Before Use
Thank you for purchasing a Labcold IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerator. Your fridge has been
purposely designed and precision built for the safe storage of vaccines and other temperature
sensitive pharmaceuticals.
Although great care has been taken in the manufacture of your refrigerator, damage can occur
in transit. Before using for the rst time please remove all packaging and give your fridge a
thorough visual inspection. If any damage is suspected, please contact your retailer immediately
upon receipt of the product. Failure to do so may invalidate your warranty.
Installation
Place your fridge in the location in which it is to be used.
Do not place your fridge near a direct heat source or direct sunlight and leave at least 6cm all
round the unit for adequate ventilation. Failure to do so may aect the performance of your
refrigerator.
Clean your fridge with mild soapy water to remove any dust that may have accumulated during
manufacture and dry thoroughly.
Ensure your fridge is level by adjusting the feet at the bottom of your fridge.
For models RLDF/G0519, 1019 and 1519, insert shelves by placing clips in the racking and resting
the shelf on top. When positioning the shelves, please remember to keep adequate room for air
circulation. Failure to do so may cause hot spots in the fridge.
YOUR REFRIGERATOR SHOULD NOW BE LEFT FOR AT LEAST SIX HOURS BEFORE
CONNECTING TO POWER FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before plugging in your Labcold refrigerator for the rst time make sure the power cable is free
from damage and check that your voltage corresponds to that on the serial plate.
It is recommended that you do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters. Make sure
the power cable is not bent, pinched or compressed and that it can be easily accessed.
When you rst plug your refrigerator in it will sound and all the icons/buttons will be illuminated.

Plug In and Switch On
Setting the Date and Time
This needs to be done as soon as the refrigerator is plugged in. Your fridge does not have a
GPRS/wireless connection, so this will need to be repeated if the refrigerator experiences a
power loss and no batteries are tted. We recommend tting batteries to the fridge so it will
alarm and record internal temperatures should it become disconnected from a mains power
source.
The time should NOT be changed when the clocks change to GMT or BST as this may
cause stored data loss.
To set the date you need to do the following:
The IntelliCold® controller tted to the front of your refrigerator has been designed by Labcold
for the safe storage of vaccines, medicines and laboratory products.
It is tted with an exclusive touch controller that displays the temperature detected by two
temperature probes, one located in the back of the fridge and one you can position yourself
within the fridge.
Unlike other refrigerator controllers which have buttons you can press with your nger, this
one responds to the electrical current in your skin like a mobile phone or tablet. When you
place your hand over the controller it will reveal the various icons/buttons allowing you to
access dierent functions.
Like a mobile phone screen it may not work if you’re wearing gloves.
Where the instructions say ‘touch’ this means tap the icon/button like you would an app
on your phone. ‘Hold’ means leave your nger on the icon/button. The controller sounds to
conrm it has registered your touch, again similar to a mobile.

Muting the Alarm
To mute the alarm, wait until the controller is showing the t1H high alarm screen and touch
the mute icon/button. The t1H high alarm screen will then ash to conrm you have muted
it and the alarm will stop sounding. Repeat for the t2H alarm.
Muting the alarm does not mean the alarm is cancelled and it will sound again after 15 minutes.
This is the default setting which you can change using the refrigerators menu. However, the
alarm will only cancel completely when the controller detects that the refrigerator is no longer
in an alarm state.
To change the interval between muting and the alarm sounding again please see section
Alarm Time Out page 8.
After 30 seconds the icons/buttons will disappear from the front of the controller and it will
display the temperature alternately with any active alarms.To activate the icons/buttons again,
put your hand across the controller and they will become active after 2 seconds of appearing.
When adjusted, hold the tick icon/button until the display changes to show the temperature
inside the refrigerator. The red alarm light will display because the inside of the refrigerator
hasn’t had time to cool down yet and after a few seconds the controller will alternate the
temperature screen with a t1H and t2H high alarm screen. The alarm will sound when this
screen is displayed.
After setting the month you next need to set the day. The controller will now ash dfollowed
by 2 digits, for example d98. Adjust the digits using the arrow icons/buttons as above, so if it is

Alarm Guide
Door Lock
Your IntelliCold® Pharmacy refrigerator is tted with audio and visual alarms to help keep
the contents safe. All can be muted but unless the alarm condition is resolved, the alarm will
return after the time out interval.
The controller will show a code to explain why the fridge is alarming. An alarm code screen
alternates with the usual temperature screen. For all temperature, door and mains failure
related alarms, a red dot will illuminate, regardless of which screen is currently displaying. For
battery related alarms a battery icon will display.
t1H - This will display when probe t1 detects that
the air temperature has exceeded 8oC. Because high
temperatures can adversely aect the contents of your
fridge, it should always be investigated.The alarm will also

Getting Started
Follow the instructions on page 4 -11 to set up your refrigerator.
We especially recommend that you install 4 AA batteries (not provided) in to the battery
compartment located on the right hand side of the fridge near the base ( see page 2) because
this will allow you to be able to open the digital lock if there is a failure of mains power.
IF BATTERIES ARE NOT FITTED, DURING A POWER FAILURE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE
TO UNLOCK THE REFRIGERATOR UNLESS YOU HAVE PURCHASED A MASTER KEY
Opening the Door
Once the refrigerator has power, you can now open the door using the factory set user code
of 2244.
Put in the code and after every correct digit a green light will illuminate. Always wait for the
LED to light before pressing the next button. After the fourth digit is entered the lock will
make a noise signifying it has unlocked. You can then rotate the lock handle 90oin a clockwise
direction to open the fridge.
If the red LED ashes it indicates you have either entered a wrong digit or the lock hasn’t
registered the code you have entered and an error has occurred. Obviously, the refrigerator
will not unlock. Wait 4 seconds before you try entering the code again.
If you DO NOT unlock the refrigerator within 4 seconds the door will re-lock automatically if
the lock remains in the closed position.
Locking the Door
Shut the fridge door as usual and slide the lock handle 90oin an anti clockwise direction
 The digital combination lock does NOT self lock but once the lock handle is in the closed
position the lock will automatically engage.


The fridge will now only open using the new user
code or a master key
Using the key
We advise that you purchase a master key with your lock, to be held by a responsible person,
because it will enable the refrigerator to be unlocked in the event of a mains power failure or
if the user code is forgotten. The master key is unique to Labcold digital combination locks.
Micro SD Card
18
You can purchase a Micro SD card to transfer fridge and temperature data from the controller
to your computer. The card is supplied with an adapter for convenience so you can use a
regular SD card reader slot found on some older computers.
 You cannot use any Micro SD card with your Labcold IntelliCold® pharmacy refrigerator.
Only the Micro SD cards from Labcold are encoded to work with the controllers. They are
fridge specic, so one Micro SD card cannot be used for a number of IntelliCold® fridges, you
need one for every refrigerator that you want to use this function on.
The controller automatically records data every minute about alarms and fridge function and
allows you to download this information as a CSV le. The controller will store this information
for 18 months but we recommend that you download the data once a week especially as the
more data there is to download, the longer it takes.
Downloading Data to the Micro SD card
To download the data, you rst have to fully insert the Micro SD card, printed side up in
the Micro SD slot on the bottom of the controller.
When you insert the card the Sd screen will be displayed. Touch the tick icon/button to
select options for which data you want to download.
H/L
P
You will have the option to download a number of days of data, all the data since the last
download or all the data currently stored on the controller. Use the arrow icons/buttons to
select the option you want.
 The option to download data from where the last download ended is only available if
there has previously been at least one download.
Should you wish to use the lock as a digital lock again but have no record of the user code
please contact our service team on 01256 705 580 or [email protected].
Changing the User Code
It is advised that you change the factory set user code so that you can control who has access
to your refrigerator.
The user code 2244 is required to change the user code for the refrigerator when the code is
rst changed. After the initial change, whatever is the existing user code will be required to
change the user code. All new user codes must be four digits long.

To defrost you should:
• Leave unplugged with the door open for at least 6 hours at room temperature or until
any ice is melted. Do not use a sharp implement to remove ice as this will damage
the coating of the fridge
• Dry thoroughly and remove any surplus water before returning to use
• Leave cooling for at least 6 hours or until the temperature display show the correct
temperature for at least 30 minutes before reloading with temperature sensitive
contents such as vaccines or other pharmaceuticals.
It is essential that you unplug the refrigerator from the mains to prevent electric
shock and transfer the contents where they can be stored and monitored at the correct
temperatures before defrosting
Although your Labcold fridge features automatic o-cycle defrosting, it is recommended that
it is defrosted manually if there is a build up of ice. This can happen for a number of reasons, for
example in times of high humidity, if the door has been opened for a long time, the refrigerator
is overstocked or the ambient temperature is high.
Defrosting
Cleaning
When cleaning you should:
• Remove the shelves and clean with weak soapy water. Do not use strong detergents
or bleach
• Wipe the inside of the fridge in the same solution and dry with a soft cloth. Take care
to avoid the light tting and ensure that the drain hole at the back of the fridge is
clear of debris
• Wipe the door seal with a damp cloth. Do not use strong detergents or bleach
• Gently remove the dust on the back of the fridge. Take care not to damage the pipes

Caring for your Fridge
Loading
In order to ensure even temperature distribution throughout your refrigerator it is important
that :
• The shelves are evenly spaced and do not restrict air ow round the product.
• The contents are not packed too closely together.
• The contents do no touch the door, wall or the bottom of the fridge and are stored away
from the fan.
As with all refrigerators, your Labcold pharmacy and vaccine fridge, although designed to
provide you with many years of fault free service, will perform better if it is regularly maintained
and calibrated as per the Green Book, chapter 3 page 28. In addition to the above, attention
needs to be paid to the loading of the fridge to ensure maximum temperature and energy
eciency. The refrigerator also requires regular cleaning and defrosting.

The controller will rst check the card then begin to download the data. You will see the
screens below showing the progress of the download and End when it is completed.
If you see a screen with Err, an error has occurred so try again. If you see Er1, it means
initialization has failed, please contact our service team on 01256 705 580 or service@
labcold.com, and if you see ER2 it means the wrong Micro SD card for that refrigerator
is being used. Try again with the correct Micro SD card.
Viewing the data
When you insert you insert the SD card in to your computer you will see csv folders
named in yymm format. They contain CSV les named in yymmdd format. Click on the
le to select the one(s) you want to download or view.
The csv le will be a mixture of temperature readings against time and fridge operation
data such as whether the door was open etc and the time it happened. A zero in a
column means no incidence and a one in a column means there was an incidence so in
the example below, the compressor was on at 00:11 but o at 00:12.

Labcold IntelliCold® refrigerators constantly take readings of the air temperature inside the
refrigerator and averages and analyses the results. This means that if you have a separate
monitor it may alarm before the fridge controller, but the refrigerator will still alarm very
shortly afterwards and, if working correctly, will do so long before the temperature poses a
threat to the contents.
Why doesn’t the alarm react instantly?
There is water at the back of the fridge
Your Labcold refrigerator automatically defrosts and ice and water may be observed at the
back. Any ice is melted and runs through the drain hole to the condensate removal tray at
the back of the fridge. Due to the heat produced by the fridge motor this should evaporate
but may occasionally cause water to be observed in the tray. This is perfectly normal and is
nothing to worry about.

My independent thermometer shows a dierent temperature to the front of the fridge
Your Labcold IntelliCold® refrigerator has a probe placed at the rear of the fridge and the
temperature displayed is calculated by analysing and averaging the temperature data
collected by the probe. A thermometer placed in a dierent part of the refrigerator may read a
slightly dierent temperature especially if it is placed close to the door or at the top or bottom
of the fridge as these are the areas where the greatest temperature uctuations occur.

Small accumulations of ice on the cold plate are quite normal and should melt away after a
few minutes. Larger accumulations can occur for a variety of reasons:
• The room is too warm or even damp
• Please contact the Labcold service team if the set point is too low (i.e below 3C).
• The door has been left open too long
There is ice in my fridge
Trouble Shooting
If the fridge door is left open too long, or the fridge is over full, or is working in a high ambient
temperature or humid conditions, condensation may form. This is a normal part of the
refrigeration process and as long as the temperatures remain in range, is nothing to worry
about. Labcold IntelliCold® Pharmacy Refrigerators are designed for temperate climates, 16
to 32C, with a humidity of 60% RH.
There is condensation on the glass door of my fridge
All Labcold refrigerators work by evaporating a gas with low GWP properties. This is what
causes the back of the refrigerator to get cold,. As part of this process the gas has to turn back
in to liquid. This is why sometimes you will hear liquid sounds coming from the fridge.
My fridge is making a gurgling noise
• Check that the fridge is plugged in and the plug socket is turned on
• Try another appliance in the power socket. If this appliance works but your fridge
doesn’t, please contact your retailer
