1. General functional description
Thank you very much for choosing KIRSCH. Our refrigerator controllers and freezers offer the highest possible
reliability, minimal temperature differences and user-friendly operation thanks to:
A particularly thick insulated interior,
A refrigerating machine with interior evaporator for cooling,
A blower and air conduction in the interior,
An electronic temperature controller,
Electronic monitoring. This monitoring provides a visual and audible alarm in the case of the faults stated
hereinafter.
2. Proper use
KIRSCH refrigerators are only for commercial cold storage, not for domestic application.
3. Safety information
Transport and set-up
You may transport the device in motor-powered vehicles both standing up or on its side. If the device is
transported to its set-up location on its side, you may commission the device one hour after set-up at the ear-
liest. This allows the refrigerant to become correctly distributed in the refrigerant circuit again.
Note during transport and set-up that some devices are top-heavy. If the inclination angle is too great (greater
than 10 degrees), there is a risk of tipping!
Always transport the device on a pallet toprevent the (model-specific) defrost water receptacle from sustaining
damage!
Set up the device in a dry, well-ventilated location away from sources of heat. All refrigerators fulfil climate
category SN and ST, and can therefore be operated at ambient temperatures of +10°C to +38°C.
Ensure that children cannot access the device. After you have successfully set up the device, remove the key
from the door lock to prevent staff becoming locked in or suffocated.
Do not leave packaging material unattended. Plastic foil, plastic bags, cardboard packaging, polystyrene, etc.
can become dangerous toys for children. Danger of suffocation!
The device must stand in a fixed and level position. On devices with adjustable feet, adjust these feet to suit the
floor.
The connection cable must not contain kinks or be trapped. You must not operate devices with a faulty con-
nection cable! If this is the case, contact customer services.
The device must be sufficiently ventilated. The device will not function without sufficient ventilation. Fire haz-
ard!
oDo not set up devices immediately adjacent to one another. Minimum clearance: 2 cm.
oOn devices with a refrigerating machine installed underneath, adhere to the minimum wall clearance
as designated by the spacer. Never cover the ventilation slits.
oOn some models, inlet air and exhaust air flows through the ventilation slits at the front. Therefore, do
not block or face these slits with objects.
oDo not cover devices with a refrigerating machine located at the top.
oIf the device is to be installed, this work must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Always en-
sure that the refrigerating machine is sufficiently ventilated. Enquire at KIRSCH, if necessary.

Commissioning and operation
Do not commission a device that hasbeen damaged during transport or set-up. If in doubt, contact the supplier.
Do not damage parts of the refrigerant circuit. If the evaporator pipes are pierced by a sharpobject, other pipes
become kinked, or the surface finish is scratched off, refrigerant spraying out can cause eye injuries.
Connecting the device
oThe electrical connection conditions must match those stated on the type plate of the refrigerating
machine.
oKIRSCH refrigerating machines and freezers are ready-to-plug-in devices, operate at 220-240 volts
and at 50 or 60 Hz alternating current, depending on the model. Special designs that deviate from
these specifications are available; refer to the type plate in the upper right of the interior!
oConnect the device using a correctly installed plug with an earth connection.
oFuse: 10 amp.
oKIRSCH refrigerating machines and freezers are designed according to protection class I.
Cleaning
oClean the interior and exterior of the device before commissioning and at regular intervals thereafter.
oBefore you clean the device, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
oCleaning water must not enter the electrical components.
oClean the interior container and equipment with warm water and some mild detergent. Cleaning
agents containing sand or acid, or chemical solutions are unsuitable.
oWipe down the door seal with clear water and rub this dry thoroughly.
oYou can remove drawers and wire shelves for cleaning.
oTreat white-coated exterior housing with a paint cleaner and care product. Treat stainless-steel ex-
terior housing with a stainless-steel cleaner and care product.
oTo ensure that the refrigerating machine's performance is not affected by dust, clean the condenser
with a brush or vacuum cleaner as appropriate according to the build-up of dust but at least every 6
months. The condenser is a black wire part, located on the external back wall or in the motor area,
depending on the model.
Maintenance
oKIRSCH refrigerating machines and freezers are maintenance-free.
oHowever, observe the prior section entitled "Cleaning".

Page 5
Repair
oRepairs and modifications must be carried out by expert personnel only. Improper repairs and modi-
fications can lead to severe personal injuries (e.g. electric shocks) or damage to property (e.g. fire,
damage of goods to be cooled).
oIf the device malfunctions, switch it off and pull out the mains plug.
Observe the maximum load of the drawers and shelves: 100 kg/m². If the load-bearing system breaks as a
result of these loads being exceeded, this can lead to personal injuries depending on the goods being cooled!
Store the keys for the door where only authorised staff can access them.
The emission sound pressure level on all models does not exceed 70 dB(A)
Temporary decommissioning
Leave the door open in order to avoid the formation of odours and mould inside. Observe the section entitled
"Cleaning".
Remove the key from the door lock and store it out of the reach of children.
Also observe the points entitled "Switching on" and "Switching off" in section 5"Commissioning".
Disposal of obsolete devices
Immediately render obsolete devices unusable. Pull out the mains plug and disconnect the connection cable.
Remove or destroy locks to prevent children from locking themselves in while playing, as this could be fatal.
Remove the door, if possible.
If your model is equipped with a battery, dispose of this in the proper manner at the designated disposal point.
Ensure that the battery is not damaged, burnt or short-circuited. Risk of explosion!
Contact your municipal waste disposal office for details of how to dispose of the device correctly. Ensure that
the refrigerating machine's pipes do not become damaged.
