Models Applicable to This Manual

General Electrical Safety

Foster Refrigerator recommends that the equipment is electrically connected via a Residual Current Device; such

as a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) type socket, or through a Residual Current Circuit Breaker with

Overload Protection (RCBO) supplied circuit.

Disposal Requirements

If not disposed of properly all refrigerators have components that can be harmful to the environment. All old

refrigerators must be disposed of by appropriately registered and licensed waste contractors, and in accordance

with national laws and regulations.

Start-Up and Operation

After unpacking, clean and allow the cabinet or counter to stand for 2 hours before turning on (cleaning

directions supplied within this manual)

. Ensure the cabinet is situated on a firm, level surface away from both

hot and cold air sources, as this will affect its performance.

Vaporiser Tray (Dual Temperature Models Only)

On delivery, the tray is attached to the rear of the cabinet. Remove the two fixing screws and slide the vaporiser

tray underneath the cabinet, into the two fixed runners.

Bend the corner tabs of the tray upwards, then using the guide holes already in the cabinet secure the tray in

position with the two screws originally removed.

The heaters electrical connection to the cabinet will already be in place. Ensure the drain line pipe is angled in an

upright position to form an air lock.

Please make sure that when positioning a dual temperature model with an external vaporiser tray the tray does

not come into contact with any other surfaces.

Clearance (All models)

Make sure that a minimum clearance of 310mm above and 50mm around the ca

binet or counter

is available for

ventilation and effective operation.

Connect the unit to a suitable mains power outlet and turn the supply on. Please do not plug or unplug the unit

with wet hands.

The cabinet will energise briefly showing followed by the power switch slowly pulsing with a blank display.

The unit is now in standby.

Standby

Pressing the power switch for 3 seconds will turn the unit on (the switch backlight is static and the display shows

the operating temperature) or into standby (the switch backlight pulses slowly on and off).

As the operating temperature has been preset no adjustments are required. Allow the cabinet to reach its normal/

set operating temperature before loading.

mportant Note to the Installer:

Please ensure that this document is passed to the user as it contains

important guidelines on operation, loading, cleaning and general

maintenance and should be kept for reference.

Shelves and Supports

G2 shelving for low, high or meat temperature cabinets consist of two trayslides per shelf. These slot directly into

the rear of the cabinet’s airduct and have ladderacking to support the front.

Shelves are the standard wire gastronorm style that slide onto the trayslides. Fish cabinets come with fixed

racking and fish bins, wine cabinets with the required bottle racking/holder assembly. Both of these are fitted

instead of standard shelving.

Chef and Standard Drawers

(on counter models only)

To Remove a Chef Drawer

Pull out the drawer to its full extent. Lift the side release lever upwards (as

shown in the 2nd diagram).

With the lever lifted the drawer can be removed from the sliders and the

counter.

To Remove a Standard Drawer

Pull out the drawer to its full extent. Lift the drawer body upwards and then retract the drawer body towards you

again.

Food

Cover all foods and separate raw and cooked foods to avoid cross contamination.

Loading and Airflow

Ensure that there is no more than 40kg of evenly distribute product placed on or within each shelf or drawer.

Always ensure the air can circulate around/through the stored product.

It is important that for optimal energy performance that adequate airflow is maintained around the perimeter of the

shelves, and around all stored products.

On all models please ensure that no product is placed on the unit base.

Door & Drawer Lock

To lock the door or drawer insert the key and turn 90°, turn in the opposite direction to unlock.

Defrost

All Foster G2 cabinets are fitted with a fully automatic defrost system to ensure that the evaporator coil remains

free from ice during normal use. Melt-water is evaporated using either the heat from the refrigeration system or a

separate electric heater (dependent upon model and configuration)

To activate a manual defrost

- while the cabinet is in ‘run’ mode press and hold for 5 seconds. After 3

seconds the display will go blank then return after a further 2 seconds. At this point a defrost will be performed
(subject to underlying operating parameters), this will terminate automatically.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Important: Before cleaning, the unit should be put into standby and then the power supply should be

turned off at the mains. Please do not plug or unplug the unit with wet hands. Only when cleaning has

been completed and the unit is dry should the cabinet be turned back on at the mains.

Suitable P.P.E (Personal Protective Equipment) should be worn at all times.

Regular Maintenance:

and when required remove all product and shelving (beware of cold and or sharp components) from

the unit. Clean exterior and interior surfaces with mild liquid detergent, following the directions on the

pack at all times. Rinse surfaces with a damp cloth containing clean water. Never use wire wool, scouring

pads/powders or high alkaline cleaning agents i.e bleaches, acids and chlorines as these may cause

damage.

All gaskets should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced if damaged. To clean, wipe with a warm

damp soapy cloth followed by a clean damp cloth. Finally thoroughly dry.

Shelves and their supports can be removed for cleaning. The shelves are dishwasher safe; however the

vertical supports should be cleaned with warm soapy water then rinsed and dried.

Condenser Cleaning

Maintenance should take place on a regular basis or as and when required by a competent/trained

personnel.

If there are any stubborn grease deposits left on or through the condenser call your supplier to carry out

a full service (this is normally chargeable). Failure to maintain the condenser may invalidate the warranty

of the condensing unit and cause premature failure of the motor/compressor. Do not use a wire brush to

clean the condenser.

Power Failure Warning

‘ ‘ will be displayed, the alarm will sound and will show when there has been a mains power failure that
