MODEL NO: SDH102.V2
Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,
and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE
THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURYAND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY
1.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any
other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate
safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend
that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a
supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current
Device by contacting your Sealey stockist. You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The Electricity at WorkAct 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The Health & Safety at WorkAct 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and
the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and
use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure
that none are loose.
1.1.6. IMPORTANT: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used.
8DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
8DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
8DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or
replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS1363/A UK 3 pin plug is damaged, cut the cable just above
the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that
the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
1.1.7. If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.

 hazardsorignitionrisks.“NoSmoking”signsshallbedisplayed.
1.3.7. Ventilated area
1.3.7.1. Ensure that the area is in the open or that it is adequately ventilated before breaking into the system or conducting any hot
work. A degree of ventilation shall continue during the period that the work is carried out. The ventilation should safely
disperse any released refrigerant and preferably expel it externally into the atmosphere.
1.3.8. Checks to the refrigeration equipment
1.3.8.1. Whereelectricalcomponentsarebeingchanged,theyshallbetforthepurposeandtothecorrectspecication.Atalltimesthe

9The charge size is in accordance with the room size within which the refrigerant containing parts are installed.
9The ventilation machinery and outlets are operating adequately and are not obstructed.
9If an indirect refrigerating circuit is being used, the secondary circuit shall be checked for the presence of refrigerant.
9Marking to the equipment continues to be visible and legible. Markings and signs that are illegible shall be corrected.
9Refrigeration pipe or components are installed in a position where they are unlikely to be exposed to any substance which may
corrode refrigerant containing components, unless the components are constructed of materials which are inherently resistant to being
corroded or are suitably protected against being so corroded.
1.3.9. Checks to electrical devices
1.3.9.1. Repair and maintenance to electrical components shall include initial safety checks and component inspection procedures. If a fault
exists that could compromise safety, then no electrical supply shall be connected to the circuit until it is satisfactorily dealt with. If the
fault cannot be corrected immediately but it is necessary to continue operation, an adequate temporary solution shall be used. This
shall be reported to the owner of the equipment so all parties are advised.
1.3.9.2. Initial safety checks shall include:
9those capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking.
9that there no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system.
9that there is continuity of earth bonding.
