and contractors operate in compliance with the law and are committed to best practice in environmental
management.
Product Support and Installation contractors are required to:
1. Ensure that wherever possible waste is removed from the client‟s site, where arrangements are in place all
waste should be returned to Foster Refrigerator‟s premises. In certain circumstances waste may be disposed
of on the client‟s site; if permission is given, if the client has arrangements in place for the type of waste.
2. If arranging for the disposal of your waste, handle, store and dispose of it in such a way as to prevent its
escape into the environment, harm to human health, and to ensure the compliance with the environmental law.
Guidance is available from the Environment Agency on how to comply with the waste management „duty of
care‟.
3. The following waste must be stored of separately from other wastes, as they are hazardous to the environment:
refrigerants, polyurethane foam, and oils.
4. When arranging for disposal of waste, ensure a waste transfer note or consignment note is completed as
appropriate. Ensure that all waste is correctly described on the waste note and include the appropriate six-digit
code from the European Waste Catalogue. Your waste contractor or Foster can provide further information if
necessary.
5. Ensure that all waste is removed by a registered waste carrier, a carrier in possession of a waste management
licence, or a carrier holding an appropriate exemption. Ensure the person receiving the waste at its ultimate
destination is in receipt of a waste management licence or valid exemption.
6. Handle and store refrigerants in such a way as to prevent their emission to atmosphere, and ensure they are
disposed of safely and in accordance with environmental law.
7. Make arrangements to ensure all staff who handle refrigerants do so at a level of competence consistent with
the City Guilds 2078 Handling Refrigerants qualification or equivalent qualification.
8. Ensure all liquid substances are securely stored to prevent leaks and spill, and are not disposed of to storm
drains, foul drain, or surface water to soil.

Disposal Requirements
If not disposed of properly all refrigerators have components that can be harmful to the environment. All old
refrigerators must be disposed of by appropriately registered and licensed waste contractors, and in accordance
with national laws and regulations.

Xtra Cabinet Description – Post Aug ‘09
The cabinets are manufactured as a one piece foamed shell with easy clean stainless steel exterior. Each conform
to ISO Climate Class 5 and have their condensing unit located on the top of the cabinet.
The temperature is controlled by a LAE microprocessor control with digital temperature display.
The high temperature units use R134a refrigerant, whereas the low/freezer units use R404a. All the refrigeration
systems are integral with an air-cooled condensing unit. The refrigerant is distributed into the evaporator which is
controlled by capillary.
Water is removed from the unit via vaporisation. The evaporator discharge line passes through the vaporiser tray
which is located at the rear.
All units‟ doors are fitted with pivot hinges, recessed door handles, magnetic door gaskets and 80mm castors. They
have swivel castors on the rear and swivel/lockable at the front.
