GBOperational guidelines The compressor requires that the solar panels are able to deliver a power above a certain threshold in order to start. When started, the compressor is able to operate at lower power consumption than the starting threshold. The compressor may need a couple of starting attempts to get running. So be patient! During days with changing weather conditions, the compressor may start and stop several times. The noise coming from the VFS 048 SDD appliance is low, and primarily comes from a fan cooling the compressor. The compressor is almost noiseless. The fan starts a moment before the compressor and stops a moment after the compressor. The controller is factory set and should be adjusted only by authorized personnel. The philosophy behind the VFS 048 SDD system is: ● Simplicity ● Safety ● Robustness ● Reliability The VFS 048 SDD system is composed of: ● VFS 048 SDD freezer ● Solar panels ● Installation equipment for the solar panels ● Wires from the solar panels to the VFS 048 SDD The VFS 048 SDD is a waterpack freezer. It has one compartment for freezing and storage of waterpacks. The freezing capasity is 3x 0,6 liter waterpacks pr 24h at 43°C ambient. The storage capacity is 29 waterpacks. With correct installation and by following a few maintenance routines, the system will work trouble-free for many years. Introduction

GBMaintenance and cleaning Checking of junction boxes to ensure there is no water accumulation and that the integ-rity of lid seals, connections and clamping devices is intact.All bolts and nuts are to be re-tightened 2 weeks after installation, and then once a year. Cleaning Disconnect the power supply before cleaning by using the on/o󰀨 switch placed in the front of the appliance. The best way to clean the appliance is by using luke warm water with a small amount of unscented detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from running into the control panel. The sealing strip around the lid must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water. After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal. If the appliance is not being used for any period of time, switch the appliance o󰀨, disconnect the power supply, empty the appliance, clean the inside, and leave the lid open to allow air circulation and prevent smells.Dailymaintenance: Check lid is properly closed and ts tightly to the cabinet of the appliance. Monthlymaintenance: Clean the grille on the back side of the refrig-erator once each month. Yearlymaintenance: Electric connections and components are to be checked and cleaned once a year or more if necessary. Maintenance of the solar panels Weeklymaintenance: The solar panels are to be cleaned for dust once each week – or as required. Cleaning must be carried out with water using a soft cloth or wash rag.Monthlymaintenance:Avoid shading It should be regularly monitored that shades do not come up such as new towering trees, as this will decrease the amount of energy produced by the system. Yearlymaintenance: Electric connections and components are to be checked and cleaned at least once a year or more often if required. Because of risk of re, it is necessary to remove dust and dirt.Checking that PV panels are clean, free of fractures, scratches, corrosion, moisture penetration and browning.Cabling should be checked to ensure it is secure.Checking the mounting hardware to ensure it is in good condition and ensuring the earth connection is continuous.

7. To prevent water from damaging the oor

during defrosting, it is advisable to check the defrost water tray from time to time and to cover the oor around the defrost water drain to protect against ice and splashes. When all the frost and ice have melted, clean the inside cabinet, as well lid, lid gasket, and outside of the cabinet using water with a mild, perfume-free de- tergent. Dry the freezer with a soft cloth, and make sure no moisture is remaining after cleaning.

8. Reinsert the internal and external

drainage plugs, and check lid gasket is not faulty.

9. Reconnect the power supply by the ON/

10. Check waterpacks are not leaking before

returning them to the freezer compart- ment. Place waterpacks according instructions, approx. 5 minutes after having switched it on. Close the lid. The water-packs stored and the humidity of the air gradually causes frost and ice to form in the freezer compartment. A thin layer of frost or ice does not a󰀨ect freezer perfor- mance, but a thick layer could cause the freezer not to cool water-packs satisfactory. Small amounts of loose frost can be remo- ved using a plastic scraper. Never use electrical apparatus or sharp implements as these may damage the inside of the appliance. When the layer of frost and ice exceeds 4-5 mm the freezer should be completely defrosted. Defrosting should be performed in the morning between 7am to 9am, just before the solar radiation again is powerful enough to start compressor and run refrigeration system. Proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the power supply by switch-

ing o󰀨 the ON/OFF button. Important! ONLY switch o󰀨 the power supply of the freezer compartment. (See g. 7)

2. Remove all water-packs from freezer

compartment. Place them in an empty coldbox or wrap them up to keep them as cold as possible.

3. Keep the freezer lid open.

4. Open the two drainage plugs. One is

place inside the freezer compartment, and one placed in left side front of ap- pliance.

5. Place a tray under the defrost water

in the freezer, close the lid and wait ap- prox. 30 minutes before removing loose frost with the plastic scraper. 07:00 A.M.

GBTrouble-shooting Fault Possible cause Remedy Compressor is not run- ning, and the ice packs are not cold Be patient, it is most likely that the compressor will start within a few minutes. If this is not the case, check the fol- lowing: - Check that power is connected and that the wire from the solar panel to the appliance is intact. - Check the fuse and replace it if necessary. - If the above is OK, call technical supervisor. Compressor is running, and the temperature is too high The ventilation grill is blocked. The lid is not closed properly. The fan in the compressor compart- ment is blocked or defective. The temperature in the room in which the appliance is installed is too high. Ensure unhindered air circulation. Ensure that the lid is closed properly. Check that the fan is running, if not it should be replaced. See section: Service Shield the appliance against direct sun light and ensure more ventilation to the room. No temperature is displayed There is not enough light for the solar sensor. Turn on the light. No light in green diode during day time Switch is turned OFF Fuse is burned Diode is defect Turn on the switch Replace the fuse. Replace diode. Table 3
