USING THE UNIT – DANFOSS CONTROLLER

Operation is simple, just keep it connected to the correct power supply and the refrigerator will maintain the internal temperature it has been set to. Keep the doors and / or drawers closed as much as possible to avoid unnecessary run time.
The controller displays the current internal temperature.

The Refrigerator will automatically defrost as needed, there is no set time for defrost. Push and immediately release the “melting” or defrost button for a manual defrost.
Note: Holding the defrost button in too long will shut the controller off.

Adjusting the set temperature lower will NOT cause the system to lower the temperature faster. When on, the refrigeration system is always operating at maximum.
The temperature was set at the factory at 38º F, but you can adjust it to your own selected temperature. 30 seconds after adjustment, the display automatically reverts to showing the current temperature.

The internal fan will be on when the compressor is on and when the doors are closed.
The compressor and condenser fan motor will only be on when the controller senses an increase in internal cabinet temperature passed the set point.
If equipped with glass doors, holding the SC button in will turn the cabinet light on or off.

HELP

FOR THE SERVICE TECH – R290

Refrigeration service should only be attempted by a trained trade professional certified to work on R290 systems.

Here are some critical service items.
This list does not qualify anyone to service the unit. It is a reminder and checklist for the service tech. Keep these in mind for R290 service:

• Wire nuts are NOT to be used when changing an electrical part.
• The switches in this product are sealed, only exact replacements may be used.
• The process tubes are to be used for service access.
• Cut out (with tubing cutter) refrigeration components that are to be replaced. Do NOT un-braze.
• Because R290 can be vented into the air during service, the venting MUST be in an area free from flame or spark. It must also be in a well ventilated area, with a nearby open window or door.
• A sign noting service of a system containing propane must be attached to the unit during refrigeration service.
• A combustible gas leak detector must be used to inform anyone in the area when propane is present in the air.

Other Information:
Evacuation: It is critical that a refrigeration system be leak free and internally dry. A thorough evacuation with a good vacuum pump with a micron gauge attached is the only way to ensure that the system is dry and ready for a charge of refrigerant.
Charging: The system is critically charged and the proper type and amount MUST be weighed in.
Overcharge symptoms: Unit will cool properly but the suction line temperature will be unusually cold. Compressor run time will be longer than normal.
Undercharge symptoms: Long run time, poor cooling and a hot compressor dome are the main symptoms of an undercharge.
