4. INSTALLATION

Locating the Cabinet

Ensure the following instructions are observed as this is vital for proper and trouble-free operation.

• Do not install the cabinet outdoors.
• Locate the appliance in a dry and well ventilated place.
• The unit must be positioned on a level surface.
• Do not install in the vicinity of heating radiators or other heat sources.
• Do not install the appliance where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Ventilation

• Allow 150mm clearance between walls and the appliance.
• Ensure that the condenser fan is free to take in ambient air from the room.
• Adherence to minimum clearances is necessary

NOTE: The maximum ambient temperature for the refrigerator is 30^ C. Conditions outside this temperature will result in cabinet temperatures outside the required 2 to 8°C range. Bromic recommends that the refrigerator is installed at an ambient temperature of 20 to 25^ C.

Power Supply

• The appliance must not be plugged into a multiple outlet power board.

• The appliance is supplied with a flexible power cord fitted with a 3-pin plug.

- The socket used must be properly earthed and fuse/RCD protected.

• See the rating label inside the cabinet for supply voltage, frequency and current draw.

- Power cable is rated 70°C. It is recommended that the cable should not come into contact with parts over 50°C.

- Do not turn off power before consulting the person responsible.

- Mark the power source clearly, so the refrigerator is not unplugged or turned off accidentally.

Before Operating

- If the appliance has been sharply tilted or transported in the horizontal position, it must be left to stand in the upright position and not plugged in for at least 4 hours.

- Remove all the packaging material before using the appliance.

- Start the appliance only if it has been installed as described.

5. OPERATION

Start-up

• Connect the appliance to the mains power supply and turn the Power switch On.
• Allow the unit to operate for 1 hour to cool the compartment before placing items in the cabinet.
• Check that the electronic controller, lighting, and fans are operating correctly.
• The compressor and condenser fan should operate should operate within 3 minutes after the Refrigeration switch is turned on.
• The electronic controller will display the current cabinet temperature after the Refrigeration switch is turned on.

• The *ED indicates that refrigeration circuit is operating.

- During the start-up delay (3 minutes), the LED is flashing

• The LED indicates that the refrigeration circuit is defrosting

NOTE: The Cooling Light is illuminated when the appliance is chilling the interior of the cabinet.

Manual Defrost

This cabinet features automatic defrost. However, should the appliance require an additional defrost, press SET and hold the DEFROST button for 6 seconds.

Automatic defrost cycles occur every 8 hours and last 20 minutes (factory default). To stop the Defrost, press SET and hold the DEFROST button for 6 seconds.

Setting the temperature

i. Press the SET
ii. The value of the set point will be displayed and the display with flash.

6. PRODUCT LOADING AND STORAGE

IMPORTANT: Run the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before loading.

WARNING: : Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant inside the appliance.

Start-up

• Clean the interior surface with a soft cloth and warm water before loading.
• Ensure there is free circulation of air between the products.
• Do not block the evaporator fan.
• Do not overstock the refrigerator.
• Keep refrigerator door openings to a minimum.
• Some products are sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, please see storage guidelines from the manufacturer before removing from packaging.
• Do not block the internal air vents or fans when loading the cabinet. This can reduce cooling performance.

7. MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before performing any maintenance. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out of the outlet.

WARNING: Exposure to significant water ingress will void warranty and cause potential safety issues. If the unit should be exposed to water, please contact the manufacturer immediately.

IMPORTANT: Warranty may be void if there is no evidence of preventative maintenance is performed on the appliance.

Cleaning the Cabinet

• Remove the products and transfer to a suitable location prior to cleaning the inside of the cabinet.
• Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Never use a water hose or a high-pressure jet to clean.
• Do not use sharp or pointed objects for cleaning.
• Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with a clean damp cloth or with a neutral cleanser.
  • Dry all surfaces with a dry cloth.
• The cabinet must be wiped down regularly.
• Never use polishing powder, soap powder, benzine, oil, or hot water as these will damage the painting and plastic components.
• Preventing the build-up of oil and sediments will increase the longevity of the unit.
  • After cleaning, ensure the power plug is firmly inserted into the wall.
• Check the power cord for cracks and damage. If damaged, contact Bromic Service.

Condenser Coil/Filter

IMPORTANT: The filter and the condenser coil must be cleaned once a month. The filter can be removed for cleaning with water, make sure it is dried before reattaching. The condenser coil must be cleaned with vacuum/brush monthly to maintain the performance and minimise power consumption. A poorly maintained condenser coil can lead to failure of the unit and higher cabinet temperatures.
