1 Introduction.
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the Fjorda self-service cabinet from Smeva. The name
Smeva is your guarantee of quality and reliability.
The Fjorda is a vertical refrigerated display cabinet, characterises by a wide variety of versions.
The cabinet is designed to display cold prepacked goods. And is not designed to cool down goods.
This cabinet meets the highest requirements. This does not mean that the cabinet does not has to be
treated and maintained properly. This manual can help you do this.
A troubleshooting list for minor malfunctions that are easily rectified is also included.
See chapter 6 Minor Malfunction List.
For more serious faults and/or defects in the cabinet contact your Smeva dealer.
__________________________________________________________________5

2 Putting the Cabinet into Service.
For correct operation of the cabinet, the following instructions should be followed.
2.1 External Influences.
-Avoid placing the cabinet in direct sunlight.
Thermal radiation can raise the product temperature to an unacceptable level even when the air
temperature display in the cabinet shows the required value.
-Keep the lighting intensity in the store as low as possible.
By this we mean the extra lighting that may shine on the display area from outside the cabinet. No
spotlights should therefore be directed at the display area.
Moreover, light is one of the main causes of discoloration of fresh meat and other products.
-Avoid placing heat-emitting equipment in the immediate vicinity of the cabinet.
Discuss this with your installers!
Heat sources include radiators, heaters, ovens, heat-emitting machinery, spotlights, air curtains at
entrances.
-Avoid air-disturbing factors, such as air-conditioning units, inlet grilles and fans that will
affect the operation of the cabinet.
Draughts can cause excessive temperature raises.
An open-cooled cabinet is sensitive to draughts. Therefore, take care, with air heating and extractor
systems. Doors, windows, entrances and exits can also adversely affect the effectiveness of the
cabinet by causing draughts.
Take the necessary measures to prevent draughts.
__________________________________________________________________6

2.2 Load Arrangement.
Before start to load the cabinet it must be carefully cleaned and have reached the required
temperature. The self-service cabinet is only mentioned for pre-packed goods.
- Make sure that the display is loaded in the right way. Because it can affect the air circulation
and temperature.
- Only load the cabinet with pre-cooled goods.
- Make sure the goods are not stacked too close together. In this way sufficient air circulation around
the goods is ensured
- Respect the maximum load level. If goods are piled up too high the air circulation will be affected as
well.
- Make sure that the goods are not staged in front of the air discharge at the back, neither on top of the
air return in the front.
- Take care that the openings of the inlet grill are not blocked by products, shelves, doilies, etc.
This can impede air circulation, which in turn may result in unacceptably high product temperatures!
__________________________________________________________________7

- Use of Shelving, Front risers, Price marking rail, Ticket holder, Night blinds.
The shelves can be moved in 3 different angles (0°, 7,5°, 15°). They can also be moved up and down
the shelf rail. When (re)moving the shelves the lighting plug must be disconnected in advance. The
max load for the shelves is 60Kg/m. with reinforcement strip 90Kg/m.
If shelf grid is used a transparent persplex layer is required to distribute the cold air in the correct way.
__________________________________________________________________8

The front riser is a transparent strip at the front of the shelves which keeps the goods in place.
If not installed (correctly), goods could fall out of the shelves! The strips have to be put in the slots at
the front of the shelves.
To put any kind of labels, prices or consumer information in the price marking rail, the transparent
cover can be pulled forward at the top and labels, prices ect. can be slid in.
__________________________________________________________________9

If the Night blinds are closed, the lights will switch off and an energy saving program will set in.
See chapter 2.3 Control panel / Thermostat – Night program.
When the night blind gets pulled out, this has to be done carefully and in a straight motion. First pull
the curtain forwards, then downwards and attach it to the hook. To open the night blind unhook the
curtain and pull it forwards. Then guide the curtain in a careful, straight motion back in place. This
ensures that the night blind winds up equally.
2.3 Control panel / Thermostat.
Based on the product order, the cabinet is equipped with a various range of control units, types and
fabrics.
Like the service switch, the control unit is located behind the kick plate/front panel of the cabinet
section.
For a detailed description and the operation of these control units, see the separate user’s manual for
the control unit fitted in your cabinet.
- Temperature settings.
The temperature is normally controlled by the air off temperature . Factory setting Set point at -4°C.
Differential 2 Kelvin.
_________________________________________________________________10

- Night program.
If the night blinds are closed and the lights are switched off the set point may be raised with 2 Kelvin.
The refrigeration system can still generate the right product temperatures with a higher temperature
cycle.
- Defrost program.
For low temperature applications (< +2°C) the evaporator coil can be fitted with an electric defrosting
element for defrosting the coil.
For higher temperatures the ice will cycle off by the fans only. (with normal store conditions.)
The defrost cycle is started minimum of 4 times each day to defrost the ice on the evaporator coil. The
defrost termination probe located in the coil will start up the cooling again if the maximum defrost
termination temperature is reached before the end of the set defrost length.
Factory settings; 4 defrost cycles each 24 hours.
Cycle off defrost length 45 minutes. Defrost termination temperature +6°C
Electrical defrost length 30 minutes. Defrost termination temperature +8°C
- Thermometer - display.
The temperature displayed is normally the air off temperature from the evaporator coil. During defrost
cycle the temperature will raise for a short period of time.
This will not effect the average temperature off the goods over the entire day.
N.B. If the cabinet has corners, the length of the cooling element (evaporator) may be shorter
than the length of the cabinet, as a result the temperature in the cooled corners may be
different from other parts.
2.4 Lighting. (if present)
Tube light T8 and T5 are located in the canopy and/or under the shelves.
To avoid breaking of the tubes and glass fall on to the goods the tubes are guarded by plastic hygienic
transparent covers.
The light switch is situated behind the front panel in the left unit section (viewed from the consumer
side)
The light switch may have a double function: depending on the controller type a night program starts
automatically when the light is switched off. The night mode only works properly when the night blinds
are closed.
2.5 Connection of Outlets. (if present)
The Fjorda with one presentation level can be fitted with wall sockets (4) for connecting equipment
such as scales and cash registers. Designed for a maximum load 230 Volt - 16 Ampere.
Next to the wall socket there is a plastic cover in which a cross can be cut.
The lead from the equipment can be neatly stowed away by folding it double and pressing it inwards
through the cross.

3 Cleaning Instructions.
BEFORE YOU START TO CLEAN OR WORK ON THE CABINET MAKE SURE THAT THE
POWERSUPPLY IS SWITCHED OFF!!!
Possible shock hazards from shelf lighting, fan plate assemblies etc. may occur if you work in
the interior of the cabinet.
Based on the product order specification a service switch is located behind the kick plate/front
panel of each cabinet section. If there is no service switch, please switch of the electrical
current by using the switch located in the central fuse box in the shop.
The exterior of the cabinet can be cleaned with a damp cloth or with little lukewarm soapy water.
Never use aggressive detergents.
Ensure that (soapy) water can never run into the switch box behind the kick plate!
The interior can be cleaned with warm soapy water and rinse with plenty of water.
Never use aggressive detergents.
If the bottom shelves are moved to clean the base and evaporator area make sure the power is
switched off in order to prevent:
- possible shock hazard
- running fans, moving parts
- hot defrost element
In case of cleaning with detergents, always read the instructions of the used product in advance.
4 General Maintenance Instructions.
It is recommended that you have your cabinet inspected by a qualified engineer at least once a year.
In addition national regulations may lay down a legally required inspection frequency per year.
During this inspection, attention has to be paid to the setting of the control system and the functioning
of the cooling equipment. The cooling circuit is examined for leakage and the fans are inspected.
Technical cleaning and removal of dust in the evaporator coil and air circulation system.
Cleaning and inspection of the drainage system.
Consult your Smeva dealer regarding maintenance inspections.
5 End of lifecycle, Disassembly, Disposal.
By the development and material choice of the cabinet, a 15 year lifecycle is considered, depending
on use and circumstances. The cabinet has a factory warranty of 1 year.
Damage caused by third parties is not covered by the warranty.
Due to abrasion some parts can be replaced during the lifecycle. These are electrical components as
control switches, fan motors, tube lighting. External components as price rails, nose profiles, ect.
The cabinet can be handed over for revision of technical elements and appearance.
Refrigerated cabinets decommissioned for disposal must be disposed of in a proper manner. The end
user is responsible for ensuring proper disposal by law.
For disposal purposes, distinction is to be made between
-Operating materials/substances (refrigerant and refrigerator oil or coolant)
-The cabinet body materials (metals, plastics, polyurethane foam ect.)
-Electronic parts and light bulbs (controllers, ballast boxes and tube lights)
If a cabinet is getting demolished, all materials/substances have to be transported and disposed by
law of local, present, governmental regulations!
For cabinet materials see chapter 8 Technical specifications
.

6Minor Malfunction List.
This list has been drawn up on the assumption that the cabinet has been functioning normally
and that, while being used normally, malfunctions suddenly occur.
6.1 General Failure.
If all of the functions have failed, check the power supply. Further check the fuses in the group box
and in particular the group to which the cabinet is connected. Check that the earth leakage circuit
breaker is still switched on. If you cannot find anything wrong, contact your installer!
6.2 Partial Failure.
If only a number of functions on your cabinet are not working and you are unable to rectify this by
turning the function in question on and off: Contact your installer at once! The installer can, for
instance, check the fuses in the cabinet's switch box/control unit and, after rectifying the problem,
replace them. Any other faults can also be fixed by a qualified engineer.
NEVER OPEN THE SWITCH BOX!!! It is live, EVEN when the main switch is in the “off”
position.
6.3 Lighting failure.
If the lighting fails, check the following:
Always turn the power off or disconnect the socket when carrying out one of the following procedures
and make sure your hands are dry.
If the fluorescent lamps are glowing red at the ends, start by replacing the STARTER. If this does not
solve the problem, replace the lamp. If this has no effect either, contact your installer! If the light
intensity is reduced, check whether the ends of the fluorescent lamp are black. If they are, replace the
lamp and the starter, as they are worn out. Note the colour of the lamp: the colour number is shown on
the lamp.
If the fluorescent lamps need to be changed, it has to be done the same way as with any other type of
fixture: turn the lamp including the cover until a distinct “click” is heard and the lamp can then be
removed by pulling it downwards.
6.4 Ice-Blocked Evaporator.
Switch the cabinet on manual defrosting. See control panel / thermostat instructions.
If this is not possible, switch of the cabinet for several ours till the evaporator is completely free of ice.
First unload the cabinet because the set cooling temperature can no more be ensured.
If the problem keeps occurring contact a qualified service engineer.
_________________________________________________________________13

7 Product Identification.
To provide you with rapid assistance in the event of questions or defects, your cabinet is equipped
with a product identification label. Based on the product order specification, the product identification
label is always situated at the bottom left side of the air discharge panel at the back.
Should information be required concerning a particular component or if a component is defective, copy
the information shown on this label and pass it on to your installer. This will ensure rapid rectification of
the problem.
