TROUBLESHOOTING  
If the unit malfunctions, check out the following before calling for service.  
Malfunction  
The chamber is not cooled  
at all  
Check/Remedy  
The voltage is too low. (In this case, call an electrician.)  
The breaker is free.  
The fuse is blown.  
Sometimes the freezer is not cooled at all for about 5 minutes after  
starting-up.  
The ambient temperature is too high.  
The door is not shut tightly.  
The cooling is poor  
The inner lid is not installed correctly.  
The set temperature in the controller is not set properly.  
The grille is blocked out.  
The filter is clogged. Clean the filter when the filter check lamp  
blinks.  
The freezer is in the direct sunlight.  
There is any heating source near the freezer.  
A rubber cap and insulation for the access port are not set  
correctly.

TEMPERATURE RECORDER (Option)  
Setting of back-up temperature  
1. There is a red guide on the top of the temperature displayer. Adjust the guide with your finger to  
back-up temperature, at which temperature the auxiliary cooling system starts to operate.  
2. Set at a temperature 15oC higher than that of the freezer compartment.  
Penholder  
Install a recording pen in the recording hand as  
shown in the figure. Make sure that the pen is  
completely inserted for accurate recording. The  
pen is packed together with the chart.

The additional felt pen or recording paper is available from Sanyo sales agency.  
To stop the temperature recorder, remove the cell from the recorder. The back-up system can operate  
without recorder cell. Always remove a felt pen as well because the recording paper can be torn  
resulting from ink spot. The torn paper may interfere pen tip movement, which results in no activation of  
back-up system.  
The cell for recorder normally keeps about 1 year. However, the cell life is shorten depending on the  
ambient temperature condition. The enclosed cell may have shorter life since it is for monitor.  
The liquid leakage or rust can be caused when a used cell or a cell over effective limit is left as it is,  
which gives adverse effect on the recorder.  
Operate the freezer until the chamber temperature gets to the set temperature. Check the recorded  
temperature and chamber temperature displayed on the control panel. Adjust the zero adjustment  
volume on the temperature recorder so that the recorded temperature can corresponds with the displayed  
temperature if they are not compliance each other.

BACK-UP SYSTEM (Option)  
WARNING  
As with any equipment that uses CO2 gas, there is a likelihood of oxygen depletion in the vicinity  
of the equipment. It is important that you assess the work site to endure there is suitable and  
sufficient ventilation. If restricted ventilation is suspected, then other methods of ensuring a safe  
environment must be considered. These may include atmosphere monitoring and warning  
devices.  
The freezer is provided with an automatic liquid CO2 gas injection device as a back-up system. This  
freezer prevents the chamber temperature from going up by injecting the liquid CO2 gas when the power  
supply is disconnected (power failure, disconnection of power cord, breaker OFF) or in the case of failure  
of freezer itself. The liquid CO2 gas is injected with the activation of solenoid valve energized by battery  
when the chamber temperature reaches the alarm temperature.  
Following shows the procedure for setting the back-up system.  
1. Setting of liquid CO2 gas cylinder  
Liquid CO2  
gas cylinder  
By using the joint and pipe enclosed with the  
freezer, connect the liquid CO2 gas cylinder to the  
joint of the back-up system. For this setting,  
consult with a qualified gas supplier or Sanyo sales  
agency.  
Rough scheme  
Battery  
2. After setting the liquid CO2 gas cylinder, operate  
the freezer until the chamber temperature reaches  
the required level.  
Pipe  
Solenoid valve  
3. Set the warning indicator of the temperature  
setting knob of the back-up system at the  
temperature higher than -70oC. The back-up  
system is operated continuously if the warning  
indicator is set at the temperature lower than -70oC.  
This means the liquid CO2 gas is consumed very  
quickly.  
4. Switch on the back-up system.  
5. Make sure that liquid CO2 gas spouts into the freezer chamber by pressing the back-up test switch.  
Note:  
• The liquid CO2 gas cylinder loses its cooling capacity at speed when the ambient temperature is over  
31oC. Install the liquid CO2 gas cylinder in the cool environment. And the duration of back-up time per  
one liquid CO2 gas cylinder varies depending on the ambient temperature. Refer to “Installation of  
back-up system” enclosed with the freezer for the available back-up time.  
• The liquid CO2 gas cylinder should be a siphon type.  
• Use the pipe encloses with the freezer for the setting. (The extension of the pipe is not permitted  
because of cooling capacity.)
