Installation & start-up
Before installing and using your new appliance please read through the instructions supplied with
your appliance - failure to install or use this appliance in accordance with the instruction book may
invalidate your warranty.
REMOVE ALL PACKAGING external and internal from the appliance including any strips of adhesive tape,
plastic bags and pieces of packing foam from inside the cabinet.
INSTALL the appliance in a well ventilated room and DO NOT place your appliance in direct sunlight or
close to a heat source such as radiators or heaters. The appliance should NOT be placed in an unheated
room where the ambient temperature is above or below that for which the product was designed to
operate in as this will affect the performance of the appliance. This can be checked by looking at the
data plate, located inside the cabinet.
ENSURE there is adequate ventilation all around the cabinet, ensuring there is a gap of 50mm around
the sides, 75mm at the rear and 25mm at the top.
LEVELLING THE APPLIANCE Make sure the cabinet does not ‘rock’ and that it stands level. Do not install
onto carpeted surfaces as this prevents adequate ventilation. This appliance must stand vertically on a
flat, even surface; to level the appliance use the levelling feet by turning them until the appliance is as
level as possible.
DO NOT expose the appliance to damp conditions, open air or rain.
DO NOT lift the appliance by the pipes or the door when moving.
LET THE COOLANT SETTLE Prior to switching on, leave your appliance to stand for 2-3 hours to allow the
coolant fluid time to settle.
BEFORE YOU PLUG IN AND SWITCH ON check that the voltage of the appliance is the same as your
supply, the voltage of the appliance will be found from the data plate situated inside the cabinet.
DOOR OPENING In order to maintain the correct temperatures inside your appliance keep door opening
to a minimum and do not leave the door standing open.
Should the appliance become damaged, please contact Lec Medical customer care and do not use the
appliance until you are instructed to do so by a service engineer.

Using your appliance
Once you have installed your appliance in an appropriate location, follow the start up procedure below:
Leave the appliance to stand for 2-3 hours to allow the refrigerant to settle following installation and
cleaning. If the appliance has been transported horizontally it must be left to stand vertically for 12
hours before installation.
Plug the appliance into the socket.
Turn the thermostat to the required setting – a medium setting is usually suitable.
Leave the appliance empty and switched on for at least 4 hours before storing anything inside to allow a
sufficient temperature to be reached.
N.B. Regular turning off may shorten the life of the appliance.
USING YOUR APPLIANCE
The thermostat is located at the rear of the appliance.
To reduce the temperature inside the appliance, turn the thermostat towards 6 maximum.
To increase the temperature inside the appliance, turn the thermostat towards 1 minimum.
Depending on the ambient temperature of the room the appliance is in, you may need to adjust the
thermostat accordingly.
CONDITION/REASON SETTING ADJUSTMENT
Refrigerator too cold Adjust temperature control one setting lower
Refrigerator too warm Adjust temperature control one setting higher
Freezer too cold Adjust temperature control one setting lower
Freezer too warm Adjust temperature control one setting higher

Defrosting
REFRIGERATOR (LR111 ONLY)
Your appliance has an automatic defrost system which requires no special operations on the part of the
user. The defrost water will fall into the trough underneath the bottom edge of the cold plate and run
down the drain into the plastic defrost water evaporation tray sitting on top of the compressor.
Image for illustration purposes only
It is important that the drain does not become blocked. If the drain does become blocked, remove the
lower shelf and clear the blockage with a piece of soft wire or plastic such as a pipe cleaner or straw.
FREEZER (ISU111 ONLY)
Your freezer should be defrosted when there is a frost build up of 5mm. A thick layer of frost on the
inside of your appliance will make it less efficient and affect freezing performance.
Before defrosting, unplug the appliance. Use a plastic spatula to carefully scrape off any soft residue of
surface frost. DO NOT scrape with a sharp instrument, or use artificial heat which may cause damage.
Leave the door open and allow the freezer to defrost. Defrosting can be assisted by placing a bowl of hot
water inside your appliance and closing the door as far as possible.
When defrosting is complete, mop up any surface water, clean the appliance and dry thoroughly before
reconnecting to the mains supply.
6
Cleaning your appliance
Your cabinet is easy to keep clean. Regular cleaning is important for hygiene reasons. Before attempting
any type of cleaning, always switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug.
EXTERIOR: Use a good wax furniture polish to clean your cabinet’s exterior. Make sure that the doors
are closed, to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside. Do not use an aerosol polish as
the spray may damage plastic parts. The condenser (black grille at the back) can be vacuumed using a
soft brush attachment (this applies to the ISU111 only).
INTERIOR: Before using for the first time, and periodically, the interior of your appliance should be
cleaned. Remove all drugs, vaccines samples etc. from the cabinet and store them in a controlled
temperature environment. Remove all the shelves, baskets, drawers and door fittings. Wipe the inside
with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water mixed with a little mild detergent. Rinse with clean
warm water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid water getting into any electrical fittings,
switches, lights etc. as this may cause serious electrical damage.
The magnetic door seal may be cleaned using warm soapy water and then dried thoroughly.
Do not use wire wool, solvents, scouring powders or disinfectants of any kind.
After cleaning, plug in and switch on the appliance then leave for at least 4 hours before storing
anything inside to allow a sufficient temperature to be reached.
