Thank you for buying a Victor Unit. We hope and expect that
you will get many years of satisfactory use from your purchase.
In order to achieve the best results from your equipment please
read, and follow, the installation, operating, cleaning and
maintenance instructions below. Failure to follow them may
affect the warranty.
1. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
All protective coating used on stainless steel surfaces of the hot
cupboard must be removed. The exposed surfaces can then be
wiped clean with a damp cloth, using a mild detergent or soap
if necessary.
Do not use any abrasive material or form of bleach for cleaning
purposes. Please see cleaning section of these instructions.
2. INSTALLATION
Position the appliance where it is to be used and ensure that it
is level.
Do not:
Site the appliance in the immediate vicinity of a heat source.
Do not:
Position the appliance so as to obstruct air vents on either the
operator or customer sides of the appliance. Adequate airflows
are vital to the correct functioning of the refrigeration system.
Avoid placing the appliance in areas subject to strong draughts
or under air conditioning systems. Avoid areas subject to high
humidity (e.g. conservatories) as the appliance will act as a
de-humidifier, and create excessive amounts of water.
The appliance is fitted with a 13 Amp fused plug and only
requires connection to a suitable 13 Amp socket outlet. This
model is suitable for 230 - 240V A.C. supply only. Ensure that the
electricity supply is as stated on the model’s data plate.
Important:
Wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and Yellow (Earth) • Blue (Neutral)) • Brown (Live)
Warning: This appliance must be earthed, do not touch internal
wiring.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead on this appliance
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
(a) The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be
connected to the terminal in the plug, which is marked with
letter E or the symbol .
(b) The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or is coloured black.
(c) The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or is coloured red.
3. USE AND BEST PERFORMANCE
The product is designed to maintain food placed in the well
at between 3ºC and 5ºC in ambient temperatures of up to
25ºC and relative humidities up to 60%; food placed in the
well must be at or below this temperature, before being
placed in the well.
The refrigeration system is operated by a green on / off switch
marked ‘Refrigeration’, which will illuminate when the
refrigeration is switched on.
The refrigeration system is controlled by a microprocessor
control which is factory set and requires No adjustment, the
digital display will show the air temperature within the well, not
the food temperature. Other buttons on the controller are of no
consequence to the user and are for factory or service engineer
use only.
To obtain the best performance, the following procedure is
suggested:
(a) Switch on the refrigeration system via the switch located on
the control panel.
(b) Depending on the ambient temperature, allow the well
approximately 30 minutes to reach the required temperature.
(c) Load the well as required, be careful not to over pack the
well and restrict airflows between the front and rear vents of
the well as this will affect the efficiency of the refrigeration
system. Do not fill above the “Load Lines” marked on the sides
of the unit.
All refrigeration systems frost up when operating. Your
appliance has a microprocessor control, programmed to defrost
periodically. No manual defrost is required. The refrigeration
system will automatically defrost every 2 hours for
approximately 20 minutes.
The controller will display ‘def’ during the defrost cycle. Water
collected from the defrost operation is automatically
evaporated.
Please remember: The refrigeration system is not designed to
chill food, but is designed to maintain it at a satisfactory
temperature before serving.
GANTRY (Where purchased)
The gantry will be fitted with a LED array strip, this is controlled
by an on/off switch on the rear of the gantry. The LED array is
replaceable. Please proceed as follows:
(a) Turn off power to the unit.
(b) Unclip the LED strip from the brackets.
(c) Unplug the lead.
(d) Reverse the process to fit the new strip.

4. CLEANING
Switch off the unit at the mains before cleaning.
Stainless steel surfaces will give you many years of trouble-free
use as long as you follow a few simple rules. If it appears to
mark do not worry, it is usually not the steel but something
deposited on it which has stained.
Wash all surfaces before use:
You should use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or soap, or
similar cleaner. Always rinse well with clean water and dry the
surface with a soft cloth. Clean regularly when in use. Do use
soft cloths, nylon or bristle brushes.
Do not use:
Metal scrapers, wire brushes or wire wool pads as they can
scratch the steel. Do take care when handling sharp objects as
they can scratch the surface of stainless steel. Any scratches on
stainless steel will blend together over a period of time and
become less noticeable with age. There is no detriment to the
corrosion resistance or general performance of the material.
Do not use:
Bleach for cleaning purposes (remember dishwasher powders,
sterilising agents and similar products all contain chlorides). If
used, black pit marks, large brown patches or other such effects
may appear and permanent damage may be caused. If used
inadvertently rinse immediately with clean water.
Do not splash the unit with bleach when cleaning around
the counter:
If you do, rinse the surface immediately with clean water
thoroughly.
Do not allow:
Corrosive foodstuffs such as fruit juices, vinegar, mustards,
pickles, mayonnaise, etc., to remain on stainless steel for long
periods. Wash and rinse away.
Do not leave:
Steel objects or utensils standing on the stainless steel surfaces
for long periods. They can rust and leave marks.
After cleaning with detergent always remove residues with a
wet cloth and wipe dry, if left they can have an etching effect
on the surface.
Correctly applied the instructions will result in continuous good
looks!
5. MAINTENANCE & SPARES
Important: You must disconnect the appliance from the mains
before removing any components which have been fastened
using screws, etc.
Routine Maintenance
The refrigeration system WILL pick up dust from the air which
builds up on certain parts, causing them to lose effectiveness. It
is important to call a service engineer to examine, and clear, the
system as necessary or every 6 months.
To access the condenser for cleaning remove the front grill
must be removed. Clear condenser with a brush and clean
away the dust.
You should have the various items in your unit tested for
electrical safety at least once a year as required by the Electricity
at Work Regulations.
Spare parts are available for all models of equipment. These can
be obtained by contacting your distributor.
When ordering any spare parts always quote the model and
