Receiving and Inspecting the Equipment
Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should be
taken during unloading so the equipment is not damaged while
being moved into the building.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or
container. Any damage should be noted and reported to the
delivering carrier immediately.
2. If damaged, open and inspect the contents with the carrier.
3. In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet upon
opening, there is concealed damage to the equipment notify
the carrier. Notification should be made verbally as well as
in written form.
4. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the
damaged equipment. This should be done within 10 days
from receipt of the equipment.
5. Check the lower portion of the unit to be sure legs or casters
are not bent.
6. Also open the compressor compartment housing and
visually inspect the refrigeration package. Be sure lines are
secure and base is still intact.
7. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms
upon request.
8. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made
or waived.
Uncrating the Equipment
First cut and remove the banding from around the crate. Remove
the front of the crate material, use of some tools will be required.
If the unit is on legs remove the top of the crate as well and lift
the unit off the skid. If the unit is on casters it can be "rolled" off
the skid.

Location
This unit is intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location
chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight
of the cabinet, cooking equipment and contents. Re in force the
floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading, refer to the
Maximum Cooking Equipment Weight Capacity chart.
Good refrigeration is based on good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot
circulate.
Outside cabinet: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air to
and from the unit. If air flow is available to the rear of the unit that
will help dissipate exhaust air. In the event the unit is attached to the
wall mount brackets, it is important that air flow is available to the
compressor compartment. Allow air flow to the bottom of the unit
as well, avoid hot corners when possible. Allowing for the proper
air flow and ventilation to the compressor compartment will extend
the life of the compressor as well as ensure proper operation.
Cooking Equipment: WARNING! To assure proper
operation a 2" (5cm) airspace must be maintained
between the lowest part of any cooking equipment
WARNING
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.
A unit on legs will have an adjustable bullet foot on each
leg, adjust each for a level unit. A unit on casters will not be
adjustable. Be sure the unit is on a level floor, make necessary
changes to the floor for proper level.
Lock all front casters to ensure the stability of the unit.
Wall bracket installation
A wall bracket kit is supplied to secure the equipment stand to an
interior wall. Some models are supplied on optional casters. These
units must also have the wall bracket installed during use.

bracket tabs are above the height of the unit.
2. Tighten the rod until the bracket is held snug
against the back of the unit.
3. Move the unit against the wall at the desired
location.
4. Secure the wall mount bracket to the wall using the
top two holes provided in the bracket tabs exposed
above the unit. The wall material must be capable
of supporting a minimum load of 300 pounds (136
kilograms) in the vertical direction. All screws
must be 1/4" (6mm) diameter and be capable of
transferring the load from the bracket to the wall.
5. Remove the threaded rod from the wall mount
bracket and move the unit away from the wall,
leaving the bracket attached to the wall.
6. Secure the bracket to the wall using the remaining
four holes.

technique. It is the owner’s and operator’s
responsibility to securely anchor cooking
equipment to the equipment stand.
Moisture collecting from improper drainage can
create a slippery surface on the floor and a hazard
to employees. It is the owner’s and operator’s
responsibility to provide a con tain er or outlet for
drainage.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data, 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.
The on/off switch must be turned to OFF and the
unit disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or
cleaning the refrigerated area.
Under no circumstances is a self-contained unit to
be operated without the louvered panel in place.
Operation: Refrigerated Base Equipment Stands
Drawer base equipment stands are designed and pre-set at the
factory to maintain a temperature of 36°F to 40°F (2°C to 4°C). A
solar-powered digital thermometer is located on the front of the
unit to allow monitoring of the drawer housing temperature.
The drawer housing temperature is controlled by a thermostat
located in the machine compartment. Continuous opening and
closing of the drawers will hamper the unit’s ability to maintain
optimum refrigeration temperature. Excess weight on top of the
unit will adversely affect the operation of the drawers.
The cooling coil is coated in epoxy to provide long-lasting service.
However, storing all acidic items, such as peppers and tomatoes
with lids that are sealable and immediately wiping up all spills of
either acid or base items will greatly extend the life of your unit.
Never stand on the unit or its drawers! They are not
designed to hold the weight of an adult, and may
collapse or unit may tip if misused in this manner.
DANGER
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.

Maintenance
Gasket Maintenance
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 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 or
can be cleaned in a sink
with detergents and a soft
tab on top of
blue safety clip
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.
bristle brush. Drawers
and tracks should be
cleaned on a weekly basis.
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 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 or 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 steel’s 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
or 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.

CAUTION
Maintenance, continued
Never use an acid based cleaning solution! Many food
products have an acidic content, which can deteriorate
CAUTION
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.
the finish. Be sure to clean the stainless steel surfaces
of ALL food products. Common items include,
tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables.
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.
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
efficiency and may damage the unit.
Over shelves and other items mounted to the top of the counters
should never be installed in the field due to the potential damage
to the refrigeration system.
