e. Legs & Casters
Ea ch cabinet is provided with four legs or ca stars ship inside the cabinet. The legs or casters screw directly into an adapter nut provided in each corner of the base.
f. Locating Cooler
Provide at least two inches of space between the cabinet rear and adjacent wall.

OPERATION

a. Electrical Supply and Connections
Plug all standard models into 115 volts AC 60-Hertz outlet. Low line voltage is often the cause of service complaints. Check to see that the line voltage is 110 volts or more with the unit running. Other motors or heavy appliances should not be used on the same circuit as the cooler. When working on the inside of the cooler, disconnect from the electrical circuit for safety reasons. CAUTION: If an extension cord is necessary, use only a three-wire grounding type of wire size 16 AWG or larger. DO NOT exceed 20 ft. in length. The use of ungrounded cords or overload circuits voids the compressor warranty.
b. Initial Start-Up
Turn the power on and check to verify that the condenser fan is running.
c. Temperature control
The factory setting of temperature control for a refrigerator is No. 5 position (normal) which will maintain the product at a pproximately 38 °F. The factory setting for a freezer is No.  5 position (normal) which will m maintain the product at approximately 0 °F. For colder temperatures, turn the knob clockwise one number a t a time.
Excessive tampering with temperature control could lead to service difficulties. For operation above 3000 ft. altitude, have the thermostat adjusted by a qualified service technician.
d. Condensate Disposal
The aluminum pan below the evaporator serves to collect and direct the condensate to the evaporator pan located below the unit. Airflow over the pan hastens condensate evaporation so that external drain plumbing is not required.
e. Freezer Defrost System
Defrost timers are factory set for (6) twenty-minute defrosts per 24-hour period. The start e for defrosting should be set to occur during the lightest usage of the cabinet. Choose to defrost at the time desired and turn to adjust the cam until defrost is activated. Def rost will then occur every four hours. The adjusting cam is located on the face of the evaporator housing.

CLEANING

a. Cleaning Cabinet Exterior
Cabinets should be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. Do not use caustic soap or brass e cleaners, since these might damage the cabinet finish. If the stainless steel surface becomes discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finish grain. Do not use steel wool.
b. Cleaning Interior Surfaces
The inside of the cabinet is Anodized Aluminum. To clean, use mild soapy water and a cloth or sponge.
c. Condenser
For efficient operation, it is recommended that the condenser coil and fans be cleaned every 3 to 6 months. Remove the rear grille for access. Vacuum clean the front surface of the coil thoroughly or direct forced air through condenser fins. Failure to clean the condenser can cause compressor malfunction and will void the warranty.
d. Condensate Pan
Condensate pan should be cleaned periodically to prevent odors and to maintain evaporating efficiency.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

• REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
  The Refrigeration System consists of a hermetically sealed compressor and finned evaporator and condenser.

• CONDENSER
  The condenser has wide finned spaces, which allow more air passage with less dirt or dust accumulation. The condenser still requires periodic cleaning for maximum efficiency.

• CONDENSER FAN MOTOR
  The condenser fan motor assembly is mounted between the condenser and the compressor. Air is drawn through the condenser, over the body of the compressor and out the rear of the unit compartment.
  The motor is wired to cycle with the compressor but will continue to operate should the compressor cut out on the overload. (The motor is permanently lubricated;  therefore, oiling is not required).

• DRIER
  The drier is installed in the system just before the capillary tube. Its purpose is to trap minute particles of foreign material and absorb any moisture in the system.

• LIQUID CONTROL AND HEAT EXCHANGE
  Liquid refrigerant control to the evaporator of the system is accomplished by the use of a capilla ry tube. This capillary tube is soldered to the suction line to form a heat exchanger which subcools the liquid refrigerant to maintain high efficiency within the system.
  REFRIGERATION SERVICE

• EVACUATION
  Moisture in a refrigera tion system is directly or indirectly the cause of more problems and complaints than all other factors combined.
  When large amounts of moisture are present, system freeze-ups will occur. Even in minute amounts, moisture will combine with refrigera nts to form acid. The corrosive action of this acid forms sludge, which will plug the lines and drier.
  Since most field-type vacuum pumps cannot pull a low enough vacuum to remove all moisture from the system, it is recommended that the system be triple evacuated,  breaking each time with dry refrigerant nitrogen. Use care to purge air from the charging hose when breaking the vacuum.

• CHARGING REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
  Since capillary tube systems have small critical refrigerant charges, we recommend that a field charge either be weighed in or put in from a portable charging cylinder. After maximum vacuum has been obtained as detailed above, attach the charging cylinder to the system line m a king sure to purge an ir from a hose with refrigerant. With the unit running, allow refrigerant to run slowly into the system until the desired charge is reached. When using Refrigerant Blends it is recommended to liquid charge into the high side of the system with the initial charge and then any remaining charge can be put into the suction side; however, care must be taken to meter the remaining mount into the low side so as not to cause excess liquid to go into the compressor.

OVERCHARGE
When the cabinet has pulled down to operating temperature, an indication of an overcharge is that the suction line will be cooler than normal with the compressor running.  Running time will be higher than normal. The suction line will sweat or frost.
Reclaim excessive refrigerant from the system very carefully in sm ll mounts waiting several minutes for the system to balance.

UNDERCHARGE
An undercharge or shortage of refrigerant will result in any of the following:

1. Lower than normal head pressure.
2. Lower than normal suction pressure.
3. Excessive or continuous operation of the compressor.
4. Higher than normal cabinet temperature.
