RECEIVING

A. LRP ships by carriers that we have used for many years and have selected for their good service,

but accidents in shipping occur regardless of how much care is taken. Therefore the following is

very important:

B. Inspect unit at once for any shipping damage, including concealed damage.

C. You should check for any shipping damage immediately, preferably before the carrier leaves

your receiving dock, as nearly all shipments are FOB ship point.

D. If there is any damage, note it on the carrier's receiving documents and notify the office of the

carrier immediately.

E. The responsibility of the shipper and the delivering carrier ends five days after goods are received.

It becomes the responsibility of YOU, the customer, to unpack the unit and check for concealed

damage caused during shipping. Immediate attention should be given to this.

F. Retain all packing materials if damage is found.

INSTALLATION AND STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION – This unit requires a minimum of 4 inches of air flow in back and 1 to 2 inches on the sides

and top. Leveling legs are required in front only. Unit may have a slight tilt from front to back after

legs are installed. This is acceptable and is recommended on this unit.

POWER SOURCE – The supply circuit to this cabinet must conform to all National and Local Electrical

Codes. Consult the cabinet Serial-Data plate for voltage, cycle, phase, and ampere requirements

before making connection. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 5% FROM SERIAL

PLATE RATINGS. A separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to

over-loading or failure of other equipment on the same circuit. PROTECT THE CIRCUIT WITH A 20

AMP DELAY-TYPE FUSE.

STARTING – There are no compressor shipping bolts to loosen or valves to open. All that is necessary

after the freezer has been properly leveled is to plug the service cord into an electrical outlet. Do not

use an extension cord. Be sure your freezer is properly grounded. Use the 3-prong plug provided

into a 3-prong grounded outlet. (Only this method complies with national electrical codes, local

codes and ordinances.) Unless the above grounding method is followed, you are not protected

against severe or lethal shock in the event of a short circuit of an electrical component or wiring of the

freezer. When starting this new appliance, allow the cabinet to operate a minimum of three hours or

until it has started cycling normally before placing product in the cabinet. The motor compressor may

start and stop several times when the unit is first started or after defrosting, especially if the weather

is very hot. This is only normal functioning of the motor overload protector. The motor compressor

will cycle normally as soon as the excess heat has been removed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. DEFROSTING-This is a manual defrost system. If ice build up is present ¼ inch or more on the

fixed shelves, defrosting is recommended. Large ice build-up will reduce cooling efficiency.

B. CLEANING

1. Cabinet Exterior – Wash with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse with clear water and dry.

2. Cabinet Interior – Wash with 2 tbls. of baking soda and 1 qt. warm water solution or mild soap.

DO NOT USE STRONG CLEANERS, SCOURING POWDER OR PADS.

COMPRESSOR – CONDENSER

A. The compressor is hermetically sealed and will require no attention. The condenser is located

between the inside and outside walls of the freezer and also requires no attention. Its natural heat

keeps the exterior free of moisture; because of this, the outside may feel warm to the touch. This

condition entirely normal.

SERVICE

A. In the event this freezer does not operate properly, check the following before calling the service

man:

1. Is there adequate air circulation around the unit and in the room?

2. Is electrical power reaching the unit? (Check for blown fuse.)

3. Is service cord connected to outlet?

4. Is door closed tightly?

If this does not correct the difficulty, contact a competent service man.
