All necessary actions for safe usage & maintenance of this
appliance are described in this manual and need to be followed
carefully. This appliance must be installed only by a suitably
qualified person.
3. Installation & Operation
Failure to comply with the instructions may result in high-energy
consumption, poor performance of the unit and void warranty.
 Keep all ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in
the built-in structure clear of obstruction.
 Do not use mechanical devices or means other than those
recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the
defrosting process.
 Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
 Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance, unless recommended by the
manufacturer
 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service provider or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.

ENG

Do not place the merchandiser:
 in direct sunlight or near heat sources (radiators, stoves &
other heating equipment)
 outdoors, without proper protection from rain, moisture and
other atmospheric elements
 in climate conditions for which it is not certified
 in extreme environmental conditions (i.e. extensive exposure
to saline humidity)
3.1. ICM placement instructions
i. After unpacking, check the cabinet for any damage caused during transportation. In the event of
damage, please contact the forwarding company.
ii. Always ensure that your merchandiser is installed on a stable surface/floor. There are 4
adjustable feet in Flex 100 HC, Flex 100 C HC, Flex 20 HC, Flex 20 C HC, Flex 130 HC, Flex
130 C HC, Flex 130 C SZ HC, Premium Slim 130 [R600a] and Bar-45 [R600a]. The cooler must
be leveled through proper adjustment of the leveling feet in all installations. It must be ensured
that the cooler does not exhibit any inclination towards its front side and/or its lateral sides, after
adjustment. A slight inclination toward its back side will further facilitate the good circulation of
the fluid and support the door closing mechanism. The use of a spirit level is highly advisable to
check leveling. Verify that the cooler sits firmly on the leveling feet. The front cooler wheels (if
available) should be able to rotate by hand after cooler installation and adjustment. Take the
necessary precautions if lifting is required during installation. Do not allow the access of
unauthorized individuals during the cooler installation
iii. The merchandiser must stand upright for at least 1 hour after transportation and prior to start-up.
This provides sufficient time for the oil to run back to the compressor after transit and
installation.
iv. Allow a minimum gap of 100mm at the back.
v. Do not place anything on top of the ICM.
Note: Relocation of the ICM inside the outlet
i. Empty the ICM and unplug from mains supply.
ii. Fully extract the levelling feet.
iii. Move the unit to the desired location with the assistance of another person.
3.2. Connection to the mains supply
Connect the ICM to a 220-240 Volt power supply on a min 10 A fused & grounded socket. Do not use
extension cables.
Do not connect the merchandiser to:
 a non-grounded wall socket or power line
 improper supply voltage and frequency
 power supply that does not comply with the safety regulations
of the appliance or with current legislation on electrical
installations

 If the mains cord supplied is not long enough, do not use an
extension lead. Ask an authorized electrician to replace the
cord with a longer one, only if this is described in the list of
authorized spare parts.
• Do not plug the cooler into a multiple outlet strip.
 Route the mains cord in such a way that it is protected from
damage and does not pose a risk of tripping.
3.3. Operation instructions
Do not use the merchandiser to store food.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with
flammable propellant in this appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or
handicapped or infirm persons unless they are adequately supervised
by a responsible person who will ensure the safe operation of the
appliance on their part. Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not operate the appliance while any of the cover sheets and guards
is open.
Energy saving tips:
For energy saving and ICM’s better performance:
• Load your ICM at night-time so that the drinks are cold once you get there in the morning.
• Store your back-up stock in a cool and/or dark place so that when reloaded, the ICM will need
much less time to cool them down.
• Wipe moisture off the products you place in the ICM.
• Avoid opening the door for long periods of time.
3.4. Electronic controller Instructions
For instructions of the functionality of your Carel Controller (option) and its related optional features,
please visit the following website link: http://www.frigoglass.com/manuals/.
4. Care & cleaning
Prior to any cleaning (inside or outside the device) procedure, unplug
the ICM! Remove the plug and make sure that the operator can check
from any of the points which he has access to, that the cable is
unplugged.
Never use a water hose or high pressure jet to clean the cooler.

It is important to clean the merchandiser twice a year. In order to avoid mould formation, odours, etc.
product compartments must also be thoroughly cleaned. The interior of the ICM should be cleaned
with a mildly soapy cloth and the glass surface using a window-cleaning agent.
 In case the merchandiser is placed in very dusty and/or greasy
environment, the regular cleaning of the condenser by an
authorized technician is mandatory.
 Keep the cooler in a stable position during cleaning, do not step on
or lean over the cooler.
 Do not clean with sharp objects, flammable or corrosive liquids or
sprays.
5. Troubleshooting

 UNPLUG THE COOLER PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE OR
SERVICE OPERATIONS. REMOVE THE PLUG AND MAKE SURE
THAT THE OPERATOR CAN CHECK FROM ANY OF THE POINTS
WHICH HE HAS ACCESS THAT THE CABLE IS UNPLUGGED.
 After maintenance operations, make sure that the grounding
connections are in place before assembling the covers. Make sure
you use the same fastening components and covers.
 If any electrical components need to be replaced, use only the
identical components in the spare part list supplied by the
technical service department of Frigoglass.
 Keep the glass door of the cooler closed during cooling
mechanism maintenance. The appliance will not stand stable when
the compressor is disassembled. If the compressor needs to be
replaced, use adequate support to stabilize the cooler.
 After maintenance operations make sure that the strain relief,
which supports the supply cord, is assembled properly.
If the ICM is not functioning properly or is out of order, please check the following before calling the
