Installation

Please read this manual thoroughly prior to equipment set-up, operation and maintenance.

Important!!! Please Read Before Installation

  • After unboxing, the unit must be kept upright for a minimum of 24 hours in its final installation location before being plugged in. Failure to do so may cause damage to the compressor and will void the warranty.

  • Make sure the unit has reached the desired temperature before loading the unit with products.

  • Make sure all accessories are installed (shelves, shelf clips, etc…) before plugging in the unit.

  • Do not attempt to remove or repair any component of the unit. Consult an authorized service
    technician for servicing/repair.

  • Do not hang on doors.

  • Please read through this manual in its entirety.

Cabinet Location Guides

  • Install the unit on a strong and leveled surface.
    • If the surface is uneven, the unit may be noisy.
    • The unit may malfunction if the surface is uneven.
  • Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area.
    • For best performance, maintain 6″ of clearance on both sides and the back of the unit at all times.
    • Outdoor use may cause decreased efficiency and damage to the unit.
    • Avoid direct sunlight.
  • Avoid installation in a high humidity and/or dusty area.
    • High humidity can cause the unit to rust and may decrease efficiency.
    • Dust collected on the condenser coil may cause unit to malfunction.
    • Malfunction due to high ambient temperatures, humidity, or improperly maintained condenser coil will void the warranty.
  • Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment.
    • High ambient temperatures may cause the compressor to malfunction.
    • Malfunction due to high ambient temperatures and humidity will void the warranty.

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 protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
  • The unit should have its own dedicated outlet.
  • Do not use extension 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. Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor down-time, 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.
Freezer units contain a manual defrost system. If the frost on the interior walls is more than 1/4″, defrosting should be done. Method of defrosting: 1) Unplug the unit. Remove all contents of the freezer. After the freezer temperature rises, frost will melt or scale off. 2) To speed up defrosting, place a pan of hot water into the unit and close the door. After defrosting, drain the water and then use a soft cloth to dry the interior walls. Plug unit in and resume operation. Wait until unit reaches desired temperature before returning product to the freezer. Note: Never use sharp utensils or ice scrapers to scrape off frost.

Temperature Controls

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

Functions
Adjusting the Temperature for Digital Controls
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 -13°F and a maximum temperature of 5°F. Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not run constantly at 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 Control the minimum temperature setting. The cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum mute temperature as the compressor runs and shuts off. Setting set the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum temperatures and possible health code violations.

Adjusting the Temperature for Dial Controls
The temperature controls are factory-set to maintain an average temperature of 34° to 45° F in refrigerators and -13 to 5° F in freezers. In refrigerators, to maintain a different temperature, simply adjust the control knob located inside the unit. To decrease the temperature (colder), turn clockwise. To increase the temperature (warmer), turn counter-clockwise. In freezers, to maintain a different temperature, simply adjust using the electronic control arrows. If you received a unit with the Celsius controller, set the unit to -20.5° C to reach a temperature of -5° F. To set the temperature press the set button, adjust the temperature accordingly by pressing the up or down arrows, and then press set. This will ensure your freezer is operating at a safe temperature for frozen foods.

Operation/Maintenance

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by an authorized service technician.

Loading Product

  • Do not block the air duct/fan at the top of the unit. Maintain a minimum of 4″ of clearance between products and the fan at all times.
  • Ensure all shelves are sitting level and properly secured before loading products.
  • Do not store flammable and explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
  • Freezer display units are meant to maintain already frozen product temperature, not actively freeze products.
  • Refrigerator display units are meant to maintain already cold product temperature, not actively cool products.

Cleaning the Condensor 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.
  • Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment retailer.

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 interior finish.
  • Wash door gaskets on a regular basis, preferably weekly. Simply remove the door gasket from the frame of the door, soak it in warm water and soap for thirty (30) minutes, then dry with soft cloth and replace.
  • Check door gaskets for proper seal after they are replaced.
  • Periodically remove the shelves and shelf brackets from the unit, and clean them with a mild soap and warm water.
