9. Do NOT overload the shelves. The unit is designed to use all shelves that are supplied in an equally spaced manner. Contact Victory 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 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

Door Reversal Instructions

1. Remove hinge cover
2. Remove door from the unit to include the hinge mounting brackets
3. Remove white hole covers from the side of the door opening you would like the hinges to be located (do not throw away)
4. On the bottom of the door the same hole plugs are present and need to be removed
5. Take the hole plugs and insert them into the screw holes where the hinges were originally located on the unit
6. Install the hinge bracket upright on the unit. The thick portion of the hinge bracket should be on the bottom as you mount them
7. The door portion of the hinges need to be removed and rotated 180 degree and remounted
8. Install the hole plugs that were removed from the bottom of the door into the holes where the handle was first mounted
9. Install the handle on what is now the top of the door
10. Slide door back into position and gently lower into the white pivot cam

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.

The temperature was set at the factory at 0º F, but you can adjust it to your own selected temperature. 30 seconds after adjustment, the display automatically reverts to showing the current temperature.

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. Freshly cooked product, or otherwise warm product placed into the appliance will also increase the pull down time significantly since this model is designed for storage and not for rapid pull down.

The freezer 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 when the compressor is on.

The compressor and condenser fan motor will only be on when the controller senses an increase in internal cabinet temperature passed the set point.

If equipped with glass doors, holding the SC button in will turn the cabin

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.

CONDENSER CLEANING

Keeping the condenser coil clean is critical to efficient operation.

The condenser coil is located right behind the back 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

1. Unplug unit from power supply.

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 the rear panel 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.

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 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.
