BASIC LINE Cold Buffet OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Functional principle
The two cooling system options for the BASIC LINE cold buffet are based on different principles.
Each principle has its own special advantages and characteristics.
BASIC LINE SK
The refrigeration system evaporator in the unit underframe cools the floor of the cooling tray.
The air in the tray barely moves at all.
This functional principle ensures:
• Cooling is gentle, reducing the risk of food drying out
• Limited air movement ensures very hygienic conditions in the cooling tray
• The cooling tray is simple to clean
BASIC LINE UK
The evaporator in the cooling system beneath the cooling tray extracts heat from the ambient air.
A fan causes the cooled air to circulate around the cooling tray. This cools the walls of the cool-
ing tray. Part of the circulating air flows into the cooling tray and contributes to cooling the tray
and what it contains.
This functional principle ensures:
• The cooling tray cools down rapidly
• A lower cooling temperature (+2 °C) than with active contact cooling
• Uniform temperature distribution
• Food in the cooling tray should be covered if it remains there for a longer period (risk of
drying out)
The unit interior has a drain for condensation water which collects in the condensation water
catch tray beneath the refrigeration unit.
BASICLINE EKV
The evaporator in the cooling system beneath the cooling tray extracts heat from the ambient air.
A fan causes the cooled air to circulate within the showcase. This cools the interior of the refrig-
eration showcase and keeps what it contains refrigerated.
This functional principle ensures:
• The refrigeration showcase cools down rapidly
• Uniform temperature distribution
• Food in the cooling tray should be covered if it remains there for a longer period
(risk of drying out)
There is a revision panel beneath the machine compartment, behind which a condensation wa-
ter catch tray is inserted.

Transport

16
BASIC LINE Cold Buffet OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Location
The unit may only be installed/operated in a well-ventilated environment.
Never operate the unit next to equipment which emits large amounts of steam, such as a dish-
washer. Steam can cause moisture condensation on the unit.
When the unit is connected to the power, there is a danger of the moisture film causing a mal-
function, a short-circuit or an electric shock.
Do not obstruct the section below the refrigeration unit compartment or the ventilation slits.
Insufficient air supply can reduce refrigeration unit efficiency.
The refrigerant propane (R290) is highly flammable and explosive (refrigerant group A3 according
to DIN EN 378-2). In the event of a leak, an ignitable gas-air mixture can be produced which can
trigger an explosive reaction if the critical mixing ratio is reached and there is a suitable source of
ignition source!
Commissioning after storage
Moisture contained in the room air condenses on the surface and the inside of the unit when
the unit is brought from a cold storage room and into a warmer room with a higher level of
humidity. There is a risk of the moisture film causing a malfunction, a short-circuit or an electric
shock when the unit is connected to the power. Do not operate the unit until it has reached
room temperature.
Mains connection
The mains voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate must match the corresponding
values for the mains socket outlet. Only connect the unit to a socket outlet that is protected by
a residual-current device (RCD)/residual-current circuit breaker (each phase with max. 16A).
The unit must not be used if the insulation on the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
Insert and remove mains plug only while unit is switched off since, otherwise, the unit electrical
system can be damaged. Connected external devices must also be switched off before
disconnecting the mains plug. Only unplug by pulling on the mains plug housing.
If the unit needs to be connected to the power supply with a fixed electrical connection on site,
the on-site installation must be equipped with a disconnection device acting on all poles which
is accessible at all times and can be secured to ensure it is not switched on accidentally.
General information
The user must be aware of the hazards that the unit presents and be able to assess them.
The unit may only be used by persons whose physical, sensory or mental abilities are not
subject to any restrictions relevant to operating the unit.
The unit may only be used when it is in proper working order.
Only have authorised, expert professionals trained to handle propane refrigerants (R290)
carry out work on the refrigeration system.
Commissioning
Handling and operation

17
BASIC LINE Cold Buffet OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Secure the unit against accidental use if it is damaged. Have an authorised
service point perform repairs immediately.
ªChapter “Repairs” onpage70
No electrical appliances may be operated in the unit’s usable space. Always load the unit from
bottom to top in order to keep the unit's centre of gravity as low as possible.
Danger!
Fire hazard
Fire hazard, in particular through naked flames, electric or static sparks generated by static
charge, and hot surfaces.
Avoid naked flames in the usable space or immediate vicinity of the unit.
Avoid hot surfaces.
In the event of static charge, appropriate countermeasures must be taken
(e.g. use of personal protective equipment, antistatic castors or an antistatic conveyor).
Caution!
Possible impairment of food quality
The quality of the food located in the unit may be impaired by a power failure, unit malfunctions
or other interruptions during storage.
Check whether the food quality has been impaired and dispose of food after such an
increase in the core temperature if necessary.
Sneeze guard
The sneeze guard is made of toughened safety glass and offers high resistance to impacts and
shocks. No undetected damage is able to occur to the glass such as chipping due to impact or
knocking. When damaged, the tempered safety glass shatters into small, partially intermeshed
fragments, minimising the risk of injury.
Load-bearing capacities
Do not place any objects on the lighting bridge or on the standard sneeze guard.
These attachments are designed to hold dishes and/or trays only. Heavy objects, such as full
Gastronorm containers, should not be placed on them.
It is not permitted to sit on the attachments.
Permissible surface load per attachment:
• Tray slide: 25 kg
• Shelf/plate slide: 25 kg
• Unit base: 100 kg
• Highline sneeze guard (customer or operator side): 10 kg
• Glass shelf in showcase: 30 kg

BASIC LINE Cold Buffet OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Hygiene regulations
Observe the applicable regulations on foodstuffs and the characteristics of the food in question
when refrigerating food.
Unit model with castor brakes
Always apply the castor brakes to prevent the unit from rolling away. The unit can cause injury
and property damage if allowed to roll away accidentally.
Unit model with adjustable feet
All adjustable feet must be regulated to ensure that the unit stands firmly and does not wobble.
Change of location
Before transporting the unit, take suitable measures to ensure that it can be transported safely.
The unit location must also meet the requirements specified in directives, regulations, other rules
imposed by the German Employers Liability Insurance Association and any other applicable na-
tional provisions in their current version in the countries of use.
Unit model with castors
You must disconnect any mains plugs and remove any objects from any storage surfaces and
from the optional unit base before moving unit models to a different location. Objects could slip
off or out of the unit when it is moved. Remove any objects from the unit beforehand.
Always bring the unit to its new intended location at a reasonable speed (no faster than 3km/h).
The person who moves the unit to its new position must always be someone who is capable of
braking the unit in an emergency. An additional person is needed for safety reasons when the
field of vision is limited, during complicated transport manoeuvres and while traversing ramps,
hollows and inclined surfaces.
If the unit is on a sloped surface, it must be secured by extra means, such as wheel chocks, in
addition to locking the castor brakes to prevent it from accidentally rolling away.
The unit can be tilted to an angle of 5° when stationary before it is at risk of tipping over. You may
only cross sloping surfaces with an incline of less than 5°.
Avoid subjecting the castors to excessive load to minimise the risk of damage to the castors:
• Do not move the unit when the castor brakes are locked
• Avoid impacts
• Do not traverse bumps or steps
• Do not traverse uneven floors

19
BASIC LINE Cold Buffet OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The unit should be pushed only, never pulled.Always push the unit with both hands on the top
surface. If the unit is heavy, you may not be able to apply the brakes quickly enough if you push
the unit with just one hand.
Be careful not to pinch your hands between the unit and walls or other objects, such as
cabinets. Due to the low floor clearance, transport the unit over inclined surfaces or ramps with
a suitable means of conveyance, such as a pallet truck.
Unit model with adjustable feet
Carry the unit with suitable means of conveyance such as a pallet truck. You must observe the
applicable industrial safety regulations and other information in doing so.
If the unit falls over during transport or is otherwise exposed to high stress loads/strong impacts
that are clearly not within the unit’s intended use, it must be checked and, if necessary, serviced
by an authorised specialist refrigeration company before being put back into operation. Suitably
trained professionals can also carry out the check.
Disconnecting the mains plug
Insert and remove mains plug only while unit is switched off since, otherwise, the unit electrical
system can be damaged.
External devices connected to the unit socket outlets must also be switched off before you con-
nect or disconnect the mains plug.
Mains plug
Unplug the mains plug before cleaning the unit. Water penetrating into the unit can cause a
short-circuit. This can result in malfunctions. There is also risk of electric shock.
Personal protective equipment
Wear personal protective equipment (e.g. safety footwear, protective gloves, protective
eyewear, etc.) to counteract static charge.
Also use the personal protective equipment specified by cleaning agent manufacturers; see
safety data sheet for individual cleaning agents.

You must also defrost the cooling tray manually if a coating of ice (3 to 5mm) is clearly visible on
the cooling tray.
BASIC LINE UK
The BASIC LINE UK cold buffet features an automatic defroster.
Empty condensation water catch tray on a daily basis. If the tray is not emptied regularly, it can
overflow. This poses a slip hazard and a risk of damage to the floor.
Cleaning methods
Use approved cleaning methods only.
Do not use steam jet units, high-pressure cleaners, water sprayers or similar cleaning devices.
Cleaning agents,general
Do not use metal parts for cleaning. Metal parts can damage the unit and/or lead to corrosion.
Do not use pointed or sharp objects for cleaning. They can damage the unit.
Do not use scouring agents. Scouring agents scratch surfaces.
Cleaning water freezing inside unit
To prevent cleaning water from freezing inside the unit, you must switch off the refrigeration
system at least two hours before starting to clean. Dry the unit thoroughly after cleaning. Also
remove any cleaning water from the optional unit base.
A danger of slipping exists if cleaning water runs out of the unit during or after cleaning.
Completely wipe up any cleaning water which leaks out of the unit.
Sharp evaporator fins
BASIC LINE UK
The evaporator fins have sharp edges. Be careful when working beneath the evaporator in its
raised position as you may cut yourself. Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the unit
tray beneath the evaporator.
Removing corrosion spots
BASIC LINE UK
The evaporator fins are made of aluminium. Under no circumstances may these aluminium
components come into contact with acids (e.g. by being splashed with acid) or even be wiped
with acids since acids can react very strongly with aluminium. Health risk due to boiling acid and
chemical reaction products is present. Material damage can occur due to the decomposition of
the aluminium.
