immediately and, if there is damage, retain the carton and contact the shipper
to make a claim.
Do NOT contact the manufacturer.
Uncrating
Tools Needed: ¾” box wrench, adjustable wrench, level, flat head screw driver,
and box cutter.
-
Remove the cardboard top capping, all clear tape, and all staples including those at the bottom of the cardboard carton and skid.
-
Start from the top of the carton. Using the box cutter, carefully make one continuous cut to the bottom of the skid. Remove cardboard carton and discard.
Note: additional clear plastic protective wrap is applied directly to any product with a glass door. -
Move unit as close to final position as possible before removing the skid.
Note: The skid must be removed before the casters or legs can be attached.
Do NOT tip unit on its front or sides. If tipped onto the back, unit must not be started for 3 hours.
Skid Removal and Caster Attachment
Tip the unit forward and remove the skid.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury.
Unit must be securely supported while attaching casters or legs.
- Remove the shipping bolts using the ¾” box wrench while cabinet is held in one direction. Repeat the process while the cabinet is held in the opposite direction.
- None of the threads on the leg or caster stem should be visible once screwed in.
- Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately 8” and block it securely with pieces of 2×4 lumber or other suitable material.
- Thread the stem casters or legs into the ½ -13 holes in the bottom of the cabinet. Tighten by hand as much as possible.
- Once the caster or leg cannot be turned any further, use a 3/4 inch wrench to tighten the nut in between the mounting plate and the wheel of the caster until snug.
- Repeat this procedure with unit secured in the opposite direction so as to access the remaining legs/ casters
- If plate casters or legs are installed instead of stem casters or legs, then repeat step 3 above and secure the plate with either #14 AB screws, or ¼-20 screws, depending upon which are required.
Leveling:
Cabinets must be leveled when installed. Level should be measured on the
headrail.
Failure to level your cabinet may result in door not sealing, closing
correctly, or condensed water draining not draining properly.
For cabinets with legs, rotate the foot of the leg with an adjustable wrench
to achieve desired height for leveling.
For cabinets with casters, leveling can be achieved by placing large washers
in between the ½’ stud and the holes located on the bottom of the case.
CAUTION
Do NOT loosen casters to level the cabinet. Casters MUST be tightly secured to
cabinet for full strength.
Install or attach any accessories that will be used Remove any plastic
covering the stainless steel.
ELECTRICAL
This is a cord-connected unit, and must be connected to its own dedicated
power supply. Check the dataplate on the machine to confirm the voltage and
per the dataplate use the correct fuses or HACR circuit breakers.
Note: Do not connect to GFI / GFCI outlets. Connection to that type of
outlet can result in product loss due to unsafe cabinet temperature when GFI
device trips from moisture.
Power Cord
This 115 volt model is equipped with a cord and a 5-15P plug.
If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced with the identical
cord.
Follow All National and Local Codes
This unit must be grounded. Do not use extension cords and do not disable or
by-pass ground prong on electrical plug.
Initial Start Up
Plug the power cord into the proper power supply.
The cabinet will soon begin to blow warm air out of the top area, and cool air
will flow from the inside blower.
The cabinet temperature has been set at the factory and should not need
adjustment, however if it was changed, the standard setting is 0º F.
Cautions
Care must be taken whenever moving or servicing the unit. The refrigerant is
contained in a sealed system, but if released it may be flammable.
USING THE UNIT
Operation is simple, just keep it connected to the correct power supply and
the freezer will maintain the internal temperature it has been set to. Keep
the drawers closed as much as possible to avoid unnecessary run time.
The controller displays the current internal temperature.
Adjusting the set temperature lower will NOT cause the system to lower the
temperature faster. When on, the refrigeration system is always operating at
maximum.
For best results, make certain the unit remains powered and has achieved the
desired set point before loading it with product. Pull down time will vary
depending upon the type of unit and ambient conditions The temperature was set
at the factory at 0ºF, but you can adjust it to your own selected temperature.
30 seconds after adjustment, the display automatically The internal fan will
be on whenever the appliance is connected to power.
In most cases the only thing displayed will be the cabinet temperature. When something other than normal operation has occurred, a message will be shown.
Message Displayed | Why | What to do |
---|---|---|
Unit is defrosting | Nothing. Normal operation. | |
Cabinet temperature too warm | Confirm doors or drawers are closed. | |

It is much easier to clean on a regular basis than to have to remove stains
once they have built up.
- Wash with a clean sponge and a mild detergent that does not contain chlorine.
- Rinse with clean water.
- Dry with a soft cloth.
- Polish with a soft cloth, wiping with the grain.
- Wipe weekly with stainless steel cleaner.
Weekly Interior Cleaning
- Remove all food, food related items and shelves. Store the food at a safe temperature.
- Disconnect power to the unit (unplug it or switch the breaker off).
- Remove all loose food particles from the inside walls, floor, door liner and ceiling.
- Scrub all interior surfaces and door gaskets with a warm (100 ºF to 110 ºF) detergent solution and a soft scrub brush.
- Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
- Return the shelves to the unit and secure them.
- Restore power.
- Return food to the unit when it has reached a safe temperature.
DRAWER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Drawer models are shipped with the drawers already installed in the cabinets.
Drawers are designed with slides which have locking mechanisms to prevent
drawers from coming off cabinets during normal opening and closing operations.
See illustration below:
Drawers and slides can be removed from a cabinet for cleaning purposes. To
remove a drawer from a cabinet follow these instructions:
- Open the drawer to full extension

CONDENSER CLEANING
Keeping the condenser coil clean is critical to efficient operation.
The condenser coil is located right behind the front grille of the cabinet. It
should be inspected once a month and cleaned as required. Vacuum clean all
surfaces of the condenser. Make sure no fins are bent or damaged in the
process. If there are bent fins, carefully straighten them so that air can
flow through the coils. Failure to keep the condenser coil clean will lead to
poor performance, excessive power consumption and compressor failure and may
result in loss of property. Failure to keep the condenser coil clean may void
the limited warranty.
CAUTION
Rotating fan blade can cause personal injury.
Unplug unit from power supply before beginning to clean condenser
-
Unplug unit from power supply.

FOR THE SERVICE TECH – R290
Refrigeration service should only be attempted by a trained trade professional
certified to work on R290 systems.
Here are some critical service items.
This list does not qualify anyone to service the unit. It is a reminder and
checklist for the service tech. Keep these in mind for R290 service:
- Wire nuts are NOT to be used when changing an electrical part.
- The switches in this product are sealed, only exact replacements may be used.
- The process tubes are to be used for service access.
- Cut out (with tubing cutter) refrigeration components that are to be replaced. Do NOT un-braze.
- Because R290 can be vented into the air during service, the venting MUST be in an area free fromflame or spark. It must also be in a well ventilated area, with a nearby open window or door.
- A sign noting service of a system containing propane must be attached to the unit during refrigeration service.
- A combustible gas leak detector must be used to inform anyone in the area when propane is present in the air.
Other Information:
Evacuation: It is critical that a refrigeration system be leak free and
internally dry. A thorough evacuation with a good vacuum pump with a micron
gauge attached is the only way to ensure that the system is dry and ready for
a charge of refrigerant.
Charging: The system is critically charged and the proper type and amount
MUST be weighed in.
Overcharge symptoms: Unit will cool properly but the suction line
temperature will be unusually cold.
Compressor run time will be longer than normal.
Undercharge symptoms: Long run time, poor cooling and a hot compressor
dome are the main symptoms of an undercharge.
