INSTALLATION

Locating the Cabinet
Ensure the following instructions are observed as this is vital for proper and trouble-free operation.

• Do not install the cabinet outdoors.
• Locate the appliance in a dry and well ventilated place.
• The unit must be positioned on a level surface.
• Do not install in the vicinity of heating radiators or other heat sources.
• Do not install the appliance where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not install the appliance where it is exposed to warm draughts or open doors.
• Keep the ventilation grill free of obstructions.
•  Adequate allowance should be made for door openings.

Ventilation

• Allow 150mm clearance between walls, ceiling and the appliance. This is essential for optimal performance and reliability

Power Supply

• The appliance must not be plugged into a multiple outlet power board.
• The appliance is supplied with a flexible power cord fitted with a 3-pin plug.
• The socket used must be properly earthed and fuse/RCD protected.
• See the rating label inside the cabinet for supply voltage, frequency and current draw.
• Power cable should not be placed next to heat source such as room heater or other electrical appliance.
• Do not turn off power before consulting the person responsible.
• Mark the power source clearly, so the refrigerator is not unplugged or turned off accidentally.

Before Operating

• Avoid tilting or transporting the appliance in a horizontal position. If the appliance were to be tilted, it must be left to stand in an upright position and not plugged in for at least 6 hours.
• Remove all the packaging material before using the appliance.
• Start the appliance only if it has been installed as described.

OPERATION

Start-up

• Connect the appliance to the mains power supply, the appliance will start working without requiring further operation.
• The thermostat has been pre-set by factory, there is no need to adjust unless requiring different internal temperature.

Using the controller

• For solid lid models (as per below picture), adjust the thermostat using the dial below to set the appliance’s internal temperature, moving clock-wise to achieve lower internal temperature. You should only make small adjustment and wait 24 hours to see whether further adjustment is required.

• The orange switch (on selective models) is used to activate Fast Freezing mode. It can be used for first time operation, or when fast freezing is required. Turn the Fast Freezing switch off within 24 hours.

• The green indicator (on selective models) indicates valid power supply.

• The red indicator (on selective models) indicates an alarm condition when internal temperature of the appliance is higher than normal. This can happen when the lid is left open or warm products are loaded. The alarm indicator will automatically turn off once above condition resolved, depending on the situation, this can take up to 24 hours.

• For glass lid models, the thermostat can be accessed by removing two screws from the base of the ventilated service panel on the left hand side of the unit. THE UNIT MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO REMOVING THIS PANEL. The unit can have the internal temperature lowered by turning the dial clockwise. NOTE: You should only make small adjustment and wait 24 hours to see whether further adjustment is required.

Digital thermometer

• The digital thermometer measures and displays the internal temperature. The battery should be replaced when the brightness of the LCD display appears to be weak or dim. To change the batteries access the rear of the temperature display by removing two screws from the base of the ventilated service panel on the left hand side of the unit. THE UNIT MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO REMOVING THIS PANEL. The battery compartment is then on the back of the temperature display and can be opened by sliding the cover to the left, replace with LR44 type batteries.

PRODUCT LOADING AND STORAGE

IMPORTANT: Run the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before loading.
WARNING: WARNING: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant inside the appliance.

Start-up

• Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and warm water before loading.
• Ensure there is free circulation of air between the products.
• Do not overstock the appliance.
• Keep refrigerator lid openings to a minimum.
• Maximum recommended shelf load (for each basket) is specified in section 3 of this manual. Do not overstock.

NOTE: Bromic cannot be responsible for loss of stock or damage to stock.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any maintenance. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out of the outlet.

WARNING: Exposure to significant water ingress will void warranty and cause potential safety issues. If the unit should be exposed to water, please contact the manufacturer immediately.

IMPORTANT: Warranty may be void if there is no evidence of preventative maintenance is performed on the appliance.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Remove the products and transfer to a suitable location prior to cleaning the inside of the cabinet.
• Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Never use a water hose or a high-pressure jet to clean.
• Do not use sharp or pointed objects for cleaning.
• Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with a clean damp cloth or with a neutral cleanser.
• Dry all surfaces with a dry cloth.

Defrosting

• The freezer should be defrosted when ice is approximately 5mm thick. A thick layer of ice built-up may reduce the freezer’s cooling capacity and increase energy consumption.
• To ensure correct operation of the appliance, we recommend to defrost at least twice a year
• Follow below procedure to defrost
• Plan your defrosting in advance, preferably when there is no or limited stock in the freezer
• 4 hours before defrosting, activate Fast Freezing mode (refer to section 5 of this manual) to further freeze the food stock, getting them ready for temporary relocation.
• Disconnect the appliance from power supply.
• Remove all frozen food and store them temporarily in another freezer or insulated container.
• Remove all baskets, leave the lid fully open, the defrost is now in progress until there is no ice left inside the appliance. You can use the included ice scraper to remove the ice.
• Never use electric heater, warm water or hairdryers for defrosting.
• Locate the external drain plug, put a container with at least 1 litre capacity underneath the drain ready to collect defrosted water.
• Pull out half way the external drain plug, rotate it until the water hole points downward to the container.
• Pull out the internal drain plug to start drain defrosted water.
• Once all water is drained, reattach both the internal and external drain plugs with the drain hole facing up.
• Clean the internal with dry cloths.
• Plug the appliance back in to resume normal working condition.

Replace battery of the digital thermometer
The battery of the digital thermometer should be replaced when the brightness of the LCD display appears to be weak or dim. Remove the thermometer gently using a flat head screw driver, remove the drained batteries located at the back of the thermometer and replace them with new LR44 type batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IMPORTANT: Repairs on the unit must be carried out by an authorised and licensed person only. Contact the manufacturer or an approved service agent for any repairs needed.

• Check power supply and green indicator
• Adjust temperature control dial to a
• colder position

ENVIRONMENTAL AND DISPOSAL NOTES

These refrigerated cabinets are designed to high standards of environmental protection and recycling convenience. Cyclopentane, an environmentally friendly foaming agent, has been used. Cyclopentane is distinguished by zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP). The refrigerant used and contained within a hermetically tight circuit is environmentally friendly and does not contain chlorine and zero ODP.
The device must be disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations. The WEEE regulations must be observed.
In the interest of preventing environmental nuisance and promoting re-use of the high quality materials employed, used refrigeration equipment must be collected for expert disposal and recycling. Therefore, observe the following disposal regulations:

• The cabinet must not be discarded with regular waste.
• The refrigeration circuit must not be damaged.
• Before disposal, make it unserviceable by disconnecting the power plug and cutting off the power cable.
