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.

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 airflow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit.
• Obstructions to this airflow can cause evaporator coil freeze-ups and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan.
• However, bags and other items can still be located at the far rear of the cabinet.
• Air is brought into the evaporator coil with fans. Prevent any obstruction from blocking the outlet or inlet of airflow.

Outside cabinet

• Be sure that the unit has adequate air circulation around it. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
• It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2″ from any wall

Leveling

• Leveling the cabinet is necessary so that the drawers 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.
• Units supplied with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary adjustments.
• If the unit is supplied with casters, no adjustments are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located is level.

Stabilizing

• All models are supplied with casters for your convenience. 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.
• NOTE Warranty Repairs will be declined if problems are caused by improper installation.

Electrical connection

• Refer to the amperage data on the serial tag, your local code, or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is connected to the proper power source.
• Each unit must be plugged into a dedicated electric circuit.
• Do not use an extension cord. An external electrical surge protector may be required. (not included)
• DANGER 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.

CAUTION

Refrigerated cabinets

• The factory setting for the temperature range is 34° to 38° F. Chef base units should operate with pans in place.
• Operating without pans and/or pan covers in place will lower the efficiency and may damage the unit due to continuous over-use.
• Continuous opening and closing of the drawers will prevent the unit’s ability to maintain optimum refrigeration temperature.

Defrosting

• Every 6 hours, the unit will turn off so the evaporator coil can defrost. The controller now displays the defrost symbol and the compressor stops working.
• When the coil temperature reaches the terminal temperature or after 20 minutes of defrosting, the unit will turn back on.

MAINTENANCE

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

• 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.
• When cleaning the exterior, always rub with the “grain” of the stainless steel to avoid marring the finish. Do not use an abrasive cleaner.

Cleaning the Condenser Coil

• The condenser coil requires regular cleaning. Cleaning is recommended every 90 days. In some instances, you may find that there is a large amount of debris and dust or grease accumulated before 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.
• Always blow air from top to bottom and never from left to right to avoid bending the tiles of the coil and causing air blockage.
• 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 blowing 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.
• DANGER 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.
• To maintain proper refrigeration performance, the condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least every three months.
• If the condenser is 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.

Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning

• To prevent discoloration of rust on stainless steel, several important steps need to be taken. First, we need to understand the properties of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron which will rust.
• It also contains 12-30% chromium which forms an invisible passive film over the surface of the steel which acts as a shield against corrosion. As long as the protective layer is intact, the metal is still stainless.
• If the film is broken or contaminated, outside elements can begin to break down the steel and begin to form rust or discoloration. Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic scouring pads,
• DANGER NEVER USES STEEL PADS, WIRE BRUSHES, OR SCRAPERS!
• Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline-based or non-chloride-based. Any cleaner containing chlorides will damage the protective film of the stainless steel.
• Chlorides are commonly found in hard water, salts, and household and industrial cleaners. If cleaners containing chlorides are used, be sure to rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done with soap and water. Extreme stains or grease should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and a plastic scrub pad.
• It is always good to rub with the grain of the steel.
• There are also stainless steel cleaners available that can restore and preserve the finish of the steel’s protective layer.
• Early signs of stainless steel breakdown can consist of small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in an attempt to restore the passivity of the steel.
• Never use an acid-based cleaning solution Many food products have an acidic content which can deteriorate the finish.
• Be sure to clean the stainless steel surfaces of ALL food products.

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 sealing. Do not use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could 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 grove in the door and 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.
• The drain can become loose or disconnected from moving or bumping. 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 may cause water to back up and overflow the drain pans.
