Proper usage of the Refrigerator

During the initial startup and continuous usage of the refrigerator, the following procedures should be followed.

Location of Refrigerator

Your refrigerator should be placed at a location that satisfies the following conditions. By doing so, the optimum operating results can be achieved.

1.Power the refrigerator in a dedicated power socket. The voltage requirement is 220 VAC and 50 hz. When started, do not place any products in the refrigerator.

2.When the unit initially starts up, the buzzer alarm may sound. This is normal. You can push the buzzer alarm button to cancel the sound. The buzzer alarm continues to work until the upper bottle temperature reaches the range of 2 to 8 .

3.Make sure that both sensor bottles have glycerin solution of 10% concentration. Please refer to item 4 in the Operation section for details.

4.This refrigerator has been factory preset to operate at a range of 2-8 1. It is not necessary to adjust the temperature set point.

5.It usually takes several hours for the unit to reach the preset temperature. Once the unit's temperature is stable, check the sensor bottle temperature to see if it matches the set point.

6.Turn on the light for the interior. Inspect the light to makes sure it functions properly.

7.Once a thorough inspection of the unit is completed, products can be loaded into the refrigerator. Beware to not load too many warm products into the unit at one time.

Remote alarm contact

The terminals for the remote alarm contact are located on the back of the unit cover panel. The contacts are designed for 30 VDC and 2A load. The remote alarm contacts work in synchronization with the buzzer alarm on the refrigerator. Therefore, the remote alarm can be terminated by pushing the buzzer alarm button. However, in case of a power outage, the remote alarm contacts cannot be controlled by the buzzer alarm.

Remote alarm condition: Open for Normal, Close for Abnormal

1)Firm, level floor surface

Installing the unit on a firm and flat floor surface reduces the chance of excessive noise and vibration.

2)A place that is far away from any heat source

Avoid placing the unit near any heat dissipating devices such as a gas stove, radiator, oven and other source of heat. The refrigerator would lose its efficiency once the insulation is exposed to heat.

3)Do not install a refrigerator in direct sunlight

If a unit is in direct sunlight, it may not function properly and its life expectancy can be shortened.

4)Dry area

Avoid placing the unit near damp areas such as a water faucet and sink.

5)Clean area

Avoid installing a unit in or near chemical materials and materials that might have out- gassing property. Also avoid dusty locations.

6)Good ventilation

There must be sufficient space around the unit for air ventilation. Lack of such space will reduce the unit's cooling capability.

7)Ground protection

Grounding the refrigerator will prevent electrical shock to operators if its electrical insulation becomes weak.

An electrical power plug with a ground prong must be used to power the unit. This is to prevent electrical shock.

Do not use water lines to replace a properly installed ground wire for ground protection. This is because many water lines are actually built with non-conductors such as plastic.

Never use gas lines as the ground protection for the refrigerator. This action can be very dangerous.

Never use a telephone line or lightening rod as a grounding protection for the refrigerator. This is because during lightening, there is a strong current present which is extremely dangerous.

8)Do not place any objects on top of the refrigerator.

Do not place the unit in an area where objects can fall directly onto it. This is to avoid damaging the refrigerator.
