4. Setup
4.1 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
4.2 Shelf Installation
The unit comes with 12 plastic-coated steel shelves. Install them at desired heights using the provided shelf clips. Ensure shelves are securely seated before loading products. Each shelf has a capacity of 90 lbs.
4.3 Initial Power-Up and Temperature Setting
- Plug the unit into the dedicated electrical outlet.
- The refrigerator will begin cooling. Allow several hours for the unit to reach its set temperature before loading products.
- The factory-set temperature range is typically between 0.5°C - 5°C (33°F - 41°F) or 0°C - 10°C (32°F - 50°F) depending on the specific model variant. Adjust the temperature using the digital controller as needed for your products.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Loading Products
- Do not overload shelves beyond their 90 lbs capacity.
- Ensure proper air circulation by not blocking the internal air vents.
- Distribute products evenly across shelves.
5.2 Door Usage
The unit features self-closing glass doors. Ensure doors close completely after each use to maintain internal temperature and energy efficiency.
5.3 Automatic Defrosting
This refrigerator is equipped with an automatic defrosting system. This system periodically melts away frost buildup on the evaporator coil, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. During defrost cycles, the internal temperature may temporarily rise slightly, which is normal.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your refrigerator. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
6.1 Cleaning the Interior
- Clean the interior regularly with a mild, non-abrasive detergent and warm water.
- Remove shelves and clean them separately.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry all surfaces before reloading products.
6.2 Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe down the painted steel exterior with a soft cloth and mild cleaner. For glass doors, use a glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
6.3 Door Gasket Maintenance
The unit features removable door gaskets. Regularly inspect gaskets for cracks or tears. Clean them with warm, soapy water to ensure a tight seal. Replace damaged gaskets promptly to maintain energy efficiency.
6.4 Condenser Coil Cleaning
The condenser coil should be cleaned every 30-90 days, depending on the operating environment. A dirty condenser coil reduces cooling efficiency and increases energy consumption. Use a stiff brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the coil. For commercial settings, professional cleaning is recommended.
7. Troubleshooting
