Need help?Do you have a question about the Foster Prep Station PS1000HR and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for the Foster Prep Station models PS1000HR and PS1400HR, which are commercial refrigeration appliances. The manual outlines four key steps to extend the life of the appliance: getting to know it, installation, using it, and maintenance.
The Foster Prep Station is a commercial refrigeration appliance designed for food preparation and storage. It is intended to maintain specific internal temperatures suitable for preserving food items, typically in a professional kitchen environment. The appliance features multiple compartments, likely for different types of food or ingredients, and a worktop area for preparation. The design suggests it is a robust unit, built for demanding commercial use, with an emphasis on hygiene and ease of cleaning.
The manual provides a "Climate Class" table, indicating the ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions under which the appliance is designed to operate.
These specifications are crucial for ensuring the appliance operates efficiently and effectively in its intended environment.
The weight of the appliances is also specified for packaging removal:
This information is important for safe handling and installation, indicating that the PS1000HR requires at least 2 people for handling, and the PS1400HR requires at least 4 people.
The appliance must be connected to an electrical supply protected by a Residual Current Device (RCD). A residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) type socket or a Residual Current Circuit Breaker with overload protection (RCBO) supplied circuit may be used. If the fuse needs replacement, it must be of the value stated on the serial label for the appliance.
Several general safety guidelines are provided:
The appliance contains components and materials that can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of correctly. Disposal should be carried out by a suitably licensed waste contractor in accordance with national laws and regulations.
The appliance includes a display with icons and buttons for operation.
Pressing button 4 for 3 seconds will turn the unit on or into standby. When operating normally, the display shows the internal temperature.
The display shows the temperature, and pressing and holding button 1 allows adjustment of the set point. Button 1 is used to release the new value. Keypad security settings may be in place, requiring button 1 to be pressed until 'Loc' is displayed, then button 1 again to show the current lock condition. Buttons 2 or 3 change the display to either lock or unlock the controller. Button 1 and either 10 seconds or button 4 are used to resume normal operation.
The appliance has an automatic defrost function and will defrost periodically without user intervention. Manual defrost can be initiated by pressing button 2.
The appliance is supplied with adjustable, removable shelf clips and shelves. Each shelf is capable of holding up to 40kg of product evenly distributed. It is important not to block air vents with product. A minimum of 25mm should be maintained between the top of the product and the shelf above. Product should be placed on the base of the appliance if it is required to store product on the base. Foster parts team can be contacted to purchase necessary shelf and spacers. Adequate airflow is maintained around the perimeter of the shelves and around all stored products.
The PS1000HR comes with 4 shelves, and the PS1400HR with 6 shelves. The manual illustrates how to insert the top clip into the desired shelf position and compress the clip to insert into the lower slot. Additional shelves can be purchased (PS1000HR X 16, PS1400HR X 24).
Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove loose dust and dirt from the Condenser Air Grill.
Regular cleaning of the condenser (located behind the Condenser Air Grill) increases energy efficiency and prolongs the life of the appliance. Never use a wire brush, abrasive, or corrosive materials to clean the condenser. This should be carried out periodically by a competent engineer as outlined in the Regular Maintenance section.
All door gaskets should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced if necessary if damaged. To clean, wipe with a warm damp soapy cloth followed by a clean damp cloth.
The shelves in the appliance 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.
The regular cleaning regime described above does not remove dirt or grease deposits from the condenser. It should be cleaned by a competent engineer. Foster recommends an engineer services the appliance every 6-12 months to maintain warranty and ensure optimal performance. Service is carried out by an authorised Foster agent or by contacting the Foster service team.
The manual includes a troubleshooting section with common problems, checks, and solutions:
If the malfunction cannot be identified, disconnect the electrical supply from the unit and contact your authorised dealer or Foster Service. When requesting a service call, please quote the model and serial number which can be found on the inside of the appliance on the right hand wall.
