Product Usage and Servicing
This is a brief guide to good product usage and also provides a check list in the event of any problems arising with your unit. Please read prior to installing your product and also before submitting a service call.
IMPORTANT: UNITS MUST BE CLEANED ON A REGULAR BASIS TO ENSURE THEY RUN EFFICIENTLY. CLEANING OF BLOCKED CONDENSERS AND DRAINAGE POINTS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND IS THEREFORE CHARGEABLE. ANY FAULT THAT ARISES FROM DIRTY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS A BLOCKED CONDENSER WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.
- Check the electrical supply to the unit. Check the plug fuse and socket. Ensure that the power supply to the unit is correct and is not overloaded.
- Ensure the cabinet is positioned level. This is important to allow defrost water to drain away.
- For glasswashers and dishwashers make sure gravity drains allow water to drain away easily. Remove drainage pipes and inspect the drainage point in the unit for broken glass or food that may have become lodged preventing drainage.
- Do not place a refrigerated cabinet close to a heat source such as radiators or heated cooking appliances as this will effect the efficient running of the cabinet.
- Check the site ambient temperature is not exceeding what is required for the equipment. Keep temperatures as low as possible. Temperatures above what is recommended for a certain cabinet will cause internal cabinet temperatures to rise.
- Do not position units in direct sunlight especially display refrigeration as this will have an adverse effect on the temperature inside the cabinet and will cause food to spoil.
- Do not place cabinets in cross draughts. This can be from open doors or windows, fans or from an air conditioning system.
- Make sure the site is well ventilated. All cabinets produce hot air that needs to escape. Ensure any site has sufficient ventilation at all times especially at night if doors are closed.
- Ensure that there is good airflow all round the cabinet. All cabinets rely on good cool airflow for efficient operation. Especially near any vents. Minimum distances are available if required. Do not block cabinets in against walls or other cabinets as this will cause overheating. Prolonged overheating will cause the cabinet to fail.
- All refrigerated cabinets are designed to take pre-chilled produce. Trying to chill warm or even ambient foods will have an adverse effect on any existing products in the cabinet and also the refrigeration equipment.
- Serve over counters and prep tops are designed to hold and display foods during the day. Any food should be removed to storage cabinets or coldrooms overnight.
- Ensure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. Do not set the controller at too low a temperature. Not only will this increase running costs but can also cause the cabinets to ice up. Icing will cause temperatures to actually rise. If this happens, switch the machine off and defrost overnight. Switch back on and set the temperature higher.
- Regular cleaning of the cabinet condenser is essential to prevent damage to the unit. This should be performed with a soft brush or vacuum nozzle and once the unit has been powered down, a minimum of every month. For cabinets sited in busy environments such as foyers, busy retail areas or kitchens, it is recommended that cleaning be more frequent. Regular cleaning will reduce running costs and increase the life of the equipment.
The information here is for general correct usage. Take time to consult the cabinet user manual for more specific information. Please refer to both before submitting a service call.
ANY faults caused by incorrect usage or cabinet situation are not covered by the warranty and will be chargeable.
