Warning: ISLIM [R600a] is equipped with HC refrigerant, and has been tested and proven to be safe according to related standards. All necessary actions for safe usage & maintenance of this appliance are described in this manual and need to be followed carefully. This appliance must be installed only by a suitably qualified person.

Installation & Operation

Failure to comply with the instructions may result in high-energy consumption, the poor performance of the unit, and a void warranty.

• Keep all ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of
• Do not use mechanical devices or means other than those recommended by the manufacturer to accelerate the defrosting
• Do not damage the refrigerant
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless recommended by the manufacturer.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service provider, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard

Do not place the merchandiser:

• Indirect sunlight or near heat sources (radiators, stoves & other heating equipment)
• outdoors, without proper protection from rain, moisture, and other atmospheric elements
• In climate conditions for which it is not certified
• In extreme environmental conditions (i.e. extensive exposure to saline humidity)

ICM placement instructions

• After unpacking, check the cabinet for any damage caused during transportation. In the event of damage, please contact the forwarding company.
• Always ensure that your merchandiser is installed on a stable surface/floor. There are 4 adjustable feet in ISLIM [R600a]. The cooler must be leveled through proper adjustment of the leveling feet in all installations. It must be ensured that the cooler does not exhibit any inclination towards its front side and/or its lateral sides, after adjustment. A slight inclination toward its backside will further facilitate the good circulation of the fluid and support the door closing mechanism. The use of a spirit level is highly advisable to check to level. Verify that the cooler sits firmly on the leveling feet. The front cooler wheels (if available) should be able to rotate by hand after cooler installation and adjustment. Take the necessary precautions if lifting is required during installation. Do not allow the access of unauthorized individuals during the cooler installation.
• The merchandiser must stand upright for at least 1 hour after transportation and prior to start-up. This provides sufficient time for the oil to run back to the compressor after transit and installation.
• Allow a minimum gap of 100mm at the back.
• Do not place anything on top of the ICM. Note: Relocation of the ICM inside the outlet
  • Empty the ICM and unplug from the main supply.
  • Fully extract the leveling feet.
  • Move the unit to the desired location with the assistance of another person.

Connection to the mains supply

Connect the ICM to a 220-240 Volt power supply on a min 10 A fused & grounded socket. Do not use extension cables.

Do not connect the merchandiser to:

• a non-grounded wall socket or power line
• improper supply voltage and frequency
• the power supply that does not comply with the safety regulations of the appliance or with current legislation on electrical installations
• If the mains cord supplied is not long enough, do not use an extension lead. Ask an authorized electrician to replace the cord with a longer one, only if this is described in the list of authorized spare parts
• Do not plug the cooler into a multiple outlet strip.
• Route the main cord in such a way that it is protected from damage and does not pose a risk of tripping.

Operation instructions

• Do not use the merchandiser to store food.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• This appliance is not intended for use by young children or handicapped or infirm persons unless they are adequately supervised by a responsible person who will ensure the safe operation of the appliance on their part. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not operate the appliance while any of the cover sheets and guards are open.

Energy-saving tips: For energy saving and ICM’s better performance:

• Load your ICM at night-time so that the drinks are cold once you get there in the morning.
• Store your backup stock in a cool and/or dark place so that when reloaded, the ICM will need much less time to cool them down.
• Wipe moisture off the products you place in the ICM.
• Avoid opening the door for long periods of time.

Care & cleaning

Prior to any cleaning (inside or outside the device) procedure, unplug the ICM! Remove the plug and make sure that the operator can check from any of the points to which he has access, that the cable is unplugged Never use a water hose or high-pressure jet to clean the cooler.

It is important to clean the merchandiser twice a year. In order to avoid mold formation, odors, etc. product compartments must also be thoroughly cleaned. The interior of the ICM should be cleaned with a mildly soapy cloth and the glass surface using a window-cleaning agent.

• In case the merchandiser is placed in a very dusty and/or greasy environment, the regular cleaning of the condenser by an authorized technician is
• Keep the cooler in a stable position during cleaning, do not step on or lean over the
• Do not clean with sharp objects, flammable or corrosive liquids, or sprays.

Troubleshooting

ALL-ACCESS TO THE COOLING SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL PARTS (CHANGING LIGHTING OR REFRIGERATION DECK) MUST BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.
ISLIM [R600a] is equipped with an HC refrigerant. All service operations on cooling mechanism & gas charging should be performed in a well-ventilated environment or in the open air. Do not smoke during maintenance.

• UNPLUG THE COOLER PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE OPERATIONS. REMOVE THE PLUG AND MAKE SURE THAT THE OPERATOR CAN CHECK FROM ANY OF THE POINTS TO WHICH HE HAS ACCESS THAT THE CABLE IS
• After maintenance operations, make sure that the grounding connections are in place before assembling the covers. Make sure you use the same fastening components and
• If any electrical components need to be replaced, use only the identical components in the spare part list supplied by the technical service department of
• Keep the glass door of the cooler closed during cooling mechanism maintenance. The appliance will not stand stable when the compressor is disassembled. If the compressor needs to be replaced, use adequate support to stabilize the
• After maintenance operations make sure that the strain relief, which supports the supply cord, is assembled

If the ICM is not functioning properly or is out of order, please check the following before calling the authorized service provider:

The cooler does not cool.

| The ICM has recently been reloaded with warm products. Please note that it takes some time to cool warm

products.

|

Preferably, reload the ICM before night closing.

The ICM is loaded in such a way that the air circulation in the interior is getting blocked.| Load the ICM according to the standards you have been provided with by the company.

The door does not seal properly.

| Repair the doors for proper closing (this type of repair should be

performed by an authorized technician).

The cooler does not cool.|

Leakage in the cooling system.

| Repair the leakage (this type of repair should be performed by an authorized technician).

The ICM makes noise.

| Intense metallic noise.| Call a Service technician.

Inclined or curved floor.

| Level the ICM properly by adjusting its feet. Placing a spirit level on the top of the ICM will assist you in leveling it.
There is water on the floor.| The drainage hole for the condensate water is blocked.| Unblock the drainage hole.
There is a leakage in the tray.| Call a Service technician.
The lights don’t work.| The lighting or the transformer are out of order.| Call a Service technician.
