Need help?Do you have a question about the Avantco 360BCC28HCB and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as a user manual for Avantco Refrigeration's Refrigerated Bakery Display Cases, providing comprehensive guidance on their setup, operation, and maintenance. The primary function of these units is to store and display bakery products at optimal, food-safe temperatures, ensuring their freshness and appeal to customers.
The manual begins with a critical section on warnings, emphasizing the importance of safety due to the use of flammable refrigerant. It explicitly states that repairs should only be performed by trained service personnel and warns against puncturing the refrigerant tubing. This highlights the specialized nature of the equipment and the need for professional handling in case of malfunction. Users are advised to consult the repair manual or owner's guide before attempting any service and to follow all safety precautions, including careful handling instructions in compliance with local government regulations. The warnings are provided in English, Spanish, and French, indicating the manufacturer's commitment to broad accessibility and safety communication.
The installation section provides crucial guidelines for setting up the display case. It specifies that the unit is designed for use in a temperature-controlled environment, ideally below 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 55% relative humidity. Operating the unit outside these conditions may lead to malfunction and void the warranty, underscoring the importance of environmental control for optimal performance and warranty coverage. Key installation instructions include allowing the unit to stand upright for at least 24 hours if it was transported on its side, ensuring it reaches the desired temperature before loading products, and providing proper ventilation around the unit. Users are also instructed to install all accessories, such as shelves and shelf clips, before plugging in the unit. The manual strictly advises against attempting to remove or repair any components without authorization and warns against hanging on doors or sitting inside the unit. It also recommends placing the unit away from doors, air ducts, and fans to prevent disruption of airflow and negative impacts on performance.
Further cabinet location guidelines emphasize installing the unit on strong, level surfaces to prevent noise and malfunction. It specifies that the unit must be used indoors in a well-ventilated area, with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance at the back for best performance. Direct sunlight and high-humidity or dusty areas should be avoided, as humidity above 55% can cause rust, condensation, and decreased efficiency. Dust accumulation on the condenser coil is also identified as a cause of malfunction. The manual explicitly states that malfunctions due to temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit, humidity above 55%, or improperly maintained condenser coils will void the warranty, reinforcing the need for proper environmental conditions and maintenance. Additionally, it advises against installing the unit near heat and moisture-generating equipment or in confined spaces like closets or alcoves, as high ambient temperatures can cause the compressor to malfunction.
The digital temperature controller section describes how to operate the unit's temperature settings, although it notes that the refrigerator is factory-set for optimum food safety and typically requires no adjustments. Users can view the set temperature by pressing the "SET" button and modify it using the up or down arrows. The manual also explains the functions of the refrigerant LED, which indicates compressor operation and delay start, and the defrost LED, which signals the defrost cycle and delayed display of defrost. A dedicated button for turning interior lights on or off is also provided. The manual details how to manually initiate or stop a defrost cycle by pressing and holding the defrost button for 6 seconds.
The electrical section provides critical safety information regarding power supply. It mandates ensuring the correct voltage is supplied at all times and that the unit is plugged into a grounded, properly sized electrical outlet with appropriate over-current protection, referring users to the unit's nameplate for specific electrical requirements. The unit should have its own dedicated outlet, and extension cords are strictly prohibited. Users are warned against resting the unit on or against the electrical cord and advised to unplug the unit if it will not be used for an extended period. To prevent shock and fire hazards, plugging or unplugging the unit with wet hands is forbidden. A crucial instruction is to wait at least 10 minutes after unplugging the unit before plugging it back in to prevent damage to the compressor.
The defrost system is described as an automatic feature where refrigeration coils are kept below freezing. During compressor downtime, the evaporator fan circulates air, raising the coil temperature to melt accumulated frost, which then drains into an evaporator pan and evaporates. This automatic system simplifies maintenance for the user.
The safety and warning section reiterates several critical points. It warns against overloading outlets, using extension cords, and placing hands under the unit while it is being moved. Unplugging the unit during maintenance and cleaning, and waiting 10 minutes before replugging, are emphasized to prevent compressor damage. Proper grounding is highlighted as essential to minimize shock and fire hazards. Users are explicitly warned against attempting unauthorized repairs, resting the unit on electrical cords, hanging on doors, storing flammable or explosive materials inside, or tampering with the electrical cord.
The operation and maintenance section provides practical advice for daily use and upkeep. It strongly recommends that any servicing be performed by an authorized service technician. For loading products, users are advised not to block air vents, ensure shelves are level and secure, and avoid storing flammable or explosive gases or liquids inside the unit.
Maintenance features include instructions for cleaning the fan blades and motor, recommending a soft cloth and covering the motor if washing the blades to prevent moisture damage. For cleaning the interior, a solvent of warm water and mild soap is suggested, with warnings against using steel wool, caustic soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach, which could damage the interior finish. Periodic removal and cleaning of shelves and shelf brackets with mild soap and warm water are also recommended.
A key maintenance feature is cleaning the condenser coil, which is crucial for efficient operation. The manual advises keeping the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint, and recommends cleaning it at least once per month. This regular cleaning prevents malfunctions and ensures the unit operates efficiently, contributing to its longevity and performance.
The troubleshooting section offers a comprehensive guide to common issues and their solutions. For a compressor not running, it suggests checking for blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers, unplugged power cords, incorrect thermostat settings, or if the unit is in a defrost cycle. If condensing units run for long periods, solutions include allowing adequate time for products to cool, ensuring doors are closed, cleaning the condenser coil, or defrosting an iced-over evaporator coil. For issues with cabinet temperature being too warm or fluctuating, the manual advises checking thermostat settings, re-arranging products for proper airflow, allowing adequate cooling time, checking for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers, cleaning the condenser coil, ensuring doors are closed, and contacting a service technician for low refrigerant levels. If condensation collects on the cabinet or floor, it suggests moving the unit to an area with lower relative humidity. Finally, for interior light issues, it recommends checking the switch connection, ensuring the bulb is correctly inserted, or replacing a burned-out bulb. This detailed troubleshooting guide empowers users to address minor issues independently, reducing the need for service calls.
