INSTALLATION MANUAL

COR23RRBM, COR49RRBMD

This manual contains instructions for installation, operation, and general maintenance of your
commercial refrigerator. It also includes a Troubleshooting chart to diagnose problems along with
corrective actions.

CHECK FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

Prior to leaving the factory, each cabinet is thoroughly inspected and performance tested up to 12 hours
to assure proper operating temperatures.

Check the crate thoroughly for signs of shipping damage. If external damage exists, internal
damage is also probable and uncrating should be done while the carrier’s representative is present. In
any case, the equipment should be uncrated as soon as possible, preferably within five (5) days.

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

If damage is severe and obvious, write a brief description of the evidence on the carrier’s delivery receipt
and above the carrier representative’s signature.

If hidden damage(s) is found, contact the carrier immediately (save all crating materials) and file the
necessary freight claim with the carrier.

CHECK FOR ACCESSORIES

Upon receiving the equipment, check that the shelves are inside the freezer, including the four clips or
supports for each shelf.

REMOVE THE CRATE AND SKID

Remove the crate carefully to prevent damage to the exterior surfaces of the cabinet. The cabinet is bolted to a
wooden skid with four hex-head bolts. After the skid is removed, always use a dolly to move the cabinet to
prevent damage to the cabinet bottom or the floor.

WHERE TO LOCATE THE CABINET

1. Place the unit on a surface that is solid enough to prevent vibration and strong enough to support
the combined weight of the cabinet and product load. Guideline: Estimate 35 pounds per cubic foot
of storage space.

2. Cabinets should never be placed in front of windows or glass doors in direct sunlight. If a cabinet is
located near a window or glass door, provide an adequate shade to block the sun’s rays.

3. Ambient temperature must be between 59° and 95° F. Low ambient temperatures below 50° are as
harmful as high ambient temperatures. Extreme temperatures will definitely affect the performance
of the cabinet.

4. Leveling legs are optional and are provided on some cabinets. Level the cabinet by using the
adjustable portion of the leveling legs as needed. Failure to properly level the cabinet could hinder
proper drainage and door operation. If the floor is extremely uneven, it may be necessary to shim
the corners with thin sheets of metal. (Shims may also be used when optional casters have been
included.)

5. Clearance: Leave at least 8” between the back of the cabinet and the wall to provide adequate air
circulation of the unit compartment.
