Installation & Operational Considerations

Placement:
Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit for ventilation and optimum airflow performance.

Power:
Requires a 240 V electrical supply with appropriate protection and connection according to site wiring regulations.

Condensate & drainage:
Includes an automatic vapourising condensate system — ensure local installation allows safe vapour discharge or drainage where applicable.

Mobility & positioning:
The robust castors allow the unit to be moved for cleaning or repositioning. Always lock the brakes once the chiller/freezer is in place.

Loading:
For the best results, load the cabinet evenly using suitable trays or containers. Avoid overloading and ensure adequate air circulation.

Cycle selection:
Choose from hard chill, soft chill, hard freeze, soft freeze, store or core probe modes depending on product density and moisture level.

Maintenance:
Regularly clean the stainless-steel surfaces, check door seals for integrity, and schedule professional servicing in line with Williams’ recommendations to maintain optimal performance and warranty coverage.

Operating environment:
Although capable of functioning efficiently up to 43 °C ambient, maintaining good ventilation in the kitchen will maximise efficiency and reduce compressor strain.
