Hydrocarbon Guidelines

This section applies to R290 Hydrocarbon units only. To identify the refrigerant type, see the data plate in the cabinet interior.

WARNING – THIS UNIT USES R290, A HYDROCARBON, PROPANE REFRIGERANT THAT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUT IS ALSO HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN TO AVOID THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

DANGER – Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
DANGER – Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. To be repaired only by trained service personnel. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
CAUTION – Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Consult Service Manual or Owner’s Manual before attempting to install or service this product. All safety precautions must  be followed.
CAUTION – Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Dispose of properly in accordance with federal or local regulations.
CAUTION – Risk of fire or explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing; follow handling instructions carefully. Flammable refrigerant used.

PROPANE (R290) IS HIGHLY APPROVED FOR USE AS A REFRIGERANT IN COMMERCIAL, SELF-CONTAINED UNITS IN THE US UNDER LIMITED USE CONDITIONS. IT CAN ONLY BE USED IN NEW EQUIPMENT. BACK FITTING OR MODIFICATIONS OF OLD EQUIPMENT ARE NOT ALLOWED. IT MUST BE CHARGED IN A STRICTLY LIMITED VOLUME OF UP TO 150 GRAMS (5.3 OZ) PER REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SMALL AMOUNT, IT STILL PRESENTS A FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD IF IT LEAKS OUT OF PARTS THAT HOLD REFRIGERANT. WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH AIR, A FLAMMABLE PROPANE-AIR MIXTURE CAN BE CREATED AND EASILY IGNITED BY ELECTRICAL SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES OR
HOT SURFACES. THE RISK IS HIGHER IN SMALL, CONFINED, POORLY VENTILATED SPACES. PROPANE WILL SETTLE AT LOWER ZONES BECAUSE IT IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. TO REDUCE THESE RISKS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS

• Avoid installation of unit in areas with open flames or in general vicinity of open flames or high surface temperatures.
• Avoid unit installation in small, confined spaces. Ensure ample ventilation at all times. Keep all exhaust vents free of any blockage or obstruction.
• Do not rely on smell to detect potential leaks of propane refrigerant. Propane refrigerant is a high purity propane gas and does not contain odorants or stenching agents. These additives are typically used in fuel-grade propane and natural gas in order to give them a distinctive smell which makes it easier to detect leaks.
• General service and repairs must be performed in well-ventilated areas.
• General service and repairs must be performed only by professionals authorized by Everest Refrigeration.
• Component shall be replaced with Everest-issued, like components to minimize the risk of possible ignition resulting from incompatible parts or improper repairs.
• Do not modify, re-appropriate, or remove any functional part(s) from the unit.
• Handle the unit with care to avoid any damage.
• Practice safety guidelines when transporting the unit. Consult with your local Department of Transportation for requirements in moving flammable gasses.

Installation Instructions

This section applies to all Everest products. Correct installation ensures proper performance and longevity of your appliance. Professional installation by a trained refrigeration technician and electrician is recommended. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.

1. Inspect for any freight damage upon delivery of the unit. If damage is detected, immediately report it to an Everest representative. Everest is not responsible for damage that occurs during shipment.

2. Keep the unit upright at all times. The compressor contains oil, refrigerant, lubricants, and various chemicals. When tilted, these fluids may shift and travel to sections where they don’t naturally occur. This will lead to system contamination and compressor failure.

3. Select a location with good air ventilation. Poor ventilation rapidly increases ambient temperature. High ambient temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive
   compressor activity in order to maintain the desired cabinet temperature. This will result in decreased performance, advanced component failure, and the risk of fire.

4. Select a location away from heat-generating equipment such as stoves, ovens, etc. Heat sources rapidly increase the temperature of the immediate vicinity. High temperatures
   exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive  compressor activity in order to maintain the desired cabinet temperature. This will result in decreased performance, advanced component failure, and the risk of fire.

5. A distance of 6” is required for left side or right side clearance wherever a unit’s condenser coil is located. This ensures proper ventilation and prevents overheating which can lead to advanced component failure or the risk of fire.

6. Select a location with a hard, leveled surface. Use a leveling tool on the unit to ensure proper alignment. Proper door function and condensate removal is dependent on accurate balance.

7. Select a location close to an electrical wall outlet to ensure direct connection without the use of extension cords.

8. Select a location away from severe moisture  conditions. This may compromise the unit’s  electrical components and lead to electrical shocks or the risk of fire.

9. Select a location that will not expose the unit to extremely dusty conditions. Environments with high dust and debris content will significantly hasten condenser coil and condenser coil air filter blockage and will result in decreased performance, advanced component failure, and the risk of fire.

10. Do not build an enclosure or cabinet around the unit. This will restrict air ventilation resulting in elevated compressor activity, decreased performance, advanced component failure, and the risk of fire.

11. The unit is not intended for use in food trucks. Limited space, lack of ventilation, and ambient temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) typical to this setting will result in elevated compressor activity, decreased performance, advanced  component failure, and the risk of fire.

12. The unit is intended for indoor use only. Outdoor use will cause a decrease in performance, advanced component failure, and the risk of fire.

13. The unit comes with an interior drain hole plug. Keep this plugged in during normal operation and unplug when cleaning the interior to allow water to drain.

14. Install drain hoses to the back of the unit when cleaning the interior.

Shelf Installation

1. Some models come standard with shelves, shelf clips and notched pilasters. Each shelf requires four clips. Attach the shelf clips onto the pilasters by inserting its top hook into a pilaster notch followed by the bottom hook. Do not use pliers or other crimping  tools to modify the shape of the shelf clips. This will result in shelf mounting instability.
   

2. Place shelves on the shelf clips making sure all corners are mounted securely and evenly with identical distance from the unit’s floor and up. Always lay the back of each shelf down on the rear clips before the front.
   

3. When removing a shelf, unmount the shelf from the shelf clips. To detach the shelf clip from the pilaster, tilt up the shelf clip until the bottom hook clears, followed by the top hook.

Keg Installation

*NOTE: The CO2 distributor can be used to share the single CO2 tank between multiple kegs.

1. Choosing the CO2 tank location
   A ) Cabinet Exterior: For CO2 tanks placed outside of the unit, it is necessary to drill a hole for the CO2 port anywhere in the safe areas indicated in Safe Drilling Areas. Drilling outside of these areas will cause irreparable damage to the refrigeration components and/or wiring.
   B ) Cabinet Interior: For CO2 tanks placed inside the unit, it is not necessary to drill a hole for the CO2 port. This set up is possible depending on the model of the Direct Draw Keg Refrigerator and the size of the CO2 tanks and beer kegs.

2. Connecting the CO2 Line to the CO2 Regulator
   A ) Before proceeding, ensure that the shut off valve of the CO2 regulator is closed. The lever must be perpendicular to the CO2 line if it is in the closed position.
   B ) Take one end of the CO2 line and push it up the CO2 regulator’s barb connector as tightly as possible. Secure the hose to the fitting with the use of a clamp. The clamp must be positioned well above the hose and fitting junction so as not to interfere with the valve operation.
   C ) If the CO2 tank is located outside the cabinet, feed the hose through the CO2 port that was drilled into the wall of the unit.

3. Connecting the CO2 Regulator to the CO2 Tank
   A ) Before proceeding, ensure that the CO2 tank is filled and in the closed position.
   B) Connect the CO2 regulator nut to the CO2 tank.

4. Connecting the Keg Coupler
   A) Before proceeding, it is critical that the keg pull handle is closed in the up position.
   B) Install the keg coupler on the keg’s neck junction. Turn clockwise to lock it in place.

5. Connecting the CO2 Line to the Keg Coupler
   A) Take the open end of the CO2 line and push it up the keg coupler’s barb connector as tightly as possible. Secure the hose to the fitting with the use of a clamp. The clamp must be positioned well above the hose and fitting junction so as not to interfere with the valve operation.

6. Connecting the Beer Line to the Keg Coupler
   A) Before proceeding, remove any protective film or wrap from the keg coupler.
   B) Attach the rubber washer to the beer line hex fitting.
   C) Connect the beer line from the tower to the screw fitting on top of the keg coupler.

7. Tapping the Keg
   A) Pull on the top handle of the keg coupler and push down until it locks in place.

8. Calibrating the CO2 Regulator
   A) Keep the shut-off valve of the CO2 regulator closed while you open the valve on the CO2 tank.
   B) Loosen the CO2 regulator adjustment nut with a pair of pliers. Twist the adjustment screw counterclockwise all the way.
   C) Slowly turn the CO2 regulator adjustment screw until the desired pressure is shown on the output pressure gauge. 12 PSI is the recommended pressure for most situations. Some conditions such as  site altitude or beer variety will dictate specific pressure settings. Regulators designed for draft beer  are turned clockwise to increase output pressure and counterclockwise to decrease output pressure.
   D) Open the shut-off valve on the CO2 regulator while keeping the main switch parallel to the  tubing. The keg will audibly pressurize as gas flows through the regulator to the keg coupler. The output needle will momentarily drop as the pressure equalizes before returning to the  original position it was set to.
   E) Pull on the ring of the keg coupler’s pressure relief valve to allow gas to vent. This will help  achieve a more accurate reading on the output pressure gauge.
   F) Recheck the output pressure on the regulator. If necessary, readjust following step 8C until the desired pressure is achieved. Finish any adjustment to the regulator with a brief pull on the pressure relieve valve to ensure an accurate reading on the output pressure gauge.

9. Placing the Keg
   A) Position the keg in the cabinet interior. Ensure that no hoses are pinched or crushed.

Electrical Safety

This section applies to all Everest products. Basic safety precautions must be observed when using electrical appliances in addition to the following. Warranty is void if these guidelines are not met.

Everest units come as 115 volts, 60 hertz, single phase.
Everest units in this family are equipped with a  NEMA 5-15P. A 15 amp breaker must be used  for units that come with a NEMA 5-15P plug.

The ground prong must not be removed to reduce the risk of electric shock and related hazards.  If the grounding pin is missing, the cord must be removed from use. If the  outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it must be replaced with the properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Only  a qualified electrician may install the correct power source.
To guarantee electrical safety, the wall outlet and circuit must be checked by a qualified electrician to make sure it is properly grounded.
Remove debris from the power plug prongs  with a soft cloth or brush before connecting  it to an outlet.
Assign the unit to a dedicated, undamaged electrical circuit with a voltage rating that  matches the data plate. Check the incoming voltage with a multi- meter. This avoids the overloading and overheating of circuit wires  which may lead to a fire.
Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or other third party electrical connections. Everest is not responsible for issues resulting from improper electrical connections, electrical power failures and voltage fluctuations.
Everest does not recommend the use of generators in conjunction with the unit due to voltage fluctuations that may compromise electrical components.
Turn off the unit using the power button before unplugging. Wait at least 5 minutes before  re-plugging to prevent damage to the compressor.  Do not unplug the unit by tugging on the power cord. Grip the plug and pull it securely out of the outlet.
Prevent damage to the power cord by providing sufficient clearance around and under the unit. Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or exposed wires. Power cords that have been severely worn or damaged must be replaced  with original manufacturer parts and only by  an authorized technician.

Operation

Use your Everest product according to its intended functions. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.

Starting your Everest Product
After plugging in the unit, the current temperature and compressor symbol will appear on the digital temperature control’s LED display. will flash at short intervals for 1 minute after which the  compressor(s) and condenser fan motor(s) will initiate. At the beginning of every compressor cycle, the condenser fan motor is automated to rotate in reverse for 30 seconds in order to blow dust off the  condenser coil.
The evaporator fan motor(s) will initiate once the evaporator coil reaches a specific temperature relative to the digital temperature control setting and for as long as the door is closed. A fan symbol will appear on the LED display to indicate that the evaporator fan is running.
Allow the unit to operate for 24 to 72 hours before storing contents in the cabinet. This lets the cabinet temperature fully stabilize. Use this time to verify proper installation and operation.
The interior light and evaporator fan motor is controlled by a door switch for solid door models and a rocker switch for glass door models.
The default temperature setting is 35.0°F (2.0°C) for refrigerators and -4.0°F (-20.0°C) for freezers.
The factory recommended temperature range is between 33.0°F (1.0°C) to 40.0°F (4.0°C) for refrigerators and -5.0°F (-21.0°C) to 0°F (-18.0°C) for freezers. Setting the temperature outside of the recommended range will cause performance issues and in some cases may result in component failure that is outside of warranty coverage.

The compressor, condenser and evaporator fan motors run while the unit is on refrigeration cycle.
The compressor, condenser and evaporator fan motors stop running while the unit is on defrost cycle.
The unit is preset to defrost every 5-6 hours with a duration of 45 minutes or less depending on the evaporator coil temperature. Changing the preset outside of the default range will result in cooling issues and advanced component failure.
The digital temperature control is intended to read and display the cabinet’s air temperature, not actual ood product temperature. The displayed temperature may fluctuate due to frequent or prolonged door operation. The most conclusive method to determine a unit’s cooling performance is to measure the food product’s temperature using a digital food thermometer.
