DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT

2.1 Technical description
The panels are made of galvanized steel plating, stainless steel or aluminum. The visible internal and external parts have been provided with a powder coating. The glass used is tempered. The unit can move by means of four non- braking castors. The heating and lighting switches have been mounted on the back. The product contact parts are made of stainless steel AISI 304 or AISI 430 and tempered glass.
Cold unit:
Cooling is achieved by means of a thermostatic temperature-controlled cold airflow. The temperature of the airflow is controlled electronically. Lighting is by three TL lights with shatterproof coating.
The Modular Counter Cold uses a cooling unit and an evaporator, built-in at the base. The evaporator is situated in the space beneath the bottom plate. The cold air is passed via the back and shelves over the products. The air on the front side passes through the suction grid at the bottom of the unit, behind the front. This way the warm air is kept out of the unit. The electronically-controlled thermostat is factory programmed for the correct temperature. The set temperature can be changed from -2.5ºC to +2.5ºC (27.5ºF to 36.5ºF) for the full-service models and from -3ºC to +3ºC (26.6ºF to 37.4ºF) for the self-service models. Any water generated is evaporated automatically by a condensation water evaporation unit. Lighting and cooling are switched on separately. The self-service models are not accommodated with a night curtain.
Hot unit:
Heating is achieved by means of heated shelves in combination with an hot-air curtain per shelf. The air curtain isolates the hot air inside the unit from the ambient air. Lighting is done by three TL-lights with a shatterproof coating.
The Modular Counter Hot makes use of heating elements inside the shelves, bottom shelf, and top for heating. The heat from these elements will heat the double-walled shelves and bottom shelf. The shelves and bottom shelf will conduct the heat to the products and surrounding air. An electronic thermostat controls the temperature. The electronic thermostat has been set at the correct value at the factory. This value can be changed between 55ºC and 90ºC (131ºF and 194ºF). The TL-lighting and the heating are switched on and off separately.
Ambient unit:
Lighting is done by three TL-lights with a shatterproof coating. The switch on the back of the Modular Counter switches the lighting on and off. By opening the slide doors the shelves can be loaded or unloaded with products. The customer can take products from the shelves through the opening in the front of the Self Service model Modular Counter. The Full-Service model Modular Counter has a closed front.
2.2 Intended use
The unit has been designed solely to keep packaged products warm, cold, and or to display them. Any other use will not be regarded as intended use. The manufacturer accepts no liability whatsoever for loss or injury caused by failing to strictly adhere to the safety guidelines and instructions in this manual or due to carelessness during installation, use, maintenance, and repair of the unit referred to in this manual and any of its accessories. Use the unit in perfect technical condition only. 2.3 Accessories Your unit contains the following standard accessories:
