OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PROBE AND ACCESS PORTS
As standard, the unit is equipped with a temperature probe inside the chamber. The probe monitors the temperature in the chamber and controls the operation of the compressors.
The main probe also controls temperature alarms. It is possible to connect two different probes to the unit in order to monitor the temperature different places in the unit. You can change the settings on which probe is the main probe.
To install more probes, you can use the premade access port(s) on the back of the unit. Carefully push a screwdriver or similar through the holes. Always seal the holes with putty on both sides of the hole.

DUAL COOLING TECHNOLOGY
Our Integraline models ULUF P390GG / P500GG / P610GG / P820GG comes with dual cooling system. The dual cooling system offers two independent cooling cycles and thereby optimal security of your stored products in the unlikely event of failure in one of the cooling cycles. In case of failure, the other cooling cycle will serve as a backup, guaranteeing that your stored products will be kept at a safe temperature.
FILTERLESS CONSTRUCTION
Arctiko’s dual compressor system is designed as a filter-less system, which prevents malfunctions caused by dust build-up in the filter. This minimizes the maintenance of the cooling system and secures a more stable operation.

REMOTE ALARM CONTACT
The remote alarm contact is located on the backside of the unit.

Follow procedures Never install probes through the door as this will deteriorate the functionality of the door gasket, increase the ice build-up and affect the temperature inside the unit.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

VACUUM VALVE
The vacuum valve helps equalize the pressure inside the unit, which allows the user to open the door without waiting for hours.
WARNING The vacuum valve requires regular attention and cleaning to be fully operational. Misuse could cause the unit to be inaccessible for up to three hours.
WARNING Regular cleaning and ice removal is necessary to maintain full function of the vacuum valve. The cleaning frequency depends on different conditions such as the number of door openings, ambient temperature and humidity at the installation site.
Recommended cleaning procedures
It is important to clean the valve regularly. It is recommended to clean the valve every second week or in case of ice build-up.
1. To clean the valve, pull it out from the exterior side of the door as shown on the illustration below (no tools are required):

2. Rinse the valve on the exterior side with cold tap water for 2 to 5 minutes or until all ice inside the valve is removed. Make sure the vacuum valve is completely dry before inserting it into the tube and be aware that it is inserted correctly (push it firmly until it clicks in).
It is recommended to remove ice build-up around the vacuum valve on the interior side of the unit regularly as well as ice removal from the inner doors and gaskets is recommended to maintain the performance of the unit and the vacuum valve.
3. Before inserting the vacuum valve into the tube in the door, assess the O-ring for any damage or misplacement. Make sure to pull the O-ring all the way to the end, like in the illustration below:
The vacuum valve is removed but the door cannot open
If the door cannot open after removing the vacuum valve from the tube in the door, the tube may be blocked by ice. Carefully use the enclosed key to remove the ice (do not use sharp objects) and clear the passage.

See “Recommended cleaning procedures” to learn how to maintain the vacuum valve. This will reduce the risk of ice build-up in the tube in the door.
