Requirements
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.

Preparation
Prior to commencing the installation familiarise
yourself with the entire assembly procedure
including joining methods and sealing.

STEP 1.
Uncrating
1. Check the crates or packaging for damage. If
damaged inform the lorry driver, note the delivery
number, inform the factory immediately (or your
insurance company, if outside the UK).
2. Remove crate or packaging carefully. Never use
the coldroom panels as a lever point for crowbars.
3. The panels are loaded onto the pallet in
sequence for easy assembly with one of the floor
panels at the top, beneath that is the door and
door jamb. Remove the floor panel and place to
one side followed by the door and jamb.
4. It is suggested that the remaining panels be left
on the pallet until required.
5. The refrigeration system panel is packed
separately and should be left on the panel until
required.
STEP 2.
Floor Preparation
The floor that the coldroom is to be erected
on must be clean, dry and flat.
The floor must be level within ± 3mm.
If the floor is not level the wall and ceiling panels
will not lock correctly. Check the floor using a
spirit level on a 2-metre plank, pointing the plank
both along and across the floor.
STEP 3.
Floor Panels
Fit the floor panels with the patterned side up
and the smooth side down.
Ensure sub-floor is smooth, flat, level and hard.
Before laying the first floor panel into position apply a
bead of mastic as shown to all outer perimeter edges
of the panel, (fig 1) ensuring a moisture seal between
the insulated floor panel and the sub-floor.
Follow the same procedure for the second and any
subsequent floor panels but also apply two beads of
mastic to the female extrusion (fig 1) prior to locking
panels together.
NOTE: Packing is not advised to adjust insulated
floor panel levels.
Do not use sand as a sub-floor base.
STEP 5.
Refrigeration
System Panel
Transport the refrigeration panel on its pallet as
close as possible to the point of installation.
Apply mastic to the top edge of the floor, female
side and the top of the 'L' shaped section of the
panel (see fig 5). Manoeuvre the panel into
position.
Carefully slide the refrigeration system panel
approximately into place as the corner, when
fitted, will determine the final position.
Avoid pressing against the hinged cover as this
could result in damage to it.
NOTE: the bottom lock is always 150mm
(6inches) from the floor on all corner and
wall panels
STEP 6.
Figure 5 Wall/Floor joint
It is important that the installation
instructions are read through and thoroughly understood before commencing
the installation of the coldroom.
Follow the step by step guide ensuring
that each stage of the installation is
followed correctly as failure to do so
could effect the operation of the unit
and may result in the warranty agreement being invalidated
Environmental Management Policy

the installation
Figure 3 Locking procedure
1. Insert the hexagonal locking wrench into its
lock hole, making sure it is fully engaged.
2. Tu rn the wrench fully anti-clockwise to raise the
locking arm (fig 3A) and engage cam action.
3. Now turn the wrench clockwise and the locking
arm strikes the pin in the adjacent lock (fig 3B)
4. Continue turning the wrench to lock the panels
securely (fig 3C). If the lock fails to engage turn
the wrench anti-clockwise and repeat 1 - 4.
NOTE: Do not use unnecessary force as this
may impair the locking mechanism and
damage the lock
ERECTING YOUR COLDROOM
NOTE: Only when the previous
steps are fully understood should
you proceed with the installation.
Coldroom Installation
Use the 'Coldroom Assembly Detail', found on a
separate sheet, to give the correct panel layout
for the coldroom you are about to erect.

Wall/Corner Panels
Prior to positioning and locking the corner and wall
panels together:
Apply two beads of mastic as shown (see fig 7) to
the female extrusion only.
Position and lock adjacent wall / corner panels using
the same locking procedure as described in
‘Panel Locks’ (Step 4).
Lock the wall panel to the floor panel securing them
in to place.
NOTE: where access to external wall joints is not
possible after installation of coldroom, insert silicone
seal at the same time as mastic seals (see fig 7).
Do not silicone other joints at this time.
Refer to the Coldroom Assembly Detail for selection of the next wall panel and continue to erect
the rear wall, seal and lock into place until the
corner is reached (see fig12, 13 and 14).
With the sidewalls, rear and ceiling assembled
(see fig 18) seal all internal joints with silicone
sealer (see fig 19) taking care not to overfill.
Refer to the Coldroom Assembly Detail for selection of the next wall panel and continue to erect
the side wall, seal and lock into place but do not
fit the front corner (see fig15).
Ceiling Assembly
1. Apply two beads of mastic as shown (see fig
16) to the wall panel top recess.
2. Refer to the Coldroom Assembly Detail and
select a ceiling panel and place it in position.
3. Select the next ceiling panel seal the edge with
mastic and lock it to the first panel.
4. Continue until the whole ceiling is in position
(see fig 17 and 18) (on the smaller coldrooms
there will be two panels on larger coldrooms
more will be required).
STEP 7.

Front Left Hand Corner
Select the left-hand corner and adjacent wall panel
apply mastic to the edge of the female side of the
wall panel (see fig 7) and lock the corner to the panel.
Fit the white buttons into the corner/ wall lock holes
and apply a bead of silicon to the internal joint
between the wall and corner.
Apply mastic to the edge of the floor, female side of
the corner and the top of the 'L' shaped section also
(see fig 5 and 7).
Lift the corner/ wall panel and slot into place.
To lock the corner/ wall panel to the refrigeration
system panel it is necessary to open the door of the
refrigeration system panel (see fig 8). Remove the two
screws, one near the top of the door and one near
the bottom, from the opposite edge to the hinges
securing the door in the closed position. Remove the
white buttons from the holes adjacent to the lock
holes, Insert the hexagonal locking wrench into its
lock hole, making sure it is fully engaged, and lock
as described previously.
Fit the white buttons into the lock holes and refit the
white buttons in the holes in the door.
The mains lead for the coldroom is found behind the
refrigeration system door.
Pass the cable through the slot provided in the top of
the door ensuring that it does not get entangled in
any of the components.
Close the door and replace the screws ensuring they
are fully tightened.
With the refrigeration system panel and corner
locked firmly into place refer to the Coldroom
Assembly Detail for selection of the next wall
panel.
Select the next wall panel (see fig 9, 10 and 11),
and any subsequent side wall panel, seal and lock
into place until the rear corner is reached.
