Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
REACH-IN REFRIGERATORS AND FREEZERS
INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the Reach-In Refrigerators and
Freezers. Please read this manual completely before
attempting to install or operate this equipment.
Site Preparation
The installation site must be cleaned and prepared prior
to the equipment delivery.
• Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS and have a licensed
electrician conrm that all electrical requirements
are satised.
RECEIVING AND INSPECTING
Exercise care to prevent damaging the equipment during unloading and on-site transporting.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package, skid
and/or container. Report any damage to the carrier
immediately.
2. If any packaging damage is noted, open and inspect
the contents with the carrier.
3. If concealed damage is discovered after unpacking
the equipment notify the carrier. Notication must
be made both in writing and verbally.
4. Check the compressor compartment housing and
visually inspect the refrigeration package. Conrm
that the lines are secure and the base is intact.
• Conrm that all ooring is structurally strong enough
to support the weight of a fully loaded unit; a fully
loaded unit can weigh as much as 1500 pounds.
Consult with a structural engineer for conrmation if
there is any reason to doubt the oor strength.
• Conrm that adequate ventilation has been provid-
ed, and that the unit will not be located close to a
heat source.
• For all units on casters, conrm that the oor is level
where the unit is to be located.
5. Request the required damage forms and an equipment damage inspection by the shipping company.
The inspection should be performed within 10 days
from receipt of the equipment.
6. Retain all crating material until an inspection has
been performed or waived.
Serial Number Location
The serial number of all self-contained refrigerators and
freezers is located inside the unit on the left hand side
near the top on the wall. Have the serial number available when calling for parts or service.
This manual covers only standard units. For a custom
unit, consult the customer service department. See the
customer service phone number listed on the last page.
