If not disposed of properly all refrigerators have components that can be harmful to the
environment.
All old refrigerators must be disposed of by appropriately registered and licensed waste
contractors, and in accordance with national laws and regulations.

Foster Refrigerator recommends that the equipment is electrically connected via a Residual
Current Device; such as a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) type socket, or through a
Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overload Protection (RCBO) supplied circuit.

Controller Operation

If the cabinet has been laid on its back at any time DO NOT switch on immediately but leave
in the upright position for at least 60 minutes.

Important: Ensure a minimum clearance of 150mm above the unit and adequate ventilation
for efficient operation. Where possible, ensure the unit is away from a heat source.

Unpacking: The unit is delivered on a pallet and shrink-wrapped. Documentation is inserted
into a clear pocket inside the unit. Carefully remove the protective plastic film and cardboard
from the unit exterior and from the door opening surround making sure that any sharp
instrument used does not cause damage, plus remove any quality labels.

Cabinet removal from the pallet: Remove the shelf holding the package containing the
castors. Remove the retaining bolts which secure the unit to the pallet. Move the unit over the
front of the pallet fit the lockable castors in the mounting holes. To fit the rear castors, lock
the front castors, tilt the unit forwards, remove the pallet and fit the castors in the mounting
holes. Ensure that all are tightened firmly into position.
Ensure during installation the unit is level if not the door may not close correctly.
Adjust castors by inserting spacers, supplied separately, under the appropriate castor and the
base of the unit until level.

When mains electrical power is first applied to the controller it will carry out a self-test
function, for approximately 3 seconds.

The cabinet has fixed positions for the shelving incorporated in the side air ducts.

Door Open Alarm

The door alarm will sound if the door is left open for more than 5 minutes when the
programme is running.
The display will continue to display the alarm message until cancelled by shutting the door.
If the alarm cannot be cancelled by doing this call your Foster Authorised Service
Company.

High Temperature Alarm

If the cabinet temperature remains above 10°c for more than 90 minutes whilst in the
storage mode the alarm will

Air Probe Alarm
In the event of the probe failing the alarm will sound and the display will show probe fault.
Contact your Foster Authorised Service Company.

Power Failure
If the power fails for up to five minutes the unit will re-start on the resumption of the
power supply without affecting the selected cycle.
If the power is off for longer than five minutes the controller will enter the hold mode.

It is at the user’s discretion whether the stock is kept or disposed of depending on the

length of the time the cabinet had no power

Important: Before cleaning the power supply should be turned off at the mains.

Cared for correctly, stainless steel has the ability to resist corrosion and pitting for many
years.
The following weekly cleaning regime is recommended:

a. Exterior: use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner following the manufacturer’s

instructions.

b. Interior: Wash with soapy water, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

WARNING:

High alkaline cleaning agent or those containing bleaches, acids and chlorines are very
harmful to stainless steel. Corrosion and pitting may result from their accidental or
deliberate application. If any of these liquids should come into contact with the unit during
general cleaning, wipe down the affected area with clean water and rub dry.
Never use wire wool or scouring powders on stainless steel or aluminium surfaces.
After cleaning allow the unit to reach its normal operating temperature before reloading
with product. During usage all spills should be wiped clean immediately.

Door Gaskets

These should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced if damaged. To clean, wipe with
a warm damp soapy cloth followed by a clean damp cloth and finally thoroughly dry before
shutting the door.

Condenser Cleaning

Clean the condenser, located in the unit compartment, when it becomes dirty.

Important: Disconnect the mains electrical supply to the machine prior to
cleaning the condenser.

Clean the condenser using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.

NOTE: if there are any stubborn grease deposits etc. left on or through the condenser call
your Foster Authorised Service Company to carry out a full service.
Once the condenser has been cleaned switch the unit on.
Failure to carry out this action may invalidate the warranty of the condensing unit.

Airflow

Do not obstruct the airflow throughout the cabinet interior.

Air inlet and outlet duct should not be obstructed with cardboard boxes etc. as this may result in
loss of performance.
