ADA Undercounter Laboratory Refrigerator Operation | 9

Operation

Start-Up Procedure

Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward

the higher numbers for colder temperatures. Higher settings

on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures

(colder) in the refrigerator.

On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots inside

the cabinet may drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat

settings only when required or recommended.

To check chamber temperature, place a dial thermometer on

a shelf in the center of the chamber. Initially, rotate the

temperature control knob to an arbitrary setting. Allow

approximately 2 hours for the temperature to initially stabilize.

Check the temperature and compare with the dial setting.

Adjust dial further to reach the desired operating temperature.

After chamber initially stabilizes, allow 1/2 to 1 hour for the

chamber temperature to stabilize after subsequent

temperature adjustments.

If the room thermostat is turned below 60ºF at night, consider

setting the temperature control one step colder. It should be

left at this setting for the nighttime period; return temperature

control to original setting when the room thermostat is

returned to its normal setting.

Restart Procedure

If unit is unplugged or turned off, allow 3 minutes before

restarting or plugging it back in.

How to Save Energy

• Be sure to follow location suggestions as mentioned in

the Installation.

• Wipe moisture from glassware or other materials before

placing them in a unit.

• Don't overcrowd the unit. Too many items can increase

electrical energy demand in order to keep everything

cool.

• Close the door as soon as possible in hot, humid

weather.

• Make certain that the door is closed tightly.

• As soon as frost has accumulated to 1/4", defrost.

• Keep containers covered, when possible, to reduce

moisture buildup.

• Set operating temperature no colder than necessary for

the items being refrigerated.

Safety Tips

CAUTION: Do not use in the presence of

flammable or combustible materials or explosive

gases. Fire or explosion could result, causing

death or severe injury.

After a unit is in operation, do not touch the cold

surfaces, particularly when hands are damp. Skin

may adhere to the cold surfaces.

We recommend handling samples by wearing

gloves to avoid frost bite.

Never disconnect your unit by pulling the power

cord. Always grip the plug securely and pull

straight out from the outlet.

Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or

abrasions. Have a qualified electrician repair or

replace damaged cords immediately.

10 | Maintenance ADA Undercounter Laboratory Refrigerator

Maintenance

Cleaning the Unit

Before beginning cleaning unit follow these instruction listed

below:

• Disconnect power cord from its outlet.

• Set the temperature control to the OFF position.

• The unit designs permit easy and rapid cleaning and

should not take more than a few minutes. Remember to

wear protective gloves to prevent frost bite, especially

when removing items from the unit.

• Do not use abrasive scouring powders, waxes, solvents,

furniture polish, undiluted detergents or cleansers

containing petroleum products on the surfaces of units.

Cleaning Interior/Exterior/

Door Gaskets

A solution of mild soap/detergent and lukewarm water can be

used for cleaning the interior, exterior and door gaskets with a

soft, clean cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly

before reconnecting and turning on the unit.

The cabinet interior should be cleaned frequently. Any spilled

liquid should be wiped off immediately since stains resulting

from some spills could be permanent if not quickly removed.

The most convenient time to clean the interior is after

defrosting.

Cleaning the Condenser

With forced-fan vented units, remove the screws that mount

the grill to the unit. Pull temperature control knobs straight out

this will expose condenser for cleaning.

These surfaces may be warm to the touch. The condenser

should be cleaned before becoming clogged with dirt/dust.

Construction or other dirt causing environments may

significantly increase the required frequency. The condenser

should be cleaned at least once a year.

Manual Defrost Procedure

Use the following procedure to defrost manually:

• Rotate the temperature control knob to the OFF setting

or zero position according to the model.

• Disconnect the power cord from its outlet.

• Remove contents of the unit. If practical, wrap contents

in paper and then in a heavy blanket to maintain

temperature of items. Wear protective gloves to prevent

from frost bite when handling cold items.

• Open door and allow free circulation of ambient air.

• To speed the process, place pan of warm water inside

the chamber.

• Wipe out the interior.

• Replace the contents.

• Reconnect the power cord to outlet and set temperature

control to desired operating temperature

CAUTION: When servicing the unit, disconnect

from the electrical power source.

CAUTION: Refer servicing to qualified

personnel.

CAUTION: Never clean around the condensers

with your fingers. Some surfaces are sharp.

CAUTION: Do not use any sharp instruments,

blade or scraper to remove ice and frost on

refrigerator surfaces because of the very real

danger of puncturing the cooling coil.

CAUTION: Do not use any electrical devices to

defrost the unit.

ADA Undercounter Laboratory Refrigerator Maintenance | 11

When frost accumulates to 1/4" or more, the operating

efficiency of the unit will be affected.

All laboratory refrigerators feature automatic defrosting and in

normal conditions no manual defrosting is required. However,

in certain conditions (e.g. when the refrigerator is very full or

when any new items are stored in the refrigerator) frost may

form on the rear wall of the equipment as the compressor

must run for long periods of time. As automatic defrosting

takes place while the compressor is not running, the

refrigerator may not defrost completely before the

compressor restarts. In these instances, some manual

defrosting may be required.

Before manually defrosting the cabinet, make sure the power

lead is disconnected from the mains. With cold wall

refrigerator, condensation may form on the interior of the

cabinet and may require periodic wipe- down with an

absorbent cloth.

In high usage and/or high ambient scenarios, excessive ice

may form on the inner back wall of the refrigerator and in the

worst case or sudden power cut-off event, drain pan might

overflow. Hence it is recommended to defrost frequently and

collect any build up ice from inside in a container and safely

dispose in the sink. If the drain pan has over flowed, empty

the pan and dry up the wet regions around before next

restart.

Transportation and

storage

Use all required local facility procedures and PPE while

transporting and storing the product.

12 | Troubleshooting ADA Undercounter Laboratory Refrigerator

Troubleshooting

This section is a guide to troubleshoot general operational problems.

Symptom Probable Cause Action

Unit does Not Run Unit Unplugged

Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

Temperature control knob is turned to OFF.

Plug in Unit

Check fuse or circuit breaker at breaker box.

Turn temperature control knob to ON.

Runs Continuously Frost build up on refrigeration coils.

Dust or lint buildup on condenser.

Door gasket worn out.

Temperature too low

Ambient temperature over 109ºF (43ºC)

Door opening frequency is high.

Defrost unit

Clean the condenser with a dry brush or

vacuum

A leak around the door gasket will allow cold

air to escape. This causes unit to work harder

than necessary to maintain cold temperatures.

Re-seat or replace the gasket if worn

This may cause unit to run continuously.

Check optimum running temperature

Is the ambient air over 109ºF (43ºC), or the

units located close to heat sources? If

possible, move to a different location.

An unusually high frequency of door openings

and closings can increase operating load. Unit

will stabilize as these are decreased.

Noise problems Contents of unit set too close and rattling

against each other.

Hissing or gurgling noise is caused by

refrigerating fluid circulating.

Unit is not level on floor

Fan noise

Rearrange contents as needed.

This is normal

Check the level of unit

Airflow can cause this. This is normal
