Energy saving tips
This equipment is cooled by energy-efficient R600a refrigerant. To keep running costs as low
as possible always:
•Position the equipment away from heat sources.
•Make sure the air can circulate freely around the equipment, don’t block ventilation
grid.
•Ensure that products being stored are below room temperature upon entry.
•Make sure the door is opened as little as possible whilst in use and closed as quickly
as possible to prevent unnecessary temperature fluctuations.
Important Information
The refrigerator contains environment-friendly, non ozone depleting refrigerant R600a. As
R600a is a flammable gas, it is important to avoid damage to the refrigeration circuit during
transport and installation. If the refrigeration circuit is damaged, avoid using a naked flame in
the vicinity of the refrigerator and connecting power to the refrigerator. Also make sure there
is good ventilation in the room. If you are in doubt please contact your supplier.
– WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the equipment enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction.
– WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
– WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit

Warning Alarms
This refrigerator has been designed to provide both an audible and visual alarm should any of
the following situations occur:
•Door is left open for a set period
•Internal air temperature goes outside the set parameters, either too high or too low
•Internal ‘load’ temperature goes outside the set parameters, either too high or too low
Should one of these alarms occur this can be muted by pressing on the controller.
The ‘load’ temperature is a simulated temperature which is intended to provide an indication
of the temperature of the refrigerator’s contents (e.g. a 5ml sample). The temperature of a
refrigerator’s contents will change more slowly (up or down) than the air temperature within
that refrigerator should there be a fault or the door is left open.
Remote alarm contacts
All ES series laboratory refrigerators include remote alarm contacts and these terminal
contacts enable the user to connect to a remote control station; these contacts can be found on
the rear of the cabinet. WARNING: These contacts must only be accessed by a competent
electrician.
In order to use these contacts the following must be carried out:
1. The refrigerator MUST be disconnected from the power supply before removing the
terminal cover.
2. Unscrew the cover (figure 1) on the right hand side of the rear of the cabinet to expose
the connectors (figure 2).
3. Use the right hand outer positions that correspond to the left hand cable positions for
your connections using 0.75mm cable stripped to 0.6mm.
4. Depress the larger slot above the cable entrance on the right hand side with a small
electrical screwdriver. This allows the cable to be inserted into the slot directly below.
In the event of a door open alarm, high or low temperature alarm or power failure a remote
relay will switch within the controller to make an electrical circuit.
Figure 1 Figure 2

11
Please note that the contacts supplied are voltage free. A voltage of between 12V DC and
230V AC can be connected at the contacts. The maximum load must not exceed 2A. The
minimum power rating is 500mA / 12V AC.
In a normal condition (i.e. no alarm) the relay OPENS the contact for the remote alarm
facility.
In an alarm condition the relay CLOSES the contact for the remote alarm facility.

Maintenance and Service of your Thermo Refrigerator
Defrosting
All laboratory refrigerators feature automatic defrosting and, in normal conditions, means
that no manual defrosting is required. However, in certain conditions (e.g. when the
refrigerator is very full or when any new items of are stored in the refrigerator) frost may
form on the rear wall of the equipment as the compressor must run for long periods of time.
As automatic defrosting takes place while the compressor is not running the refrigerator may
not defrost completely before the compressor restarts. In these instances some manual
defrosting may be required.
Before manually defrosting the cabinet, make sure the power lead is disconnected from the
mains. Any loose frost found on the evaporator can be removed carefully using a wooden or
plastic scrapper.
WARNING: Do not use any knives or sharp metallic objects to remove frost.
Alternatively a non-scheduled defrost can sometimes be carried out as follows:
Cleaning
•Your refrigerator should be cleaned regularly.
•Before cleaning you MUST switch off and disconnect your refrigerator from the
power supply.
•The whole refrigerator except the door gasket can be cleaned with mild cleaning
detergent.
•The door gasket should be cleaned with water only and wiped dry.
•The handle should be cleaned regularly with soap and water.
•Remove shelves/basket/door furniture and wipe with a soft cloth. DO NOT put then
in a dishwasher.
•Detergents containing abrasives or acids are not suitable for the cleaning.
•When all cleaning has been completed and accessories replaced, reconnect the plug
with dry hands.
