Safety Rules:

• Danger:
  • Strictly distinguish power wire, relay output, sensor down-lead, and data line. Do not overload the relay.
  • Prohibit connecting wire terminals without electricity cut-off.
• Warning:
  • Do not use the unit in environments with excessive dampness, high temperature, strong electromagnetism interference, or strong corrosion.
  • The power supply must conform to the indicated voltage and maintain a steady supply.
  • To avoid interference, keep the sensor down-lead/data line and power wire at a proper distance.
  • If an evaporator sensor is installed, ensure it is well connected to the copper tube, 5cm away from the evaporator inlet.

Medical & Pharmacy Refrigerator (EL-RG-4M / EL-RG-4K) Specifics:

Installation:

• Safety Information:
  • All electrical work must be performed by qualified persons.
  • Do not use for purposes other than a beverage/medical refrigerator.
  • Do not cover the front grille or block rear air entry.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation.
  • Do not probe openings or touch moving/hot parts.
  • Do not overload the power supply; check the rating label.
  • Consult a qualified electrician for problems; avoid extension leads or multiple adaptors.
  • Replace damaged mains supply cords with manufacturer-approved parts.
  • Disconnect mains power before cleaning or maintenance.
  • Do not store explosive substances.
  • Do not use mechanical devices to accelerate defrosting (defrosting is automatic).
  • Do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
  • Do not use electrical appliances inside the storage compartment.
• Assembly:
  • Remove packaging and protective film.
  • Fit shelf support clips securely at the same height.
  • Position shelves carefully.
  • Dispose of waste packaging according to local recycling laws.
• Positioning:

  • Maximum recommended ambient temperature: 38°C.
  • Avoid direct sunlight or damp areas.
  • Allow adequate space for door(s) to open fully.
  • Ensure the unit is level for proper door sealing and evaporator tray drainage; adjust screw feet if necessary.
  • If the unit has not been stored or moved upright, let it stand upright for approximately 12 hours before operation.
• Ventilation:
  • All models require clear, unobstructed ventilation from the entire front grille surface.
  • 2 and 3-door models can be built into an enclosure with front-only ventilation.
  • Single-door models require a minimum ventilation space of 20mm at the sides and rear.
  • Failure to provide minimum ventilation space can harm performance, cause fire, and invalidate the warranty.
  • Keep all ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
• Power Supply:
  • Uses a three-pin plug that must be well grounded.
  • Do not ground through gas pipes, tap water pipes, or single-phase power supply grounded wire.
  • Do not share the circuit with other appliances.
  • Before plugging in, ensure the power cable is undamaged and voltage matches the serial plate.
  • Upon plugging in, the display shows the internal temperature, and the compressor will start after a delay.
  • If power is cut off, wait at least 5 minutes before plugging the unit back in to avoid compressor damage.
