Safety First Always observe safety precautions when using any electrical appliance. Read
these instructions carefully and retain them for future reference.
Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
Do not probe any opening.
Only use this appliance with the voltage specified on the cabinet rating label.
Ensure the appliance has adequate ventilation as this is essential to
economical, high performance.
Be careful not to touch internal 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 unit.
The appliance is not designed to be stable while in motion. Use extreme
caution when moving or transporting it.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable
propellant in this appliance.
Do not exceed a maximum load of 20kg per shelf.
If the cabinet is to be scrapped, ensure the cabinet is unplugged from the
power supply and cut off the mains flex close to the back of the cabinet. Be
mindful of the risk of animals or children becoming trapped in the appliance -
either remove or secure doors if necessary.
WARNING
• Ensure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before
performing any cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not cover the grilles or block the entry or exhaust of airflow by
placing objects up against the refrigeration unit.
• Should manual defrosting be necessary, turn off the refrigeration
system and allow the ice to melt by air circulation. Do not use
mechanical methods to remove ice, as this may damage the
refrigeration circuit.
• Do not use any electrical devices or appliances inside the food
storage compartment.
This cabinet is designed to operate within a specific climatic class environment.
See the cabinet rating label inside the cabinet for climate class number.
Climate class Ambient temperature Relative humidity
325°C 60%
430°C 55%
540°C 40%
7 (tropical) 35°C 75%
The cabinet includes relevant hazard symbols that may be associated with the cooler.

Positioning the Cabinet
Fridge
Location
The location of the fridge may be the single most important decision that will
extend its life and ensure economical, high performance. Allow space for the
doors 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.
The fridge is designed to keep an internal temperature range of 0°C to 5°C
in environments up to 35°C. Operation in environments above 35°C will
result in excessive product temperatures and energy consumption, and will
void warranty cover.
The fridge has been tested for electrical safety to climate class 5 (40°C
@40% relative humidity).
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 fridge.
Never store cardboard cartons or other items on top of the refrigeration unit.
IMPORTANT
Ensure minimum ventilation clearances are met.

Shelves
The fridge 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.

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 on the sign front panel.
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 fridge 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 fridge is turned on. If the lights do
not come on, check the light switches on the sign front panel
and switch them on (see “Lighting” below).
Refrigeration
System
The refrigeration system will start a few seconds after the
fridge is turned on.

Loading Product
Let the fridge 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 fridge.
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 as this may stop the doors
from shutting or break the door glass.

Electronic Controller
Introduction The fridge 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 fridge 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.

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 fridge 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

cabinet side removed.
3. Swing the sign out from
the cabinet and unplug the
3× electronic controller
plugs, the one sign plug,
and 4× terminals of LED
switches. Lift the sign off
and place aside.
4. Brush the condenser coil
with a soft brush to
remove any dust and fluff.
