Ventilation: Grille area at front must be free and clear of any object or wall.
Power Outlet: The installation of this appliance requires a dedicated power outlet located within the length of the unit’s power cord and be accessible for the purpose to disconnect power.

UNPACKING AND SET UP

Carefully inspect the shipping carton for damage. This is the only time that shipping damage may be claimed. If damage is suspected, open the carton 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.

1. Cut the stretch wrap along a corner post and remove the cardboard top capping and the corner posts.

2. Discard stretch wrap and any cardboard that will not be recycled.
   Note: additional clear plastic protective wrap is applied directly to any product with a glass door.

3. 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.

1. 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.
2. None of the threads on the leg or caster stem should be visible once screwed in.
3. Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately 8” and block it securely with pieces of 2×4 lumber or other suitable material.
4. Thread the stem casters or legs into the ½ -13 holes in the bottom of the cabinet. Tighten by hand as much as possible.
5. 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.
6. Repeat this procedure with unit secured in the opposite direction so as to access the remaining legs/ casters
7. 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.

SHELF INSTALLATION

1. Determine the proper location for the shelf clips.
2. Insert the top tab of the shelf clip into the desired hole of the pilaster. The retaining tab MUST be facing up as shown.
3. Rotate the clip downwards and insert the bottom tab into the matching hole in the pilaster. The clip may need to be squeezed slightly during installation.
4. Install all remaining clips.
5. Install shelves onto clips with the product retention bar facing up. Be careful not to dislodge clips during installation.
6. Place shelves so that the retaining tab on the clip captures the shelf as shown.
7. Confirm that the shelf is resting on ALL 4 clips and that the clips are securely attached to the pilasters.
8. Improper shelf clip installation could cause the shelf and / or the product on it to fall, resulting in damage to the unit and possible bodily injury.
9. Do NOT overload the shelves. The unit is designed to use all shelves that are supplied in an equally spaced manner. Contact Beverage Air customer service if fewer shelves or a different configuration to ensure shelf overloading will not occur.

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 2 cords and 5-15P plugs.
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 temperatures have been set at the factory and should not need adjustment, however if changed, the standard refrigerator setting is 38º F., while the standard
freezer setting is 0º 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 – DANFOSS CONTROLLER

Operation is simple, just keep it connected to the correct power supply and the refrigerator will maintain the internal temperature it has been set to. Keep the doors closed as much as possible to avoid unnecessary run time.
There are two controllers, both in the lower front grille of the cabinet. The left one is for the freezer section and the right one is for the refrigerator. Each controller displays
the current internal temperature for its section.
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 refrigerator temperature was set at the factory at 38ºF, and the freezer temperature was set at 0 ºF., but you can adjust it to your own selected temperature.
Each section will automatically defrost as needed, there is no set time for defrost. Push and immediately release the “melting” or defrost button for a manual defrost.
Note: Holding the defrost button in too long will shut the controller off.
The internal fan will be on whenever the appliance is connected to power.
The compressor and condenser fan motor will only be on when the controller senses an increase in internal cabinet temperature passed the set point.

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.

---|---|---

Daily Exterior Cleaning
It is much easier to clean on a regular basis than to have to remove stains once they have built up.

1. Wash with a clean sponge and a mild detergent that does not contain chlorine.
2. Rinse with clean water.
3. Dry with a soft cloth.
4. Polish with a soft cloth, wiping with the grain.
5. Wipe weekly with stainless steel cleaner.

Weekly Interior Cleaning

1. Remove all food, food related items, and shelves.
2. Disconnect power to the cabinet at the main power supply circuit breaker
3. Remove loose food particles from interior floors, walls, and ceiling
4. Scrub all interior surfaces and drawer gaskets with a warm (100º-120 ºF) detergent solution and a soft nylon bristle brush
5. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry
6. Re-install the shelves.
7. Restore power to the cabinet by resetting main power supply circuit breaker
8. Return food to the cabinet when temperature indicator displays safe food temperature

Gaskets

1. Visually inspect the door gaskets for a tight seal on all four sides. Inspect for any type of damage such as rips, tears, stiffness, or cracks.
2. If any such condition exists, the magnet will not seal and the gasket will need replaced.
3. Cleaning the gasket requires the use of mild dish detergent and warm water.
4. Next, thoroughly rinse and dry the gasket.

CONDENSER CLEANING

Keeping the condenser coil clean is critical to efficient operation.
The condenser coil is located behind the front or rear 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.

1. Unplug unit from power supply.
   CAUTION
   Rotating fan blade can cause personal injury.
   Unplug unit from power supply before beginning to clean condenser

2. Remove the Phillips head screws at the top of the panel.

3. Once the screws have been removed the you can lower the panel.
   Please note the electrical cord will still be connected to the panel.

4. Examine condenser surface, if dusty, brush and vacuum the dust and lint from the surface of the coil. Brush up and down to avoid damaging the fins.
   Use care to not disturb the wires connected to the controller.
   Note: If the coil is greasy, the coil will need to be cleaned with coil cleaner and that should be left to an experienced technician.

5. After the condenser is clean, return the grille panel to the unit.

6. To reinstall line up the bottom of the panel to the bottom of the unit keeping the screw holes lined up on the panel and on the unit

7. Reinstall the screw on the top of the front grille panel.
   Note: Air filters are not recommended as they restrict the flow of cooling air.

**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 from flame or spark. It must be near an opened 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.
