This manual has been prepared to help the owner preserve the life of his equipment.

CHECK FOR SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION DAMAGE

Before leaving the factory, each cabinet is thoroughly inspected and its performance is tested to assure
proper operating temperature.

At the moment you receive your refrigerator, check the crate thoroughly for signs of shipping damage. If
there is external damage, there could be internal damage as well, and uncrating should be done while
the carrier’s representative is present. In any case, equipment should be uncrated as soon as possible,
preferably within five days.

If concealed damage is found, contact the carrier immediately (and save all crating materials) and file
necessary freight claim with him. If damage is severe and obvious, write a brief description of the
evidence on the carrier’s delivery receipt and over the representative’s signature.

The manufacturer is not responsible for in-transit damage and the consignee must file any required
damage claims directly with the carrier.

CHECK FOR ACCESSORIES

Upon receiving your refrigerator, check that all components such as

enclosed.

Also, if you have ordered any additional accessories, check that they have been included.

lids and adjustable bin dividers are

TRANSPORTATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Measure all doorways and passages before moving the cabinet to its final location. If door and
passageways are too narrow to allow movement or installation of the cabinet, you may stand it in an
upright position, laying the bottom part on pads or thick blankets to avoid damage to the cabinet finish.

After the cabinet is set upright, check for oil leakage in the compressor compartment. If leakage is found,
call a qualified service person before attempting to operate the cooler. If no leakage is found, wait at least
½ hour before to putting the cooler into operation.

To move the cabinet, hold it by the inferior base.
Do not let it fall abruptly.

WHERE TO LOCATE THE CABINET

Locate equipment on a surface strong enough to support the combined weight of the cabinet and product
load.

The surface must be level and solid enough to prevent vibration of the motor.
Failure to level the cabinet could inhibit proper drainage.
Locate the refrigerator in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. Do not locate any cooler in direct sunlight,

near heating ducts, radiators, stoves, or other heat sources. Excessive heat will definitely affect the
performance of the refrigerator and may cause condensation. In winter, keep it in a place where the oil
inside the compressor will not freeze..

Cabinet should be installed at least 8” from the wall at the back to assure proper air circulation and motor
ventilation.

REMOVING THE CRATE AND SKID

Remove the crate carefully to prevent damage to the exterior surfaces of the cabinet. The cabinet is
fastened with screws to a wooden skid. It is not necessary to remove the wooden skid; but if desired,
follow these steps:

1. Elevate the cabinet and skid.

2. Use a 5/8” wrench to loosen the screws that tie down the skid to the base of the cabinet (one at
each corner) and remove the skid.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Model Type Compressor* Total amps.** Voltage*** Temperature Range

COR15BBCD Back bar cooler 1/4 HP 6.5 115-1-60 33°F - 40°F

115-1-60 voltage is standard.
*These specifications are commercial references.
**+/-0.5 ampere under normal operation before cycle starts.

***Minimum 109 volts/maximum 127 volts.

Be sure the electrical specifications of your refrigerator and your utility service are the same.
Check the line voltage to ensure the power supply does not fluctuate by more than 5% below or more

than 10% above rated voltage.
Each refrigerator should be connected to its own electrical circuit to avoid voltage fluctuations that could

damage the unit. To avoid an overload, make sure that no other electrically operated appliances are
connected to the circuit operating this cooler. Overloaded circuits are extremely hazardous.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from the power cord. This
could be a safety hazard under certain conditions.

Electrical installation must be done according to local electrical codes.

WARNING: Avoid the use of extension cords.

INSTALLATION

It is always good practice to have a competent refrigeration service man perform the start-up. It is also
advisable to obtain a service contract from this same individual to be assured of reliable and efficient
service in case of any future problems.

The installer must follow these steps:

1. Casters supplied with the cabinet must be installed and adjusted to make certain that the fixture is
level in all directions. This is especially important for proper door closure, correct water drainage,
and efficient operation of the evaporator. Also, locate the casters with brakes at the front of the
cabinet. See Casters Mounting Instructions.

2. Check for any refrigerant leaks. Occasionally leaks develop in transit from vibrations.

3. Check for vibrations or any objectionable noises.

4. Inspect the door for a proper seal.

5. Adjust the temperature control for the desired temperature. See Temperature Control Section.

6. Make the electrical hook up, check serial

See Electrical Installation recommendations included in this manual.

7. Allow the compressor to cycle three times (approximately 2 hours) and the cabinet to reach proper
temperature before loading product inside.

8. The fixture should be checked again after one (1) week of operation for proper performance.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Before leaving the plant, the refrigerator temperature control is set to operate with the required
temperature.

The temperature control may be adjusted to suit your needs. Turn the control clockwise for colder
operation and counterclockwise for warmer operation. Adjust control knob in increments of ¼ turn and
allow unit to operate for several hours before making any further adjustment. Once it is set there should
be no need to change it.

LOADING PRODUCT IN THE CABINET

Each cabinet is designed to perform within certain temperature and humidity requirements, based on
ambient factors.

and rating plate for the voltage and current requirements.

After the equipment is running, it should be operated long enough to bring the storage temperature down
to cycling of the condensing unit. On refrigerators three to four hours will usually be enough to allow the
temperature to drop.

The evaporator fans draw air up from the storage area, circulate it through the evaporator, and discharge
it up the rear wall of the cabinet.

If you need more than two minutes when loading, we recommend turning off the equipment so that cold
air is not expelled.

Do not leave the doors open.
