You normally need two things: the unit model from the rating plate and the controller model from the controller fascia.
Find the rating plate: typically inside the cabinet (side wall) or near the compressor compartment. Record the full model code (for example, CR1800G, R1000SV, F1300SV, etc.) and any serial number.
Identify the controller type: look at the controller’s front label and button layout. The brand is often printed on the face (for example, Dixell, Elitech, Carel) and the controller model may appear as a short code (for example, XR, ECS, PJEZ families).
Once you have both, match them in the Unifrost Manuals & Downloads hub to download the correct upright-family manual and the correct controller PDF.
