The KoolMore Refrigerated Salad Display is a commercial refrigeration unit designed for storing and displaying foodstuffs, particularly salads and other cold items, in a professional setting. It is available in two models, SCDC-7T and SCDC-8T, which differ primarily in their capacity and dimensions.
Function Description:
The primary function of this device is to keep food products, such as those in salad bars, at a consistently cool and safe temperature for display and serving. It features an internal compartment with trays where foodstuffs can be stored. The cooling system, located within the foamed insulation, utilizes a copper tube to maintain the desired temperature. A condensation area, situated on the right side, houses the motor-condensing unit responsible for the refrigeration cycle. The unit is equipped with a digital controller for precise temperature management.

- Location and Set Up:
- Handle With Care: The unit should not be tilted over 45 degrees during handling.
- Wait Period: After handling, a minimum two-hour waiting period is required before plugging in to allow refrigerants and oils to settle.
- Dry and Level Surface: Must be placed on a completely dry, solid, and level surface to prevent noise and malfunction.
- Sufficient Space: Requires at least 4 inches of clearance from walls or other surfaces to ensure proper airflow.
- Location Temperature: Should be placed indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture-generating equipment to prevent compressor malfunction and voiding of warranty.
- No Heavy Load: Avoid placing heavy loads on top or installing anything onto the refrigerator. Do not puncture holes.
- Power Supply:
- Requires a dedicated 110/60Hz outlet; no extension cords or shared outlets.
- Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord, and check for cable damage.
- After unplugging, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging back in to prevent compressor damage.
- Avoid plugging/unplugging with wet hands.
- Ensure correct voltage supply.
- Do not store flammable/explosive materials inside.
- Avoid flushing the refrigerator surface.
- Operation:
- Plug into a 115V exclusive socket.
- Set the desired temperature using the digital controller.
- Shelves are adjustable: remove, move supports to desired height, and place shelves. Equal spacing is recommended for even temperature distribution.
- Digital Controller:
- Set Temperature: Press
SET to display current set temperature, use up/down arrows to adjust, then press SET again to confirm.
- Lights: Press the
light bulb button to toggle lights on/off.
- Manual Defrost: Press and hold the
defrost button for 6 seconds to manually start or stop defrost.
- Refrigerant LED: On when the compressor is running, off when temperature is constant, flashes during delay start.

- For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
- Recommended cleaning frequency: at least once per month.
- Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner.
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:
- No refrigeration: Check if plugged in, fuse working, and power available.
- Unsatisfactory refrigeration: Check for direct sunlight, nearby heat sources, adequate ventilation, proper door closure, prolonged door open times, deformed/damaged door seal, food blocking air suction/outlet, or if the refrigerator is too full.
- Refrigerator too noisy: Check if the refrigerator is level, touching a wall, or if there is a loose part.
