4. INSTALLATION
Locating the Cabinet
Ensure the following instructions are observed as this is vital for proper and trouble-free operation.
- Do not install the cabinet outdoors.
- Locate the appliance in a dry and well ventilated place.
- The unit must be positioned on a level surface.
- Do not install in the vicinity of heating radiators or other heat sources.
- Do not install the appliance where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
- Do not install the appliance where it is exposed to warm draughts or open doors.
- Keep the air intake and outlets free of obstructions.
- Adequate allowance should be made for door openings.

Ventilation
- Allow 150mm clearance between walls and the appliance.
- Ensure that the condenser fan is free to take in ambient air from the room.
- Adherence to minimum clearances is necessary.
NOTE: The maximum ambient temperature for the refrigerator is 30°C. Conditions outside this temperature will result in cabinet temperatures outside the required 2 to 8°C range. Bromic recommends that the refrigerator is installed at an ambient temperature of 20 to 25°C.
Power Supply
- The appliance must not be plugged into a multiple outlet power board.
- The appliance is supplied with a flexible power cord fitted with a 3-pin plug.
- The socket used must be properly earthed and fuse/RCD protected.
- See the rating label inside the cabinet for supply voltage, frequency and current draw.
- Power cable is rated 70°C. It is recommended that the cable should not come into contact with parts over 50°C.
- Do not turn off power before consulting the person responsible.
- Mark the power source clearly, so the refrigerator is not unplugged or turned off accidentally.

Before Operating
- If the appliance has been sharply tilted or transported in the horizontal position, it must be left to stand in the upright position and not plugged in for at least 4 hours.
- Remove all the packaging material before using the appliance.
- Start the appliance only if it has been installed as described.
5. OPERATION

- Check that the electronic controller, lighting, and fans are operating correctly.
- The compressor and condenser fan should operate within 3 minutes after the Refrigeration switch is turned on.
- The electronic controller will display the current cabinet temperature after the Refrigeration switch is turned on.
- The [Refrigeration Status LED] indicates that refrigeration circuit is operating.
- During the start-up delay (3 minutes), the [Refrigeration Status LED] is flashing.
- The [Defrost Status LED] indicates that the refrigeration circuit is defrosting.
NOTE: The Cooling Light is illuminated when the appliance is chilling the interior of the cabinet.
Manual Defrost
This cabinet features automatic defrost. However, should the appliance require an additional defrost, press SET and hold the DEFROST button for 6 seconds. Automatic defrost cycles occur every 8 hours and last 20 minutes (factory default). To stop the Defrost, press SET and hold the DEFROST button for 6 seconds.

6. PRODUCT LOADING AND STORAGE
IMPORTANT: Run the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before loading.
WARNING: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant inside the appliance.
Start-up Loading
- Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and warm water before loading.
- Ensure there is free circulation of air between the products.
- Do not block the evaporator fan.
- Do not overstock the refrigerator.
- Keep refrigerator door openings to a minimum.
- Some products are sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, please see storage guidelines from the manufacturer before removing from packaging.
- Do not block the internal air vents or fans when loading the cabinet. This can reduce cooling performance.
NOTE: Bromic cannot be responsible for loss of stock or damage to stock.
7. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any maintenance. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out of the outlet.
WARNING: Exposure to significant water ingress will void warranty and cause potential safety issues. If the unit should be exposed to water, please contact the manufacturer immediately.
IMPORTANT: Warranty may be void if there is no evidence of preventative maintenance is performed on the appliance.
Cleaning the Cabinet
- Remove the products and transfer to a suitable location prior to cleaning the inside of the cabinet.
- Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Never use a water hose or a high-pressure jet to clean.
- Do not use sharp or pointed objects for cleaning.
- Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with a clean damp cloth or with a neutral cleanser.
- Dry all surfaces with a dry cloth.
- The cabinet must be wiped down regularly.
- Never use polishing powder, soap powder, benzine, oil, or hot water as these will damage the painting and plastic components.
- Preventing the build-up of oil and sediments will increase the longevity of the unit.
- After cleaning, ensure the power plug is firmly inserted into the wall.
- Check the power cord for cracks and damage. If damaged, contact Bromic Service.
Condenser Coil/Filter
IMPORTANT: The filter and the condenser coil must be cleaned once a month. The filter can be removed for cleaning with water, make sure it is dried before reattaching. The condenser coil must be cleaned with vacuum/brush monthly to maintain the performance and minimise power consumption. A poorly maintained condenser coil can lead to failure of the unit and higher cabinet temperatures.

10. ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL NOTES
These refrigerated cabinets are designed to high standards of environmental protection and recycling convenience. Cyclopentane, an environmentally friendly foaming agent, has been used. Cyclopentane is distinguished by zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP). The refrigerant used and contained within a hermetically tight circuit is environmentally friendly and does not contain chlorine and zero ODP.
The device must be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. The WEEE regulations must be observed.
In the interest of preventing environmental nuisance and promoting re-use of the high quality materials employed, used commercial refrigeration equipment must be collected for expert disposal and recycling. Therefore, observe the following disposal regulations:
- The cabinet must not be discarded with regular waste.
- The refrigeration circuit must not be damaged.
- Before disposal, make it unserviceable by disconnecting the power plug and cutting off the power cable.
- Consult your local authorities or authorised dealers for details of collection and disposal facilities.
- Children are often unable to recognise the dangers associated with commercial refrigeration equipment. Proper supervision must be maintained and children must be prevented from playing with discarded refrigerated cabinets.
- The refrigerant used in all appliances covered by this manual are flammable. The refrigeration circuit must not be damaged. [WARNING: Risk of fire]
