RECEIVING & INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT
Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should be taken during
unloading so the equipment is not damaged while being moved into the building.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or container. Any
damage should be noted and reported to the delivering carrier immediately.
2. If damaged, open and inspect the contents with the carrier.
3. In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet upon opening, there is
concealed damage to the equipment, notify the carrier. Notification should
be made verbally as well as in written form.
4. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the damaged equipment.
This should be done within 10 days from receipt of the equipment.
5. Be certain to check the compressor compartment housing and visually
inspect the refrigeration package. Be sure lines are secure and base is still
intact.
6. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms upon request.
7. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made or waived.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
UNIT REPAIRS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO STANDARD UNIT WARRANTIES IF
DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
DANGER:
THE UNIT MUST BE TURNED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER
SOURCE WHENEVER PERFORMING SERVICE, MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS OR
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATED AREA.
LOCATION: Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be
sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight of
the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded unit can weigh as much as 1500 pounds.
Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the most
efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out
INSIDE CABINET: Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The
refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of the unit. It is important to allow
for proper air flow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to
this air flow can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature or
overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The shelves have a rear turn up
on them to prevent this. However, bags and other items can still be located to the
far rear of the cabinet. Air is brought into the evaporator coil with fans mounted
to the front of the coil.
OUTSIDE CABINET: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. Avoid hot
corners and locations near stoves and ovens. It is recommended that the unit be
installed no closer than 2" from any wall with at least 12" of clear space above
the unit.
LEVELING: A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the
doors will line up with the frames properly. Use a level to make sure the unit
is level from front to back and side to side. Units supplied with legs will have
adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary adjustments. If the unit is supplied
with casters, no adjustments are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to
be located is level.
STABILIING: All models are supplied with casters for your convenience. It is very
important, however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable condition with the
front wheels locked while in use. Should it become necessary to lay the unit on
its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24 hours before start-up to allow
compressor oil to flow back into place. Failure to meet this requirement can
cause compressor failure and unit damage.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Refer to the amperage data on page 1, the serial tag,
your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is connected
to the proper power source.
OPERATION
CAUTION: DO NOT THROW ITEMS INTO THE STORAGE AREA. FAILURE TO HEED THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR OF THE
CABINET.
REFRIGERATED CYCLE
Refrigerators: During the refrigeration cycle, the evaporator fans wilt run
continuously even when one or more doors are open. The door switch will activate
the lights when opened.
1. Every 6 hours, the unit will turn off and to allow the evaporator coil to defrost. The
controller now displays defrost symbol. When the coil temperature reaches 41°F
or after 20 minutes of defrost, the unit will turn on again.
2. Anti-condensation heaters on door frames work in conjunction with the
compressor.
3. The factory setting for the temperature range is 34°F to 38° F.
Freezers: During the refrigeration cycle, the controller supplies power to the
condensing unit and evaporator fan motors. The evaporator fans will run at any time
when the evaporator coil temperature is below 54°F. They will also keep running
when door is open but cycle off during a defrost period. The door switch will activate
the lights when opened.
1. Every 6 hours, the unit will turn off and electric heater will turn on to defrost. The
controller now displays the defrost symbol. When the coil temperature reaches
45°F or after 20 minutes of defrost, the unit will turn on again.
2. Anti-condensation heaters on door frames work in conjunction with the
compressor.
3. The factory setting for temperature range is -7 to -3°F
