Installation

Important!!! Please Read Before Installation

• If the unit has recently been transported on its side, please let the unit stand still for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in.
•  Make sure that the unit drops down to the desired temperature before loading the unit with the product.
• Make sure that there is proper ventilation around the unit in the area where it will operate.
• Make sure all accessories are installed (i.e.. Shelves, shelf clips, casters) before plugging the unit in.
• Please read through the manual in its entirety.

Cabinet Location Guidelines

Install the unit on strong and leveled surfaces

• The unit may be noisy if the surface is uneven.
• The unit may malfunction if the surface is uneven.

Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area

• The unit performs more efficiently in a well-ventilated area. –
• For best performance, please maintain clearance of 4″ on the back of the unit. The front of the unit should
  remain unobstructed. – Outdoor use may cause decreased efficiency and damage to the unit.

Avoid installation in high humidity and/or dusty area

• Humidity could cause the unit to rust and decrease the efficiency of the unit.
• Dust collected on the condenser coil will cause the unit to malfunction.
• A malfunction due to a dirty condenser will void the warranty.

Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment

• High ambient temperatures will cause the compressor to overwork, leading to higher energy bills and the gradual breakdown of the unit. With the lid open, the unit should not be used in areas of 80 degrees. The unit should not be used in areas over 90 degrees.
• Malfunction due to high ambient temperature will void the warranty.

Electrical

• Please ensure that the required voltage of the compressor is being supplied at all times. Low or high voltage can detrimentally affect the refrigeration unit.
• All units should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate overcurrent protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the nameplate.
• Please make sure that your unit has its own dedicated outlet. · Do not use an extension cord.

Temperature Controls

•  Refrigerant LED – Compressor is on
• Fan LED – Fan is on · Defrost LED
• Defrost cycle is running

Functions

Adjusting the Temperature
Your new refrigerator or freezer is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should require no adjustments.
Freezers are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of -15°F and a maximum temperature of -8°F.

Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not run constantly in this setting. To change it, follow these instructions: Digital Control Units

• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press “SET” again to save your settings.
  Always remember to calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum temperatures and possible health code violations.

Defrost System
To ensure optimal performance, the unit should be placed into a defrost when the thickness of the ice on the cabinet wall reaches 1/4″. To defrost, the unit must be free of product and left unplugged or put in a manual defrost cycle until the ice build-up melts. Do not use sharp tools or scrape the ice, this could damage the interior of the cabinet. After defrosting, clean the wall with a dry cloth and then turn the power back on. To run a manual defrost, press the defrost button (snowflakes symbol and down arrow) for approximately 3 seconds. Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.
Please Note:

• The sound of water flowing during operation is normal; this is the refrigerant.
• When the humidity is high, condensation may form on the surface of the freezer.
• When the freezer is running, the condenser and compressor will be hot.
• For best performance, install where the temperature is below 75°F and 55% humidity.

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

Regular Maintenance

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
Cleaning The Condenser Coil

• For efficient operation, it is important that the condenser surface be kept free of dust, dirt, and lint.

• We recommend cleaning the condenser coil and fins at least once per month.

• Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer.
  Brush the condenser fins from top to bottom, not side to side.

• After cleaning, straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.

Cleaning The Fan Blades and Motor
If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth. If it is necessary to wash the fan blades, cover the fan motor to prevent moisture damage.
Cleaning The Interior of Unit

• When cleaning the cabinet interior, use a solvent of warm water and mild soap.
• Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, abrasive cleaners, or bleach that may damage the stainless steel surface.

Loading Product

• Each CPW unit includes Ice Cream Tub Covers to lock your tubs in place ·
• When the tubs become low, they may start spinning when scooping. To avoid this, each CPW includes 4 clips per tub cover to secure your ice cream tubs to the covers.
• We recommend closing the glass whenever the unit is not in use to maintain consistent temperatures within the cabinet
• Night covers are also provided to be put over ice cream tubs to maintain temperature and secure freshness until the next day
