Loading Products for the First Time
After you power on your refrigerator, monitor the temperature display on the control panel
and do not load until the default set point of 4 °C (39 °F) is reached. There are two
temperature monitors inside the refrigerator, the glycol sensor and the air sensor. When you
load the refrigerator, remember to provide some clearance around the air and glycol sensors
and make sure the glycol sensor remains properly connected.
When loading products previously stored at room temperature, monitor the temperature
display to prevent a compromise. We suggest you load room temperature samples in small
increments to help maintain a stable temperature.
Don’t load product until the preprogrammed set point is reached.
Always provide adequate clearance around both the air and glycol sensors.
Tips for Managing Door Openings
When a refrigerator door is opened, warmer ambient air enters and causes the interior
temperature to rise. To limit this effect, there are a few simple steps you can follow to reduce
the number of times the door is opened as well as the duration it is left opened:
•
List a detailed inventory of the refrigerator’s contents on a chart posted outside the
unit to reduce the time spent searching for items when the door is opened.
•
Use clearly labeled bins to organize and quickly identify contents.
•
Avoid storing beverages or any non-sample items (like food) in any unit used for
sensitive inventory. Not only is this a health hazard, it also leads to more frequent
opening of the door.
The Evolve SilverCore cooling system allows for denser packing of your unit
as we have eliminated internal fans that circulate cold air. Evolve compact
refrigerators have a visible and an audible open door alarm that sounds
when a door has been open for more than 1 minute.
Automatic Defrost Cycles
The Evolve refrigerator will run a pre-programmed automatic defrost cycle every 12 hours.
During the defrost cycle you will likely hear the fan turning off and on. In addition to the
automatic defrost cycles, you can initiate a manual defrost cycle through the “Tools” menu.
