Important when dealing with a malfuction:
1) Fuse functioning correctly? Replace if necessary. 2) Possibly a thermal failure of the unite? Check whether this is the case, by pressing the appropriate button, which can be found in the control cabinet, were the machine (compressor) is located. 3) Is the main switch in the right position? Is the plug connected to the power point? 4) Is the condenser clean? Is the water discharge in the unite clean? You should clean these regularly, with a minimum of once a month. 5) Possibly automatic defrosting program is switched on? Check whether the defrost led (located in the control cabinet) is on. 6) Your business products are staked wrongly or to high? Check regularly for alterations made by customers.
Prevent a malfuction by:
A - MAINTENANCE1) Appoint someone for maintenance of the refrigeration unites. 2) Regularly cleansing the condenser prevents malfunction and saves a lot of energy. Simple means like vacuum cleaner and a hand sweeper could be sufficient. 3) Clogged water dischargers could cause high costs, water damage and burned ventilators. Prevent this by cleansing all water dischargers with a detergent once a month. 4) The whole unite can be cleansed using water and soap (never use an abrasive detergent). 5) Do not use your machine-cabinet as a storage room and make sure there is a good air circulation.
B - CHECK1) Check the cooling temperature of every unite twice a day. 2) Open cell doors, when you are stocking, make your work much easier. Do realise that al unites lose a lot of cool air every time the doors open. This can ad to your energy costs dramatically. 3) Good air circulation is necessary. Do not pile your products over the load line; distribute the products evenly over de available area. This will result in better product temperatures and less energy consumption. 4) Do not put any advertising boards in the air current of the refrigeration unite. 5) Never put any ventilator or heat emitter (spots) in de direction of the unite. 6) Prevent draft by keeping the doors to the area closed. 7) In case of vertical unites we recommend the use of roller-blinds. This will result in decreased energy consumption.
