Positioning your Lec Commercial bottle cooler
When positioning your Lec Commercial Bottle cooler, please ensure you have taken
into account the following factors:
In order to conserve electricity, do not put your appliance near a source of heat,
such as a radiator. Try to avoid locations where the appliance could be exposed
to direct sunlight.
An unheated location such as a cellar is undesirable as it may cause frost build up
and slow defrosting. It may also cause excessive condensation on the outer
surface of your cabinet.
The cabinet should be placed on a hard flat surface for ventilation. The feet must
be adjusted so that the cabinet stands firm and level with a slight tilt from front
to back, to prevent any defrost water dripping from the front.
Ensure that the appliance has sufficient clearance around it to provide adequate
ventilation – 10cm at each side, 6cm at the rear and 2.5cm at the top.
The internal temperature of this appliance is affected by location, room
temperature, and frequency of opening the door. The factory settings of the
electronic control (thermostat) are set to allow for these conditions. This
appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +16°C and
+38°C. Operating outside of these temperature parameters may cause the
appliance to perform out of specification.
www.lec-commercial.co.uk 6
Electrical Connection
The appliance is intended for connection with alternating current. The connection
values for voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) are declared on the name plate in the
cabinets. Power must be connected via a wall socket with a switch. It is strongly
recommended that the wall socket is accessible. The cabinet plug and wall socket should
give correct earthing. If in doubt, please contact your local supplier or an authorised
electrician.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
If this appliance is fitted with a non-rewirable plug for which your socket is unsuitable
the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The removed plug must be
disposed of as insertion of the plug into an electrical socket is likely to be dangerous.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If a non-rewirable plug or a rewirable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used it must be fitted
with a 13 Amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse. If any other plug is used, please contact
our Spares department for details on appropriate fuse type.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Note: These colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug.
Do not push excess mains lead into the compressor compartment.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in a moulded plug and the fuse cover is detachable, it
must be refitted after the fuse has been changed. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained.
It is important that the colour of the replacement fuse cover corresponds with the
coloured insert or as indicated in embossed words on the base of the plug. Replacement
fuse covers are available from our Spares department, at the address on the final page of
this manual.

Before ANY maintenance activity, carefully take the plug out of the socket by
gripping the plug, DO NOT pull on the plug cord.
DO NOT use double-wire extension cords. If an extension cord is necessary make
sure it is a cord, which possesses a protection safety certificate.
If the main power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by a qualified
service engineer.

propellant in this appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
IMPORTANT: this appliance can be installed built-in, without air gaps as the appliance
has been designed to gain ventilation from the front. The air ventilation at the bottom of
the cabinet must be unobstructed to allow air to circulate around the cabinet.
This appliance is intended to be used in commercial premises and similar applications
such as:
Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments.

www.lec-commercial.co.uk 8
Before you plug your appliance in
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Lec Commercial bottle cooler is left for 2 hours before
use to allow the refrigerant to settle.
It is essential that you clean the interior of your bottle cooler BEFORE using it for the
first time. The interior should be wiped with a soft cloth dampened with a solution of
one teaspoonful of Bicarbonate of soda to one litre of lukewarm water. Rinse with clean
lukewarm water, and dry thoroughly.
DO NOT use soaps, wire wool, scouring powder or disinfectants of any kind.
Using Appliance for First Time
When unpacking and cleaning are complete plug the mains lead of your appliance into a
suitable earthed socket and switch on.
IMPORTANT: When using the bottle cooler for the first time, it is essential that you
allow it to run for 24 hours before filling to ensure it is working properly.
Note: This appliance has been supplied with a factory pre-set temperature of +3°C.
Important Refrigerant Information
The entire Lec Commercial ECA bottles cooler range contains environmentally-friendly,
non ozone depleting R600a refrigerant.
WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit
As R600a is a flammable gas, it is essential to avoid damage to the refrigeration
circuit during transportation and installation. If the refrigeration circuit is damaged,
avoid using a naked flame in the vicinity of the refrigerator and connecting power to the
refrigerator. Also make sure there is good ventilation within the room.

Internal Light
Lec Commercial bottle coolers are fitted with internal fluorescent lights that can be
switched on and off using the red switch located at the bottom of the cabinet adjacent to
the controller.
The light should be turned off whenever it is not required, in order to save energy and
keep your running costs down.
Doors
On all ECA approved models, the door is opened by means of a handle screwed onto the
front of the door. All doors are fitted with a self closing mechanism for energy efficiency
and your convenience. Should for any reason, the self closing mechanism fail, to close
the door apply a gentle pressure until the magnetic door gasket seals against the cabinet
face.
Do not "slam close". Check periodically that there are no gaps between the gasket and
the cabinet face as this will cause the bottle cooler to operate less efficiently.
Shelves
The Bottle Cooler is fitted with adjustable shelves that can be moved to
suit your storage needs. The support clips (right) are removed by
pressing them together and tilting them upwards.
On the double door models, you will notice that there are vertical
centre rails positioned at the front and back of the interior. Ensure that
the clips are also positioned on the vertical centre rails to fully secure
shelves in place. Check that all the clips are level and at the correct
height before positioning the shelves.
WARNING: Maximum loading capacity per shelf is 20kg
Adjusting the feet
Your Lec Commercial bottle cooler comes fitted with 2 adjustable
front feet as standard. If placing on an uneven surface, you may need
to adjust the feet. Simply tilt the unit back slightly to adjust the
height.
To extend the height level of the feet, simply twist/unscrew the feet
clockwise until you reach desired level.
To reduce the height level of the feet, twist/screw the feet anticlockwise until you reach desired level.

Energy Saving Tips
This appliance is cooled by energy-efficient R600a refrigerant. In order to keep running
costs as low as possible, always:
Position the appliance away from heat sources
Make sure the air can circulate freely around the appliance.
Ensure that products being stored in the appliance are below room temperature
upon entry.
Make sure the door is opened a little as possible whilst in use and closed as
quickly as possible to prevent unnecessary temperature fluctuations.
Turn off the internal light when not required. (e.g. overnight or when the
premises is closed)
Storage
If your appliance is to remain unused for a period of time (e.g. during refurbishment
work), it is advised that the appliance is unplugged from the power supply. Ensure that
the interior is thoroughly cleaned and dried.
We recommend that you leave the door slightly ajar to prevent any bad odours from
forming within the bottle cooler.
Disposal of your product
When disposing your bottle cooler do not take it to regular municipal
waste containers. Instead, take it to an electrical/electronic waste
recycling and re-use centre.
A relevant label has been placed on the refrigerators packaging (see

3 - Care & Ongoing Maintenance of your Appliance
Service Information
It is important to maintain the cabinet periodically. We recommend that the condenser,
drain and gasket are serviced every 6 months by a qualified service engineer.
Defrosting
Automatic defrost function
This Lec Commercial Bottle Cooler has an automatic defrost system that requires no
special operations on the part of the user. The on / off cooling cycles of the appliance
are specifically designed to allow for defrost during normal operation.
Manual defrost
Instructions on how to manually defrost your appliance can be found within the table
on page 12 under the title, ‘performing a manual defrost cycle.’
IMPORTANT: Do not use any knives or sharp metallic objects to remove frost.

process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
www.lec-commercial.co.uk 15
Keeping your Bottle Cooler Clean
Interior
Your bottle cooler should be cleaned regularly.
Before cleaning you MUST switch off and disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
The interior, except for the door gasket can be cleaned with mild cleaning
detergents.
Regularly clean the gasket with water only and wipe dry. This helps prevent the
build up of beer and sugar liquids.
Remove shelves and wipe with a soft cloth, ensuring that they are dry before
replacing.
Detergents containing abrasives or acids are not suitable for cleaning and must
NOT be used.
When all cleaning has been completed, reconnect the plug with dry hands.
DO NOT use soaps, wire wool, scouring powder or disinfectants of any kind.
Exterior
We recommend that you use a good wax polish that will clean and polish the cabinet in
one easy application.
DO NOT use an aerosol polish as the spray may damage plastic parts
IMPORTANT: Damage to the unit as a result of not cleaning regularly, or not using the
correct materials may invalidate your warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are there any restrictions as to where I can locate my Lec bottle cooler?
Yes, for optimum performance, it’s important that you position your bottle cooler on a
hard flat surface in an area where the ambient temperature will not drop below +16°C or
exceed +38°C. Ensure the appliance has sufficient clearance around it to provide adequate
ventilation. We do not recommend positioning your bottle cooler close to a heat source
such as a radiator or in direct sunlight. Avoid an unheated location such as a cellar as it
may cause frost build up and slow defrosting.
2. Can I plug my bottle cooler in straight away after unpacking?
No, we recommend that you leave the bottle cooler to stand for 2 hours before plugging in.
This allows the refrigerant to settle after transportation and delivery. You should then run
the bottle cooler whilst it’s empty for 24 hours before filling. Also, it is essential that you
have followed the cleaning recommendations on page 4 prior to filling.
3. What should I do if my floor is uneven?
If the floor is uneven, adjust the feet (twisting either from right-to-left to extend or left-to-right
to reduce height) so that the cabinet stands firm and level with a slight tilt from front to
back, to prevent any defrost water dripping from the front.
4. Can I change the temperature inside the unit?
Yes. Lec Commercial bottle coolers have a temperature range of +2°C to +10°C. You can
easily change the temperature by following the instructions on page 12.
5. How do I operate the light inside the unit?
Simply flick the red switch positioned at the bottom of the cabinet adjacent to the
controller to the on/off position. Lec Commercial recommends that you turn off the interior
light when not in use (e.g. during the night) as this can save on electricity.
6. How often should I clean my bottle cooler and how?
We recommend that you clean your bottle cooler at least once a month. The interior,
except for the door gasket, can be cleaned using a solution containing one teaspoonful of
Bicarbonate of soda added to one litre of lukewarm water. This should then be rinsed with
clean lukewarm water, and dried thoroughly.
7. How often should I defrost my bottle cooler?
It is strongly recommended to defrost your bottle cooler 2-3 times per year.
8. What Warranty does my Lec Commercial bottle cooler have?
Your Lec Commercial bottle cooler comes with a 2 year parts and labour warranty.
9. Can I purchase an extended warranty?
Yes, Lec Commercial also offers customers the opportunity to purchase extended warranty.
10. What should I do if the lock or key is damaged?
Simply call our Spares department on 0844 815 3755 and we will send arrange for a replacement
lock to be fitted if the appliance is still within warranty. Additional keys can also be purchased from
our Spares department.
11. Can I purchase replacement parts?
Yes, we have a number of replacement parts. To order, please call our Spares department
on 0844 815 3755.
