its components.
Always turn the equipment of
f
and disconnect it from its supply voltage before moving it.

If equipped, place the optional GFCI breaker located
on the rear to the up position. For
ThermoFlex900 through
10000 chillers, place the circuit protector to the on ( I ) position.
The controller display will indicate a series of scrolling bars
(
).
The bars will scroll upward indicating the chiller
is initializing, this takes approximately 15 seconds. For other
chillers the bars appear when power is supplied to the chiller
.

Refer to the name plate on the rear of the chiller and verify the appropriate
voltage. For chillers supplied with a line cord, insert female end of line cord into
chiller and then insert male end of line cord into power outlet. (The line cord is
located under the shipping crate’
s lid. Do not discard
the lid until the cord is located.)
Never operate the chiller with a damaged line cord.
