Electrical

• 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. Refrigeration coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor downtime, 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.

Operation/Maintenance

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

Loading Product

• Do not block the air vents.
• Ensure all shelves are sitting level and properly secured before loading products.
• Do not store flammable and explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.

Cleaning the Condenser 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
