A freestanding installation will allow you to install the commercial refrigerator in almost any place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the commercial refrigerator.

Built-in Installation:
A recessed installation will allow you to install the commercial refrigerator under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet as long as the required clearance space around the commercial refrigerator is provided. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit, including at the back of the unit.

The following additional items must be observed:

1. Place the commercial refrigerator in front of the installation location. Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
2. Install the sealing strip if desired.
3. If the electrical outlet is behind the cabinet, plug in the commercial refrigerator.
4. Push the commercial refrigerator into position.

Warning: DO NOT install the commercial refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door.

Clearance Requirements

Notes:

• Choose a location that has ambient temperatures above 50° F and below 90° F. Operation outside these temperatures may result in lowered efficiency or cause other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g. wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other heat sources.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the commercial refrigerator and the wall or cabinet.

When installing the commercial refrigerator with a built-in installation, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown.

To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow at least 3/4” of clearance at the back, 1/2” at the top, and 1/2” at the sides. If the door side is against a wall, allow at least 2 1/4” of clearance. The installation should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary.

Before you move your Commercial refrigerator into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:

A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your commercial refrigerator, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 Amps.

Recommended Grounding Method

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged wall socket and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

Leveling the Commercial Refrigerator

It is important for the commercial refrigerator to be level in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the commercial refrigerator becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.

1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the product to see if the commercial refrigerator is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Adjust the height of the feet as follows:

Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator. Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator.

Note: Once you are ready to install the unit in a cabinet or directly on the floor, you must adjust the feet to level the commercial refrigerator.

Installing the Sealing Strips

Four (4) sealing strips have been included with the commercial refrigerator. Two (2) for the front/back, and two (2) for the right/left. Once the sealing strips are fully installed they will create a barrier between the bottom of the commercial refrigerator and the floor that will help prevent dirt, debris, and other contaminenets from getting under the refrigerator.

To install the sealing strips:

1. Make sure the leveling legs are properly installed and that the unit is level.
2. Using two or more people, carefully place the commercial refrigerator on its back.
3. Remove a sealing strip from the packaging.
4. Place the sealing strip on the bottom of the unit around the leveling legs.
5. Make sure that the sealing strip is fully installed and flush with the bottom of the refrigerator.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for the remaining sealing strips.
7. Carefully return the refrigerator to its original upright position.
8. Using a carpenter’s level, ensure that the refrigerator is still level.

Note: The size of the sealing strips may vary. When installing the sealing strips, please safely remove any excess material, with scissors or a similar cutting tool, so that the sealing strips match the underside of the refrigerator.

Warning: Take care when removing the excess material from the sealing strips. Improper use of a cutting tool can result in injury.

Warning: Use two or more people to move and install the commercial refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Normal Sounds
Your new commercial refrigerator may make noise during normal operation. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The following describes several sounds you may hear and what may be making them:

• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the commercial refrigerator can also make noises.
• The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your commercial refrigerator.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.

Temperature Alarm
If the interior temperature is higher than 73°F (23°C), “HH” is shown on the temperature control panel and the temperature alarm will sound continuously for one hour. This indicates that the inner temperature is too high. When the interior temperature falls below 73°F (23°C) the alarm will stop automatically. If the inner temperature is lower than 30°F (-1°C), “LL” is shown on the temperature display panel and the temperature alarm will sound continuously for one hour. When the interior temperature rises above 30°F (-1°C) the alarm will stop automatically. If one of these situations occurs please reference the troubleshooting section found in this manual or contact EdgeStar for support.

Door Ajar Alarm
This commercial refrigerator includes a door ajar alarm, which will sound if one of the doors is open for more than three (3) minutes, “00 00” is shown on the temperature control panel and the door ajar alarm will sound continuously for three (3) minutes will Leaving the door open for extended periods of time will cause poor cooling performance and may shorten the life of the Refrigerator. Keep the doors closed as frequently as possible.

Warning:

• Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.

Defrosting

Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost in most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
