INSTALLATION

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.
NOTE: The cabinet is fixed on the wooden pallet with screws, remove the screws before moving the cabinet from the pallet.
Door handle is packed and fixed on the shelf inside the cabinet, after locating the cabinet, take out the door handle, and install it with cross screwdriver according to following instruction:

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. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located is level.
Stabilizing
All models are supplied with casters for your convenience, ease of cleaning underneath and for mobility. 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.
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit warranties if due to improper installation procedures.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is connected to the proper power source.
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.

OPERATION

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 will run continuously, will stop when the door is open to avoid the hot air be sucked into the box.

1. Every 4 hours, the unit will turn off and to allow the evaporator fin to defrost. The controller now displays the defrost symbol. When the fin temperature reaches 46°F  or after 30 minutes of defrost, the unit will turn on again.
2. The factory setting of the temperature range for compressor start and stop is 34° to 41° F.

Freezers: The evaporator fans will run at any time, but will cycle off during a defrost period and when door is open.

1. Every 4 hours, the unit will turn off and electric heater will turn on to start the defrost cycle. The controller now displays the defrost symbol. When the fin temperature  reaches 46°F or after 30 minutes of defrost, the unit will turn on again.
2.  The factory setting of the temperature range for compressor start and stop is -4° to 3°F.

MAINTENANCE

The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.

Refrigerators and Freezers
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm water. If this isn’t sufficient, try ammonia and water or a nonabrasive liquid cleaner.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the plastic and can damage the breaker strips and gaskets.

Cleaning the Condenser Coil
The condenser coil requires regular cleaning, and is recommended every 90 days. In some instances, you may find that there is a large amount of debris, dust or grease  accumulated prior to the 90 day time frame. In these cases the condenser coil should be cleaned every 30 days.
If the build up on the coil consists of only light dust and debris, the condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple brush. Heavier dust build-up may require a vacuum or even  compressed air to blow through the condenser coil.
If heavy grease is present, there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically for the condenser coils. The condenser coil may require cleaning with the  de-greasing agent and then blown through with compressed air.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times.
Continuous operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures. Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures will void any warranties  associated with the compressor or cost to replace the compressor.
Never use a high pressure water wash for this cleaning procedure as water can damage the electrical components located near or at the condenser coil.

In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the condenser fans must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least  every three months. If conditions are such that the condenser is totally blocked in three months, the frequency of cleaning should be increased.
Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a commercial-grade condenser cleaner may be required.
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-chloride based. If cleaners containing chlorides are used, be sure to rinse and dry thoroughly. Routine cleaning can be  done with soap and water. Extreme stains or grease should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and plastic scrub pad. It is always good to rub with the grain of the steel.

Gasket Maintenance

Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to keep the elasticity of the gasket. Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy  water. Avoid full strength cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent proper seals. Do not use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and don’t require the use of tools or authorized service technicians.
The gaskets are “Dart” style and can be pulled out of the groove in the door and be replaced by pressing the new one back into place.

Doors/Hinges
Over time and with heavy use, door hinges may become loose. If the door is beginning to sag, tighten the screws that mount the hinge brackets to the frame of the unit. If the doors are loose or sagging, this can cause the hinge to pull out of the frame which may damage both the doors and the door hinges.

Drain Maintenance
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from the evaporator coil and evaporates it into an external condensate evaporator pan. Each  drain can become loose or disconnected from moving or bumping the drain. If you notice excessive water accumulation on the inside of the unit, be sure the drain tube is  connected from the evaporator housing to the condensate evaporator drain pan. If water starts to collect underneath the unit, you may want to check the condensate  evaporator drain tube to be sure it is still located inside the drain pan. The leveling of the unit is important as the units are designed to drain properly when on a level surface. If your floor is not level this can also cause drain problems. Be sure all drain lines are free of obstructions because this can cause water to back up and overflow the drain pans.
