SO-LOW support FAQ

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.

  • How do I change the temperature setpoint on my SO-LOW freezer?

    On most digital controllers (e.g., FDC 4000), press the 'Up' or 'Down' arrow keys to adjust the setpoint. Ensure you do not change other parameters, as this may void the warranty.

  • What should I do if the power failure alarm sounds?

    The power failure alarm indicates an interruption in electricity. If the unit is unplugged for storage or maintenance, you can disable the alarm by disconnecting the battery located in the electrical panel.

  • How often should the alarm battery be replaced?

    Rechargeable lead-acid batteries for the alarm system should typically be replaced every three years to ensure proper function during power outages.

  • What is the proper defrost procedure for SO-LOW freezers?

    Unplug the unit, open the door or lid, and allow it to air out for at least 12 hours. Wipe up excess water with a cloth. Protect the control panel from dripping water on upright units.

  • Who should I contact for replacement parts?

    For parts replacement, you can email parts@so-low.com. Please have your model number and serial number available.
