5Technical description
5.1Function description
All materials used in the refrigerator are compatible for use with medicines.
The refrigerant circuit is maintenance-free.
The refrigerator is available as freestanding version (FS) and as built-in version (BIU).
The freestanding version (HC302FS, HC502FS) is intended for freestanding use.
The cooling unit cover protects the warm parts of the cooling units. The foot frame
with ventilation openings ensure sufficient ventilation. By removing the foot frame
and cooling unit cover the refrigerator can be used as a built-in version.
The built-in version (HC302BIU, HC502BIU) is intended to be mounted into furniture. It doesn‘t have a foot frame or cooling unit cover.
The digital thermometer shows and stores the minimum and maximum inner
temperatures from the last reset so that you can check whether the medicines have
been stored at the appropriate temperatures.

6.2Installing freestanding version
Observe the following instructions when installing:
•Install the refrigerator so that the warm air produced can easily flow away, either
upwards or to the sides.
•Leave the device to stand for at least four hours before you connect it to the
power supply so that the refrigerant can flow back into the compressor.
➤ Place the refrigerator at the chosen place.
6.3Installing built-in version
Observe the following instructions when installing:
•Install the refrigerator so that the warm air produced can easily flow away (either
upwards or to the front, fig. 3, page 4).

•Leave the device to stand for at least four hours before you connect it to the
power supply so that the refrigerant can flow back into the compressor.
•Make sure that the refrigerator door is able to open at least 100°. Otherwise the
drawers cannot be used.
➤ Mount the refrigerator to the furniture by two screws through the fittings at the
bottom (fig. 4, page 4).
6.4Connecting the refrigerator to the power supply
NOTICE!
A
UK only: The refrigerator is supplied with a plug fitted with 3 A fuse. In
ca se this fuse has to be to chan ged, a 3 A ASTA approved (BS 13 62) fuse

➤ Insert the battery into the thermometer (see chapter “Replacing the battery of the
thermometer” on page 17).
✓ The display turns on.
For the first two seconds the display will not show temperature values; it shows
“--.-”. Then the temperature read from the sensor is shown.
6.5Mounting and removing the door handle
➤ Mount the handle as shown (fig. 7, page 6).
➤ Remove the handle as shown (fig. 8, page 6).
7Using the refrigerator
NOTE
I
•Before starting your new refrigerator for the first time, you should
clean it inside and outside with a damp cloth for hygienic reasons
(please also refer to the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on
page 19).
•Always leave some space between the medicaments in the cabinet
to ensure efficient and even cooling. If the drawers are packed too
tightly there may be unacceptable temperature values.
7.1Energy saving tips
•Choose a well ventilated location which is protected from direct sunlight.
•Do not open the refrigerator more often than necessary.
•Do not leave the doors open for longer than necessary.
•Defrost your refrigerator as soon as a layer of ice forms.
7.2Using the refrigerator
NOTE
The temperature values are shown in °C. This cannot be changed.

HC302, HC502Using the refrigerator
After the first start, after replacing the battery or after switching off the refrigerator for
a longer time the display of the digital thermometer (fig. 2, page 3) shows the current ambient temperature. When the inner temperature reaches the operating range
the thermometer should be reset to avoid showing wrong maximum temperature
value.
➤ Press the reset button (fig. 2 4, page 3) for 5 s.
The thermometer has a blue backlight which makes the temperature values easier to
read.
The thermometer stores the values of the minimum and maximum inner temperature
since the last reset. These values are deleted when the thermometer is reset or the
battery is changed.
7.3Replacing the battery of the thermometer
Replace the battery of the thermometer as follows (fig. 9, page 7):
➤ Pull the key (1) from the lock.
➤ Remove the lock cover rosette using two standard screwdrivers.
➤ Remove both screws (2) from front panel.
➤ Push the front panel (3) a bit upwards and remove it by slightly pulling.
➤ Remove the battery (4).
NOTICE!
Make sure the polarity is correct (the “+” must face up).
A
➤ Insert the new battery (CR1632) in its holder.
➤ Remount the front panel and lock cover rosette in reversed order.

7.4Defrosting the refrigerator
NOTE
I
Humidity can cause frost to form in the interior of the refrigerator or on the vaporiser.
A slight layer of frost or water droplets could form in the interior of the refrigerator if
it has been cooling for longer periods. This is normal because the moisture in the air
condenses to water when the temperature in the refrigerator drops. The refrigerator
is not defective.
The condensate flows out through a water drain duct into a water container at the
back of the unit at top of the compressor, where it evaporates.
It is recommended to defrost the refrigerator every three weeks.
In high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator may operate
continuously, which can lead to excessive formation of frost on the rear
wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Proceed as follows:
➤ Disconnect the refrigerator from the AC mains.
➤ Remove the drawers (see chapter “Removing the drawers” on page 19).
➤ Leave the door open.
➤ After defrosting wiped out the cabinet interior with a clean, damp cloth.
➤ Assemble the drawers.
7.5Switching off and storing the refrigerator
If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤ Disconnect the plug.
➤ Clean the refrigerator (see chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” on page 19).
➤ Leave the door slightly open.
This prevents smells from building up.

7.6Removing the drawers
You can remove the drawers, e.g for cleaning.
Proceed as follows (fig. 0, page 7):
➤ Open the door (A).
➤ Pull out the drawer (B).
➤ Push the fixing pins from the outside to the inside (C)
➤ Remove the drawer (D)
➤ Assemble the drawers in reverse order.
8Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING!
!
A
➤ Clean the refrigerator regularly and as soon as it becomes dirty with a damp
cloth.
➤ Make sure that no water drips into the seals. This can damage the electronics.
➤ Wipe the refrigerator dry with a cloth after cleaning.
➤ Check the condensate drain regularly.
Always disconnect the refrigerator from the mains before you clean and
service it.
NOTICE!
•Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or hard objects during cleaning
as these can damage the refrigerator.
•Never use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or to free objects frozen
onto the device.
•Do not use any mechanical tools or any other tools to speed up the
defrosting process.
Clean the condensate drain when necessary. If it is blocked the condensate
collects on the bottom of the refrigerator.
➤ Regularly clean the door seals.
➤ Freestanding version: Clean the grid of the condenser and the compressor on
the back of the device with a vacuum cleaner regularly.
