INSTALLATION

For the Installer

• These Instructions contain important information designed to help the user obtain the maximum benefit from their investment in an IMC Ventus Bottle Cooler.
• Please read them carefully before starting work, and consult with the supplier in the event of any queries.
• Be sure to leave this Instruction Manual with the user after installation of the machine is complete.

Procedure

WARNING
The following table shows the weight and the minimum quantity of people required to lift each unit:

• Install the unit on a flat and level floor. Ensure a min 10mm clearance either side of the unit, there is to be a min 20mm clearance at the top and a min 60mm clearance at the back
• The V135 is supplied on castors to aid installation and cleaning. Do not install the unit close to a heat source such as a radiator or a warm air outlet. Ensure that the unit is standing
• level by adjusting the feet on the base of the unit.
• The unit has an automatic defrost cycle and evaporates all the condensate water without the need for a drainage system.

NOTE!

• The castors on the V135 are to aid installation only. The machine is not designed to be used as a mobile unit.
• It is important to install the Bottle Cooler on a flat surface. This ensures that the doors are level. Adjustment is provided via the feet, to enable the installer to level the cabinet.
• Engineer Call-outs in order to level Bottle Coolers, will not be covered under warranty.

REMOVING WOOD DOOR VERSION DOOR FRAME

• The door frame will require removal if you are going to fit a wood panel to the front of the unit.
• Remove the screws holding the top hinge plate on the top of the unit as shown, and remove the hinge plate. The door frame will now lift up and off the bottom hinge pin, once the wood door front has been fitted refitting of the door is a reversal of removal.

FITTING WOOD FRONT TO FRAME

• The wood front panel is simply screwed to the frame using self tapping screws in the door fixing kit, the principle is the same for all sized doors. The wood will require routing on the top and bottom to allow the frame to sit flush on the top and to ensure correct operation of the door locks on the bottom.
• Full dimensional drawings for the wood doors are available by contacting IMC if required.

CHANGING AN LED LIGHT FITTING

• The cabinet interior is illuminated by a LED light strip fitting located at the front of the top inner panel.
• To change the light assembly:
  • Ensure the mains power to the unit has been turned off.
  • Open the front cabinet door(s).
  • Unscrew the screws holding the LED assembly in place.
  • Carefully lower the LED assembly down and disconnect the 2 wires from the unit.
  • The LED light assembly should now be free to fully remove from the unit.
  • To fit the replacement unit.
  • Place the new LED light assembly inside the unit, re connect the 2 wires from the unit to the new LED light assembly.
  • Re fit the LED light assembly inside the unit by using the screws.
  • Re-connect the mains power and ensure the light illuminates by means of the ECO switch.

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CONNECTION

• Position the unit in the chosen site. The electricity supply connection should be made to a power outlet socket or isolator mounted on the wall close to the machine. This socket or isolator must be accessible once the machine is installed. Before connecting, check that the voltage shown on the rating label is correct for the electricity supply you have available.

• If the plug does not fit your sockets or a longer lead is required, changes must be made by an approved electrician.

• NOTE: The plug is fitted with a 10amp fuse.

• The plug fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and  fitted or the plug replaced.

• WARNING: This machine must be earthed
  Should the supply cord become damaged then a replacet must be fitted by an approved electrician. The IEE Codes of Practice must be observed.
  The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code

• Green and

  • Earth

• yellow Blue

  • Neutral

• Brown

  • Live

COMMISSIONING

• Before using a bottle cooler for the first time, the interior should be wiped out with a clean damp cloth.
• Allow the machine to stand for 1 hour to allow the refrigerant to settle. Plug in and switch on at the wall socket. There is no separate switch to turn on the machine. The compressor will start running less than one minute after the supply is switched on.
• Check that the “ECO” button is not depressed i.e. the blue logo is illuminated. (See relevant section for the operation of this “ECO” function)
• Check that the light is working.
• Run the unit empty, and check that cold air is being circulated within the cabinet.

CHANGING THE CONTROLLER SET POINT

The electronic temperature controller is factory set to 4°C and will cycle the air temperature between 2°C and 6°C. The set point can be adjusted between 0°C and 18°C by following the button sequence below:

USING YOUR BOTTLE COOLER

• This unit is for cooling bottles and cans only. Do not load the cabinet with boxed goods as this prevents air circulation and the goods will not cool down as quickly. While loading ensure that the interior grilles are not obstructed by the bottles.
• Do not place hot or warm goods in the cabinet. Only goods at room temperature or less should be placed in the unit, otherwise performance will be affected. It is recommended that the cabinet is stocked after closing at night or first thing in the morning to allow time for the bottles to cool. Ensure that stock is rotated by placing new stock at the back of shelves  or in one side of the cabinet to ensure that colder bottles are served first.
• Do not leave the doors open when the unit is running as this causes the evaporator to ice up, preventing the unit from operating efficiently.
• Ensure that the front grille is always unobstructed.

ECO BUTTON FUNCTION

• This button (located in the right hand corner of the worktop) provides an energy saving when depressed i.e. blue logo is not illuminated.
• This button switches off the internal light and raises the cabinet’s current “set” point by 6° ( e.g. if current set point is 4° it will be raised to 10°) while in the depressed state (e.g. over night or during periods when the bar is closed). This will provide an energy saving to the customer providing the door(s) is (are) kept closed during this period. This saving can  vary depending on the type and mix of stock within the cabinet, and also the length of time the cabinet is in this economy mode.
• When the cabinet is placed in economy mode a “green” symbol in the bottom left hand corner of the controller flashes to indicate it is in ECO mode, and will stop flashing once the cabinet is returned to standard mode.
• To return to standard operation the button must be released i.e. blue logo will be illuminated, and the internal light will illuminate. The “set” point of the cabinet will return to its original setting. (cooling the bottles/cans to normal serving temperature)
• Standard mode: Button released, logo & internal light illuminated
• Eco mode: Button depressed, logo & internal light off – (symbol flashes on controller)

CLEANING

• Clean doors and surfaces as required, occasionally remove all merchandise and clean interior surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
• DO NOT USE CLEANING MATERIALS CONTAINING ABRASIVES OR BLEACHES.
• In the case of heavy soiling use a mild liquid detergent. The unit can be washed on the inside using bicarbonate of soda to remove stale smells.

CHANGING SHELF POSITION

• The shelves in all Ventus units are fully adjustable. To adjust the shelves:
  • Remove the shelf.
  • Unclip the shelf supports as shown below.
• Hook the shelf supports in the required location.
• Ensure all shelf supports are at the same height for a level shelf. The support strips are numbered to aid positioning.
• Replace the shelf.
• On the shelves in the V135 ensure that the clips are in position on the front covering the join (it should be a tight fit if not squeeze the clip slightly to give a better fit)

Extra shelves are available from IMC.

MAINTENANCE

Warning
Never service, repair or troubleshoot a unit unless you are a professional air conditioning / refrigeration service person. Improper servicing can lead to serious injury or death from fire, electric shock or explosion.

Remove the service panel and insulation block inside the cabinet after switching the unit off from the mains supply. Clean the compressor coil with a brush and vacuum cleaner. THIS MUST BE DONE every three months or when dirty (whichever is sooner). Re-fit the insulation and service panel and secure with the original screws. Once the service panel has been re-fitted clean the grille at the bottom front of the cabinet. Re- connect the power supply and check that unit returns to normal operation.

Other than regular cleaning the unit requires no maintenance by the end user. It is recommended that the unit is serviced by an IMC approved engineer at least once a year.
