Plumbing
Self-contained models are standard with a condensate evaporator. If,
for some reason, a unit does not have a condensate evaporator, or the
evaporator fails, the unit’s drain must have an outlet to an appropriate
drainage area or container.
Moisture collecting from improper drainage can create
a slippery surface on the floor and a hazard to
employees. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide
a container or outlet for drainage.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code
or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is connected to the
proper power source. A protected circuit of the correct voltage and
amperage must be run for con nec tion of the line cord, or permanent
connection to the unit.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the drain
pan will drain properly, the doors will line up with the frames properly,
and the cabinet will not be subject to undue strain.
Some models have casters for your convenience, for ease of cleaning
underneath and for mobility. It is important that the unit be installed
in a stable condition with the front casters locked before operating.
The power switch must be turned to OFF and the
unit disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service or maintenance functions.
Never operate the unit without the louvered panel in
place!

18600 and CTP-NB Series Service and Installation Manual
Product should be loaded into the unit with care.
Failure to heed these recommendations could result in
damage to the interior of the cabinet or the blower coil.
This unit is equipped with two ON/OFF switches located behind the
louvered machine compartment panel. The unit’s com pres sor and all
evaporator fans will begin op er at ing when the main power switch is
turned to the ON position. Tem per a ture ranges for the base are 36°F
to 40°F.
The switch labeled rail is for the raised rail. The rail switch is
accessible through a 1.5” diameter hole in the louvered panel.
Turning this switch to the ON position will activate the refrigeration
for the rail. Temperature ranges for the raised rail are 33°F to 41°F.
Product located in the rail must be removed at the end
of day. This allows you to turn the rail off at night to
save energy and the rail will have time to defrost as
needed.
A minimum of one hour of off time per day with the pans removed
from the rail is required to properly defrost the rail.
The power must be turned to OFF and the unit
disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service or maintenance functions.
Never operate the unit without the louvered panel in
place!
All R404A models have a high pressure limiting device. Under
severe overloading conditions, or in the event of a condenser fan
failure or a plugged or blocked condenser, this device may shut
down the refrigeration system. This device will automatically reset,
but determining the cause of the high pressure condition should be
investigated by a qualified refrigeration technician.
Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Operation
When the refrigerator is initially powered up or immediately following
a power outage the unit will begin cooling after a 3-6 minute delay.
During normal operation the evaporator fan pulses independently of
the compressor as dictated by the controller as follows:
1. During the cooling mode, compressor and evaporator fan run
simultaneously.
2. During the compressor off mode, evaporator fan pulses three
minutes on and three minutes off.
3. During an actual defrost event other than the off-cycle defrost,
compressor stays off but the evaporator fan runs continuously.

Care & Cleaning
Door Gasket Maintenance
Door gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew
build up and also to retain the elasticity of the gasket. Gasket cleaning
can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid full strength
cleaning products on gaskets as this can cause them to become
brittle and crack. Never use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean
the gasket. Gaskets can be easily replaced and do not require the use
of tools or an authorized service person. The gaskets are “Dart” style
and can be pulled out of the groove in the door and new gaskets can
be “pressed” back into place.
Drain Maintenance - Base
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit that removes the
condensation from the evaporator coil and routes it to an external
condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can become loose or
disconnected during normal use. If you notice water accumulation
on the inside of the unit be sure the drain tube is connected to the
evaporator drain pan. If water is collecting underneath the unit make
sure the end of the drain tube is in the condensate evaporator in the
machine compartment. The leveling of the unit is important as the
units are designed to drain properly when level. Be sure all drain lines
are free of obstructions.
Drawer Maintenance
Drawer Assembly Cleaning
The drawer assembly is designed to be cleaned easily. Both drawer
and tracks are removable without tools. The drawer tracks are
dishwasher safe or can be cleaned in a sink with detergents and a
soft bristle brush. Drawers and tracks should be cleaned on a weekly
basis.
Remove Drawers
Pull the drawer box out until it stops. Lift up on the drawer front and
pull the drawer box completely out. Using a soft bristle brush, clean
the track on the bottom of the drawer box. When finished, it should
be wiped clean of all food and debris.
Tracks
The drawer box assembly must be removed. Pull the drawer tracks
out until they hit a stop. Locate blue safety clips towards the back
of each drawer track. Blue safety clips have a tab on the top. Push
the tab back until it clicks.
Lift up and pull the drawer
tracks all the way out of the
drawer cage. The drawer
tracks are dishwasher safe
tab on top of
blue safety clip
tracks should be cleaned on a weekly basis. Using a soft bristle brush,
wash the track making sure each roller is thoroughly cleaned. The
drawer cage should be cleaned with a soft bristle brush, removing
any food and debris gathered on the bottom ledge. Once it’s cleaned
thoroughly with a soft bristle brush, wipe remaining debris clean with
a soft towel.
Reassembly
Push the drawer tracks into the drawer cage. The blue safety clip
must remain pushed towards the back. Lift up and slide the drawer
track all the way into the drawer cage. The blue safety clip will lock
or can be cleaned in a sink
with detergents and a soft
bristle brush. Drawers and
in place automatically. Once all tracks are replaced, insert the drawer
box. Rest the drawer box bottom track on the front track roller. Then
push the drawer back in place SLOWLY. When the drawer box is about
half way in you will hit a STOP. You must lift the front of the drawer up
approximately ½” (1.3cm) to continue inward. Clean tracks as often
as possible. The cleaner the tracks are the better they will operate.
Caster Maintenance
Wipe casters with a damp cloth monthly to prevent corrosion.
The power switch must be turned to OFF and the
unit disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning
the refrigerated area.
Refrigerators and Freezers
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm water.
If this isn’t sufficient, try ammonia and water or a nonabrasive liquid
cleaner. When cleaning the exterior, always rub with the “grain” of
the stainless steel to avoid marring the finish. Do not use an abrasive
cleaner because it will scratch the stainless steel and can damage the
breaker strips and gaskets.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
To prevent discoloration of rust on stainless steel several important
steps need to be taken. First, we need to understand the properties
of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains 70- 80% iron, which will
rust. It also contains 12-30% chromium, which forms an invisible
passive film over the steels surface, which acts as a shield against
corrosion. As long as the protective layer is intact, the metal is still
stainless. If the film is broken or contaminated, outside elements
can begin to breakdown the steel and begin to form discoloration of
rust. Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic
scouring pads.
NEVER USE STEEL PADS, WIRE BRUSHES OR SCRAPERS!
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-chloride cleaners.
Any cleaner containing chlorides will damage the protective film of
the stainless steel. Chlorides are also commonly found in hard water,
salts, and household and industrial cleaners. If cleaners containing
chlorides are used be sure to rinse repeatedly and dry thoroughly.
Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done with soap and water.
Extreme stains or grease should be cleaned with a non-abrasive
cleaner and plastic scrub pad. Always rub with the grain of the
steel. There are stainless steel cleaners available which can restore
and preserve the finish of the steels protective layer. Early signs of
stainless steel breakdown are small pits and cracks. If this has begun,
clean thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt
to restore the passivity of the steel.
Never use an acid based cleaning solution! Many food
products have an acidic content, which can deteriorate
the finish. Be sure to clean the stainless steel surfaces
of ALL food products. Common items include, tomatoes,
peppers and other vegetables.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the
condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease regularly.
It is recommended that this be done at least every three months.
If conditions are such that the condenser is totally blocked in three
months, the frequency of cleaning should be increased. Clean the
condenser with a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a
commercially available condenser cleaner may be required.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high
temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous operation with
a dirty or clogged condenser coil can result in compressor failure.
Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning procedures will void any
warranties associated with the compressor and cost to replace the
compressor.
Never use a high-pressure water wash for this
cleaning procedure as water can damage the electrical
components located near or at the condenser coil.
Doors/Hinges
Over time and with heavy use doors the hinges may become loose. If
this happens tighten the screws that mount the hinge brackets to the
frame of the unit. Loose or sagging doors can cause the hinges to pull
out of the frame, which may damage both the doors and the hinges. In
some cases this may require qualified service agents or maintenance
personnel to perform repairs.
Do not place hot pans on/against the blue ABS liner.
Do not throw items into the storage area. Failure to
follow these recommendations could result in damage
to the interior of the cabinet or to the blower coil.
Overloading the storage area, restricting the airflow,
and continuous opening and closing of the doors and
drawers will hamper the units ability to maintain
operational temperature.
18600 and CTP-NB Series Service and Installation Manual
Continuous opening and closing of the doors will hamper the unit’s
ability to maintain optimum refrigeration temperature. Top section is
not intended for overnight storage. Product should be removed from
pans. Pans can remain in unit while empty.
Refrigerated rail units
Product in the rail should be removed to the refrigerated base at the
end of the day. This allows you to turn the rail off at night to save
energy and to defrost the rail. It also helps maintain product quality.
The standard wrapped refrigerated rail units are controlled by a lowpressure control that is set to maintain the proper rail temperature.
An on/off switch is also provided for the rail and is required to be shut
off at night. With a LiquiTec rail a thermostat is provided to maintain
rail temperature as well as the rail on/off switch. The LiquiTec rail
is required to be shut off at night as well to allow for defrosting. To
ensure product quality in the rail it is recommended that product be
rotated every four hours.
If adding any item to the unit, be sure to keep in mind
the location of the refrigeration lines on wrapped rail
units. A refrigeration leak in a rail is extremely difficult
and costly to repair. In some cases it cannot be repaired
at all.
Preventing blower coil corrosion
To help prevent corrosion of the blower coil, store all acidic items,
such as pickles and tomatoes, in sealable containers. Immediately
wipe up all spills.
Units with pans should be operated with pans in place.
Operating the unit without all pans in place will lower
