Electrical

  • Please ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
  • The unit should be plugged into a grounded and properly sized electrical outlet with appropriate over-current projection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
  • This unit should have its own dedicated outlet.
  • Do not use extention cords.
  • Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
  • If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
  • To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
  • After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.

Defrost System

Refrigeration units contain an automatic defrost system. Refrigeration coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor downtime, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated.

Safety / Warning
Please pay close attention to the safety notices in this section. Disregarding these notices may lead to serious injury and/or damage to the unit.

Attention

  • To minimize shock and fire hazards, be sure not to overload outlet. Please designate one outlet for your unit.
  • Do not use extension cords.
  • Do not put your hands under the unit while it is being moved.
  • When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
  • After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.

Unplug Cord

  • To minimize shock and fire hazards, please do not plug or unplug the cord with wet hands.
  • During maintenance and cleaning, please unplug the unit. Proper Grounding Required
  • To minimize shock and fire hazards, make sure that the unit is properly grounded.

Warning

  • Do not attempt to remove or repair any component unless instructed by factory.
  • Make sure that the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord or plug.
  • To minimize personal injury, do not hang on the doors.
  • Do not store any flammable and explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
  • Do not attempt to alter or tamper with the electrical cord.

Cleaning the Condenser Coil

  • For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
  • We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.

Condensor Coil Cleaning Instructions:
A dusty condenser may lead to high energy consumption, less cooling effectiveness, and compressor damage.
The condenser coil is located at the bottom behind the panel.

  1. Disconnect the electrical power from the unit.
  2. Remove the front cover and base cover with a screwdriver.
  3. Using a soft brush and/or vacuum, remove the dirt, lint, etc. from the finned condenser coil in a vertical direction.
  4. Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipmentretailer. Ex. Nobel Chemical Tech Line.
