RECEIVING YOUR NEW MODEL

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.

FLOOR LOADS

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).

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.

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.

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.

INITIAL CLEANING PROCEDURE

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.

OPERATIONS MANUAL

REFRIGERATED BASES, PIZZA PREP TABLES & GRIDDLE STANDS

115 VOLT, 60 HZ, 1 PHASE CONNECTION

All 115 volt models are provided with
a factory installed, UL approved power
cord and polarized plug. To insure proper
operation, this equipment must be plugged
into a NEMA 5-15r compatible, grounded
receptacle that can supply the full voltage
as stated on the serial data plate.

Some 115 volt models (including CPA118) require 20 amp sup­ply power and must be plugged into a NEMA 5-20R receptacle.

WARNING: ANY ALTERATIONS TO THIS CORD AND
PLUG COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD AND
WILL VOID THE FACTORY WARRANTY.

115/208-230 VOLT, 60 HZ, 1 PHASE CONNECTION

All 115/208-230 volt models are provided with three (3) sup­ply wires, which exit the electrical box located in the machine
compartment rear, next to the compressor. The cabinet circuitry
is 115 volts and the condensing unit operates on 208-230 volts.
A permanently connected, 3-wire (plus ground) power supply is
required, consisting of (2) hot conductors and (1) neutral wire,
plus (1) ground wire. The supply leads must be connected to
the appropriate leads from the cabinet and the supply ground
wire must be attached to the electrical box with a ground lug
to provide proper grounding of the metal cabinet and chassis.
All wiring and connections should only be made by a qualified
electrician and must conform to all local electrical codes.

SPECIAL VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS

When models are ordered from the factory with special, optional
voltages, connections should be made as required on the electri­cal wiring diagram provided on the inside compressor compart­ment rear next to the electrical console box.

START-UP CHECKLIST

After your model has been installed, leveled, cleaned, and elec­trically connected in accordance with this manual, please take
the time before start-up to observe the following precautions to
assure trouble free operation:

1. Check that all exposed refrigeration lines are free of kinks.

2. Check the condenser fan and evaporator fans are free to
rotate without any obstructions.

3. Make sure that the cabinet is properly leveled (see
“Leveling” under “Installation and Location” section).

The system should run smoothly and quietly in accordance
with generally accepted commercial standards. If any unusual
noises are heard, turn the unit off immediately and check for any
obstructions of the condenser or evaporator fans. Fan motors,
fan blades, or fan housings can be jarred out of position through
rough handling in transit or during installation.

CAUTION: IF UNIT IS UNPLUGGED OR DISCONNECTED
FOR ANY REASON, ALLOW 5-6 MINUTES BEFORE
TURNING THE UNIT BACK ON TO ALLOW THE SYSTEM
TO EQUALIZE. DISREGARDING THIS PROCEDURE
COULD CAUSE AN OVERLOAD AND PREVENT THE UNIT
FROM OPERATING.

REMOTE APPLICATIONS

All models are available for purchase as remote models in which
case the condensing unit is purchased separately and installed
at the time of installation. All remote models are equipped with
an expansion valve located within the evaporator coil housing,
and both liquid and suction lines stubbed and extending out
from the cabinet rear behind the rear cover. Installation of the
refrigeration accessories, condensing unit, and electrical hook­up should be performed by qualified refrigeration personnel of
a competent refrigeration company only (see “Remote Set-Up

and Installation Guidelines” under “Optional Accessories”).

OPERATION

All cabinets must be given sufficient time to reach normal oper­ating temperature before placing any product inside cabinet.
Refrigerators are designed to maintain an ideal cabinet tem­perature of 38° to 40°F (3.3° to 4.4°C), approximately 1 hour
of operation is required to reach this temperature. During pull­down of open top models, pans should be in place and top lid
should be kept closed. Freezers are designed to maintain an ideal
cabinet temperature of -4° to 0°F (-20° to -18°C), approximately
2 hours of operation are required to reach this temperature.

THERMOMETER AND ADJUSTMENT

CPA, CPT and CRB models are provided standard with a hang­ing stem-type thermometer located inside the cabinet, on the
coil housing cover (see Figure 11 & 11A). The thermometer is
maintenance-free and needs no further calibration. If your cabi­net has a dial or digital thermometer mounted on the grill, see
the “Optional Accesories” section of this manual for additional
information.

OPERATIONS MANUAL

11

REFRIGERATED BASES, PIZZA PREP TABLES & GRIDDLE STANDS

Griddle Stand models are provided standard with a dial ther­mometer mounted on the front grill (see Figure 11B) so the
temperature inside the cabinet can be observed without opening
the doors or drawers. The thermometer has a round face with
an analog temperature scale in Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C),
as well as a color band with blue (safe) and red (danger) zones.
If your dial thermometer needs adjustment, or if your cabinet
has a digital thermometer, see “Optional Accesories” section
of this manual for additional information.

All adjustable thermometers are pre-calibrated at the factory, to
accurately show the cabinet temperature. While in transit, your
cabinet will be subjected to more jarring and vibration than at
any other time in its life and the thermometer may require some
adjustment at start-up. During periods of heavy use, when the
cabinet doors are opened repeatedly or remain open for an
extended period of time, the temperature inside your cabinet
may temporarily exceed the “safe” temperature indicated on the
display. This is normal, as warm air outside the cabinet mixes
with the cold air inside the cabinet, or if warm product is loaded
into the cabinet. If your thermometer continues to show a tem­perature above the “safe” zone for your refrigerator or freezer,
close the doors and make sure they seal tight. Keep the doors
closed for at least 30 minutes and check the display again. If it
still indicates high temperature, see “Optional Accesories” sec­tion of this manual for additional information.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM AND ADJUSTMENT

All self-contained refrigerators are designed and factory set to
maintain an average cabinet temperature of 38° to 40°F (3.3°
to 4.4°C). The temperature control on CPA and CRB models is
accessible inside of the refrigerated compartment, on the right
back wall next to the evaporator coil (see Figure 11 & 11A). On
Griddle Stand models, the control is located behind the front
grill, on the side wall of the machine compartment (see Figure
11B). If an adjustment is necessary to maintain temperature
within the range noted above, place a screwdriver into the
slotted knob on the temperature control and turn clockwise no
more than 1/4 turn for a colder cabinet temperature or counter­clockwise for a warmer cabinet temperature. Allow the cabinet
to stabilize for at least 30 minutes and recheck the temperature.
Further adjustments out of the factory design temperature range
should only be made by a qualified refrigeration mechanic.

CPT TEMPERATURE CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS

PIZZA PREP TABLE OPERATION

Pizza prep tables are designed and factory set to maintain an
average cabinet and pan rail temperature of 38°F. In order to
maintain product temperatures in the raised rail within NSF
parameters of 33-41°F, your pizza prep table is equipped with a
coldwall rail. This rail must maintain a freezing temperature to
maintain the product temperature in the pans.

PIZZA RAIL SYSTEM SWITCH

A rail “on-off” switch is located on the front grill so that the
refrigeration can be turned “on” to the rail during use and shut
“off” at the end of the day to save energy and defrost any ice
build up in the rail. Product must be removed from the rail in the
evening and stored in the refrigerated base. The rail may need
to be turned “off” for periodic defrosting during the day if frost
build up becomes excessive. Product must not be left in the rail
during the defrosting period.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Sandwich and pizza prep tables are
not intended for overnight product storage in the pan
rail.

PIZZA PREP TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT -
BOTTOM STORAGE COMPARTMENT

If an adjustment is necessary to maintain the average cabinet
temperature of 38°F, place a screwdriver into the slotted knob
on the temperature control and turn clockwise no more than 1/4
turn for a colder cabinet temperature, or counterclockwise for a
warmer cabinet temperature. Allow the cabinet to stabilize for at
least 30 minutes and recheck the temperature. Further adjust­ments out of the factory design temperature range can only be
made by a qualified refrigeration mechanic.

PIZZA PREP TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT - COLDWALL RAIL

A low pressure control, located behind the front grill, cycles the
compressor and controls the temperature of the pan rail. The
recommended settings for this control are:

Cut in = 45# (rh side) or if the top Cut in = 55# (rh side)
Differential = 20# (lh side) rail is too cold Differential = 15# (lh side)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Turning a thermostat fully counter­clockwise turns the refrigeration compressor “off.”

OPERATIONS MANUAL

NOTE: All CPT cold-wall pizza prep models utilize 404A
refrigerant. Consult the factory before attempting to make
any adjustments to the pressure control, out of the above
design pressure range.

All undercounter refrigerators and freezers have an easily acces­sible and serviceable, performance-rated, full length, extra large
plasticized fin coil for extended life, with a uniquely directed air
flow distribution that keeps product at uniformly constant tem­peratures (see Figure 11 & 11A).

FIGURE 11: CPT/CRB Components (Front View)

FIGURE 11A: CPA Components (Front View)

FIGURE 11B: Griddle Stand Components (Front View)

Shown with top and drawers removed for clarity

IMPORTANT NOTE: All refrigerators are designed with an
automatic, “off-cycle” defrost system which means that
defrosting occurs automatically when the compressor is
not operating during an off-cycle. Do not set the thermo­stat too cold where the cabinet temperature will fall below
35°F (1.7°C) because the evaporator will become blocked
by ice since the compressor off-cycle will be considerably
shortened. This will result in loss of product stored within
the cabinet and require service to defrost the evaporator
and re-adjust the thermostat.

FREEZER SYSTEM AND ADJUSTMENT

(CFB and CUFB Models)
All self-contained freezers are factory set to maintain an aver­age cabinet temperature of -4° to 0°F (-20° to -18°C). They are
designed for the purpose of holding pre-frozen product and
although they are capable of freezing small quantities of fresh
product, they are not designed to be blast chillers or ice-cream
freezers. Do not attempt to freeze bulk quantities of fresh food
or ice-cream. The temperature control is accessible inside of
the cabinet product compartment, on the right back wall next
to the evaporator coil (see Figure 11 for thermostat location).
If an adjustment is necessary to maintain the above temperature
range only, place a screwdriver into the thermostat slot and turn
clockwise for a colder cabinet temperature or counterclockwise
for a warmer cabinet temperature. Further adjustments out of
the factory design temperature range must be made by a quali­fied refrigeration mechanic only.

DEFROST OPERATION (CFB & CUFB Models)
All freezer models are equipped with an automatic, electric
defrost system consisting of electric evaporator coil and drain
pan heaters, a defrost time clock and an automatic defrost limit
switch. The defrost system is time initiated by the time clock and
temperature terminated by the automatic limit switch. The time
clock is preset for (3) defrost periods per day at 8-hour intervals
with fail safe cut-off time of 20 minutes. These settings are not
adjustable. The defrost time clock on CFB and CUFB freezer
models is located in the rear of the machine compartment,
behind the back cover panel. (see Figure 5).

DEFROST OPERATION (CPA & Griddle Stand Models)
CPA’s and Griddle Stands utilize a time initiated “off-cycle”
defrost, to ensure consistent performance, even under heavy
usage. The timer on CPA models is located in the front of the
machine compartment, behind the front grill (see Figure 11A).

If desired, the start time for a defrost cycle can be adjusted by
turning the knob on the defrost timer clockwise until defrost
cycle begins (compressor and all fans will terminate). Defrost
will begin at this same time every day at 8-hour intervals. For
example, if an 8:00 am defrost is desired, at 8:00 am turn the
timer knob to initiate defrost. A defrost cycle will start every day
at 8:00 am, 4:00 pm, 12:00 am. If there is a loss of power to the
cabinet, the defrost timer will have to be reset to maintain the
same defrost cycle times.

INTERIOR ACCESSORIES

Your new unit is shipped with (1) shelf per section and (4) pilas­ter clips for each shelf.

SHELVING INSTALLATION

Pilaster strips which support the shelving are secured to the
cabinet walls with special pilaster screws which allow the strips
to be readily removed for cleaning without the use of tools. Shelf
clips are easily installed by inserting them into the pilasters at
the desired shelf location and shelf installation is as simple as
placing the shelf on the (see Figure 12).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

THE FOLLOWING SAFEGUARDS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
WHEN OPERATING ANY APPLIANCES: DISCONNECT
THE POWER CORD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TOWORK
ON OR CLEAN EQUIPMENT. DISCONNECT POWER THE
APPLIANCE WILL BE IDLE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF
TIME. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY COVERS OR
PARTS YOURSELF, AS THIS CAN EXPOSE DANGEROUS,
HIGH VOLTAGE WIRING. SERVICE SHOULD ONLY
BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICAIN.
ALWAYS ROUTE POWER CORDS AWAY FROM AREAS
WHERE THEY CAN BE WALKED ON OR DAMAGED BY
OTHER EQUIPMENT. NEVER USE EXTENSION CORDS
OR PLUG MORE THAN ONE APPLIANCE INTO THE
SAME CIRCUIT. THIS CAN OVERLOAD THE POWER
SUPPLY, WHICH CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK
OR FIRE. YOUR APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A
POLARIZED, GROUNDED POWER PLUG. NEVER
ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE GROUND POST OR USE
A NON-POLARIZED ADAPTER, WITHOUT PROPERLY
GROUNDING THE EQUIPMENT. IF A REPLACEMENT
PART IS REQUIRED, ALWAYS INSIST ON FACTORY
AUTHORIZED COMPONENTS

PERIODIC CLEANING PROCEDURE

It is best to clean your refrigerator or freezer when the product
load in your cabinet is as its lowest level. To clean the interior or
exterior cabinet surfaces, follow these procedures:

1. Disconnect your model from its power supply and remove
all product from inside.

2. Open all doors and allow the cabinet to reach room temp-
erature. Remove all accessories (shelves, racks, pilasters,
clips, etc.) from inside, wash with a baking soda and warm
water solution, and rinse thoroughly with clear water. Dry
all accessories completely with a soft clean cloth.

3. Once the cabinet has reached room temperature, wash the
inside and outside with a solution of warm water and bak­ ing soda. For slightly more difficult cleanups, ammonia
or vinegar in warm water can be used. Rinse thoroughly
with clear water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Failure to
dry all surfaces completely may cause water stains or
streaking on the aluminum or stainless steel finish.

4. Return all accessories to their respective positions and
return electric supply power to the model.

PRECAUTIONS

NEVER USE HARSH DETERGENTS, CLEANERS,
SCOURING POWDERS, OR CHEMICALS WHEN
CLEANING YOUR UNIT. STRONG BLEACHES TEND TO
CORRODE MANY MATERIALS AND SHOULD NEVER
COME IN CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL. TINCTURE
OF IODINE OR IRON SHOULD NOT COME IN CONTACT
WITH STAINLESS STEEL. THESE SOLUTIONS, WHICH
CAUSE STAINLESS STEEL TO DISCOLOR, SHOULD
BE RINSED OFF IMMEDIATELY IF CONTACT OCCURS.
GRITTY, HARD ABRASIVES WILL MAR THE FINISH
OF STAINLESS STEEL AND ALUMINUM AND ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED.

GENERAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Performance of the air cooled condensing unit located inside
of the compressor machine compartment of your new model,
depends exclusively upon the amount of air passing through
the condenser fins. Your refrigerator or freezer will run more
efficiently, consume less current, and provide a maximum of
trouble-free service throughout its lifetime if the condenser is
kept clean and an adequate supply of clean, cool air is provided
at all times. Periodically (at least once a month) inspect the
condenser coil, which is located directly behind the front grill, to
check for debris or blockage (see Figure 11, 11A & 11B).

If the condenser coil is dirty or blocked, disconnect the cabinet
power supply and using a stiff brush, wipe away any dirt from
the condenser fins until the condenser is clear from any debris.
Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment may aid in
this cleaning process. After cleaning, restore electrical service
to your model.

CAUTION: CONDENSER FIN PLATES ARE MADE FROM
THIN METAL AND HAVE SHARP EDGES. ALWAYS
WEAR GLOVES. USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON
OR AROUND THE CONDENSING UNIT TO PREVENT
CUTS AND AVOID DAMAGING FINS, TUBING AND
OTHER COMPONENTS. FAILURE TO PROPERLY CLEAN
THE CONDENSER REGULARLY WILL CAUSE EXESSIVE
COMPRESSOR LOAD, REDUCING THE PERFORMANCE
AND EFFICIENCY OF YOUR UNIT. THIS CAN RESULT IN
PREMATURE FAILURE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

INSTALLING OVERSHELF OR DOUBLE-OVERSHELF

IMPORTANT NOTE: Installing an overshelf is a two-per-

son job. Due to the weight, size and height of the shelf, do
not attempt to mount it alone, as this can cause injury.

To mount an overshelf to your cabinet, a phillips-head screw­driver (or a screw gun with phillips bit) is required. Before
starting to assemble the overshelf, identify the following parts
provided: 1/4-20 screws, 10-32 screws, uprights, top shelf, and
bottom shelf (for double overshelves only). If applicable, deter­mine the height you want the bottom to be located.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are three pairs of holes pro­vided in the uprights, so the shelf can be installed at a
height of 19”, 21”, or 23” above the top of the cabinet.
This height will also determine the distance between the
bottom shelf and the top shelf (13”, 15”, or 17”).

screws on each end. Drive the screws until snug, but do not
tighten them completely. With one person supporting each end
of the top shelf, lift it into position above the uprights and lower
it down onto them. Secure the shelf, using two 10-32 screws on
each end, driving them snugly but not tightly. Check the align­ment of the shelves and tighten all the screws. Double check that
the shelves and uprights are secured rigidly.

FIGURE 13: Overshelf Installation

From the back of your cabinet, locate the two holes with threaded
inserts at each end of the Cabinet. (see Figure 13) Drive a 1/4­20 screw into each of the (4) threaded inserts, until the bottom
of the screw head is about 1/8” away from the threaded insert.
Position the uprights at the back of the cabinet. Noting that
there are two keyhole slots on one face of each upright, locate
the keyholes at the bottom, facing the screws you just installed
in the cabinet. Lift the upright and place the large portion of
the keyhole slots over the screw heads and then lower it on to
the screws. Insert a philips screwdriver through the clearance
holes, on the opposite side of the keyhole slots (in the rear of
the uprights). Tighten the screws just until the upright is snug
against the unit, but leave a little play for alignment. Repeat this
procedure for the other upright.

To install a double overshelf (for single overshelf, skip to the
next paragraph) locate the bottom shelf, which has a large hole
in each rear corner. With one person holding each end of the
shelf, lift it above the top of the uprights and align it so the large
holes in the rear of the shelf fit over the uprights. Carefully slide
the shelf down, until the small holes on back of the shelf line up
with the correct holes in the uprights, depending on the shelf
height desired. Attach the shelf to the uprights, using two 10-32

INSTALLING FRONT BREATHER KIT (CRB Models)

INSTALLING DRAWER CAGE

NOTE: These instructions assume that doors already on

the unit have been removed.

Using a flathead screwdriver, pry both vertical breaker covers
away from the primary breakers beneath them, being careful
not to damage the heater wires (see Figure 15). Carefully slide
the cage into the opening. The cage must be lifted above the
breaker covers in order to fit into the opening. The fit is tight, so
the straighter it’s pushed in, the easier it will be. Once the cage
is most of the way in, notice the fasteners which hold the cross
mullion in place between the cage sides. Some gentle persua­sion will probably be necessary to get these past the primary
breakers (hit the ends of the cross mullion with the heel of your
hand, or use a rubber mallet). With the cage in as far as it will
go, the notches at the bottom front should surround the breaker
corners, and the cage should be sitting flat on the interior floor
of the unit. The front face of the cross mullion should be flush
with the front face of the unit. You may need to tap the inside
face of the cross mullion in order to achieve this. This allows the
drawer gasket to seal smoothly around the drawer opening.

With the cage in place, sitting flat on the floor of the unit and
flush with the front, drill 1/8” pilot holes through each of the
four (4) front mounting holes, through the primary breakers, and
through the metal beneath them. Drive a sheet metal screw into
each of the front mounting holes, securing the front of the cage
to the inside front of the opening, as tightly as possible without
stripping the screw threads or head. Drive a sheet metal screw
through each of the four slots located in the rear of the cage and
into the interior rear of the unit.

18

OPERATIONS MANUAL

IMPORTANT NOTE: These screws should NOT be tight!
The purpose of these screws is not to secure the cage
to the unit, but to limit the side-to-side movement of the
rear of the cage.

Once the drawers are installed, the cage rear should be able
to find its own place so that the drawers can open and close
freely.

FIGURE 15: Drawer Cage

Locate the drawer slide center member, noting that there are
right-hand and left-hand center members with the clip in the
front and at the top. Insert the two top wheels into the upper
channel of the cabinet member (which is welded to the cage
sides), then slide the center member forward or backward until
the two bottom wheels align with (and slide into) the notches in
the bottom of the cabinet member.

Push the center member, which should now roll freely, back into
what will be, the “drawer closed” position. Please note that the

front of the clips should be able to move up and down freely
so that the slide center member can accept the drawer. If the

clip does not swing freely, place your finger on the rear of the
clip and pull forward until it snaps into the “unlocked” position
(roll the center member forward and out of the cabinet member
a few inches to do this).

To lift a drawer into place, rest the drawer members (the part of
the slide welded to the sides of the drawer) on the front wheels
of the center member, and slide the drawer into the unit (lifting
up a little as you slide the drawer in). Once the drawer is in prop­erly, open it enough to access the clips on the center member.
With the front of the clips in the down position, push them back
so they snap into place. This locks them so that the drawer can­not be lifted out accidentally. Repeat for the other drawer.

Locate a short piece of breaker cover and snap into place over
the exposed portion of the primary breaker, angling up into the
upper breaker corner, and then sliding downward so its bottom
edge sits against the top of the cage. Repeat for the other side.

Repeat the entire procedure for each additional opening requir­ing drawers.

NOTE: If the drawer front appears crooked (once all the
drawers are installed and closed), they can be adjusted
by loosening the five screws that hold the drawer front to
the drawer body, adjusting as necessary, and retightening
the screws.

MOUNTING CASTER SUPPORT PLATES

If the standard stem casters on a cabinet are not properly main­tained and tightened, or if the unit is excessively overloaded and
moved around, the threaded inserts in the bottom of the cabinet
can become stripped, twisted or collapsed. If this occurs and
the stem casters cannot be mounted securely, rigid caster sup­port plates can be fitted to provide the strength needed to safely
use your cabinet. Each caster support plate assembly is made
of heavy gauge galvanized steel, with (2) casters permanently
welded to it, for maximum rigidity. The plate has a series of
holes that will allow you to fasten the plate assembly to the bot­tom of the cabinet with sheet metal screws and bolts. Contact
the factory to obtain the correct parts for your model.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always wear proper work gloves and
use appropriate safety equipment. You may CAREFULLY
lay the cabinet on it’s back, but only FOR A BRIEF

PERIOD OF TIME. Caution must be taken to ensure you
DO NOT DAMAGE the louvered back panel, refrigeration

system components, or copper tubing located behind the
panel. The cabinet must be properly blocked, to allow
room to get your hands in to lift without damaging the
cabinet or crushing the vents on the back panel. DO NOT

PLUG-IN OR OPERATE THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
FOR AT LEAST THREE (3) HOURS AFTER THE UNIT HAS
BEEN RETURNING IT TO AN UPRIGHT POSITION, AS
THIS CAN DAMAGE THE COMPRESSOR.

To install caster support plate assemblies, you will need a 3/4”
open end wrench (or a large adjustable wrench), a drill with a
1/8” bit and a Phillips bit (or a Phillips-Head screwdriver) plus
work gloves. A 1/2-13 thread tap is also recommended, to repair
any damage to the threaded inserts in the cabinet. Unload all
product and carefully lay the cabinet on its back. Remove the old
stem casters by unscrewing them from the cabinet. If a caster or
threaded insert has been stripped or cross-threaded, it may be
necessary to use a wrench to loosen the caster.

The electric condensate vaporizer has a power cord with a 15
amp plug attached. To install the vaporizer on a CPA model, dis­connect the power by unplugging the cabinet power cord from
the supply. Remove the access panel from the back of the cabi­net (see Figure 17) and the drain pan in the machine compart­ment; set them aside. Align the mounting bracket as shown and
position it against the bottom rail, so the bracket is even with the
back of the cabinet and hangs below the machine compartment.
Using the slotted holes in the bracket as a template, mark and
drill (2) 1/8” pilot holes in the bottom rail. Mount the bracket to
the rail with (2) sheetmetal screws. Rotate the swivel caster to
ensure the bracket does not interfere with the caster wheel. Slide
the vaporizer onto the bracket and carefully place the end of the
plastic drain tube into the vaporizer pan. Make sure the tubing
is not blocked or kinked and that the end is located securely, so
any water running out of the tube will go into the pan. Remove
the grill at the front of the cabinet and route the vaporizer power
cord through to the front of the cabinet. Plug the cord into the
receptacle labeled “vaporizer” located on the corner post in the
front of the machine compartment. Secure any excess power
cord with a wire tie, so it is away from hot or moving parts and
does not fall into the pan or under the cabinet. Reattach the front
grill and the back access panel. Plug the cabinet power cord into
the power supply.

Using the small holes in the plate as a template, drill 1/8 pilot
holes in the bottom of the cabinet. (Note: drill only until you

penetrate the metal bottom of the cabinet. Do not continue
to drill into the insulation, or you may damage the cabinet.)

Secure the caster support plate assembly to the cabinet with a
sheet metal screw in each of the drilled holes. Tighten the 1/2”
bolts. Repeat these steps to attach the other plate assembly to
the opposite end of the cabinet.

Check that both plates are secure and that the casters turn
and swivel freely. Carefully lift the cabinet upright and double
check that the caster support plates are secure and the cabinet
is stable. Wait at least 3 hours before turning the refrigeration
system back on, and at least another 30 minutes for the cabinet
to come down to temperature and stabilize, before reloading
with product.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is extremely important to ensure
the condensate pan is plugged into the receptacle labeled
“vaporizer” and that the condensing unit is plugged into
the receptacle labeled “condensing unit.”

DIAL THERMOMETER AND CALIBRATION

Your NSF-approved dial thermometer has a remote sensing
bulb, located in the refrigerated compartment. The display fea­tures a large 2” diameter face, with any easy to read scale that
shows the internal cabinet temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) and
Celsius (°C). Blue (safe) and red (caution) color bands provide a
quick, visual indication of the temperature inside your refrigera­tor or freezer. The thermometer is pre-calibrated at the factory,
to accurately show the cabinet temperature.

To check the calibration of your thermometer, place a pre­calibrated temperature sensing device in the center of the
refrigerated compartment and keep the door closed for at least
10 minutes. The thermometer should
read the same temperature as the sens­ing device, within +/-2°F (+/- 1°C). If
it does not, use a small straight-blade
screwdriver to carefully pry the clear
lens cover from the thermometer body
as shown (see Photo A).

Use a small straight-blade screwdriver
to hold the center hub of stationary
and use your finger to carefully turn the
needle to the desired temperature, as
shown (see Photo B). Replace the lens
cover and recheck the calibration.

DIGITAL THERMOMETER AND CALIBRATION

Your NSF-approved digital thermometer has a remote sensing
bulb, with an FDA-approved coating, located in the refrigerated
compartment on the left-hand wall. The unit features a large,
easy to read, LED display that shows the internal cabinet tem­perature.

To check the calibration of your thermometer, place a pre­calibrated temperature sensing device in the center of the refrig­erated compartment and keep the door closed for at least 15
minutes. The digital thermometer display should read the same
temperature as the sensing device within +/-2°F (+/- 1°C).

If it does not, press the right, center section of the front display
(see Photo) twice. After the first press, the letters “CAL” will
appear on the screen (to show the unit is in calibration mode).
After the second press, the number of degrees (-25 to 25) that
the display offset is set for will appear. Once you see this, press
on the lower left corner of the front face to decrease the tem­perature displayed, or press on the upper left section to increase
the temperature displayed.

Press here for

calibration modePress here to increase temp.

Press here to decrease temp.

For example, if the sensing device in the cabinet reads 38° and
the thermometer display reads 40°, press on the lower left cor­ner twice so that “-2” appears on the display. After adjusting the
offset, press on the right center of the display again to exit cali­bration mode. Wait 10 to 15 seconds for the cabinet temperature
to be displayed and recheck the calibration.

NOTE: The buttons need to be pressed without delay
between actions. Contact the factory with any questions.

REMOTE SET-UP AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

All remote refrigerators and freezers are shipped with an expan­sion valve, thermostat and defrost timer (freezer only), installed
from the factory. The installer is responsible for connecting all
refrigerant lines, liquid line drier, sight glass, solenoid, head
pressure control, hi/low pressure safety, crankcase heater, con­densing unit and any other accessories as well as wiring. The
evaporator section has been factory leak checked with helium,
however; due to vibration in transit, the entire system must be
thoroughly leak checked after installation and prior to start-up.
The final leak inspection of the entire completed refrigeration
system and all of its components as well as start-up and the
operation of the refrigeration system is the sole responsibility
of the installer.

The CFC-Free refrigerant used in standard remote and self-con­tained models is R-134a for refrigerators and R-404a for freez­ers and CPT models. All compressors and systems designed
for these refrigerant utilize polyolester oil as their main lubri­cant, which absorbs moisture from the ambient surroundings
extremely fast and in much greater quantity than conventional
mineral oils. Since moisture levels greater than 100 PPM will
result in system corrosion and ultimate failure, it is imperative
that the compressor, components and entire system be kept
sealed.

OPERATIONS MANUAL

REFRIGERATED BASES, PIZZA PREP TABLES & GRIDDLE STANDS

All refrigerant lines and components must be clean, free of 1.
burrs and purged with nitrogen prior to and during brazing
or soldering connections. Nitrogen purging during braz­ing or soldering will eliminate carbon or foreign matter
contamination. Any system restrictions or contamination is
the responsibility of the installer.
Condensing unit or compressor shall not be left open to 2.
the atmosphere for more than five (5) minutes.
No refrigeration component, tubing or fitting shall be left 3.
open to the atmosphere for more than ½ hour without
being soldered, capped or plugged.
Each completed refrigeration system shall be purged with 4.
150psi of dry nitrogen for at least six (6) seconds, then
pressurized with at least 165psi of nitrogen for pressure
check (making sure to energize any solenoid valves to
assure access). Leak-check all joints, flare fittings and
valves and make sure there is no pressure drop within the
system.
System evacuation is of the utmost importance with NON-5.
CFC refrigerant systems. System must be evacuated to a
minimum of 200 microns. In addition, a vacuum decay
test is strongly recommended to assure there is not a
large pressure differential between the system and the
vacuum pump. System must be evacuated from both high
and low sides of the system using heavy duty vacuum
hoses.
Each system should be charged with the refrigerant type 6.
as specified on the cabinet data tag. This refrigerant type
should match the type listed on the condensing unit being
used. The refrigerant charge should be held to the mini­mum required for the satisfactory pull down and opera­tion. For an accurate indication of refrigerant charge, the
sight glass will show a full column of liquid.
The superheat reading taken 6” from the compressor suc-7.
tion valve should be 30° +/- 5°. Expansion valve adjust­ment may be necessary to achieve this superheat.
Installation of the electric condensate vaporizer is also 8.
the responsibility of the installer (see “Installing Electric

Condensate Vaporizer” under “optional Accessories”).

CAUTION: EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN
ACCESSING THE SYSTEM DURING INSTALLATION. DUE
TO THE COMPLEXITY OF REMOTE REFRIGERATION
SYSTEMS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR IMPROPER
INSTALLATION, ANY RESTRICTIONS, LEAKS, FAILED OR
DAMAGED COMPONENTS CAUSED BY CONTAMINANTS
ARE NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTINENTAL
REFRIGERATOR.
