5 Technical description
5.1 Function description
All materials used in the refrigerator are compatible for use with medicines.
The refrigerant circuit is maintenance-free.
The refrigerator is available as freestanding version (FS) and as built-in
version (BIU).
The freestanding version (HC302FS, HC502FS) is intended for freestanding
use. The cooling unit cover protects the warm parts of the cooling units. The
foot frame with ventilation openings ensure sufficient ventilation. By remov-
ing the foot frame and cooling unit cover the refrigerator can be used as a
built-in version.
The built-in version (HC302BIU, HC502BIU) is intended to be mounted into
furniture. It doesn‘t have a foot frame or cooling unit cover.
The digital thermometer shows and stores the minimum and maximum inner
temperatures from the last reset so that you can check whether the medi-
cines have been stored at the appropriate temperatures.

6.3 Installing built-in version
Observe the following instructions when installing:
Install the refrigerator so that the warm air produced can easily flow away
(either upwards or to the front, fig. 3, page 3).
Key to fig. 3, page 3
Leave the device to stand for at least four hours before you connect it
to the power supply so that the refrigerant can flow back into the
compressor.
Make sure that the refrigerator door is able to open at least 100°. Other-
wise the drawers cannot be used.
➤Mount the refrigerator to the furniture by two screws through the fittings at
the bottom (fig. 4, page 3).
6.4 Connecting the refrigerator to the power supply
A
➤Connect the plug of the connection cable into the AC mains.
➤Insert the battery into the thermometer (see chapter “Replacing the
battery of the thermometer” on page 17).
✓The display turns on.
For the first two seconds the display will not show temperature values; it
shows “--.-”. Then the temperature read from the sensor is shown.

7.1 Energy saving tips
Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.
Do not leave the doors open for longer than necessary.
Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.
7.2 Using the refrigerator
I
After the first start, after replacing the battery or after switching off the
refrigerator for a longer time the display of the digital thermometer (fig. 2,
page 2) shows the current ambient temperature. When the inner temperature
reaches the operating range the thermometer should be reset to avoid show-
ing wrong maximum temperature value.
➤Press the reset button (fig. 24, page 2) for 5 s.
NOTE
Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you
should clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for
hygienic reasons (please also refer to the chapter “Cleaning
and maintenance” on page 20).
Always leave some space between the medicaments in the
cabinet to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the drawers are
packed too tightly there may be unacceptable temperature
values.
NOTE
The temperature values are shown in °C. This cannot be
changed.

EN
HC302, HC502 Using the refrigerator

The thermometer has a blue backlight which makes the temperature values
easier to read.
➤Press the reset button (fig. 24, page 2) briefly.
✓The blue backlight lights for 2 s.
The thermometer stores the values of the minimum and maximum inner
temperature since the last reset. These values are deleted when the thermo-
meter is reset or the battery is changed.
7.3 Replacing the battery of the thermometer
Replace the battery of the thermometer as follows (fig. 9, page 6):
➤Pull the key (1) from the lock.
➤Remove the lock cover rosette using two standard screwdrivers.
➤Remove both screws (2) from front panel.
➤Push the front panel (3) a bit upwards and remove it by slightly pulling.
➤Remove the battery (4).
A
➤Insert the new battery (CR1632) in its holder.
➤Remount the front panel and lock cover rosette in reversed order.
NOTICE!
Make sure the polarity is correct (the “+” must face up).

7.4 Defrosting the refrigerator
I
Humidity can cause frost to form in the interior of the refrigerator or on the
vaporiser.
A slight layer of frost or water droplets could form in the interior of the
refrigerator if it has been cooling for longer periods. This is normal because
the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in the refrig-
erator drops. The refrigerator is not defective.
The condensate flows out through a water drain duct into a water container
at the back of the unit at top of the compressor, where it evaporates.
It is recommended to defrost the refrigerator every three weeks.
Proceed as follows:
➤Disconnect the refrigerator from the AC mains.
➤Remove the drawers (see chapter “Removing the drawers” on page 19).
➤Leave the door open.
➤After defrosting wiped out the cabinet interior with a clean, damp cloth.
➤Assemble the drawers.
7.5 Switching off and storing the refrigerator
If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤Disconnect the plug.
➤Clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on
page 20).
➤Leave the door slightly open.
This prevents smells from building up.
NOTE
In high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator may operate
continuously, which can lead to excessive formation of frost on
the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.

7.6 Removing the drawers
You can remove the drawers, e.g for cleaning.
Proceed as follows (fig. 0, page 6):
➤Open the door (A).
➤Pull out the drawer (B).
➤Push the fixing pins from the outside to the inside (C)
➤Remove the drawer (D)
➤Assemble the drawers in reverse order.

8 Cleaning and maintenance
!
A
➤Clean the refrigerator regularly and as soon as it becomes dirty with a
damp cloth.
➤Make sure that no water drips into the seals. This can damage the
electronics.
➤Wipe the refrigerator dry with a cloth after cleaning.
➤Check the condensate drain regularly.
Clean the condensate drain when necessary. If it is blocked the
condensate collects on the bottom of the refrigerator.
➤Regularly clean the door seals.
➤Freestanding version: Clean the grid of the condenser and the
compressor on the back of the device with a vacuum cleaner regularly.
WARNING!
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the mains before you
clean and service it.
NOTICE!
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during
cleaning as these can damage the refrigerator.
Never use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or to free objects
frozen onto the device.
Do not use any mechanical tools or any other tools to speed
up the defrosting process.
