Installation and Operation Manual
•
Disconnect power cord from its outlet.
•
Set the temperature control to the OFF position.
•
The unit designs permit easy and rapid cleaning and should not take
more than a few minutes. Remember to wear protective gloves to
prevent frost bite, especially when removing items from freezer units.
•
Do not use abrasive scouring powders, waxes, solvents, furniture polish,
undiluted detergents or cleansers containing petroleum products on the
surfaces of units.
Note Make no attempt to service or repair a Thermo Scientific product under
warranty before consulting your Thermo Scientific dealer. After the warranty
period, such consultation is still advised, especially when the repair may be
technically sophisticated or difficult. If assistance is needed beyond what the
distributor can provide, please call Customer Service at 800-438-4851. No
merchandise should be returned directly to the factory without obtaining a
Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number from Customer Service.
A solution of mild soap and water can be used for cleaning the interior,
exterior and door gaskets with a soft, clean cloth. Rinse with clean water and
dry thoroughly before reconnecting and turning on the unit.
WARNING: Disconnect plug from electrical outlet before attempting any
maintenance or repair of this unit.
With forced-fan vented units, remove the screws that mount the grill to the
unit. Pull temperature control knobs straight out. This will expose
condenser for cleaning.
WARNING: Any internal adjustments or repairs must be performed by a
qualified service representative.
Use the following procedure to defrost manually:
•
Rotate the temperature control knob to the OFF setting or zero position
according to the model.
•
Disconnect the power cord from its outlet.
