Cleaning Instructions

1. Before cleaning, turn off power and unplug refrigeration unit.

2. Racks are easily removed without tools for cleaning. Simply lift up and
pull out. The tray slides may be hand-washed or run through an
automatic washer.

3. If applicable, vinyl trim or laminate should be washed with a chlorine­free detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly with clear water and allow to
dry. Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes, car polish or substances
containing strong aromatic solvents or alcohol. Caution: When using
solvents, it is essential that proper precautionary measures be
observed. Refer to solvent manufacturer's instructions. Use of direct
steam/hot water cleaning at temperatures above 190°F may result in
"bubbling" or loosening of vinyl adhesive.

4. To clean stainless steel surfaces use only cleansers, detergents,
degreasers, or sanitizers that are certified to be "chloride-free" and
"phosphate-free," and cleansers, degreasers, or sanitizers only in the
recommended concentrations. DO NOT exceed recommended
concentrations or mixing ratios. After cleaning and sanitizing, rinse all
exposed surfaces thoroughly with large amounts of clear water. Wipe
off any standing liquid or residue from all surfaces, corners, or near
edges.

THERMOMETER CALIBRATION

Operates on 120 volt, 60 HZ, 1 PH, 8.5 amps, 10 foot power cord with
NEMA 5-15P plug.

Requirements
Cabinet

Operations

The refrigerator will not lower food temperatures with the door open.

PHB models are capable of cooling to a temperature of 32°F. Pre ­cooling time to 40°F approximately 30 minutes. PHFB models capable of
cooling to a temperature of 0°F. Pre-cooling time to 0°F, approximately
40 minutes. Only product that has been pre -chilled should be placed into
the cabinet. Placing warm product into the cabinet will elevate the
cabinet air temperature above 40°F. This will have a direct affect on
optimum product serving temperatures.
Due to various conditions such as extremely high kitchen temperature,
high frequency of tray activity and excessively long operations, the door
may need to be closed so the unit can recover to proper operating
temperature.

Do not plug into ungrounded receptacle. Check to ensure that
heater plug is in safe operating condition.

1. Pre-chill empty cabinet with door closed for approximately 40 minutes.
Always keep the door closed except when actually unloading the
refrigerator. Do not load the cabinet until the proper operating
temperature has been reached, (34°F-40°F). Power light will
illuminate when switch is on.

2. Load the cabinet from the bottom up. After loading, close the door
and allow inside air temperature to restabilize to (34°F-40°F).

3. Unload the cabinet from the top down.

4. Close the door during slow periods to extend the effective
temperature maintenance time.

Remember: The refrigerator must be at proper temperature

(34° F-40°F) before the door is opened.

This unit is equipped with an automatic condensate evaporator.
To prevent water spills, leave the unit plugged in with the door
closed for a minimum of 90 minutes after use.

Calibration

Place a thermometer in the center of the cabinet. Turn cabinet on; and
wait approximately 45 minutes. Open the door and check inside
thermometer temperature. If recalibration is required, pry the plastic
cover off the dial body and with a small flat blade screwdriver insert
into the pointer as shown. Carefully turn the pointer with your finger to
the correct setting. Be careful not to bend the pointer, it is very fragile.

DOORS

Never tip carts forward or open doors to drain water during or after
washing This can cause serious damage to hinges, doors, and latches

LATCHES

Check frequently to ensure that all door latches are secure Latches may
become "sticky" due to residue buildup from daily use and cleaning
Lubricate latches regularly with WD-40, silicone spray, graphite or other
commercial lubricants for stainless steel products Do not use oil

HINGES______________________________________________
Your cart doors and hinges have been factory aligne d with nylon
spacers to assure positive latching and smooth action Be sure to
replace these washers if they are removed when cleaning doors and
hinges If doors are removed for cleaning, we recommend that they
be put back on the same cart to assure the best possible alignment
and operation

CASTERS______________________________________________
Some casters are equipped with Zerk grease fitting so that they may be
easily lubricated with a grease gun Recommended lubrication is at least
once every six months Lu brication will be required more frequently if carts
are cleaned with a hot water or steam cleaning system Casters with
special bearings are recommended for frequent cart wash or steam
cleaning situations
