Safety First Always observe safety precautions when using any electrical appliance.
Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future reference.
When the appliance is used by or near young children or infirm persons,
close supervision is necessary, especially to ensure children do not play
with it.
Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
Do not cover the grilles or block the entry or exhaust of airflow by
placing objects up against the refrigeration cassette.
Do not probe any opening.
Only use this appliance with the voltage specified on the chiller rating
label affixed to the refrigeration cassette.
Ensure the chiller has adequate ventilation as this is essential to
economical, high performance.
Be careful not to touch moving parts and hot surfaces.
For your own safety and that of others, ensure that all electrical work is
done by authorised personnel.
If the power supply flexible cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced
by an authorised service agent or similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
Ensure all necessary safety precautions are observed during installation
or removal of the refrigeration cassette.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
flammable propellant in this appliance.
This appliance is not designed to be stable while in motion. Use
extreme caution when moving or transporting the appliance.
Please contact SKOPE customer services for advice regarding disposal
of this appliance.
WARNING
Always disconnect the chiller from the mains power supply
before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
CAUTION
Never overload the power supply, which could damage the

User Manual
Positioning the Chiller
Power Cord The chiller has a flexible power cord fitted with a 3-pin plug, which exits
below the rear sign panel. Pull the power cord around so that it’s not trapped
before you position the chiller.
Chiller
Location The location of the chiller may be the single most important decision that will
extend its life and ensure economical, high performance. We recommend
that you put the chiller in the coolest place possible because it will use less
power and last longer.
Allow adequate space for door/s to open and close properly. Self-closing
doors have internal torsion bars pretensioned at the factory and must be
unobstructed. Ensure the chiller sits on a level surface so that the door/s
shut and correctly seal. Level footing also prevents the condensate tray from
overflowing.
The maximim recommended ambient temperature for the chiller is 40°C.
Ventilation For effecient operation of the chiller, it is essential that adequate ventilation
be provided above the refrigeration unit. Ensure there is always at least a
200mm gap abetween the top of the sign panels and ceiling. Never store
cardboard cartons or other objects on top of the chiller.
Stabiliser Feet TME475 chillers are fitted with two stabiliser feet, located next to the front
castors at the cabinet base.
To provide adequate stability, both stabiliser feet MUST be screwed down
clockwise to contact firmly with the floor (see below). Once firm floor contact
has been achieved, rotate the locking nut anti-clockwise up to the top of the
thread to lock the stabiliser foot in place.
Ensure the stabiliser feet are raised when moving the chiller.
IMPORTANT
To ensure effecient and reliable operation, a minimum of
200mm clear ventilation space is required above the
refrigeration unit.

WARNING
The stabiliser feet on TME475 chillers must have firm floor

Fitting the Illuminated Sign
New Zealand models only. The illuminated sign is packed inside the chiller
for transit purposes.
To fit the illuminated sign
Fitting the Shelves
The chiller is supplied with five layers of shelves, which may be positioned
at different heights to suit various products. Each shelf is held in place with
four shelf clips which engage in the shelf support strips. The support strips
are marked with a ‘+’ for easy location of shelf clips.
To fit the wire shelves
1. Loosen the four retaining screws on top of the chiller, and fit the left and right
hand ventilated sign sides in position. Slide the panels forward, flush with the
edges of the chiller, and tighten the screws.
2. Clip the sign back panel
into retaining slots on the
rear of the sign sides and
tighten fixing screws.
3. Fit sign assembly by
engaging clips into both
retaining slots on the front
of each side panel, and
pull sign assembly firmly
down.
4. Turn the sign retaining
clips, on top of each side
panel, to hold sign unit
firmly in position.
5. Connect the sign ENSTO 3 pole plug into the roof top power supply socket.
1. Unpack the shelves and shelf clips from inside the chiller.
2. Establish the desired position for the shelves and securely engage a shelf
clip in each of the shelf support strips.
3. Sit the shelves on the shelf clips.

Operation
User Manual
2Operation
Start-Up
After the chiller has been positioned in a suitable place, plug it in and check
the following activity.
Note: After moving the chiller, allow the chiller to stand for at least 30
minutes before connecting to the power supply.
Loading Product
The chiller should be left running for 30 minutes before loading with product.
When loading the chiller shelves with product:
Allow adequate air space around each item to ensure even cooling and
efficient operation of the chiller.
Do not exceed a maximum load of 20kg per shelf.
Remove some product if the shelves are flexing.
Do not let anything overhang the shelves because this might stop the
doors from shutting or even break something.
Item Activity
Lighting
The lights that illuminate the chiller interior, and where
applicable the lit sign, will come on when the chiller is
turned on.
Thermostat
The thermostat is pre-set to give an internal air
temperature of between 2°C and 4°C, and under normal
circumstances should not require adjustment. If you do
need to adjust the temperature, turn the thermostat shaft
protruding from the control box mounted on top of the
refrigeration unit. To make the temperature colder; turn the
thermostat clockwise. To make the temperature warmer;
turn the thermostat anti-clockwise.
Compressor,
Condenser and
Evaporator
Fans
The compressor, and evaporator and condenser fans
should all operate continuously from the time the chiller is
plugged in. This may be verified by listening for compressor
switch on and checking for air movement inside the chiller.
The compressor and condenser fan should switch off
when the chiller internal temperature reaches
approximately 2°C. and on again at approximately 4°C.
The internal chiller air will continue to circulate at all times.

Cleaning
Ensure the chiller is disconnected from the power supply before cleaning.
Cabinet Periodically wipe the inside and outside of the cabinet with a damp cloth,
taking care to keep moisture away from electrical parts. As with any
maintenance, ensure the chiller is isolated from the power supply before
cleaning.
Condenser
Coil To ensure trouble-free performance, the condenser coil must be cleaned
each month with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or
blockage from the coil fins. A more thorough cleaning is recommended
every six months by qualified service personnel.
To clean the condenser coil
WARNING
Twin unit chillers have two separate power supplies. Ensure
both supplies are disconnected before undertaking any service
or maintenance work.
1. Disconnect the chiller from the power supply.
2. Loosen the sign retaining clip on the top edge of each sign panel and lift the
sign unit up to disengage from the sign sides.
3. Disconnect the sign plug from the electrical box socket and remove the sign
unit from the chiller.
4. The condenser coil is now
accessible for cleaning.
