Start-Up and Operation

Initial Set Up
After unpacking clean and allow the cabinet to stand for 2 hours before turning on.
Ensure the cabinet is situated where neither hot nor cold air sources will affect its performance. Make sure that a
minimum clearance of 310mm above and 50mm around the cabinet is available for ventilation and effective operation.
Initial Start Up
Connect the unit to a suitable mains power outlet and turn the supply on. Please do not plug or unplug the unit with
wet hands.

Standby
By pressing the button for 3 seconds, will allow the controller to be put on a standby or output control to be re-
sumed (with SB = YES only). When in Standby will be displayed.

Access the menu and information

• Press and immediately release the button.
• Using the and or buttons select the data you wish to display
• Press the button to display the current value.
• To exit press the button or wait 10 seconds.

To reset the THI, TLO and or CLD recordings:

• Use the and or buttons to select the data to be reset
• Display the value with the button
• While keeping the button pressed, press the button to reset.

Set Point and Display Modification

• Press button and hold for half a second.
• By keeping button pressed, use and or buttons to set the desired value (adjustment is within the mini-
mum SPL and the maximum SPH limit)
• When button is released, the new value is stored.

Keypad Security Settings

The keypad lock avoids undesired, potentially dangerous operations, which might be attempted when the controller is
operating in a public place. In the INFO menu, set parameter = YES to inhibit all functions of the button. To
resume normal operation of keypad, adjust setting so that = NO.

Internal Light (SGD700U Only)

The lights are turned on and off via the rocker switch positioned next to the
controller display.

Door Lock
L2MD Model - To lock the door insert the key and turn 90°, turn in the opposite direction to unlock.

SGD700U Model - The sliding doors only have a loading lock. This sits on the bottom door runner
and when a door is fully opened, can be turned 90° to hold the door open. After loading the cabinet
turn the latch back so it again runs parallel with the runner and the door can be closed.

Shelves, Supports & Baskets

Shelving on the SGD700U models consist of two trayslides per shelf. These slot directly into the rearof the cabinet’s
airduct and have ladderacking to support the front.
Shelves are a standard wire gastronorm style that slide onto the trayslides.
The L2MD models have a basket assembly in each section that is fitted to the cabinet via 4 trayslides. Each basket
consists of two holding chambers.

Defrost
Automatic Defrost
This defrost starts automatically at fixed time intervals or when programmed intervals have been set (a max of 6 per 24
hours).
• Timed Defrost – With DFM = TIM defrosts take place at regular intervals when the timer reaches the value DFT.
E.g with DFM = TIM and DFT = 06, a defrost will take place every 6 hours.
• Scheduled defrost – With DFM = RTC the defrost will take place at a time specified by DH1 … DH6.The format of
time is “HH.M” (HH = hours and M = minutes). To disable one or more of the 6 scheduled defrosts, assign the value “…”
(it is the value after “23.5”). Parameters DH1 .. DH6 are accessible both in the set up (see configuration of parameters)
and by keeping button pressed for 4 seconds during normal operation.
• Manual or Remote defrost Start – If DFM = TIM it is possible to manually start a defrost by pressing for 4
seconds. Of DFM = RTC hold button down for 4 seconds to display DH1, then press button again for 4 seconds to
manually start a defrost. Defrost may also be started remotely, if D12 = RDS, through the making of the auxiliary contact
D12.

Defrost Type – Once defrost has started, compressor and defrost outputs are controller according to the parameter DTY.
If FID = YES, the evaporator fans are active during defrost.

Defrost Termination – The actual defrost duration is influenced by a series of parameters.

• Timed termination – T2 = NO and T3 different from 2EU; the evaporator temperature is not monitored and
defrost will last as long as time DTO.
• Temperature Monitoring of one Evaporator – T2 = YES and T3 different from 2EU. In this case, if the sensor T2
measures the temperature DLI before the time DTO elapses, defrost will be terminated in advance.
• Temperature Monitoring of Two Evaporators – T2= YES, T3 = 2EU, OAU=2EU. This function is for the control of
two independent evaporators and it switches off the individual heating of the evaporator which gets to temperature DLI
first, waiting for the second evaporator to get to that temperature before the time DTO elapses.

Resuming Thermostatic Cycle -

When defrost is over, if DRN is greater than 0, all outputs will remain off for DRN minutes, in order for the ice to melt
completely and the resulting water to drain. Moreover, if probe T2 is active (T2=YES), the fans will re-start when the
evaporator gets to a temperature lower than FDD. Vice versa, if probe T2 is not active (T2=NO) or after defrost has
come to an end, such condition does not occur but end of the time FTO, after FTO minutes have elapsed the fans will be
switched on anyway.
Caution: if DFM=NON or C-H = HEA all defrost functions are inhibited; if DFT=0, automatic defrost functions are exclud-
ed. During a high pressure alarm, defrost is suspended. During defrost, high temperature alarm is bypassed.

> the condensing unit.
> Control contacts are stuck closed. >
Defective or incorrect
> temperature control.
The Temperature is not hot enough
Controller is set at a very warm
> position
> Condenser is dirty.
The refrigerator has been placed
> at an inadequate
location.
Compressor is inefficient or there
> is a high pressure due to the air
in the system.
> Iced up evaporator coil.
> Restriction in system.
The refrigerator has been used
> improperly.
19
Solution
> Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
> Plug in power cord.
Set controller to lower
> temperature.
> Wait for defrost cycle to finish.
Set to a warmer position and check
> if the compressor stops
according to the controllers range.
Check the insulation of the
> thermostat. If problem persists,
change the thermostat.
Change the control.
check amperage load.
Determine correct control and
> replace.
> Adjust to colder setting.
> Clean Condenser.
The unit must not be near stoves,
> walls that are exposed to the sun, or
places that lack sufficient air flow.
If there is air in the system, purge
> and recharge
Check temperature control,
refrigerant charge, and defrost
> mechanism. Remove all ice
manually and start over.
Locate exact point of restriction and
> correct.
The shelves must never be
covered with any type of plastic or

Problem Possible Cause
The Temperature is not hot enough (continued)
> Too many door(s) opened.
Excessive heat load placed in
> cabinet.
The refrigerator has been
> overcharged with the
refrigerant gas.
> The refrigerant gas is leaking.
The evaporator and/or condens-
> er fans are not working.
> Blocked air flow.
Electrical Shock
Wires or electrical components
> are in direct contact with
metallic parts.
Noise
The refrigerator is not properly
> levelled.
The condenser is not fastened
> correctly. Copper tubing is in
contact with metal.
The evaporator and/or
> condenser fans are loose.
Compressor has an internal
> noise
> Loose part(s)

Solution
Advise user to decrease if
> possible
Advise user not to put in products
> that are too hot.
Check to see if condensation or
ice crystals have formed on the
> suction line. If so, charge with the
correct amount of gas.
Find the location of the gas leak in
order to seal and replace the
> defective component. Change the
drier. Perform a good vacuum and
recharge unit.
Check electrical connections and
make sure that the fan blade isn’t
> stuck. Replace the fan motor if it
doesn’t work.
Re-arrange product to allow for
proper air flow. Make sure there is
> at least 4 inches of clearance from
evaporator.
Check for appropriate insulation
> on the connections of each
component.
Check if the noise goes away after
> you level the refrigerator.
While the compressor is working,
check to see if metal parts are in
> contact with one another and/or if
the screws that fasten the
condenser are tightened.
Check if the fans are securely
fastened. Also, check if the fan
> blades are loose, broken or
crooked. If so, change the faulty
blade.
If the noise persists after all other
measures have been taken, it may
> be originating from the
compressor.
> Locate and tighten loose part(s)
 English
Problem Possible Cause
Extreme condensation inside the refrigerator
Controller is set at a very cold
> position.
The outside environment’s
> relative humidity is very high
(over 75%).
he refrigerator door won’t shut
> completely.
The refrigerator had been placed
> at an inadequate location.
Condensing unit runs for long periods of time
Excessive amount of warm
> product placed in the cabinet.
Prolonged door opening or door
> ajar
Door gasket(s) not sealing
> properly
> Dirty condenser coil
> Evaporator coil iced over
21
Solution
Set the controller to a warmer
> position & check to see if the
compressor stops as it should.
This type of occurrence is caused by
> local climatic conditions and not by
the refrigeration unit.
Check the door and/or the
magnetic gasket. Adjust the door
> hinges if needed; replace the gasket
if broken.
The unit must not be near sources
> that produce too much heat.
Advise user to leave adequate time
> for products to cool down.
Advise user to ensure doors are
> closed when not in use and to avoid
opening door for long periods
Ensure gaskets are snapped in
completely. Remove gasket and
> wash with soap and water. Check
condition of gasket and replace if
necessary.
> Clean condenser coil
Unplug unit and allow coil to
defrost. Make sure thermostat is
not set too cold. Ensure that door
> gasket(s) are sealing properly. Select
manual defrost and ensure system
works.
