Important Notes: Please read carefully before installing your freezer. This Labcold product has been made with great care, tested thoroughly before being sent to you, and is expected to give good service over many years if looked after. The following information is provided for your guidance: 1.
Acceptance: Immediately upon delivery to you the product packaging and the product itself should be inspected for any signs of damage. It was perfect when it left us and should still be so when you receive it. If this is not the case please contact the supplier from whom you ordered it within three days of delivery.
2.
Positioning: Units should be positioned so as to allow adequate airflow around the refrigeration compartment. Once in its final position for use, the equipment must be left to stand for at least 2 hours before being switched on to prevent damage to the refrigeration system.
3.
Stabilisation: Following the above resting period the equipment can be switched on and left for at least 24 hours to cool down and the temperature to stabilise. After this time the unit should be checked for correct operation. Only after this should the product be used for the storage of material.
4.
Calibration: If desired, and following steps 1 to 3 above, the operating temperature inside the chamber (at the centre) may be checked against an independent thermometer of verified accuracy. Any adjustment necessary can then be made by reference to the appropriate section in this manual. All Labcold products have their operating temperatures factory set when being built but during transit, or when being operated in a different environment, small adjustments are sometimes necessary. Such adjustments are intended to be performed by the user and are not covered by the warranty.
5.
Recalibration: For improved long term performance and security of contents the operation outlined in 4 above should be repeated at regular intervals. Labcold recommends once every six months.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LABCOLD SUPERFREEZER MODEL RLHE1345 This freezer has been designed for reliability, efficiency of operation and long life. A little care with its sitting and use will be amply rewarded. POSITION The freezer should be positioned on a solid level floor allowing an air space of 75mm around it. This air space is required to dissipate the heat, which is extracted from the chamber. If the freezer has been tipped during positioning, it should be left to stand for 24 hours prior to switching on. The freezer should be sited in a position that is as cool and well ventilated as practical and out of direct sunlight. SERVICES The freezer is best connected to an individual fused spur protected by a 13 amp fuse. Connection can also be made through a suitable plug again fused at 13 amps. A removable plug adds to the chance of accidental disconnection of the equipment. If the electric supply has an RCD fitted, it must be of a value of at least 70mA to avoid nuisance trips. If the remote alarm connections are required they are found on the rear of the freezer. The contacts are clearly labelled and are rated up to a maximum of 500mA at 24V D.C.
