GENERAL APPEARANCE OF YOUR COOLER

NOTE

Product technical specifications are stated on the labels of the product. Our Company reserves the right to change the technical specifications of the products without any notice.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR COOLER

Selecting the place of installation The operating environment of the product is very important for the smooth operation of your product. While selecting the operating environment,

• Do not place your product exposed to an outdoor environment (on the street, avenue, etc.)
• Be careful not to obstruct the lower shutter of the product with materials such as cardboard, box etc. for proper cooling. (Picture 4)
• Place the product at least one (1) meter away from heat resources (ex: stove, radiator, electric heater, etc.) (Picture 5)
• Do not place it opposite of the air conditioner chutes, under fans, and direct door and window openings. (Picture 6)
• Do not be exposed to direct sunlight. The operation ratio will increase if sunlight comes to the cooler’s glass. That means an increase in the energy consumption.
• Air intake and outlet must be fluent and free for proper operation of the compressor section of your product.
• While approaching your product to the wall, be careful that there is a gap of 150 mm (15 cm) between the wall and the back of your cooler.

WARNING!
In very humid environments, ensure that the floor and wall of the place where the cooler is located is not affected by water; against discharge water overflow danger.In installations performed by Authorized Service, Authorized Service shall inform the consumer on the suitable place for installation and make suggestions, but the consumer shall give the final decision on where the installation will be made. This process shall also be stated on the relevant installation form by Authorized Service. In case of any loss arising from the place of installation of the product according to the final decision given by the consumer, all responsibility related to such loss shall belong to the consumer. Your product gives the best cooling performance according to the climate conditions under the conditions given below. Therefore, be careful that the temperature of the environment where your cooler will be operated is at these levels. Your product gives the best cooling performance according to the climate conditions under the conditions given below. Therefore, be careful that the temperature of the environment where your cooler will operate at these levels. Please check the rating label on the device.

Positioning
Possible placement positions:

1. In a way that the back side alone is opposite to the wall; be careful that there is a gap of 150 mm (15 cm) between the wall and your cooler. (Picture 7)
2. In a way that is placed to a corner; when you place to a corner, leave a gap of 150 mm (15 cm) behind. You can lean the side corresponding to the corner, to the wall.

The most important point to be considered in all cases of product placement is not to obstruct the ventilation of the compressor assembly. Without exposing your product to any slope, place and operate it in a manner that it is on its feet or wheels. (Picture 8) The freer the compressor assembly ventilation is, the better the device will run.

Hanging

WARNING!

• There is wall hanging apparatus only behind GK1200UG, GK175UG, GK374UEG, GK374UG,LKSU345 models. You do not need to leave an additional gap for these models.

• 2 holes with a diameter of 7 mm and a depth of 40 mm are drilled on a surface, the solidness of which is ensured, on the A axis which you have determined according to the device.

• The expansion bolt of 8 mm is driven into both holes tightly. 2 screws of 4,8×38 YSB DIN NO:7981 are inserted into the expansion bolt that are driven tightly.

• It is necessary to leave a distance of 2-3 mm between the head of the screw and the expansion bolt and for inserting the hanging plates behind the cooler to the screws.
  Note: Leaving the screws excessively long may cause detachment of the cooler.

• Make sure that the slot hole on the hanging plate behind the cooler fits securely.

• While hanging the device onto the expansion bolt, you can align the screw and slot hole from the hole on the side surface of the hanging plate.

Defrost function
Your product has an automatic defrost function. Your showcase will melt frost automatically when it is necessary to defrost while running Although your product automatically prevents frost deposit, frost deposit ratio may increase due to high temperature and humidity as well as frequent use of the device. The running period increases as the frost deposit increases. That also increases the energy consumption. In such cases, stop your product and ensure melting of the frost.

DO NOT FORGET!
An evaporator without frost will always run with high efficiency Water from the evaporator drops onto the drop tray at the compressor section. Even though hot gas evaporates water here, it will be better to check and clean once a month
