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, samples, reagents 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 first 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 aect 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

The IntelliCold® controller tted to the front of your refrigerator has been designed by Labcold
for the safe storage of vaccines, medicines, samples and reagents.
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,
for example inside a packet to monitor a load temperature.
Unlike other refrigerator controllers which have buttons you press with your finger, 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
dierent 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 emits a sound to
conrm it has registered your touch, again similar to a mobile.

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 first plug your refrigerator in it will alarm 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 fitting 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:

H/L

The controller will ash Yfollowed by 2 digits, for example Y98. Use the up and down arrows
on the right hand side to adjust to the current year, so if it is 2019 adjust the digits to 19. If
you hold the arrow it will scroll through the numbers, if you touch the arrow(s) the value will
increase/decrease by one unit at a time. When the controller is showing the correct year, touch
the tick icon/button and it will store that setting and then ask you to set the month.
The controller will now ash followed by 2 digits, for example 98. Adjust the digits using
the arrow icons/buttons as above, so if it is June adjust the digits to 06. When adjusted, touch
the tick icon/button as before.

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 t1H 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
21st June adjust the digits to 21. When adjusted, touch the tick icon/button as before.

After setting the day you next need to set the hour. The controller has a 24 hour clock and will
now ash H followed by 2 digits, for example d98. Adjust the digits using the arrow icons as
