Refrigerators and Freezers Operation, Installation and Instruction Manual Refrigerators and Freezers

RECEIVING YOUR NEW MODEL
Congratulations on your recent purchase of Continental Scientific superior
laboratory/pharmacy equipment products! When your shipment arrives, please
thoroughly examine the shipping crate for any punctures, dents, or signs of rough
handling. It is in your best interest to partially remove or open the shipping
container in order to examine the model for any concealed damages which may
have occurred during shipment. If the model is damaged, it must be noted on the
delivering carrier's delivery slip or bill of lading (see "filing a damage claim" under
warranty section).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND IMPORTANT OPERATING FACTS
This manual has been compiled to aid in the installation, operation and
maintenance of your new equipment. Please take the time to read all of the
material in order to become more familiar with your equipment and its operation,
and enjoy optimum performance.
Important Note:
All automatic defrost freezers have an energy-saving fan
delay control to prevent the interior fans from operating until the evaporator coil
becomes chilled. Therefore, on initial start-up, the fans will not turn on immediately.
This is a normal mode of operation.
Allow sufficient time for the evaporator coil
to reach its operating temperature (approximately 20 minutes).
No floor drains or plumbing connections are required since all models are
completely self-defrosting and use an automatic defrost condensate water
evaporating system (see "condensate evaporator installation" under installation
and location section).
All cabinets must be given sufficient time to reach normal operating temperature
before placing any product inside. For refrigerators, approximately 2 hours of
operation are required to lower the cabinet temperature to 4 degrees c. Freezers
require approximately 4 hours of operation to lower the cabinet temperature to -20
degrees c (see "operation" section for further information).
Never
overload top shelf with product so as to block or restrict cabinet airflow.
Doing so will result in poor performance, decrease in efficiency and possible need
for service to de-ice evaporator.
Prior to factory shipping, all models are performance run tested for a minimum of
12 hours providing a highly sophisticated temperature analysis recording exclusive
to each individual cabinet. This recording is supplied within this manual packet. A
final leak check, vibration, noise level and visual examination is made by a
qualified quality control team to assure a quality product. The carrier signs to this
effect when he accepts the product for shipping. To insure the maximum in safety
