SM, SMF, MS MODELS
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• INSPECTION ON ARRIVAL
UPON ARRIVAL OF THE COOLER, THE CARTON SHOULD BE CAREFULLY INSPECTED FOR ANY OUTWARD SIGN OF
DAMAGE. IF ANY SIGN OF DAMAGE IS FOUND, IT SHOULD BE NOTED ON THE CARRIER’S FREIGHT BILL BEFORE SIGNING
FOR THE MERCHANDISE. IN ANY CASE, THE COOLER SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY UNCRATED TO CHECK FOR APPARENT OR
CONCEALED DAMAGE WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER DELIVERY AND THE CARRIER NOTIFIED FOR AN INSPECTION WITHIN THIS
PERIOD.
• UNCRATING - SM, SMF, MS MODELS
To uncrate cooler, remove staples around the bottom of carton with screwdriver. Care should be taken to remove the
staples completely so that they will not damage the cooler nish when the carton is removed. Lift the carton tube from
around the cooler. Remove cooler from skid.
• LOCATING COOLER
It is necessary to properly level cooler to provide adequate drainage and efcient functioning of the unit. Make sure there is
enough room around the cooler to assure good air circulation through the condenser.
• ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
Plug all standard models into a 110-115 volts A.C. 50- or 60-cycle outlet. Low line voltage is often the cause of service
complaints. Check to see that the live voltage is 110 volts or more with the unit running. Other motors or heavy appliances
should not be used on the same circuit with the cooler. When working on the inside of the cooler, disconnect from electrical
circuit for safety reasons.
• STARTING UP OF UNIT
Factory setting of temperature control is at No. 5 position (normal) on control dial which will maintain the temperature as
follows:
36°F —SM Models
40°F —MS Models
For colder temperature, turn control knob to higher number, one position at a time. Excessive tampering with the control
could lead to service difculties. Should it become necessary to replace temperature control, be sure it is ordered from an
authorized Beverage-Air distributor or direct from the factory.
• DRAINAGE — MS MODELS
The condensation drains into a condensate disposal pan located just below unit compartment grill. This pan is equipped
with vapor glass wicking to hasten the evaporation process so plumbing is not required. The drain lines and pan should be
thoroughly cleaned periodically as solids from spilled products may not evaporate, resulting in an unsanitary condition.
• CLEANING
The cooler should be thoroughly cleaned inside and out at regular intervals to preserve the nish and appearance. If
stainless steel becomes discolored or stained, it can be cleaned with standard cleaners such as Bon-Ami, but not with
steel wool. All dirt and lint should be removed from the condenser at regular intervals for efcient performance of the cooler.

REFRIGERATION
SYSTEM
ANALYSIS CHART
SERVICE AND
• REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The Refrigeration System consists of a 115v. 60 Hz. hermetically sealed compressor, nned evaporator and condenser.
• CONDENSER
The condenser has wide nned spaces which allow more air passage with less dirt or dust accumulation. The condenser still requires periodic
cleaning for maximum efciency.
• CONDENSER FAN MOTOR
The condenser fan motor assembly is mounted between the condenser and compressor. Air is drawn through the condenser, over the body of the
compressor and then out the rear of the unit compartment.
The motor is wired to cycle with the compressor but will continue to operate should the compressor cut out on the overload (the motor is
permanently lubricated; therefore, oiling is not required).
• DRIER
The drier is installed in the system just before the capillary tube. Its purpose is to trap minute particles of foreign material and absorb any moisture in
the system.
• LIQUID CONTROL AND HEAT EXCHANGE
Liquid refrigerant control to the evaporator of the system is accomplished by the use of a capillary tube. This capillary tube is soldered to the suction
line to form a heat exchanger which subcools the liquid refrigerant to maintain high efciency within the system.
REFRIGERATION SERVICE
• EVACUATION
Moisture in a refrigeration system is directly or indirectly the cause of more problems and complaints than all other factors combined. When large
amounts are present, system freeze-ups will occur. Even in minute amounts, moisture will combine with refrigerants to form a hydrochloric acid. The
corrosive action of this acid forms sludge which will plug the lines and drier.
Only a vacuum pump should be used for evacuation because operating the compressor in a deep vacuum could cause serious damage to the
compressor windings. Since most eld-type vacuum pumps cannot pull a low enough vacuum to remove moisture from the system, it is
recommended that the system be triple evacuated, breaking each time with dry refrigerant. Use care to purge air from the charging hose when
breaking the vacuum. After third vacuum, backseat valves and proceed with replacement charge.
• CHARGING REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Since capillary tube systems have small critical refrigerant charges, we recommend that a eld charge either be weighed in or put in from a portable
charge board. After maximum vacuum has been obtained as detailed above, attach charging cylinder to the suction line making sure to purge air
from hose with refrigerant. With the unit running, allow refrigerant to run slowly into the system until the desired charge is reached.
OVERCHARGE
When cabinet has pulled down to operating temperature, an
indication of an overcharge is that the suction line will be cooler
than normal with the compressor running. Running time will be
higher than normal. Suction line will sweat or frost.
Purge excessive refrigerant from the system very carefully in small
amounts, waiting several minutes for the system to balance.
An undercharge or shortage of refrigerant will result in any or all of
the following:
1. Lower than normal head pressure.
2. Lower than normal suction pressure.
3. Excessive or continuous operation of compressor.
4. Higher than normal cabinet temperature.
UNDERCHARGE
When correct charge has been obtained with cabinet at operating temperature, several seconds after compressor has started after cycle, suction
line will frost and remain frosted for approximately (60) seconds.
