Congratulations on your purchase of Continental Refrigerator
superior foodservice equipment! When your shipment arrives,
thoroughly examine the packaging for any punctures, dents, or
signs of rough handling. It is in your best interest to partially
remove or open the shipping container in order to examine the
contents for any missing accessories, or concealed damage
which may have occurred during shipment. If the cabinet is
damaged, it must be noted on the carrier’s delivery slip or bill
of lading (see “Filing a Damage Claim” under “Warranty”
section).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND
IMPORTANT OPERATING FACTS
This manual has been compiled to aid in the installation, operation and maintenance of your new equipment. Please take the
time to read it and familiarize yourself with your equipment and
its operation, to enjoy optimum performance.
Continental Refrigerator offers a variety of accessories for your
model (see “Optional Accessories” section towards the back
of this manual or contact your dealer for more information).
SERIAL DATA TAG
A serialized data tag is permanently attached to the inside righthand wall of your unit. (see Figure 1). In addition to identifying
the specific product, this label provides important information
regarding electrical requirements and refrigeration charge, as
well as agency listings and factory contacts.
FIGURE 1: Data Tag
IMPORTANT NOTE: The model and serial number should
be noted on the front cover of this manual, in the spaces
provided. If parts or service are ever needed for your unit,
this information will be required to verify warranty status
and to properly identify any parts that may be needed.
All cabinets must be given sufficient time to reach normal
operating temperature before placing any food inside cabinet
or pans (if equipped). For refrigerators, approximately 1 hour
of operation is required to lower the cabinet and pan temperature to 40°F (4°C). During pull-down of open top models, pans
should be in place and top lid should be kept closed. Freezers
require approximately 2 hours of operation to lower the cabinet
temperature to 0°F (-18°C) (see “Operation” section for further information).
Prior to factory shipping, all products are performance-run
tested for a minimum of 12 hours providing a highly sophisticated temperature recording exclusive to each individual
cabinet. This recording is supplied within this manual packet. A
final evaluation, including analysis of cabinet performance, leak
check, vibration, noise level and visual examination is made by a
qualified quality control team to assure a superior product. The
carrier signs to this effect when they accept the product for shipping. To insure the maximum in safety and sanitation, all models
are listed under the applicable of Underwriters Laboratories and
National Sanitation Foundation standards.
UNCRATING YOUR NEW MODEL
The shipping container should remain on your cabinet to protect against dents or scratches while transporting to the actual
set-up location. Remove the shipping container only at the last
possible moment by using a pry bar to take out all the staples
from around the bottom of the crate. Slide the cardboard carton
up and off the unit, being careful not to rub against the cabinet.
Remove any accessories or boxes on the skid or in the cabinet.
Four (4) bolts secure the cabinet to the wooden skid. The bolts
are located at each end on the underside of the skid. In order to
remove these bolts, tilt the cabinet backwards and place wooden
blocks at each end in order to hold it in its tilted position. Using
a ¾” socket or open end wrench, remove the bolts and carefully
slide the cabinet off of the skid. After skid removal, the cabinet
should never be moved without dollies or rollers to avoid damage to the cabinet bottom or floor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not under any circumstances, lay
your new model on its front or sides. For a brief period
of time, you may lay the cabinet on its back, but only
when its properly blocked so as not to crush the louvered
venting panel and also to allow provision for your hands,
in order to set it in its upright position without damaging
the cabinet. Do not plug in and operate model for at
least three (3) hours after cabinet is set upright from
being on its back as this can damage the compressor.
INSTALLATION AND LOCATION
Before moving the cabinet to its final point of installation, measure all doorways or passages to assure clearance. If additional
clearance is needed, you can remove the cabinet doors (see “Removal of Doors and Door Adjustment”) and lids (when
equipped) (see “Removing Lid and Hood”).
VENTILATION
The final location site of your air cooled refrigerator or freezer
must provide a large quantity of cool, clean air. All refrigeration
systems operate most efficiently and trouble-free with cool,
dry air circulation. Avoid locations near heat and moisture
generating equipment including ovens, cooking ranges, fryers,
dishwashers, steam kettles, etc., or in direct sunlight (where
temperatures can exceed 100°F). Do not select a location in an
unheated room or area where temperatures may drop below
55°F. Air supply to the condensing unit is equally importantRestricting the air places an excessive heat load on the condensing unit and adversely effect its operation.
NOTE: Heat-generating equipment (griddles, broilers,
toasters, etc.) should have a minimum 4” clearance
underneath, to the top of your refrigerated cabinet.
Temperature at cabinet surface should not exceed 100F,
or damage can occur to your cabinet which is not covered
under warranty. If needed, a heat shield must be used to
protect your cabinet.
For optimum performance, all models (except for Undercounters
and Front Breathing cabinets) should be installed on casters or
legs (see “Installing Casters” or Installing Legs”) with a minimum 3” clearance on each side and the back of the cabinet (see Figure 2). If any of the above conditions can not be achieved, the
installer should provide special venting or air supply ducts, or a
Front-Breather Kit (see “Optional Accessories”) can be ordered
by contacting the factory.
Undercounter and Front Breathing models do not require any
clearance around the the sides or back of the cabinet, since they
take in and exhaust air under the cabinet and through the front
grill, under the door. The air flow under the cabinet and through
the front grill cannot be restricted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance, your
cabinet should be located where an unrestricted air supply can circulate underneath and behind the cabinet. Do not obstruct the grill in the rear of the cabinet in any way,
and never place or store anything inside the compressor
compartment. These rules are essential for maximum
cooling capacity and long life of your unit.
FIGURE 2: Minimum Clearance Dimensions for Optimum Conditions (Except for Undercounter & Front Breathing Models)
The floor at the final location site must be level, free of vibration
and strong enough to support the total combined weights of
your new model plus the maximum product load which might
be placed into it. Keep in mind that all the weight is concentrated
at the caster or leg locations. To estimate the possible product
weight, assume that each cubic foot of storage space weighs
approximately 35 pounds. Multiply 35 pounds by the amount of
cubic feet in the cabinet to obtain the product load weight.
For example, a 20 cubic foot refrigerator can hold approximately
700 pounds of product (35 x 20). Assuming the cabinet itself
weighs 300 pounds, the total combined weight of cabinet and
product is approximately 1000 pounds. Therefore, the floor in
this example must be able to support up to 1000 pounds.
NOTE: Any equipment placed on your cabinet must be
included in the floor load circulation. Do NOT overload
the top of your cabinet by placing extremely heavy equipment on it, or damage can occur, which is NOT covered
under Warranty. Griddle Stand models are designed to
support equipment such as griddles or broilers. Consult
the factory for information on the weight load capacity
for your specific cabinet.
CASTER SUPPORT PLATES (Griddle Stands)
For maximum weight capacity, all Griddle Stand models are
shipped with caster support plates, packed inside the accessory
carton of your cabinet (see “Mounting Caster Support Plates” under the “Optional Accessories” section) of this manual for
more information.
FIGURE 3: Installing Casters
FIGURE 3A: Casters Must Be Tight to Cabinet Bottom
INSTALLING CASTERS AND LEVELING
If your new unit is supplied with swivel casters, they will be
packed in the accessory box that came with your cabinet.
Casters should be installed only when the cabinet is close to
it’s final installation site. To install casters on your new model,
place wooden blocks along the back, at each end. Tilt the cabinet back, using the wood blocks to help hold the cabinet in its
tilted position. Locate the large threaded holes on the bottom
of the cabinet and screw the threaded caster studs into the
mounting holes, closest to the front of the unit. Repeat this
procedure by tilting the cabinet in the opposite direction and
installing the remaining casters. Make sure the casters are
tightened extremely well (see Figure 3 & 3A). If the casters are
not installed tightly, the cabinet will be unstable and may sway
or rock, which can damage the cabinet.
If the height of a caster needs to be raised, shims must be
installed under the casters which need leveling. Extra large
washers, available at most hardware or furniture stores, can be
used to shim casters, or contact the factory for caster shims.
Do not level casters by unscrewing them and leaving
them loose. This will damage the cabinet and threaded
holes, voiding your warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is extremely important that your
cabinet is perfectly level for proper operation. If it is not
level, the following adverse conditions may occur:
1. The door(s) will not be properly aligned and
consequently will not provide a good seal.
2. Your unit may run excessively.
3. An excessive amount of ice will accumulate inside
the cabinet, around the door opening(s) and on the
finned evaporator coil. If allowed to continue, ice will
eventually block the coil and the unit will fail. This
can result in the loss of all food stored in the cabinet.
4. Defrost water will fail to drain properly and will
overflow the evaporator coil drain pan and into the
cabinet of both refrigerator and freezer models.

INSTALLING LEGS AND LEVELING
If your new unit is supplied with adjustable legs Legs, they will
be packed in the accessory carton in the cabinet. Your cabinet
will have either four (4) or (6) threaded mounting holes on the
bottom of the cabinet (see Figure 4). In order to install the legs,
carefully tip the cabinet back, adding four (4) 2” wood blocks
underneath, and simply screw the threaded leg studs into the
case bottom front leg holes. Repeat this procedure by tilting the
cabinet in the opposite direction and install the remaining legs.
Make sure the legs are tightened extremely well or the entire
model will sway or rock with each opening or closing of the
doors, possibly causing damage to the case bottom. This procedure should be performed close to the final installation site and
allow access to the rear of the cabinet for condensate evaporator installation (see “Installing Condensate Evaporator” under “Installation and Location” section).
To assure your cabinet is level, all legs are equipped with bullettype leveling bolts. These bolts can be turned by hand or by
wrench, clockwise or counterclockwise to level the cabinet.
FIGURE 4: Leg Installation
CONDENSATE REMOVAL
No floor drains or plumbing connections are required since
all models use an automatic condensate water evaporating
system (see Figure 5, 5A & 5B). All models utilize a unique
hot air condensate water evaporating system which is completely self-contained and no further assembly or maintenance
is required. In some adverse conditions such as high ambient
temperature, high humidity, extremely heavy usage, frequent
loading for prolonged periods of time, or heavy pan loading,
the amount of condensate water generated could overflow the
pan. If this occurs, the plastic drain tube from the cabinet can
be diverted directly to a floor drain, bypassing the condensate
pan. Alternatively, an optional electric condensate vaporizer may
be purchased as an accessory. An electric condensate vaporizer
is also supplied with all remote models. To install the optional
condensate vaporizer, follow the steps for (“Installing Electric
Condensate Vaporizer” in the “Optional Accessories” section) towards the back of this manual.

REMOVAL OF DOORS
During installation, it may become necessary to remove the
cabinet doors to facilitate passage through narrow doorways
or hallways. Depending on the age of your cabinet, the springloaded hinge cartridge is located either on the top or the bottom
of the door. To remove a door, verify the location of the springloaded cartridge (see Figure 6). Swing the door to the open
position (90°) and remove the mounting screws securing the
the hinge cartridge bracket to the cabinet (either above or below
the door).
CAUTION: THE HINGE CARTRIDGE IS SPRING LOADED
AND MAY SNAP TOWARDS THE DOOR WHEN THE
MOUNTING SCREWS ARE REMOVED. BE SURE
TO HOLD DOOR FULLY OPEN BEFORE REMOVING
MOUNTING SCREWS.
For doors with the spring cartridge on the bottom: after removing the bracket mounting screws below the door, carefully lower
the door straight down, and free of the pivot pin bracket above
the door. (For doors with the spring cartridge on top: after
removing the bracket mounting screws above the door, carefully
lift the door straight up, and off the pivot pin bracket below the
door).

FIGURE 7: Hinge Adjustment
If the hinge does not work as described, follow these steps:
1. Using the hinge upside down as a wrench, turn the
mechanism in the door 180° in either direction. The
mechanism should snap to a null point.
2. Remount the hinge as shown in Figure 6.
3. Repeat the test procedure as described above until the
hinge snaps back when it is moved from the open-door
position towards the closed-door position.

MOUNTING SELF-CLOSING HINGE MECHANISM
(For Doors with Hinge Cartridge on Bottom)
For proper operation of the self-closing doors on all models,
the hinge mechanism must be mounted to apply tension in
the proper direction (see Figure 8). When the hinge is moved
to the open-door position, it should be tension-free. However,
when the hinge is moved back into the closed position, it should
snap back.
CAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN CHECKING THE
SPRING LOADING AS THE HINGE COULD SNAP BACK
ON FINGERS.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
OF HINGE MECHANISM
To remove the hinge mechanism from the door, remove the door
from the cabinet as explained previously. As shown in Figure 8,
remove the hinge plate from the hinge mechanism by removing
the hinge pin screw. Also remove the horseshoe spring. Reinstall
the hinge pin screw only partially leaving about 1/8” of exposed
screw threads. Now, the hinge mechanism mounting screws
can be removed thus allowing the mechanism to be removed by
pulling on the hinge pin screw. If the mechanism does not readily slide out of the door, slide a claw hammer or forked prybar
under the hinge pin screw head and using a block of wood for
leverage, lift the entire mechanism out of the door. To install the
new hinge mechanism, reverse the above procedure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The doors are field reversible, but different hinge brackets are required. HAVE YOUR
MODEL SERIAL NUMBER READY AND CONTACT THE
FACTORY FOR THE PARTS NEEDED FOR YOUR UNIT.
Detach the door and remove the hinge mechanism, as previously described. Remove the hinge from the cabinet by loosening
the (2) mounting screws. Remove the plug button and bushing
from the door. A flat-blade screwdriver or putty knife may be
used to carefully pry them out, if required.
To re-assemble the reverse-hinged door, select the proper
“opposite-hand” top and bottom hinge brackets and cartridge
insert (see Figure 6 for parts identification). Follow the steps
above, in reverse order.
REMOVAL OF DRAWERS
AND DRAWER ADJUSTMENTS
To remove the drawers from the cabinet, slide each drawer
out until it stops. Unhook the stop clip at the front of the left
and right-hand drawer slide (see Figure 9) by pushing the clip
forward and pressing down on the top back edge as shown.
Lift the drawer slightly as you pull it the rest of the way out.
The center member, with the wheels attached, will remain in
the cabinet. To remove a drawer center member for cleaning or
maintenance, pull it out and push up on the release lever at the
back, as shown.
To install a drawer, identify the correct parts and orient the
center members so the plastic clips are in the front and at the
top. Insert one of the center members into the front of the
correct cabinet member (which is permanently attached to the
inside of the cabinet) and slide it in, until it stops. Push up on
the release lever (located toward the rear and top of the center
member) to allow the center member roll the rest of the way into
the cabinet member, in the “drawer closed” position. Repeat
for the opposite side center member. Pull each center member
out a few inches, press down on the rear of each stop clip, and
pull forward so the hook on the front of the clip rotates up, into
the “unlocked” position. Lift the drawer body into place, resting
the drawer members (the channels welded to the sides of the
drawers) on the front wheels of the center member, and slide
the drawer into the cabinet. Once the drawer goes in all the way
and slides smoothly, open it enough to access the stop clips.
Lift the back of each clip and push in at the front, so the hook
portion snaps into the “locked” position. The drawers are now
secured, so they cannot accidentally be lifted out of the cabinet.
Check that the drawer is properly aligned, rolls smoothly and the
drawer gasket seals firmly.
If the drawer fronts needs adjustment (once all drawers are
installed and closed), loosen the five screws that hold the drawer
front to the drawer body. Move the drawer front into position
desired and re-tighten all screws.
FIGURE 9: Drawer Slide
REMOVING LID AND HOOD
(Pizza Prep and Sandwich Top Units Only)
To remove the lid covering the food pan area (see Figure 10),
lift it 1/2 way up and carefully push in on the left end at the bottom corner, so the pivot pin comes out of the mating hole in the
hood. Swing the end of the lid forward, so it clears the end of
the hood. Slide the entire lid to the left, so the pivot pin on the
opposite end is free from the hood. If you have an insulated lid,
to take out the liner and insulation, remove the screws along the
back edge, let the back of the liner drop down and rotate it, so
the front edge of the liner disengages from the front edge of the
lid. To remove the hood, take out the screws located inside each
end and along the back edge.
To remove the lid covering the food pans on Pizza Prep models
(see Figure 10A) rotate the lid 1/2 way and lift IT forward and
up, so the Hinge Pins disengage from the Hinge Bracket. If you
have an insulated lid, see disassembly instructions above.
Prior to start-up and before placing any product inside of your
new model, the interior of the cabinet should be thoroughly
cleaned. Washing with a mild soap and warm water solution
is recommended for cleaning the aluminum and stainless steel
surfaces of your cabinet. This should be followed by cleaning
with a baking soda solution (three (3) tablespoons of baking
soda to each quart of warm water). Rinse thoroughly with clear
water and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never use harsh detergents, cleaners, scouring powders or chemicals when cleaning your
model. Failure to dry the interior surfaces after cleaning
may result in a streaking or staining of the metal.
Complete cleaning procedures and precautions are listed in the
(“Periodic Cleaning Procedure” under the “Maintenance”).
START-UP PROCEDURE
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To insure proper operation, your new model must be connected
to an individual circuit that can supply the full voltage as stated
on the cabinet serial data plate. For correct voltage, power draw,
and wire accommodations, check the data on the serial data plate
located on the inner right wall of your new model. Verify that this
information exactly matches the electrical characteristics at the
installation location. An electrical wiring diagram, located on the
inside compressor compartment rear, next to the electrical console box, should also be consulted during connection. For reference, a copy of each electrical wiring diagram is located towards
the back of this manual (see“Wiring Diagrams” section).
10
IMPORTANT NOTE: The condensing unit supplied with
all self-contained models is designed to operate within a
range of +/-10% of the voltage indicated on the cabinet
serial data plate. Full voltage of the correct rating, on an
isolated line, not affected by the operation of other electrical appliances, must be available to the refrigeration unit
at all times. Burnout of the compressor due to exceeding
high or low voltage limits is easily detected and will void
the factory warranty.
