CLEARANCE AND PLACEMENT

Placement
Consider the following when selecting a location for your Refrigerator:
Clearance :

• 0″ – Left
• 0″ – Right
• 0″ – Rear
• 4 3/8″ – Below

Floor Load: the floor on which the Refrigerator is located must be even and level, free from vibrations, and strong enough to support the combined weights of the unit and maximum product load.
Ventilation : Grille area at front must be free and clear of any object or wall.
Power Outlet: 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 screw driver, and box cutter.

1. First, remove the cardboard top capping, all clear tape, and all staples including those at the bottom of the cardboard carton and skid.
2. Next, start from the top of the carton. Using the box cutter, carefully make one continuous cut to the bottom of the skid. Remove cardboard carton and discard.
3. Then, move unit as close to final position as possible before removing the skid.
4. Remove the brackets securing the unit to the skid.

Note: The skid must be removed before the casters or legs can be attached.
Do NOT tip unit on its front or sides. If tipped onto the back, unit must not be started for 3 hours.
Leveling:
Cabinet must be installed on a level surface. Failure to install on a level surface may result in the door not sealing or not remaining in position correctly, or during defrost maintenance, condensed water not draining properly. Install or attach any accessories that will be used Remove any plastic covering the stainless steel.
Do NOT loosen casters to level the cabinet. Casters MUST be tightly secured to cabinet for full strength.

ELECTRICAL

This is a cord-connected unit, and must be connected to its own dedicated power supply. Check the dataplate on the machine to confirm the voltage and per the dataplate 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 GFI device trips from moisture.
Power Cord
This 115 volt model is equipped with a cord and 5-15P plug.
If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced with the identical cord.
Follow All National and Local Codes
This Unit Must Be Grounded. Do not use extension cords and do not disable or by-pass ground prong on 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 bottom area, and the inside wall of the cabinet will begin to become cold.
The cabinet temperature has been set at the factory and should not need adjustment, however if it was changed, the standard setting is 38º F.
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.

USING THE UNIT WITH A DANFOSS CONTROLLER

Operation is simple, just keep it connected to the correct power supply and the refrigerator will maintain the internal temperature it has been set to. Keep the doors and / or drawers closed as much as possible to avoid unnecessary run time.
The controller displays the current internal temperature. Adjusting the set temperature lower will NOT cause the system to lower the temperature faster. When on, the refrigeration system is always operating at maximum.
The temperature was set at the factory at 38 ºF, but you can adjust it to your own selected temperature. 30 seconds after adjustment, the display automatically reverts to showing the current temperature.
SM units must be manually defrosted periodically. “Cold Wall” units like the SM maintain the air temperature of the cabinet at the set point by cooling the walls below the set point to approximately 20°F. Because the walls of the cooler are below the freezing temperature of water, ice may build up over time. It is important to occasionally manually defrost the unit to minimize ice build-up.
To manually defrost your milk cooler:

1. Remove the product from your milk cooler and place it in another refrigerated storage area.
2. Open the lids and doors of your milk cooler and unplug the power to the unit.
3. Wait approximately 30 min for the frost to melt and drain to the floor drain. Times may vary with ambient temperature in the room and ice build-up.
4. After manual defrost, Close the lid and doors and power the unit by plugging it into the outlet. Return product to the cooler after the air in the cabinet has cooled to the desired temperature.

WARNING: DO NOT SCRAPE THE WALLS TO SPEED UP DEFROSTING. SCRAPING MAY RUIN SURFACE FINISH OR PUNCTURE WALL AND DAMAGE REFRIGERATION TUBING BEHIND THE WALL
The compressor and condenser fan motor will only be on when the controller senses an increase in internal cabinet temperature passed the set point In most cases the only thing displayed will be the cabinet temperature. When something other than normal operation has occurred, a message will be shown.

5. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
6. Restore power.
7. Return food to the unit when it has reached a safe temperature.

Defrosting
ST units must be manually defrosted periodically. “Cold Wall” units like the SM and ST maintain the air temperaturof the cabinet at the set point by cooling the walls below the set point to approximately 20°F. Because the walls of the cooler are below the freezing temperature of water, ice may build up over time. It is important to occasionally manually defrost the unit to minimize ice build-up.
To manually defrost your milk cooler:

1. Remove the product from your milk cooler and place it in another refrigerated storage area.

2. Open the lids and doors of your milk cooler and unplug the power to the unit.

3. Wait approximately 30 min for the frost to melt and drain to the floor drain. Times may vary with ambient temperature in the room and ice build-up.
   WARNING: DO NOT SCRAPE THE WALLS TO SPEED UP DEFROSTING. SCRAPING MAY RUIN SURFACE FINISH OR PUNCTURE WALL AND DAMAGE REFRIGERATION TUBING BEHIND THE WALL

4. After manual defrost, Close the lid and doors and power the unit by plugging it into the outlet. Return product to the cooler after the air in the cabinet has cooled to the desired temperature.

CONDENSER CLEANING

Keeping the condenser coil clean is critical to efficient operation.

1. Unplug unit from power supply.
   Rotating fan blade can cause personal injury.
   Unplug unit from power supply before beginning to clean condenser

2. Remove the Phillips head screws on the left and right of the rear panel

3. Pull the panel away from the unit.

4. Brush off the surface of the condenser fins. Do NOT bend the fins.

5. Vacuum the surface of the condenser fins.

6. To reinstall the rear panel line up the screw holes and reinstall the Philips head screws.

Note: If the coil is greasy, the coil will need to be cleaned with coil cleaner and that should be left to an experienced technician.
Note: Air filters are not recommended as they restrict the flow of cooling air.

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 also be in a well ventilated area, with a nearby open window or door.
• A sign noting 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.

Other Information:
Evacuation: It is critical that a refrigeration system be leak free and internally dry. A thorough evacuation with a good vacuum pump with a micron gauge attached is the only way to ensure that the system is dry and ready for a charge of refrigerant.
Charging: The system is critically charged and the proper type and amount MUST be weighed in.
Overcharge symptoms : Unit will cool properly but the suction line temperature will be unusually cold. Compressor run time will be longer than normal.
Undercharge symptoms: Long run time, poor cooling and a hot compressor dome are the main symptoms of an undercharge.

Normal wear parts, as deemed by Beverage-Air, such as but not exclusive to, light bulbs/lamps and gaskets are not covered by this warranty. For the purpose of this warranty, the original purchaser shall be deemed to mean the individual or company for who the product was originally installed.
Units that utilize variable speed compressor technology can experience nuisance tripping on Class A GFCI outlets which have a trip limit of 4 mA to 6 mA. To avoid this issue in a location that requires GFCI circuit protection, Beverage-Air & Victory recommends using a HUBBELL Model Number GFRST83W 20A Heavy Duty Hospital Grade Self-Test GFCI Receptacle. Nuisance tripping not covered under warranty.
Our obligation under this warranty shall be limited to repairing or replacing, including labor, any part of such product, which proves thus defective. Beverage-Air reserves the right to examine any product claimed to be defective and request photos of the unit  prior to dispatching service. Moisture or water damage is not covered under warranty. If service is deemed nonwarranty, Beverage-Air reserves the right to bill the end user for service.
The labor warranty shall be for self-contained units only and for standard straight time, which is defined as normal service rate time, for service performed during normal working hours. All warranty labor will be covered at standard time. Any service requested
outside of a servicer’s normal working hours including weekends and any additional overtime will be at the responsibility of the equipment purchaser. Any part or accessory determined to be defective in the product should be returned to the company within thirty (30) days under the terms of this warranty and must be accompanied by a record of the cabinet model, serial number, and identified with a return material authorization number (RMA#) issued by the manufacturer.
Special installation/applications, including remote locations, are limited in coverage by this warranty.
Any installation that requires extra work, and/or travel, to gain access to the unit for service is the sole responsibility of the equipment purchaser.
Improper operation resulting from factors, including but not limited to, improper or negligent cleaning and maintenance, improper installation, low voltage conditions, inadequate wiring, outdoor use (unless otherwise specified) and accidental damage are not manufacturing defects and are strictly the responsibility of the purchaser.
With the exception of Blast Chillers, the product is designed for maintaining temperature and not bringing food to a desired temperature and therefore cannot be held responsible for this function under warranty. Units must be in a conditioned environment or warranty will be void. Non-standard use of unit can also be subject to reduced or voided warranty.
Condensing coils must be cleaned at regular intervals as a part of preventative maintenance for optimal performance. Failure to do so is subject to a voided warranty. Although cleaning requirements vary in accordance with operation of various products, Beverage-Air recommends a minimum monthly cleaning.
NO CLAIMS CAN BE MADE AGAINST THIS WARRANTY FOR SPOILAGE OF FOOD, PRODUCTS, LOSS OF SALES OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY GIVEN IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED, ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON OUR PART, AND WE NEITHER ASSUME, NOR AUTHORIZE ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR US, ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF SAID REFRIGERATION UNITS OR ANY PARTS THERE OF.
This warranty shall not be assignable and shall be honored only in so far as the original purchaser. This warranty does not apply outside the limits of the United States of America and Canada, nor does it apply to any part that has been subject to misuse, neglect, alteration, accident, or to any damage caused by transportation, flood, fire, acts of terrorism, or acts of God.
