POWER FAILURE

A power cut does not cause the loss of any accumulated historical data and no re-programming is necessary. The controller’s battery is continually charged and provides emergency back up under normal power failure conditions.

MAINTENANCE

The cabinets are fully automatic in operation. Cleaning, loading printer paper, and changing out the print cartridge is the only maintenance required. Read the following topics.

CLEANING

Exterior: The exterior of the cabinet is stainless steel and if cared for correctly will keep its ‘as new’ finish for many years. Normal day to day cleaning should be carried out with a soft cloth and soapy water. Always wipe the cabinet vertically in the same direction as the grain

in the stainless steel. Whilst stainless steel is a very strong and robust material, the stain smooth finish can be spoiled by wiping against the grain. Never use abrasive materials or cleaners, or chemical cleaners, as they can damage the surface and cause corrosion. Occasionally, the exterior should be polished with a good stainless steel polish to protect the surface.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemicals or scouring pads on the control panel. Clean the control panel only with a soft damp cloth. Avoid excess water on the control panel, and other areas where electrical components are fitted.

Interior: The racking can be removed for easy cleaning (see Fig 1). This should be done on a regular basis with warm water and a soft cloth, dry thoroughly afterwards. To remove the racking and shelf supports follow this procedure: First remove the shelves, then remove the shelf supports by

grasping firmly in the center and lifting slightly. Turn the shelf support towards Fig 1 the interior of the cabinet by pushing it in the center as you twist the support

through 90°. The shelf support will be released. (Note: the supports are designed to be anti-tilt and you may therefore experience some resistance at first which will be overcome with practice). When all shelves have been removed, remove the racking by lifting up and over the nylon retaining blocks.

Door Gasket

Clean the gasket weekly with warm soapy water and a soft cloth taking care

not to damage it. DO NOT use a sharp knife to clean or scrape the gasket. Regularly check the gasket for any damage. Damage can be caused by

striking the gasket with a sharp object such as the corner of a tray. Damaged

gaskets do not seal correctly and can increase the amount of electricity

consumed, seriously affecting the efficiency and performance of the cabinet.

Damaged gaskets are easily replaced. To fit a new gasket - simply pull out the old gasket and push the new gasket into the channel (gasket retainer) at the center and work along the gasket pushing it into the channel, continue in the same way on the other three sides, pushing the corners in last (see Fig 2).

Condenser Cleaning

The condenser, which is part of the refrigeration unit, is sited in the unit compartment and requires cleaning, approximately 4 times per year or when the LED indicates. To clean the condenser, disconnect main power supply before starting, then brush the fins vertically with a stiff brush, taking care not to damage the fins or push dirt or dust further in and vacuum away. Remember to reconnect main power supply once finished.
