Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future reference.
When the appliance is used by or near young children or infirm persons,
close supervision is necessary, especially to ensure children do not play
with it.
Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use.
Do not cover the grilles or block the entry or exhaust of airflow by
placing objects up against the refrigeration unit.
Do not probe any opening.
Only use this appliance with the voltage specified on the cabinet rating
label.
Ensure the chiller has adequate ventilation as this is essential to
economical, high performance.
Be careful not to touch moving parts and hot surfaces.
For your own safety and that of others, ensure that all electrical work is
done by authorised personnel.
If the power supply flexible cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced
by an authorised service agent or similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
Ensure all necessary safety precautions are observed during installation
or removal of the refrigeration unit.
The chiller is not designed to be stable while in motion. Use extreme
caution when moving or transporting it.

User Manual
Positioning the Cabinet
Climate Class The OD460 chiller is designed to operate within a climate class 3
environment (25°C @ 60% RH). We recommend that you put the chiller in
the coolest place possible because it will use less power and last longer.
Chiller
Location
The location of the chiller may be the single most important decision that will
extend its life and ensure economical, high performance. Ensure the cabinet
is placed where it is not exposed to drafts or direct sunlight. The cabinet
must sit on a level surface to prevent the condensate tray from overflowing.
Air Movement The cabinet must NOT be situated where it is affected by air-conditioning air
outlets, ventilation fans or air re-circulation fans, as this will compromise the
airflow and thus product temperature in the open cabinet zone.
There must be NO air movement directly into the cabinet opening. Air
movement will cause failure of the air curtain over the product, resulting in
excessive temperature rise. Detectable air draft will adversely effect the
cabinet operation. Maximum air movement across the cabinet opening must
not exceed 0.2 m/s.
Power Cord The cabinet has a flexible power cord fitted with a 3-pin plug, which exits the
rear of the cabinet at floor level. Locate the power cord before the cabinet is
moved into position so that it is not trapped behind the cabinet.
The cabinet must have its own dedicated power supply. Multi-plug
connecting boxes and extension cords must not be used. Check the cabinet
does not overload the power supply (see the rating label inside the cabinet
for current draw).
Ventilation Adequate ventilation must be provided around the refrigeration unit and
cabinet at all times. Refrigeration exhaust air must not be restricted, and
must be able to easily flow out and away from the cabinet.
Ensure there is unimpeded clearance in front of the kick panel at all times.
Never store cardboard cartons or other items in the front or rear of the
refrigeration unit.
Determine if the installation is free-standing or enclosed, and ensure the
installation meets the ventilation requirements detailed below.
Free-standing installations
Free-standing cabinets must be installed with the following minumum
clearances:
30mm behind (provided by the rear spacers on the back of the cabinet).
60mm on either side of the cabinet.
200mm above the cabinet.
If these clearances can’t be met, the installation should be treated as an
enclosed installation.
IMPORTANT
There must be NO air movement directly into the cabinet
opening.
CAUTION
Ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the refrigeration
unit and cabinet.

User Manual
SKOPE OD460
Enclosed installations
Enclosed installations must have the following minimum clearances around
the cabinet, and include the following features:
75mm behind the cabinet.
An air guide must be used to ensure all refrigeration exhaust air is
directed up and away from the cabinet.
The air guide must also ensure the air exhaust outlet cannot be blocked
by product or other items above the cabinet.
Refrigeration exhaust air must NOT be allowed to run horizontally across the
top of the cabinet, as it may be pulled down into the cabinet interior.

2 Operation
Automatic Start-Up
After the cabinet has been positioned in a suitable place, plug it in a nd c h e c k
the following activity.
Lights
The chiller is fitted with interior LED lights. The lights turn off and on
automatically when the chiller is switched between Night and Day mode (via
night blind or electronic controller button, see “Day and Night Modes” on
page 11). The lights can also be switched on and off manually without
changing the chiller between night and day mode by pressing the light
button on the electronic controller faceplate (see “Faceplate” on page 12).
Lighting components must not be tampered with in any way. If a unit is
suspected of being faulty, a service call should be arranged so that a
replacement component can be fitted.
Night Blind
The chiller is fitted with a manual night blind which should be pulled down
into the closed position during store closing hours to save power. The night
blind has a switch which automatically tells the electronic controller to run
the chiller in Night mode (with the lights OFF) when the blind is in the closed
position or Day mode (with the lights ON) when in the open position.
The night blind is located at the top of the cabinet opening and is not visible
when in the open position.
To close the night blind, use the handle to pull the blind down and hook it
under the night blind retaining brackets at the bottom of the chiller opening.
To open, use the handle to release the blind from the retaining brackets and
control the blind as it opens.
Item Activity
Electronic
controller
An electronic controller runs the chiller and is visible behind
the front panel. The display panel first flashes start-up
messages before stabilising on the cabinet temperature.
Lighting
If the night blind is up, the lights that illuminate the cabinet
interior will come on a few seconds after the chiller is turned
on.
The lights are off when the night blind is down.
Refrigeration unit
The refrigeration unit evaporator and condenser fans should
all operate continuously from the time the cabinet is plugged
in. This may be verified by checking for air movement inside
the cabinet. The internal cabinet air will continue to circulate at
all times.

Electronic Controller
Introduction The OD460 chiller is fitted with a Carel ir33 electronic controller which is
visible through a cut-out in the cabinet front panel.
The electronic controller switches the chiller between Day and Night modes
depending on the night blind position, and uses temperature probes to
control and display the chiller temperature, collect data, signal temperature
alarms and force a defrost cycle when required.
The electronic controller is pre-programmed and requires no initial setup or
additional programming. SKOPE does not recommend that the settings be
changed unless it is absolutely necessary.
Day and Night
Modes
The electronic controller will automatically switch the chiller between Day
and Night modes depending on the night blind position. When the blind is in
the open (up) position, the chiller runs in Day mode. When the blind is in the
closed (down) position, the chiller runs in Night mode.
During Day mode, the lights are ON and the chiller keeps product at required
(cool) temperature for serving, and the chiller temperature is displayed on
the controller display.
During Night mode, nHt is displayed on the controller display, the lights are
OFF and the chiller slightly elevates the product temperature to achieve
higher energy efficiency during store closing hours.
Note: The chiller is suitable for storage of perishable products in either Day
or Night modes (all shelves maintain temperatures below 5°C).
CAUTION
The electronic controller must only be adjusted by an
authorised service agent.
