SINGLE FRIDGE CONTROLLER

The controller normally displays vaccine temperature. To see freezer temperature
follow these steps:

Press

-the controller says hi

Hold

-the controller gives the high temperature (eg08)

Release

-the controller says Lo

Hold

-the controller gives the low temperature (eg03)

Release

-the controller says t1

Hold

-the controller give vaccines temperature (eg06)

Release

-the controller says t2

Hold

-the controller gives freezer temperature (eg -6)

Do nothing for 10 seconds and the display reverts to vaccine temperature.

The temperature alarm has a sound warming (beep). To cancel press
