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 unit.
Do not probe any opening.
Only use this appliance with the voltage specified on the cabinet rating
label affixed to the refrigeration unit.
Ensure the appliance 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

Positioning the Cabinet
Climate Class The chiller is designed to operate within a climate class 4 environment (30°C
@ 55% relative humidity).
Chiller
Location
The location of the chiller may be the single most important decision that will
extend its life and ensure economical, high performance. Allow space for the
door/s to open and close properly. Self-closing doors have internal torsion
bars pretensioned at the factory. Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface so
that the door shuts and correctly seals, and that the doors are unobstructed.
Level footing also prevents the condensate tray from overflowing.
Power Cord The power cord exits from the top rear of the cabinet and is fitted with a 3-pin
plug. Pull the power cord around so that it’s not trapped before you position
the cabinet.
Ventilation A minimum 300mm ventilation clearance must be provided above the chiller.
Never store cardboard cartons or other items on top of the refrigeration unit.
IMPORTANT
Ensure minimum ventilation clearances are met.

Shelves
The chiller is fitted with four layers of wire shelves which may be positioned
at different heights to suit various products.
Shelf Clips Each wire shelf is held in place with six shelf clips, which engage in the shelf
support strips.
To fit a shelf clip
Repositioning
Shelves When repositioning standard shelves, unload and remove the shelf,
establish the desired position and slide the shelf clip in each of the shelf
support strips to the desired position. Sit the shelves on the shelf clips.
1. The shelf clip twists onto
the shelf support strip.
Locate the square pin on
the back of the clip into
the support strip, and
twist the clip so that it
sits level and locks in
place.

2Operation
Automatic Start-Up
After the cabinet has been positioned in a suitable place, plug it in and check
the following activity.
Lighting
The cabinet interior and sign are lit by LED lights. The lights can be switched
on and off using the light switches below the sign.
The cabinet and sign LED lights are all non-serviceable and must not be
tampered with in any way. If a light is suspected of being faulty, arrange a
service call.
Item Activity
Electronic
Controller
An electronic controller runs the chiller and is visible in a
cutout below the sign. The display panel on the electronic
controller shows the cabinet internal temperature.
Lighting
The lights that illuminate the sign and cabinet interior will come
on a few seconds after the chiller is turned on. If the lights do
not come on, check the light switches below the sign and
switch them on (see “Lighting” below).
Refrigeration
System
The refrigeration system will start a few seconds after the
chiller is turned on.
To verify, listen for the compressor and check that the
refrigeration system light is lit on the electronic controller.
Note: If the cabinet is powered on and off repeatedly, the
compressor may enter protection mode and stay off for 5
minutes.

Loading Product
Let the chiller run 30 minutes before loading it with product the first time.
When loading the 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.

User Manual
Electronic Controller
Introduction The chiller is fitted with an electronic controller which is visible through a
cutout below the sign. The electronic controller is pre-programmed and
requires no initial setup or additional programming. SKOPE does not
recommend that the settings be changed unless it is absolutely necessary.
Temperature
Setpoint
The chiller temperature is set to stay between 1.5°C and 3.5°C. The setpoint
can be adjusted to other temperature ranges for specialist applications if
required (see below).
SKOPE do not recommend that the setpoint range be changed unless it is
absolutely necessary, and then only by small increments at a time.
To change the temperature setpoint range
Messages and
Alarms
The following table explains messages and alarms that the electronic
controller displays.
Messages and alarms

4. Once the desired set is displayed, leave the controller for 5 seconds. The
display changes back to the cabinet internal temperature and the new set is
saved.
Display Description
The cabinet internal temperature. The temperature is what the
sensor inside the chiller detects, and not necessarily the product
temperature. However, they may be very close depending on how
the controller is set to sense temperature.
Electronic controller lock indicator. On when the electronic controller
is locked. Off when the electronic controller is unlocked. Press and
hold the up and down buttons for 3 seconds to unlock the electronic
controller.
Compressor indicator. On when the compressor starts. Off when the
compressor stops.

Cleaning
Cabinet 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 unplugged from the power supply before cleaning.
Condenser
Coil To ensure trouble-free performance, the condenser coil must be kept clean.
We strongly urge monthly cleaning with a soft brush to remove dust and fluff.
A more thorough cleaning is required by qualified service personnel every
six months. The condenser coil must be kept clean for efficient and reliable
operation.
To clean the condenser coil and optional condenser filter
WARNING
Unplug the chiller from the power supply before cleaning the
condenser filter and condenser coil.
1. Unplug the chiller from the power supply.
2. Use steps or a platform to
access the back of the
sign, and unscrew the two
wire cover screws (located
above the back of the
electronic controller
housing). Note: Image
