LABEC PLCF675 - Manual

Introduction
Congratulations on the choice of another quality product. Labec products are manufactured, tested and calibrated to
meet published standard specifications under our strict quality assurance guidelines.
This Instruction Manual is for the guidance of operators of Labec Fridges and Freezers and should be read before the
fridge/freezer is connected to the electricity supply.
It is hoped that this manual will supply all the information that the customer should require for satisfactory operation of
this product. If, however, there are any questions that remain unanswered then the customer should contact our Service
Department.
Unpacking
Remove all packing and protective wrapping from both interior and exterior of the fridge/freezer. Check the fridge/freezer
for any possible transit damage. Ensure all ordered accessories are present. If any physical damage or shortages are
evident, do not discard the packaging material until the fridge/freezer is inspected by the distributor, agent or
manufacturer.
NOTE: All claims for shortage or damage must be made within fourteen days (14) from delivery.
Subject to our standard published conditions of sale, we have reasonable grounds to believe that we have ensured, so far
as is reasonably practical, that the products listed in our catalogue and brochures have been designed and constructed
so as to be safe and without risk to health when properly installed and used in their environment by appropriate and
trained personnel, and where applicable, in accordance with our published instructions.
Electrical Installation
This equipment must be tagged and tested according to AS/NZS3760:2010 prior to use and thereafter on a
regular basis dependent upon the environment.
It is preferable to locate the fridge/freezer close to a power point and recommended that double adaptors are not used.
Check the total wattage if connecting to multi­point outlets. Check the rating plate for power requirements. Installation is
to be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with the power requirements of the product specifications. The
unit must be EARTHED.
DANGER: THIS FRIDGE/FREEZER MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO DIRECT CURRENT SUPPLY
Alarm Output (If fitted)
If the fridge/freezer has a safety alarm controller output fitted the AUX alarm output connection can be connected to an
external device such as a phone dialler or similar or building maintenance system to indicate temperature fluctuations.
Do not set the alarm hysterisis too close to the set temperature or the alarm will activate too often. Adjust the ATD time
to delay the alarm for a period of time to prevent alarming in such cases as door open or loading product.
Operation
1. Connect the chamber to an alternating current supply of voltage as specified on the rating plate mounted on the
side or rear of the chamber. The main temperature controller will turn on automatically.
2. The temperature controller will switch the fridge/freezer on and control temperature.
3. Set the alarm values if required.
4. Set the temperature controller at the required temperature using the up and down arrows on the keypad. See
Appendix A for more details.
5. Final adjustment of the temperature controller may be required after the chamber has reached operating
temperature and this should be checked with a suitable thermometer located in the chamber (A thermometer is
not supplied with the chamber).
6. The shelves can carry around 20 kilograms each.
