- Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.
Temperature Controls
Adjusting the Temperature
- Your new refrigerator is already factory set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should require no adjustments.
- Refrigerators are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33°F and a maximum temperature of 40°F.
- Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature at which your unit will run. Your unit will not run constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:
Use
- Set temperature
- Press the button; the set temperature is displayed.
- Press or to modify the displayed value.
- Press the button to exit the adjustment and display the unit’s current temperature.
- If no additional buttons are pressed within 10 seconds, the unit’s current temperature will be displayed.
- Lights: Press the button to turn the lights ‘on’ or ‘off.’ Manual start/stop defrost: Press the button and hold for 6 seconds to defrost or stop defrosting.
- Refrigerant LED: When the compressor is running, the LED is on; when the refrigerator temperature is
constant, the LED is off. - During the delay start, the LED flashes.
- Defrost LED: During the defrost cycle, the LED is on; when it stops defrosting, the LED is off.
- During the delayed display of defrost, the LED flashes.
Defrost System
Refrigeration units contain an automatic defrost system. Refrigeration coils are kept below the freezing
point (32°F). During compressor downtime, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated.
- If a drainage pipe is available, lower the condensation drainage pipe and connect it to a drain or condensation pump. Verify the pipe is unobstructed and it is lower than the water receiver indicated by the line on the sticker.
- If no drain is available, the condensation drainage pipe can be hung up. The excess water will be evaporated with the condensate evaporator pan. Note that the use of this option will increase the energy consumption of the unit.
- To minimize shock and fire hazards, please do not plug or unplug the cord with wet hands.
- During maintenance and cleaning, please unplug the unit. Proper Grounding Required
- To minimize shock and fire hazards, make sure the unit is properly grounded.
Operation/Maintenance
Loading Product
- Do not block the air duct/fan at the top of the AVANTCO 193HAC28B 28 Inch Black Merchandisers unit. Make sure there is at least 4″ of clearance from the evaporator.
- Ensure all shelves are sitting level and properly secured before loading products.
- Do not store flammable and explosive gases or liquids inside the unit.
- For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
- We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
