Disposal Requirements
This appliance contains components and materials which can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of correctly. Disposal of this appliance should be carried out by a suitably licensed waste contractor in accordance with national laws and regulations which may be in force at the time.

Electrical Safety
This equipment shall be connected to an electrical supply protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD). This may include a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) type socket, or through a Residual Current Circuit Breaker with overload protection (RCBO) supplied circuit.
Should it be necessary to replace the fuse, the replacement fuse must be of the value stated on the serial label for the appliance.

Locating the appliance
After unpacking, clean (cleaning directions supplied within this manual) and allow the appliance to stand for 60 minutes before turning on.

• Ensure the appliance is situated on a firm, level surface, away from both hot and cold air sources, as this will affect its performance.
• Place the appliance in a location so as not to exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature. Areas where air is projected directly into the front of the appliance (for example from air conditioning units) should also be avoided.
• The appliance produces warm air when operating normally and requires adequate ventilation. The dimensions indicated are a minimum.
• Connect the appliance to a suitable power supply. Do not connect or disconnect the appliance with wet hands. The appliance will turn on automatically displaying the actual internal temperature of the appliance. If this does not happen and button 3 is ‘pulsing’ press and hold button 3 for 3 seconds to turn on the appliance (see controller operation for button identification).
• As the operating temperature has been pre-set no adjustments are required. Allow the appliance to reach its normal operating temperature before loading with product.

Operating Instructions

Display Icons and Buttons

Standby

Pressing button 4 for 3 seconds will turn the unit on or into standby. When in standby, the display will show ‘oFF’. When operating normally, the display will show the internal temperature.

Set Point

To display the appliance Set Point, with the display showing the temperature, press and hold button 1.

To amend the Set Point press and hold button 1, then while keeping button 1 pressed use buttons 2 and 3 to set the desired value. If the Set Point cannot be adjusted to the value required please contact your authorised Foster dealer for advice

When button 1 is released the new value will be stored automatically.

Keypad Security Settings
We advise that this function is used to prevent unauthorised adjustment of the appliance and it’s operating temperature.
Press and release button 1 until the display shows ‘Loc’. Then press and hold button 1 to show the current lock condition of the temperature controller. ‘Yes’ indicates locked, ‘no’ indicates unlocked. Using buttons 2 or 3 change the display to either lock or unlock the controller as required.
Release button 1 and wait 10 seconds or press button 4 once to resume normal operation.

Defrost
The appliance has an automatic defrost function and will defrost periodically each day without any user intervention. This process is normal and does not affect product stored in the appliance. During defrost the appliance can be used as normal.

Shelves, Supports, Loading and Air Flow

The appliance is supplied with adjustable, removable shelves.
Each shelf is capable of holding the weight corresponding to model below:

NOTE – In the event that this cabinet is intended to be tested against EN23953-2 it is strongly advised that additional reinforced shelf arms are to be used in place of the standard items. Please contact Foster U.K. for supply of these.
Do not block air vents with product. A minimum of 50mm should be maintained between the top of the product and the shelf above.
Always ensure air can circulate around/through the stored product. It is important that for optimal energy performance that adequate airflow is maintained around the perimeter of the shelves, and around all stored products.

Other Information

Alarms/Warnings:
During operation the current temperature inside the appliance will be displayed. At certain times this will change to indicate a particular appliance operation or fault. The indicators you may see are as follows:
The temperature alarms are either relative to the set point or an absolute value. This is controlled by the value of parameter ‘ATM’. Where the alarms are relative the low alarm is the set point minus parameter ‘ALR’ and the high alarm is the set point plus ‘AHR’. When the temperature has been outside this value for the value of ‘ATD’ the relevant indicator will be displayed.
hi – The internal temperature of the appliance is higher than described above. Ensure that the door is closed and that the air flow inside is not obstructed by excesive or poor loading of product. The alarm will reset if the temperature falls to a normal level. If this does not happen please contact your authorised dealer or Foster Service.
Lo – The internal temperature of the appliance is lower than described above. Check to ensure that the appliance has not been loaded with product at a lower temperature than the normal appliance operating temperature. If this is not the case please call your authorised dealer or Foster Service.
E1 – Air probe has failed.. Call your authorised dealer or Foster Service to arrange for this to be replaced. During this time the appliance cannot maintain an accurate temperature and all product should be removed and the appliance switched off.
E2 – Evaporator probe has failed. Call your authorised dealer of Foster Service to arrange for this to be replaced.
E3 – The shelf temperature probe has failed. Call your authorised dealer or Foster Service to arrange for this to be replaced.
dEF – Defrost in progress. This is normal and your appliance will carry out a defrost periodically through each 24 hours. The contents of the appliance will be unaffected by this operation.
While in an alarm condition icon 1 will also be illuminated.
(Some indications are only visible periodically during specific appliance operations such as defrost or when activated through use of the appliance).
Probe Function
T1 – Controls the compressor on/off cycle based on the Set Point value located in the air return close to the fans.
T2 – Evaporator probe for defrost control.
T3 – The temperature displayed on the controller. The response is delayed to prevent the display of large changes in the temperature. Over time the displayed temperature will move to align with the T1 temperature subject to product load and appliance use. The probe is located in front of the air duct at the top left corner.

Probe Information

The probe is a type 10k NTC. The probes are identical in characteristics with the T1 and T2 identification markings and different colours being for ease of identification and not for functional reasons. Please refer to the image below for probe identification.

Probe Identification

Probe Resistance

Refrigerant Charge
The refrigerant charge weight can be found on the serial label within the appliance. Where this is not available please refer to the table below. The information below is correct time of printing but is subject to change without prior notice.

Evaporator Fan Motors
The evaporator fan motors will continue to operate during defrost. This is normal and is required for the successful completion of the defrost operation.

Defrost Indication
During defrost icon 4 will be illuminated. The controller display will be determined by the value set in parameter ‘DDM’.
To start a defrost manually press and hold button 3 for 5 seconds. This will turn off the appliance. Continue to hold down button 3 after the appliance has turned off. After a further 2 seconds the display will indicate a defrost has commenced (icon 4 illuminated) and the button can be released. While the defrost function is operating the display will be determined by the value set in parameter DDM.
The defrost function will operate until either the time set in parameter DTO or the temperature set in parameter DLI is reached. Where parameter TE is set to NO defrost will function on a time basis only. Upon completion of the defrost cycle the appliance will resume normal operation with the current temperature displayed.
Note – On this appliance it is normal for the evaporator fans to continue to operate during a defrost cycle.

Maintenance

Condenser Cleaning
The condenser is a Stayclear condenser which does not require cleaning as regularly as a traditional finned condenser may. Care should be taken when cleaning the condenser. Never use a wire brush, abrasive or corrosive materials to clean the condenser.
