2. Introduction
This equipment has been produced to be internally or externally in its aesthetics and componability. In response
to the specific needs of customers, it has been mechanically and aesthetically checked in every aspect before
dispatch. For the correct utilization of the equipment, carefully read the instructions, observe all the
recommendations contained therein, and consign this manual of which constitutes an integral part of the essence
of the equipment, to the enduser who is requested to retain it for future consultation. By observing these
recommendations, you will guarantee the extended trouble-free operation of the equipment.
3. Manufacturer Retained Rights & Responsibilities
It is forbidden to reproduce, partially or totally, these instructions without the express authorization of the
manufacturer. The manufacturers deny all responsibility to third parties in consequence of:
p Non-observance of the warnings and instruction contained in the test
p Non-observance of the parameters of utilization of the equipment
p Unreasonable or wrongful utilization by untrained personnel
p Use non-conforming to local statutes
p Unauthorized modifications and/or repairs undertaken by untrained or unauthorized personnel
p Utilization of non-original spare parts or accessories
p Exceptional occurrences
p Imprecise instructions contained for whatever reason in the current manual
The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce any modification deemed necessary without warning.
4. Transportation & Storage
The equipment is wrapped in absorbent material and contained and fixed within a wooden platform and paper
box. Units should be stored within a protected and covered environment at a temperature between -25°C/-13°F
and 55°C/131°F, with an ambient humidity between 30% and 95%. Do not stack more than four items.
5. Commissioning
Carefully read the label on the equipment. Do not cover for any reason whatsoever and replace them immediately
if damaged. Do not remove protection or paneling that require the usage of tools.
Positioning:
In respect to the dimensions, ensure the space reserved for the equipment permits its correct utilization and ease
of maintenance. After carefully unpacking the display case, remove the white PVC protective film and all of the
manufacturer's material which safeguards the item in transit. Place the cabinet on a flat surface and level it by
screwing and adjusting the leveling legs to ensure its efficient operation. The cabinet must be lifted only from the
exterior of the base to avoid the possibility of damage. Do not move the cabinet by application of pressure to the
surface.
If the device has been positioned horizontally (integral condensing unit), wait two hours before activating it.
Packing and protective film should be disposed of as indicated by the local authorities. The equipment must not
be installed within explosive ambience, in the open air, or exposed to rain. The correct setting is distant from
direct sources (radiators, direct lighting, etc.) and protected from direct sunlight and draughts. Air circulation must
be freely maintained around the condensing unit, be it integral or remote. Non-observance of these specific
conditions will detrimentally affect the cabinet.

Page 5
Initial Cleaning:
Before use, all parts of the cabinet should be cleaned. For the walls and all the internal parts, use an antibacterial
detergent. For the plastic parts, use a moistened cloth. Dry with a soft clean cloth. Use little or no water. Do not
use harsh or abrasive solvents or detergents. During cleaning, do not approach bare-handed parts which could
cut (evaporator, condenser, etc.). Always use protective gloves.
Connection to Electrical Supply:
Check that the electrical supply conforms to the
requirements listed on the factory label and that
it is provided with a fall-safe protection or automatic
circuit breaker with an efficient connection. Should
there be no electrical safety feature, have an
omnipolar switch installed by a qualified technician,
as indicated in the safety regulations, with a
minimum clearance of the contacts of 3MM, where
the cabinet has to be installed at some distance
from the electrical source, conforming to local
regulations. Cabinets supplied with integral
condensing units are provided with an appropriate
plug fitted with a neutral and earth. The supply
cable must be well stretched, to avoid coiling and
superimposition. It must not be exposed to the
possibility of damage by third parties. It should not
be in contact with liquids, water, or heat sources. In
the event of damage, it must be replaced by a
qualified technician. Always avoid the use of
reducers or adapters.
Connection to Drains:
The dispersal of defrost water is automatic in models with
an integral condensing unit.
6. Technical Characteristics
Noise & Vibration:
It is not necessary to provide sound insulation, as the sound level of the equipment fitted with integral hermetic
condensing unit does not exceed 70 dB. Under normal conditions, the equipment does not generate vibrations,
which affect surroundings.
Use of Equipment:
Do not utilize the equipment to store medical supplies. The optimum operational temperatures are between
33°F to 40°F in refrigerated units and -8°F to 0°F in freezer units with relative humidity within 55%.
Possible applications include refrigeration, preparation and sale of salads, fruits, vegetables, and cold dishes.

7. Usage
Activation:
Power connection and adjust the thermostat.
Storage of Food:
In order to obtain the best functioning of the case it is necessary to observe the following instruction:
p Place the merchandise into the unit, only after it has reached the
desired operating temperature given on the digital display.
p To eliminate the risk of over-balancing, only open and fill one drawer at a time.
p Do not place uncovered hot foods or liquids inside the unit.

Defrosting:
The auto defrost cycle repeats 4 times in 24 hours; its timer will reset to the time of the initial first start-up.
8. Maintenance Instructions
The smooth operation and life of the equipment are mainly determined by correct and regular maintenance.
Regular cleaning is strongly recommended each month. Please follow the instructions below.
! Disconnect the unit power supply cable from the main power source
prior to carrying out any type of cleaning operation.
▲ Cleaning the Exterior
Clean with mild detergent and then dry it with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents!
▲ Cleaning the Interior
Clean a minimum of once each month with a detergent suitable for use with foodstuff.
▲ Cleaning the Condenser
For efficient operation, it is advisable to clean the condenser regularly, a minimum of
once every 4 months with a dry brush or vacuum cleaner.
Period of Inactivity of Cabinet:
During periods of inactivity, remove the products from the cabinet and follow instructions below.
p Remove the plug from the outlet and carefully clean the unit, as per maintenance instructions.
p Cover the cabinet with a cloth that allows air circulation in the interior.
