CODES.

INTRODUCTION

This manual is a user’s guide that offers recommendations that go from the cabinet’s transportation to
daily use.

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

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 shelves, pans, and casters are
enclosed.

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

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 impede 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.

The back of the cabinet should be installed at least 8” from the wall to assure proper air circulation and
motor ventilation. Dissipation of heat away from the condensing unit on self-contained units is extremely
important; there must be free air movement for proper operation.

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. To remove the wooden skid, follow these steps:

1. Elevate the cabinet and skid.

2. Use a 3/4” wrench to loosen the screws that tie down the skid to the base of the cabinet (one at
each corner) and remove the skid.

3. Install the casters. See Casters Mounting Instructions.

CASTERS MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Raise the case far enough off the floor for caster installation.

2. Screw the caster stems into the holes provided on the cabinet bottom.

3. The two casters with brakes should be mounted on the front on the right and left hand ends.

4. Gently lower the case to the floor and push it into place.

5. After the case is in position, lock the two front casters with the brakes so that the case will not move.

6. Do not lean or tilt the cabinet in any direction when installing or moving it.

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.

Electrical installation must be done according to local electrical codes.
Be sure the electrical specifications of your refrigerator and your utility service are the same.
Check the line voltage to ensure the supply does not fluctuate by more than 5% below or more than 10%

above rated voltage.

Table 1:

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.

WARNING: Avoid the use of extension cords.
