HOW TO USE
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
For the display cooler, the interior temperature will be kept at 0-10°C at a thermostat temperature setting of 4-5. If the ambient temperature is extremely high or there are a lot of content inside the cooler, then the temperature may rise. Therefore, the thermostat setting would need to be increased. If the ambient temperature is very low or there is very little content in the cooler, then the thermostat setting can be reduced to prevent the internal temperature going below 0°C. Very low temperatures inside the cooler may cause the evaporator to ice up.
DRAIN TRAY

• Defrosting is performed automatically and drain water is collected in the drain tray.
• Water in the drain tray is evaporated automatically. In humid environments, there will be a large amount of water in the drain tray, so please throw away drain water once a day.

EFFICIENT USE

• To prevent cold air from escaping, open and close the door quickly and keep the door opened for as short a time as possible.
• Please install the unit in a place which is well-ventilated.

SHELF HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

• The shelf height can be adjusted.
• Arrange the shelves in accordance with the dimensions of the items to be placed in the cooler.

PLACING ITEMS IN THE SHOWCASE
This showcase employs a forced circulation of cold air system. If the circulation of cold air is obstructed, the items will not be adequately refrigerated. Pay attention to the following points:

• Do not let items obstruct the cold air inlet and suction outlet.
• Place items so that they do not protrude from the shelves. The gap between the shelves and the door is used for the circulation of cold air.
• Place items evenly on all shelves.
• Commercial refrigeration display cooler.
• This equipment is intended for the storage and display of non-potentially hazardous bottled or canned products only.
