Know your Equipment

Check for Shipping Damage
Prior to leaving the factory, each cabinet is throughly inspected and performance tested to assure proper operating temperatures.
Check the crate thoroughly for signs of shipping damage. If external damage exists, internal damage is also probable. Uncrating should be done while the carrier´s representative is present. Otherwise, the equipment should be uncrated as soon as possible, preferably within five (5) days. The manufacturer is not responsible for in-transit damage and the consignee must file any required damage claims directly with the carrier. If the damage is severe and obvious, write a brief description of the evidence on the carrier’s delivery receipt, and above the carrier representative’s signature. Call the distributor or dealer immediately, indicating that the cabinet was damaged.
If no obvious crate damage is present, within two hours of receiving the cabinet from the carrier, remove the packaging to inspect for concealed damage.

1. If concealed damage is found, call the carrier immediately, save all crating materials, and file the necessary freight claim with the carrier.
   Check for accesories: Check that the shelves are inside the unit, including the four clips or supports for each shelf.
   Installation instructions

WARNING

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with all applicable national, state, and local regulations.
• Appliance is heavy. Use care when lifting or positioning. Work in pairs when needed to prevent injury or damage.
• Do not tilt the appliance more than 45°.

Handling the Cabinet

1. Always move the unit in an upright position. Do not set it on its side or upside down as you may damage the cabinet and spill the compressor oil.
2. If lifting the unit, hold it from its base. It is recommended to use a dolly.
3. Do not let the unit fall abruptly.

Location
WARNING

• This appliance is not intended for outdoor use.

1. Place the cabinet on a surface solid enough to prevent vibration and strong enough to support the combined weight of the cabinet and the product load. Quick guideline: Estimate 35 pounds per cubic foot of storage space.
2. Cabinets should never be placed in front of windows or glass doors where sunlight will be in direct contact with the units. If a cabinet is located near a window or glass door, provide an adequate shade to block the sun´s rays.
3. Ambient temperature must be between 45°F (7°C) and 90°F (32°C). Low ambient temperatures below 45°F (7°C) are as harmful as high ambient temperatures. Extreme temperatures will definitely affect the performance of the cabinet.
4. Failure to properly level the cabinet could hinder proper draina ge and doorz operation. Casters are provided with the cabinets.
5. Clearance: Leave a space of at least 8” between the back of the cabinet and the wall to provide adequate air circulation of the unit compartment.

Remove the Crate and Skid

1. Remove the external packaging (corrugated board and plastic wrapping). Check for concealed damage. If any damage is identified, immediately forward a complaint to the transportation company.
2. Move the cooler to its final location, before removing the skid.
3. Using a screwdriver remove the screws that attaches the skid to the appliance.

Level the Cabinet
To install casters:
Casters are supplied with the equipment. Only use genuine casters or the base of the cooler might suffer damages. When installing the casters it is important to hand tighten securely against the base rail reinforcement assembly (see image). The top edge of the caster must make firm contact with the reinforcement assembly.

NOTE:
Casters with hand-brakes must be placed in FRONT of the unit.

Electrical Installation

Electrical Connection
WARNING

• Electrical connection must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or severe damage to equipment.
• This appliance requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the nameplate for electrical specifications. Failure to use an independent power supply of proper capacity can result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to existing wiring, or component failure. This could lead to heat generation or fire.
• THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED: This appliance is equipped with a NEMA 5-15 three-prong grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. It must be plugged into a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a qualified electrician replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not remove the ground prong from the plug and do not use an adapter plug. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, electric shock, or fire.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the power switch or plug with damp hands.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not use an appliance with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not be altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions could result in electric shock or fire. To unplug the appliance, be sure to pull the plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
• The GREEN ground wire in the factory-installed power cord is connected to the appliance. If it becomes necessary to remove or replace the power cord, be sure to connect the power cord’s ground wire.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
• The maximun allowable voltage variation is ± 10 percent of the nameplate rating.

Installing the Shelves

Shelves and shelf clips (4 clips per shelf) are packed inside the cabinet prior to shipment. After selecting the appropriate spacing inside the cabinet, install shelf clips by inserting top of clip inside the pilaster and then press the lower section of the clip while pushing inwards until it snaps into place. Repeat until all clips are in desired location. Place shelf on clips checking that all four corners of shelves are leveled and supported by the four shelf clips.

Start up the Cabinet

1. Plug in the electrical cord of the unit to a wall outlet, following the recommendations about electrical installation in this manual.
2. Let the cooler run with no product load for 2 hours, or let the compressor complete three on/off cycles to assure that the temperature inside is appropriate for the products before loading them into the freezer.
3. When placing products in the cooler, you should leave small gaps between one and the other to assure free circulation of air inside the cabinet.
4. Do not leave the door open for extended periods of time to avoid raising the temperature inside the cabinet.
5. Do not unplug your cooler during the night, since when you turn it back on during the day the electrical consumption will increase.

Factory Default Temperature Setpoint:

• Refrigerator 34°F (1.11°C)
• Freezer -5°F (-20.5°C)

The temperature of a refrigerator should be between +33°F(0.5°C) to +39°F(4°C)
