VMC Cleaning & Operating Procedure

E9 Airex Refig Food Display

Operations

Ensure the unit is maintaining temperature between 0°C-5°C
Ensure the doors are CLOSED when not loading to maintain temperature
DO NOT place warm/hot items in the unit to chill, placing warm/hot items in the unit can lead to food spoilage and possibly food poisoning

Air vents must NOT be covered
There should NOT be any overhang of products on the shelves
Shelves are only designed to hold one layer of product. Overloading can break/damage the shelves
Remove some products if the shelves are flexing or bending
Shelves should be adjusted to allow air space around all the product for even refrigeration and efficient operation of the refrigerator. Leave an air space of at least 50mm above the product for air circulation

Light should be turned off but the refrigerator must stay turned on to keep product cold

The system has an automatic defrost system which improves the energy efficiency of the unit and minimised the temperature fluctuations
The unit will automatically defrost every 6 hours
The defrost cycle terminates when the temperature of the evaporator coil rises to 6°C or after 30 minutes. Product will remain refrigerated during the defrost cycle if the doors remain closed

Press and hold the DEFROST button for 5 seconds
The defrost cycle will start immediately and the defrost LED illuminates. The defrost will last a maximum of 30 minutes
