Install or attach any accessories that will be used Remove any plastic covering the stainless steel.
ELECTRICAL
This is a cord-connected unit, and must be connected to its own dedicated power supply. Check the data plate on the machine to confirm the voltage and per the data plate 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 120 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.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug, which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Initial Start Up
Before connecting your equipment, check that the electrical data on the data plate matches your electrical output. If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. If you suspect the voltage is too high or low, consult with your power company for testing.
Plug the power cord into the proper power supply.
The cabinet temperature has been set at the factory and should not be adjusted by unqualified personnel. For any adjustment, you must contact your distributor.
Cautions
Unplug the freezer before cleaning and making repairs.
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.
PLUG THE EQUIPMENT INDEPENDENTLY TO A LOAD CENTER WITH AN APPROPRIATE CIRCUIT BREAKER ACCORDING TO THE NAMEPLATE AMPS.
To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
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.
Electronic Temperature Control
To access the temperature control, the right side grill should be removed
using a Phillips screw driver (see figure below).
The temperature control is factory pre-set to provide satisfactory product
storage products. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a
range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder temperature
is desired, turn the control clockwise. Allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
THIS UNIT CANNOT BE INSTALLED IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH EXPLOSIVE GASES, IT IS DESIGNED ONLY FOR INDOOR OPERATION
STORAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT:
- The unit must be located in an indoor environment. It is best suited for an environment where temperatures remain below 75°F and humidity doesn’t exceed 55%.
- For the correct performance of the refrigeration system, it is very important to leave at least 4″ of free space on both sides, and at the back of the unit to allow proper air circulation. Do not block the grills on the side or back of the unit.
- The location of the cooler must be kept away from sources of heat and humidity including direct sunlight, ovens, heaters, or any other heat generating appliances.
- If the equipment will be kept in storage, it is suggested to keep it in it’s original packing. If your equipment needs to be inactive for a long period of time, it should be uplugged and cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth, lukewarm water, and neutral soap. Once clean, carefully dry the unit and cover it with a polyethylene film or similar waterproof material
LOADING THE EQUIPMENT:
The NC series of units are not intended to be pull down freezers, and as such, the product must be loaded at their intended merchandising temperature.
OVERLOADING THE FREEZER FORCES THE COMPRESSOR TO RUN LONGER. DO NOT EXCEED THE LOAD LIMIT ACCORDING TO LABELS FIXED ON THE INNER CABINET (WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE BASKETS’ HEIGHT
- Before loading products, allow the equipment to operate empty for at least four hours.
- Product to be loaded should be at -4°F since the equipment is intended for maintaining a cool product at 0°F at load level rather than freezing a warm product.
- The baskets have been designed to withstand the rigors of normal use. Avoid product overloading to prevent deforming the baskets.
- Keep the lids closed to avoid warm air and moisture getting into the freezer.
MOVING THE EQUIPMENT:
The unit is shipped with casters to facilitate moving the unit into position

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 be near an opened 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.
POWER/FREEZE FAILURE
NOTE: DO NOT OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR UNNECESSARILY IF POWER TO THE FREEZER IS OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS. IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS, FROZEN FOODS WILL STAY FROZEN FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS IF THE FREEZER ISEPTCLOSED. IF THE POWER FAILURE CONTINUES, PACK SEVEN OR EIGHT POUNDS OF DRY ICE INTO THE FREEZER EVERY 24 HOURS. COVER THE PRODUCT WITH A CARDBOARD SHEET OR ONE INCH POLYURETHANE SHEET AND CLOSE THE LIDS. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING DRY ICE.
IF THE FREEZER HAS STOPPED OPERATING, SEE “FREEZER DOES NOT RUN” IN THE SERVICE CHECKLIST SECTION OFTHIS MANUAL. IF YOU CANNOT SOLVE T E PROBLEM, CALL AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ALLOW INEXPERIENCED PEOPLE TO REPAIR OR MODIFY THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND/OR REFRIGERATION COMPONENTS.
BEFORE CALLING SERVICE, REVIEW THIS LIST. IT MAY SAVE YOU BOTH TIME AND COSTS. THIS LIST INCLUDES COMMON OCCURRENCES THAT ARE NOT THE RESULT OF DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS IN THIS APPLIANCE.
OCCURRENCE | SOLUTION |
---|---|
Freezer runs too much or for too long | Check to ensure that the freezer is not |
plugged into a circuit that has ground fault interrupt – if you are unsure
about the outlet, have it checked by a certified technician.Temperature
control is in the OFF position – see “Setting the Temperature Control
Section”.Freezer may not be plugged in, or the plug may be loose – be sure the
plug is tightly pushed into electric outlet.House fuse has blown, or the
circuit breaker has tripped – check the circuit breaker and reset if needed,
or replace fuse with a 15 amp time delay fuse.In case of power outage – call
the local electric company.
Temperature inside the freezer is too low| Room or outside weather is hot –
it’s normal for the freezer to work harder under those conditions.Freezer was
recently disconnected for a period of time – the freezer requires 4 hours to
cool down completely.Large amounts of warm or hot product have been stored
recently – warm product will cause the freezer to run more until the desired
temperature is reached.Door is kept open too long or too frequently – warm air
enters the freezer every time the door is opened, try to open the door less
often.Freezer door may be slightly open.Temperature control is set too cold –
turn the control knob to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilize.
Temperature inside the freezer is too high| Temperature control is set too low
– turn the control to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilize
Temperature of external freez- er surface is warm| Temperature control is set
too high – turn the control to a colder setting and allow several hours for
the temperature to stabilize. Door is kept open too long or is opened too
frequently, which allows warm air to enter the freezer every time it is
opened. – try to open the door less often.The door may be slightly opened.The
freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time – allow 4 hours to
cool down completely.
Noise level is higher whenever the freezer is on| The exterior freezer walls
can be as much as 30°F warmer than the room temperature. This is normal while
the compressor works to transfer heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Noise level is higher when the compressor comes on| The fan motor in the
compressor compartment is damaged or has a loose connection.Modern freezers
have increased storage capacity and more even temperatures, so they require a
high efficiency compressor. So when the surrounding noise level is low, you
may hear the compressor running while it cools the interior.
Popping or cracking sound when the compressor comes on| Freezer operates at
higher pressure during the start of the ON cycle – this is normal, the sound
will level off or disappear as the freezer continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling| Metal parts undergo expansion
and contraction, similar to hot water pipes – this is normal, the sound will
level or disappear as the freezer continues to run.
Vibrating or rattling noise| Refrigerant (used to cool freezers) is
circulating throughout the system – this is normal.
Moisture forms on the inside freezer walls| Freezer is not level, it may rock
on the floor when it is moved slightly – level the unit.Floor is uneven or
weak, freezer rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly – be sure the floor
can adequately support the freezer. If so, level the freezer by placing either
wood or metal shims under part of the freezer.Weather is hot, or humidity
level is high, this increases the internal rate of frost build-up – this is
normal.Door is slightly open, kept open too long, or is being opened too
frequently – this causes the cold air from inside the freezer to meet the warm
moist air from outside.
Odor inside the freezer| Interior needs to be cleaned – clean the interior
according to the instructions in this manual. Products with strong odors are
inside the freezer – cover the product tightly.
