Energy Saving Advice
•
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a stove, boiler, heater, chimney, etc, and avoid
exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
•
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents of the compressor housing
cover are not obstructed. Also allow adequate spacing around the cabinet for air circulation (3in. or 7.5cm)
•
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all food and liquids in airtight packages or containers.
•
Always keep foodstuff stored in tightly sealed packaging or containers, and allow some space for air to circulate
around each item.
•
Avoid keeping the lid open for extended periods of time or opening the lid too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet and cause the compressor run unnecessarily often.
•
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid from closing properly and forming a tight seal.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Before contacting a service technician, SunDanzer or your local product dealer, check the following points.
If you call out a technician to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by misuse, abuse, or faulty installation, a
charge will be made even if the appliance is under warranty.
SYMPTOM
SOLUTION
Appliance connected
to power, but does not
operate
•
Check if 12 or 24V DC is present at the appliance. If not check all connections
and the system battery voltage.
•
Check that the polarity is correct “+” is connected to “+” and “–“ to “–“.
•
Check the fuse. If blown, replace with a new one.
•
The main common problem with installations is voltage drop to the compressor
which causes the unit to fail to start due to “Low Voltage.” Typically a
connection is not as tight as it should be, or the wire size to the compressor is too
small. The low voltage problem occurs at the instant of start-up and is
sometimes difficult to detect with a volt meter because the event is very quick
(<100 ms)
Appliance is
operating, but the
interior is not cold.
•
Allow the appliance at least 4 hrs from initial turn-on to become cold.
•
Check that the thermostat control knob is turned to the correct setting relevant to
room/ambient temperatures.
•
Check that the room/ambient temperature is not approaching the internal
operating temperature and does not exceed to 100
o
F (38°C).
•
Has too much warm foodstuff recently been placed in the cabinet? If so, it is
normal to not be cold and it will take time to return to temperature.
•
Does the cabinet have adequate ventilation around the side walls allowing it to
transfer heat properly? (See Installation Section).
The lid will not open.
•
Has the lid just been opened? If so leave for a few minutes to allow the air
pressure to equalize and try again.
Excessive frost and ice
has built up.
•
Is the weather hot and humid? If so, this will increase the rate of frost build up in
the cabinet.
•
Ensure that foodstuff is properly packaged.
•
Check that the lid is closed and has a good seal, and that nothing is preventing
the lid from closing properly.
•
Large quantities of food have recently been placed in the cabinet/and or the lid is
frequently opened.
•
Ensure that advised periodic cleaning has been carried out.
Noise
•
Refer to 'Normal Operating Sounds'
