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.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
flammable propellant in this appliance.
Only use this appliance with the voltage specified on the cabinet rating
label affixed to the inside of the cabinet.
Ensure the appliance 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

User Manual
Positioning the Cabinet
Climate Class The freezer is designed to operate within a climate class 5 environment
(40°C @ 40% RH). We recommend that you put the freezer in the coolest
place possible because it will use less power and last longer.
Freezer
Location Avoid direct sunlight, warm draughts etc. Allow adequate space for doors to
open and close properly. Self-closing doors have internal torsion bars
pretensioned at the factory, and must be unobstructed. Ensure the cabinet
sits on a level surface so that the doors shut and correctly seal. Level footing
also prevents the condensate tray from overflowing.
Power Cord The power cord exits from the top rear of the cabinet and is fitted with a 3-pin
plug. Pull the power cord around so that it’s not trapped before you position
the cabinet. Note: Single unit freezers are fitted with one power cord. Twin
unit freezers are fitted with two power cords, one for each refrigeration unit.
Ventilation See diagram below for ventilation guidelines. When positioning the freezer,
ensure there is at least a 200mm space above the top panel. Adequate
ventilation around the refrigeration unit is essential for efficient operation.
The air surrounding the refrigeration unit must not exceed 40°C. Keep the
ventilation slots at the top of the cabinet clear at all times and never store
cardboard cartons or other objects on top of the freezer.
Note: Remote cabinets require a minimum of 300mm clearance above the
top panel to allow for service access.

User Manual
2Operation
Automatic Start-Up
After the cabinet has been positioned in a suitable place, plug it in and check
the following activity.
Loading Product
Let the freezer run for 30 minutes before loading it with product the first time.
When loading the freezer:
Allow adequate air space around each item to ensure even cooling and
efficient operation of the freezer.
Do not exceed a maximum load of 20kg per shelf.
Remove some product if the shelves are flexing.
Do not let anything overhang the shelves because this might stop the
doors from shutting or even break something.
Do not load product above the load limit indicators shown on the cabinet
interior sides (see image below).
Item Activity
Condenser Fan The condenser fan starts and runs at a slow speed. When the
compressor starts, the condenser fan will run at full speed.
Lighting
The lights that illuminate cabinet interior and top sign (where
applicable) will come on when the freezer is turned on. The
light/s can be switched on and off via the electronic controller
(see over page). Cabinets fitted with solid doors use an
automatic light switch to turn the light on and off with door
openings.
Electronic
Controller
An electronic controller runs the freezer and is visible on the
control panel above the door/s. The electronic controller
display panel shows the cabinet temperature.
Note: Twin unit freezers are fitted with two electronic
controllers, one for each refrigeration unit. Only one electronic
controller is visible.
Compressor
The compressor starts about one minute after the lights go on.
The compressor turns off when the product temperature
reaches around -21°C and turns on again when it reaches
about -18°C.
Evaporator Fan
The evaporator fan will not operate until the evaporator probe
senses a temperature of -8°C on the evaporator coil. When
the evaporator coil is below -8°C, the evaporator will run at
slow speed or fast speed as required.

programming. SKOPE does not recommend that the settings be changed
unless necessary.
Note: Twin unit freezers freezers are fitted with two electronic controllers,
one for each refrigeration unit.
