PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
HOW TO USE
BEFORE USE
- Remove the shipping package, tape, etc, and leave doors open and ventilate for a while.
- The unit is cleaned before shipment. However, clean the compartment interior after delivery.
- Please insert a power supply plug into the wall outlet, single-phase to cat voltage.
- Allow the unit to operate for about 1 hour to cool the compartment before placing items in the cooler.
WAIT 5 MINUTES OR MORE BEFORE RE-STARTING
- Restarting the unit immediately after it has been turned off may cause fuses to blow and activate the circuit breaker, the compressor may be overloaded, and/or other damage may occur.
DRAIN TRAY
- Defrosting is performed automatically and drain water is collected in the drain tray.
- Water in the drain tray is evaporated automatically. In humidity, there is a large amount of water in the drain tray, so please throw away drain water once a day.
EFFICIENT USE
- To prevent cold air from escaping, open and close the door quickly and keep the door open for as short a time as possible.
- Please install the unit in a well-ventilated place.
SHELF HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The shelf height can be adjusted. Arrange the shelves under the dimensions of
the items to be placed in the cooler.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
For the showcase cooler, the interior temp. during fully loaded at the factory
default setting of position at 4-5 will be kept at 0-10’C., If the ambient
temp. is extremely high or the stuffing food inside is too much, which might
cause the interior temp. a little bit higher. So, it would be better turn the
thermostat right so as to maintain the right temp. On the opposite, if the
ambient temp. is very low or empty loaded, or in less food storage, the
interior temp. might be able to reach minus 0’C, and in return to cause the
evaporator ice up; Thus, it would better switch the thermostat back to left to
relieve something.
CONTROL ON KSM SERIES ECS-180 instructions
Here are the instructions to change Celsius Degrees to Fahrenheit degrees:
Step 1
To make the manipulations easier, refer to the buttons as follows:
- First, you need to press the “D” button for at least 10 seconds until “HO” appears. Then you need to press “D” again a couple of times (to go down) until “H7” appears.
- Then, press the “C” button to show “Dr”. That means the change has been made from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
- As soon as the setting has been changed, the “E2” alarm will appear, we will go to step 2 for the next step.
Step 2
- To cancel this alarm, press the “A” button for at least 3 seconds to enter settings (“St” will appear). At this point, press “A” again to change the value of temperature from 3 to 37 (in Fahrenheit degrees) and press set to save the change, it will bring you back to “St”. Then, press the “B” button (to go up) until you see “PO”. Then press “A” and digits”00″ will appear. At this step, the menu requires a password which is 55. Press “B” until it reaches the proper number and then press “A” to confirm, it will bring you back to “PO”. Then, to cancel the E2 alarm, press the “B” button until you see the settings.
“D1” then press “A” button to enter the settings and change the settings to “00” and confirm by pressing “A” and the alarm is cancelled. It will bring you back do “D1”. You need to go up to the settings “C 1” Here is a menu of what needs to be changed when you switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit, the rest remain the same.
- Every time you get to a setting (“C1” as example), press the “A” button to access the value and use the “B” and “D” to go up (B) or down (D). After changing the value, always press “A” to save the change of values. You repeat the operation for all the settings included in the previous table and the rest is all default and doesn’t need any change.
- After all the changes were made, you just need to wait 10 to 15 seconds, and it will switch back to the temperature display. At that point, the changes have been made and will remain in the controller.
Here are the direct instructions on how to adjust the set point on the ECS-180 temperature controller:
- Locate the set button (button A). First, press and hold that button for 3 seconds until the letters “St” will appear and release.
- Press set (A) and release one more time to access the set point.
- To change its value, use the “B” button to raise it and the “D” button to lower it*
- When the desired set point is reached, press “set” (A) again one more time to confirm the change and allow 15 to 20 seconds until the controller saves the change and goes back to the temperature display on itself.
Please note that this machine has an internal temperature differential that works as a protection for the compressor. The way the differential works is that at whatever temperature the unit will be set at, the compressor will work and cool the cabinet down until it reaches the chosen set point then it will shut itself up. It will allow a differential of 4 degrees before starting its operation back. The reason is to protect the compressor from doing short cycles (on/off) repetitively. Doing so can burn out the compressor, the same as flickering the alight switch very fast, it will burn the light bulb. The compressor works the same so it should be considered when adjusting the set point.
PLACING ITEMS IN THE SHOWCASE
