package. I f damaged, open and inspect the contents with the carrier. Any damage should be
noted and reported on the delivering carrier’s receipt.
In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet up on opening, there is concealed damage to
the equipment notify, the carrier immediately. Notification should be made verbally as well as
in written form. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the damaged equipment.
Retain all crating material until inspection has been made. Contact the dealer through which

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 UNCRATING
Remove the outer packaging. Cut the 4 clamps that hold the refrigerator to the skid. Lift the
unit off the skid.
If machine was laid down during this operation, remember to leave the cabinet
up right for 24 hours before connecting to power source.
3.2 LOCATION
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen
has a floor strong enough to support the total weigh to the unit and its contents. For the most
efficient operation, be sure to provide at least three (3) inches between sides, back and top of
the unit.
THE MACHINES NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED 2 FEET AWAY FROM ANY HEAT SOURCES.
The unit should not be installed under ambient temperatures higher than 100 °F.
If the relative humidity is higher than 60 %, the door frames may sweat water. This is not a
malfunctioning of the unit.
WARNING
The following actions will void your warranty:
Modification of power cord.
Connecting the unit to any extension cord.
Neglecting to install the castors or optional legs.
Inside cabinet:
The first cleaning must happen when you unpack the unit and before it is turned ON. For
this, you have to clean the unit with warm water and mild detergent. When it is cleaned and
dry, proceed to install accessories and plug your unit in to a dedicated outlet. WAIT 24 HOURS
BEFORE PLACING PRODUCT IN THE UNIT. This will guarantee that it is working properly.
Consequential damages are not covered under warranty.
Outside cabinet:
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air to breathe. Avoid hot corners and locations near
stoves and ovens. It is recommended the unit be installed no closer than 3” from any wall. The
place where the refrigerator is placed must be open and clean. This will reduce the amount of
debris and dirt on the condenser fan and coil.

3.3 DATA PLATE
The data plate is located inside the cabinet, near the top front, left corner. Under any
circumstances should the data plate be removed from the unit. The data plate is essential to
identify the particular features of your machine and i t is of great benefit to installers,
operators, and maintenance personnel. It is recommended that, in the event the data plate is
removed, you copy down the essential information in this manual for reference before
installation. Removal of data plate will void the warranty.
3.4 LEVELING
Set unit in its final location. A level cabinet looks better and will perform better. Effective
condensate removal and door operation will be effected by leveling. Machine must be leveled
front to back and side to side with a level tool. Castors ki t wi ll include shims for leveling.
Insert the shim between the castor and the frame rail. (See installation of castors). Lock front
castors so cabinet does not move. Ensure drain hose is inside drain pan.
3.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Refer to the amperage data in this manual, or on data plate, and your local code or the
National Electrical Code to be sure unit is connected to the proper power source. Verify
correct incoming voltage according to the Data Plate information.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground prong from the power cord.
Asber units must be properly grounded.
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! Asber will not warranty any unit that has been
connected to an extension cord.
Asber equipment must be grounded and connected in accordance with NEC Article 422
Appliances.
Page8
ASBER – MERCHANDISER: Operations and Service Manual/Rev. JUN. 2015
DANGER:
Power must be turned off and disconnected from the power source whenever
performing maintenance, repair or cleaning the condensing unit.
If machine is still running when power is off, disconnect power at the circuit breaker
before unplugging the machine.
WARNING:
Machine and compressor warranties are void if failure is due to improper electrical
installation.
3.6 SHELVING INSTALLATION
Hook shelf rails onto shelf pilasters
Position all shelf rails equal in distance from the floor for level shelves
Wire shelves are oriented so that cross support bars are facing down
Note: Single door Reach-include an air flow guard on the rear of the shelves as well as a lip to
maintain an air space at the rear of the cabinet
Place shelves on shelf clips, making sure all corners are seated properly.
