SERIAL NUMBER INFORMATION
The serial number of all self-contained refrigerators and freezers is located inside the unit on the left-hand side near the top of the wall. Always have the serial number of your unit available when calling for parts or services. This manual covers standard units only. If you have a custom unit, consult the customer service department at the number listed on the back cover.

RECEIVING AND INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT

Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should be taken during unloading so the equipment is not damaged while being moved into the building.

1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or container. Any damage should be noted and reported to the delivering carrier immediately.
2. If damaged, open and inspect the contents with the carrier.
3. If the exterior is not damaged, yet upon opening, there is concealed damage to the equipment notify the carrier. Notification should be made verbally as well as in written form.
4. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the damaged equipment. This should be done within 10 days from receipt of the equipment.
5. Be certain to check the compressor compartment housing and visually inspect the refrigeration package. Be sure the lines are secure and the base is still intact.
6. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms upon request.
7. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made or waived.

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 refrigerator 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. The shelves have a rear turn up on them to prevent this. 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 mounted to the front of the coil. Prevent obstruction by locating large boxes and tall stacks of products at the bottom of the cabinet.

Outside cabinet
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens. It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2″ from any wall with at least 12″ of clear space above the unit. 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 to the sump. Failure to meet this requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.

Levelling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will not be subject to undue strain and the contents of the cabinet will not move around on the shelves. 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
Models are supplied on casters for your convenience, ease of cleaning underneath and for mobility. It is very important, however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Standard warranties will be voided due to improper installation procedures.

Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is connected to the proper power source. A protected circuit of the correct voltage and amperage must be run for connection of the line cord or permanent connection to the unit. The ON/OFF switch must be turned to OFF and the unit 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.

Refrigeration cycle
Refrigerators: Every 6 hours, the unit will turn off to let the evaporator coil clear up the ice. The controller now displays the defrost symbol. When the coil temperature reaches 41°F or after 20 minutes of defrosting, the unit will turn on again. The factory setting of the temperature range is 34 to 38°F.

Freezers: During the refrigeration cycle, the controller supplies power to the condensing unit and evaporator fan motors. The evaporator fan will run at any time when the evaporator coil temperature is below 54°F and it will cycle off during the defrost period. Every 6 hours, the unit will turn off and the defrost heater will work to clear up the ice. The controller now displays the defrost symbol. When the coil temperature reaches 45°F or after 20 minutes of defrosting, the unit will turn on again.

1. Anti-Condensation heaters on the door frames work in conjunction with the compressor.
2. The factory setting of the temperature range is -7 to -3°F

On/Off Switch
An on/off switch is located on the front of the bottom panel. When the unit is on, the switch will glow green.

Light Switch
A light switch is located next to the on/off switch on the front of the bottom panel.

MAINTENANCE

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

Refrigerators and Freezers
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 because it will scratch the stainless steel and plastic and can damage the breaker strips and gaskets.

Cleaning the Condenser Coil
The condenser coil requires regular cleaning. Recommended cleaning is 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.

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 a spray with the de-greasing agent and then blown 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.

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 discolouration. Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic scouring pads, NEVER USE STEEL PADS, WIRE BRUSHES OR SCRAPERS!
