Initial Start-up & Operation

IMPORTANT: This unit is not designed to cool down products, it only maintains them at the regulated 2°C to 4°C serving temperature.

Initial Start-Up

• Before switching ON the unit, ensure the unit is installed correctly
• Once switched ON, check that the air is flowing within the unit Check the lights and the door surround heaters are working
• After 45 minutes check the cabinet temperature has reached 2°C – 4°C
• Leave the unit to operate for 1-2 hours to remove any fumes or odours
• Let the unit cool then clean the whole unit, including the shelves, before placing in product

Operation

• All food MUST be pre-chilled to before loading into the unit
• Ensure the unit is maintaining temperature is between 2°C – 4°C
• Unit is loaded via the glass doors Loading the cabinet should not occur through the lid(s) Ensure the doors are CLOSED when not loading to maintain the temperature
• The cabinet should only be loaded with 14’’ x 14” and 14” x 17” glass baskets The runners can be adjusted for different size glasses
• Food and drinks are NOT recommended to be chilled in this unit
•  Warm glasses are recommended to chill on the bottom runners and moved up as the glasses become colder Glasses on the top runners should be chilled for the most efficient use
• When removing glasses through the lid(s), ensure glass baskets are sitting on the top runners to prevent any unforeseeable injury
• All dirty glasses should be washed prior to loading into the glass chiller
• Door surround heating should be turned ON to prevent condensation build up This can be switched ON/OFF on the rear control panel with the “TROPICAL” button

Loading Restrictions

• Air vents must NOT be covered
• Runners are only designed to hold baskets with one layer of glasses Full baskets with glasses stacked on top of each other or other objects in the baskets can bend and damage runners
• Runners should be adjusted to allow air space around all glasses for even refrigeration and efficient operation of the refrigerator
• An air space of at least 40mm should be maintained above, below and in between the shelves for air circulation

Defrost Cycle

• The system has an automatic defrost system which improves the energy efficiency of the unit and minimizes temperature fluctuations
• After the unit is first switched ON the first defrost cycle will occur automatically after 3 hours If the unit is NOT turned OFF, the unit will defrost automatically 8 times per day or every 3 hours
• If air is not circulating properly a manual defrost cycle can be made Normal automatic defrost cycles will still occur every 3 hours even if a manual cycle has been run in between cycles Check the electronic controller section for more information
• The defrost cycle terminates when the temperature of the evaporator coil rises to 6°C or after 30 minutes Products will remain refrigerated during defrost cycle if the doors remain closed
• For changing of defrost cycle settings, contact Stoddart or an approved service technician

After Service – Information

• The refrigeration section should NOT be turned OFF after service
• Glasses can either be left in the unit or placed in night storage Ensure all door(s) and lid(s) are closed/on
• The unit will maintain a default temperature after service for instant use the next day Switch OFF lights and door heaters to minimize power Ensure all doors are closed

Temperature Adjustment

• The “Refrigerator” temperature can be set between 2°C and 4°C How to set the temperature is shown below
• Different modes require different temperatures
• The temperature probe only measures the temperature of the water/air, NOT the food temperature

KEY FUNCTIONS:

KEY COMBINATIONS:

HOW TO SEE THE SET POINT:

1. Push and immediately release the SET key, the display will show the set point value
2. Push and immediately release the SET key or wait 5 seconds to display the probe value again

Corrosion Protection

• Stainless steel exhibits good resistance to corrosion however, if not properly maintained stainless steel can rust and/or corrode

• Any sign of mild rust and/or corrosion should be thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water and dried as soon as possible

• NEVER use abrasive pads or cleaners for cleaning

• All metal surfaces should be checked while cleaning for damage, scuffs or scrapes as these can lead to rust and further damage to the product

• Mild rust and/or corrosion can be treated with a commercial cleaning agent that contains citric/oxalic/nitric/phosphoric acid
  DO NOT use cleaning agents with chlorides or other harsh chemicals as this can cause corrosion
  After treatment, wash with warm (not hot) soapy water and dry thoroughly

• When using, ensure all liquids and moisture is cleaned up straight away
  Food liquids such as juices from vegetables and fruits should not be left on preparation surfaces

• DO NOT leave items on the stainless steel such as cutting boards, rubber mats and bottles

Surface Finish

• To protect the polished surface of the stainless steel, it should be dried using a clean dry soft cloth A light oil can be applied to enhance the stainless steel surface, using a clean cloth apply the oil in the same direction as grained polished finish
• Some commercial stainless steel cleaners can leave residue or film on the metal; this may trap fine particles of food on the surface, thus deeming the surfaces not food safe

IMPORTANT: Threaded fasteners can loosen in service. Regular inspection and adjustment should be carried out as required
IMPORTANT: Some commercial stainless steel cleaners leave residue or fi lm on the metal that may entrap fine particles of food, deeming the surface not FOOD SAFE
