Unpacking

The cabinet is mounted on a pallet and
shrink-wrapped. Keys and wiring diagram are
supplied in a box inside of the cabinet. Carefully
remove the shrink-wrapping. Make sure that any
sharp instrument used does not damage the
cabinet. Remove protective plastic film from
cabinet body. For clean removal, carefully run a
sharp blade along joints and edges.

Removal of pallet

Remove fittings from inside the cabinet. Unbolt the
retaining bolts which secure the cabinet to its
pallet. Move the cabinet over the back of the pallet
and bolt castors into the rear castor mounting
holes. To fit the front castors, tilt the cabinet
backwards, remove the pallet and bolt the front
castors into the front mounting holes.

These are boxed with the shelves and shelf supports
inside the cabinet. FHC500X models are supplied with
100mm castors, fixed to the front and lockable swivel
to the rear.
NB: Ensure that the castors are securely tightened on
installation.
Check the level of the cabinet with a spirit level.
Cabinet levels may be adjusted by inserting spacer
washers between the appropriate castor and the base
of the cabinet.

Removable Shelf Support Uprights:

The cabinet is fitted with removable ladder rack
to facilitate ease of cleaning. It can be removed
by unfastening the thumb screws located along
the upright.

The cabinet is turned on and off via the use of the
green switch on the front of the cabinet. If the
cabinet is not to be used for a long period of time
we would recommend it be disconnected from the
mains supply.

11. Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT:
Cared for correctly, stainless steel has the
ability to resist corrosion and pitting for
many years.
We recommend daily cleaning with:
a. a spray cleaner or bactericide approved

for stainless steel surfaces.

b. hot soapy water followed by wiping

down with lint free towelling.
Always clean with the grain of the metal.
NB. Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on
aluminium.

WARNING:
High alkaline cleaning agents 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 in
contact with your refrigerator during
general kitchen cleaning, wipe down the
affected area immediately with mild soapy
water and rub dry.
Never use wire wool or scouring powders
on stainless steel or aluminium surfaces.
Stubborn staining of steel surfaces can be
removed with a non-abrasive cream cleaner
or, in extreme cases, gentle rubbing with
'Scotchbrite' in the direction of the grain.
