- Ventilation: The grille area at the front must be free and clear of any object or wall.
- Power Outlet: A dedicated power outlet is located within the length of the unit’s power cord.
UNPACKING AND SET UP
Carefully inspect the shipping carton for damage. This is the only time that shipping damage may be claimed. If damage is suspected, open the carton immediately and, if there is damage, retain the carton and contact the shipper to make a claim. Do NOT contact the manufacturer.
Uncrating
Tools Needed:
¾” box wrench, adjustable wrench, level, flat head screwdriver, and box
cutter.
-
Cut the stretch wrap along a corner post and remove the cardboard top capping and the corner posts.
-
Discard stretch wrap and any cardboard that will not be recycled.
Note: additional clear plastic protective wrap is applied directly to any product with a glass door. -
Move the unit as close to the final position as possible before removing the skid.
Note: The skid must be removed before the casters or legs can be attached.
Do NOT tip the unit on its front or sides. If tipped onto the back, the unit must not be started for 3 hours.
Skid Removal and Caster Attachment
Tip the unit forward and remove the skid.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury. The unit must be securely ported while attaching
casters or legs.
- Remove the shipping bolts using the ¾” box wrench while the cabinet is held in one direction. Repeat the process while the cabinet is held in the opposite direction.
- None of the threads on the leg or caster stem should be visible once screwed in.
- Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately 8” and block it securely with pieces of 2×4 lumber or other suitable material.
- While moving the unit, take extra caution to not push, pull, or strike the front or side glass.
Levelling:
Cabinets must be levelled when installed. The level should be measured on the
headrail.
Note:
If no casters, legs or levellers are to be installed, the floor below the
equipment must be level
- Failure to level your cabinet may result in the door not sealing, or closing correctly, or condensed water not draining properly.
- For cabinets with legs, rotate the foot of the leg with an adjustable wrench to achieve the desired height for levelling.
- For cabinets with casters, levelling can be achieved by placing large washers in between the ½’ stud and the holes located on the bottom of the case.
- Do NOT loosen casters to level the cabinet. Casters MUST be tightly secured to the cabinet for full strength.
- 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 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 the GFI device
trips from moisture.
-
Power Cord
- This 120-volt model is equipped with a cord and either a 5-15P or 5-20P plug.
- If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced with an identical cord.
-
Follow All National and Local Codes
This Unit Must Be Grounded. Do not use extension cords and do not disable or bypass the ground prong on the electrical plug. -
Initial Start-Up
- Plug the power cord into the proper power supply.
- The cabinet will soon begin to blow warm air out of the top area, and cool air will flow from the inside blower.
- The cabinet temperature has been set at the factory at 34°F and should not be adjusted by unqualified personnel. For any adjustment, you must contact your distributor.
-
Cautions
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. -
Electronic Temperature Control
-
The unit is provided with an electronic temperature control which controls the operation of the unit based on the temperature of the air entering the evaporator at the front of the unit. To achieve the desired product temperature, the electronic control is factory-adjusted to turn off the refrigeration system at 35°F and start it at 39.5°F.
-
When you plug the unit in, the control display will illuminate. However, there is a start-up delay of two minutes before the compressor(s) are energized. This delay avoids the possibility that during a power failure, the compressors
are forced to restart before the refrigerant pressures are equalized. -
The control has been factory-adjusted with a defrosting cycle scheduled to last 6 minutes every hour to ensure that the evaporator performs without any ice build-up.
-
None of the factory-programmed electronic control parameters can be modified unless an access code is entered (only your distributor’s technical personnel have that code).
-

FOR THE SERVICE TECH
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 the 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.
Mechanical Components:
- The units will have either one or two compressors that will start in two steps, with a delay of ten seconds to reduce the rush of current into the unit.
- These units incorporate a “maintenance-free condenser design in the refrigeration system which reduces the need for the regular cleaning process that fin and tube condensers require. Besides the savings in preventive maintenance costs, energy expenses will be stable throughout long periods since the condensers will remain “clean and unobstructed”.
- In the event it is believed that the unit has had a “freeze up” condition due to the operation of the unit in high temperature or humidity conditions, the evaporator can be inspected by removing the floor of the inside of the unit. In the event the evaporator is frozen, it can be thawed by emptying the cabinet of all contents and removing power until the coil is clear.
- When the equipment operates, condensed water from the environment is collected on the evaporator. During each off-cycle, the water drains to the evaporator tray located at the bottom of the unit, where it is evaporated using the heat from the refrigeration system.
- The condensing unit can be pulled out, sliding it approximately 16″ to allow servicing of the condenser motor(s), compressor(s), and other electrical components. To service the condensing unit, remove the two screws that hold the lower front grille (one at each side). Remove the screws that hold the front bracket that clasps the condensing unit and slide it out gently to have access to the components you want to check. Once completed, ensure that every component has been returned to ititsriginal location for proper operation.
- The lamp can be turned off with the switch located at the left side of the upper section, near the lamp.
- The night curtain should be closed whenever the unit is not required for actively merchandising products.
