2. When it comes to buying a new cold room, please make sure
that an old/redundant refrigeration is disposed of safely and
legally. It’s best to remove the doors before disposing off in
order to ensure safety.

3. Don’t unpack the cold room by yourself. It needs to be carried
out by the installer, who will remove all interior and exterior
packaging and accessories.

4. When it comes to installing cold room, the intended site should be
level to facilitate precise erection and to ensure correct operation
of self-closing doors and appropriate drainage of condensate
from the evaporator. While installing a freezer room, the
provision needs to be made for a 90mm floor. You should get the
appropriate assessment first to avoid the risk of slips, trips and
other potential Health & Safety risks. Consideration must be given
to non-slip floor coverings or mats.
Installation

5. Modular cold room should be accurately connected to the mains
electrical supply during assembly and installation. All necessary
electrical components will be supplied. If you ever decide to shift
the cold room, contact a competent electrician.

6. It is highly recommended to remove the key from the lock
during normal working use and stored in a safe place. If left in
the lock, there is a possibility for the key to be damaged or
knocked and could be resulted in having a new lock fitted.

7. Always make sure that the room in which the
equipment is installed is properly ventilated. The fans
and condensing unit produce substantial amounts of
heat and if you will operate it in unventilated spaces,
particularly in warm weather, will rapidly cause the
ambient temperature to ascend to extreme
temperatures. This may cause motor and compressor
overheating while creating possible damage to the
windings.

+1°C/+4°C (34°F/39°F).

11. Cold room’s controller will start an automatic defrost cycle in
which the refrigeration system is turned off, whereas the electric
defrost system is switched on. This defrosts the evaporator coil
and this operation increases the temperature of the cold room
to some extent for some time but does not affect the stored
product. When the defrost operation is in progress, the defrost
indicator on the control panel will light up with ‘dEF’ displayed
until the defrost cycle has finished.”

12. Cold room comes with a built in audio/visual Hi-Lo alarm. If the
room temperature surpasses the factory set alarm temperature
and duration, the control will display a temperature alarm and
trigger a sounder. You can cancel the alarm by pressing the ‘ i ’
button.
