Adjusting Temperature

The product is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and ice cream scooping and should require no adjustments. If necessary, the minimum temperature can be changed by following the instructions in the user manual. Always calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. After temperature adjustment, allow at least 24 hours for the product to conform to the adjusted temperature.

Running a Manual Defrost Cycle

Always reinstall the drain plug after defrosting. The case does not contain a drain pan, and water must be drained into a pan outside of the case.

• Remove the user side grill at the base of the unit.
• Remove the drain hose and place it in a pan to catch the water.
• Remove rubber plug inside unit and defrost unit by unplugging the machine or using the controller to power OFF.
• Defrost can take up to 2 hours. Remove product before defrosting.

Cabinet Location Guidelines

• Install the unit on strong and leveled surfaces.
  • If the surface is uneven, the unit may be noisy.
  • The unit may malfunction if the surface is uneven.
• Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area.
  • For best performance, please maintain clearance of 4” on the front and back of the unit.
  • Do not use outdoors. For indoor use only.
  • Avoid direct sunlight.
• Avoid installation in a high humidity and/or dusty area.
  • Humidity above 60% can cause the unit to rust, collect condensation, and may decrease efficiency.
  • Dust collected on the condenser coil will cause the unit to malfunction.
  • Malfunctions due to temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit, humidity above 60%, or improperly maintained condenser coil will void the warranty.
• Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment.
  • Ambient temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit may cause the compressor to malfunction.
  • Malfunctions due to ambient temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit will void the warranty.
  • Do not install the unit inside a closet or alcove.

Product Placement

• Corners of the freezer will be the coldest due to cold wall surrounding tubs with two sides. Tubs that are less than half full in the corners of the case may be hard to scoop.
• For ease of use, keep full tubs in the corners.
• The case will be colder closer to the bottom.

Electrical

• Please ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
• The unit should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate over-current projection. NEVER USE AN ADAPTER PLUG! Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
• This unit should have its own dedicated outlet.
• Do not use extention cords.
• Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
• If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
• To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
• After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.

Functions

ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
Your new freezer is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and ice cream scooping and should require no adjustments. Your new freezer is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should require no adjustments. Freezers are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of -5 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum temperature of -1 degrees Fahrenheit. Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not run constantly at this setting. to change it, follow these instructions:

Digital Control Units

• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press “SET” again to save your settings.

Always remember to calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +4 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum temperatures and possible health code violations. After temperature adjustment always allow at least 24 hours for the product to conform to the adjusted temperature.

Controls

Please Note

• The sound of water flowing during operation is normal; this is the refrigerant.
• When the humidity is high, condensation may form on the surface of the freezer.
• When the freezer is running, the condenser and compressor will be hot.
• For best performance, install where the temperature is below 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% humidity.

Safety / Warning

Please pay close attention to the safety notices in this section. Disregarding these notices may lead to seri-ous injury and/or damage to the unit.

ATTENTION

• To minimize shock and fire hazards, be sure not to overload outlet. Please designate one outlet for your unit.
