Overview

The Franke Convertible Cooler Freezer is a versatile refrigeration unit designed for point-of-use access to fresh proteins at a grill station. It is available in two models: 2DCV-30 and 2DCV-18, with part numbers 18012498 and 18014345 respectively. The unit features two drawers capable of holding specially designed organizers (not included) for product storage. These drawers and optional organizers are easily removable for cleaning. A key feature of this appliance is its ability to switch between refrigerator and freezer modes by flipping a toggle switch, offering flexibility for various operational needs.

Function Description:

The Convertible Cooler Freezer provides temporary storage for food items, allowing users to switch between cooling and freezing functions as required. In refrigerator mode, the left digital temperature controller monitors and adjusts the unit's temperature. When in freezer mode, the right digital controller performs this function. This dual-mode capability makes it suitable for environments where both refrigeration and freezing are necessary for different types of products. The unit is designed for commercial use and is intended to be operated by qualified persons only, such as certified technicians or tradespersons.

Important Technical Specifications:

The factory preset temperature for refrigerator mode is 37.5° F (3° C), with an adjustable range of 32.5° to 41.5° F (0° to 5° C). For freezer mode, the preset temperature is -5° F (-20.5° C), with an adjustable range of -2° to -8° F (-19° to -22° C). The unit utilizes R-290 (Propane) as a refrigerant, which necessitates specific safety precautions due to its flammability. The unit includes a main power ON/OFF switch located on the front, above the two drawers. Only one temperature controller is powered ON at a time, corresponding to the active refrigeration mode.

Usage Features:

  • Temperature Adjustment: Users can adjust the temperature by pressing the SET button on the appropriate controller (refrigerator or freezer) and using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons. The new setting is saved by pressing the POWER button twice.
  • Refrigeration Mode Toggle: To switch between refrigerator and freezer modes, users must first empty the drawers, perform a manual defrost, and thoroughly clean the unit. An access panel on the back of the refrigerator must be removed to access a toggle switch inside the electrical box. Flipping this switch to the UP position activates freezer mode, while the DOWN position activates refrigerator mode. After switching modes, sufficient time must be allowed for the unit to adjust to the new refrigeration mode before reloading product.
  • Drawer Operation: The drawers are designed for easy removal and installation. To remove, locate the drawer lock on the front of each slider, push down, and pull the locks forward until they pivot upward. Lift the drawer front slightly and pull it forward. To remove the sliders, lift the front end and slide them free from the rails. For installation, push the sliders completely back into their rails and pull the slider lock forward to re-engage. Gently set the drawer rails back onto the rollers and push the drawer in until completely closed. Reopen and pull the drawer outward, then push the drawer lock upward while simultaneously towards the back to lock it in place.
  • Store Opening/Closing Procedures: For store opening, turn the power switch ON and allow drawers to reach operating temperature before loading. For store closing, turn the power switch OFF, unload all product into appropriate cold storage, and clean the unit according to the store's Planned Maintenance Manual.

Maintenance Features:

  • Automatic Defrosting: The Convertible Cooler Freezer is designed for automatic evaporator coil defrosting under normal operating conditions, eliminating the need for manual defrosting by the operator.
  • Manual Defrost: A manual defrost can be initiated by pressing and holding the DOWN arrow button for 5 to 7 seconds on the controller. The display will show "dEF," indicating the unit has entered defrost mode to warm the evaporator coil. The controller will display the current temperature once defrosting is complete.
  • Cleaning: The unit should be cleaned regularly. Stainless steel surfaces should not be scraped with metal objects, and refrigerated surfaces should defrost naturally. Excessive liquids or water jets/steam cleaners should be avoided to prevent damage to electrical components. The condenser coil should be cleaned with a soft bristle brush as part of the store's Planned Maintenance Manual.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the unit not running, not reaching target operating temperatures, or product being above the target temperature. Remedies include checking the rocker switch, circuit breaker, ambient temperature, condenser coil cleanliness, ice buildup, and ensuring proper pre-chilling of food.
  • Warranty: Franke Foodservice Solutions offers a warranty for Franke-manufactured equipment, including 2 years for all components (parts and labor) and an additional 3 years for the compressor (parts only). The warranty excludes expendable parts, damages from improper operation, maintenance, or cleaning, unauthorized repairs, alterations, water quality issues, abuse, fire, flood, or acts of God. It also requires adherence to Franke's instructions and the use of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
