Positioning your Arctica Fridge
When positioning your Arctica fridge, please ensure you have taken into account
the following factors:
In order to conserve electricity, do not place your appliance near a source of
heat, such as a radiator. Try to avoid locations where the appliance could be
exposed to direct sunlight.
If the product is to be placed next to another unit or a wall, there should be at
least a 20cm gap. Increase this distance if the obstacle is a heat source.
This refrigerator must be placed on a hard flat surface. It is important that the 2
front feet are adjusted so that the unit stands firm and level.
The internal temperature of this appliance is affected by location, room
temperature, and frequency of opening the door. The factory settings of the
electronic control (thermostat) are set to allow for these conditions. This
appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures b16°C and
+36°C for the 200L and 400L models and +16°C and +40°C for the 700L
gastronorm fridge. Operating outside of these temperature parameters may
cause the appliance to perform out of specification.
Once in position, ensure that you lock the 2 front castors by pushing the lever
attached to the castors down so that they reach a horizontal position and click
into place.
This applies to the 700L model only.
Removing the Compressor Safety Band (on 700L model)
The compressor is located on the top of the appliance and sits on the rubber washers.
Under normal operating conditions the compressor is allowed to vibrate.
To avoid damage through excessive motion during transit, a stainless steel safety band
is placed over the compressor and screwed into the top of the appliance.
The safety band and the two screws fixing it to the appliance must be removed before
the appliance is switched on.
