WARRANTY

SUPPLEMENTAL WARRANTY AFTER 20 MONTH WARRANTY

FROM 21 MONTHS TO 5 YEARS

Dinex agrees to reimburse the original purchaser, for five (5) years after the date of
shipment for the net exchange cost of the replacement motor-compressor less any labor,
freight, taxes and handling charges.

The term “original purchaser-user” as used herein shall be deemed to mean that person,
firm, associa tion, or cor poration for whom the equipment was originally installed.

The term “motor-compressor” as used herein does not include unit base, air or wa ter
cooled condenser, receiver, electrical accessories such as relay, ca pacitors, pressure
control, or condenser fan motor assembly, etc. This war ranty fur ther does not include any
equipment to which said motor-compressor is connected, such as cooling coils,
temperature controls, refrigerant metering devices, refrigerant, etc. This war ranty shall be
void if said motor-compressor in our judgment has been subjected to misuse, negligence,
accident or operated contrary to the recommendations specified by the manufacturer or if
the serial number has been altered, defaced or removed.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

Performance under this warranty is contingent upon causes beyond our control and we
shall not be liable for any default or delay in performance thereunder caused by any
contingency beyond our control including war, governmental restrictions or restraints,
strikes, fire, floods, short or reduced supply or raw material or discontinuance of the par ts
or motor compressor assembly by our suppliers.

This warranty applies only to the motor-compressor installed within the continental limits
of the United States.

This warranty does not give the owner of the refrigerator the rights to purchase a
complete replacement condensing unit of the same make or another make. It further does
not permit the replacement to be made with a motor-compressor of another make unless
written approval is authorized.

Expressly excluded from this warranty are damages resulting from spoilage of goods or
any other incidental damages inasmuch as this warranty applies only to the replacement
of defective motor-compressor.

ii

Changes in engineering standards cause variations in compressor
specifications. These changes are brought about by our upgrading programs
and our suppliers engineering product changes. It is impractical for the
customer to go to the manufacturer for the replacement compressor.
Suppliers have set up wholesaler organizations to handle replacements on a
local basis.

The standard O.E.M. (original equipment manufacturers) warranties are for an
unconditional 20 months from date of manufacture at their factor y. This
allows several months for Dinex to install a compressor and get the cabinet
into the field.

A defective compressor must be taken to a local wholesaler and exchanged
for a new one. If the first three digits of the defective compressor serial
number shows that it is less than 20 months old, the wholesaler is obligated
to give an even exchange.

The additional four year warranty is available from Dinex, 628-2 Hebron
Avenue, Glastonbur y, CT 06033-5006.

If the defective compressor is past 20 months of age, it must be exchanged
with the local wholesaler and the service company, dealer, or the customer
must temporarily pay for a new compressor, *less any salvage value of the
original. A copy of the original wholesale invoice and salvage credit memo,
must then be sent to Dinex, with the model and serial number of our ca binet.
Dinex will reimburse them for the net exchange price, less any labor, freight,
tax, or handling charges. Reimbursements are not prorated over the five year
warranty.

(*Note: Salvage credit applies to Copelamatic units only)

SECTION 2
INSTALLATION

Reach-In Models:

IMPORTANT:

It is highly recommended that your

refrigerator or freezer be installed by an

Authorized Dinex Installer.

A. Receiving Shipment

Upon arrival, examine the exterior of the shipment
packaging for any signs of rough handling.

If the cabinet is damaged, it should be noted on the
delivery slip or bill of lading and signed to that effect. A
claim must be filed immediately against the carrier
indicating the extent and estimated cost of damage
incurred.

All units are performance tested and thoroughly
inspected prior to shipment. Upon leaving the factory, all
units are in perfect condition and the carrier signs to this
effect.

B. Uncrating Procedure

WARNING:

DO NOT, Under Any Circumstances, Lay

Your New Equipment Down On Either The

Back, Front or Sides!!!!

1. See instructions printed on shipping carton.

2. Also see warranty registration card inside the
back cover of this manual.

3. Remove protective cardboard corners, sides and
top.

4. Next remove the shipping skid.

5. If any concealed damage is discovered at this

time, notify the carrier in writing

, and retain all
carton and packing materials until an inspection
has been made or waived by the carrier.

CAUTION:

Exercise extreme caution when removing

the wooden skid, especially when the last

bolt is removed, as the skid, if not properly

blocked, will fall to the floor with extreme

force.

C. Removing Plastic Film

Stainless steel surfaces are protected with plastic film
when shipped. The film is easily removed by grasping an
edge or corner of the film and pulling it off.

D. Locating Your New Blast Chill Unit

The cabinet should not be placed in the immediate
vicinity of ranges, ovens and other heat radiating
equipment. As a hot ambient will reduce the cooling
efficiency of the unit as well as increase operating cost.
Self-Contained refrigeration is standard on reach-in
chillers. Adequate air ventilation is mandatory for the
condensing units in order to operate efficiently and to
prevent excessive and damaging operating temperatures.

E. Leveling

The cabinet must be standing level on all four casters for
the self-closing doors to operate properly and for proper
drainage of condensation from the evaporator. Casters
are non-adjustable, therefore the floor must be level.

F. Cleaning (refer to section 4)

Section 2-Installation

Section 2-Installation

G. Installing Panslides (for Models IREBC-35 &
IREBC-75 only)

There are five (5) pairs of panslides for the IREBC-35
and twelve (12) pairs of panslides for the IREBC-75 that
are considered standard for these models. They are
shipped in a bundle fastened to the skid at the rear of the

cabinet and must be installed as seen in Figure 2-1.

Before installing the slides, remove the protective plastic
film. When installing, make sure the panslides are level
(from front to back) and are at the same height on each
side. Otherwise, the pans will not sit level and could fall.

Figure 2-1

Panslide Installation

H. Electrical Supply

The IREBC-35 and IREBC-75 are furnished with an
electrical power cord, plug and receptacle. The
appropriate NEMA receptacle must be available at the
installation location. Other models require a qualified
electrician to furnish and install wiring for the power
supply. This must be connected to the identified
terminals provided inside the control panel. Refer to the
appropriate wiring diagram furnished with the cabinet for
guidance.

Electrical power of the correct voltage, phase and
ampacity must be supplied to the Blast Chiller. The

chiller must have it’s own separate electrical circuit
breaker with no other equipment or appliance connected
to that breaker. For the electrical requirements see the
cabinet data plate located on the interior wall.

I. Location of Serial Number/Data Plate

The serial number/data plate is located on the interior

wall of the cabinet. Refer to Figure 2-2 to see what the

plate looks like.

Figure 2-2

Serial Number/Data Plate

J. Check List (with Power Turned Off)

Note: Examine The Following Before Start-UP!!!!
Caution!: Make sure electrical power is turned off prior

to making these checks to avoid the
possibility of unexpected injury.

1. Check that above installation recommendations have
been adhered to. Pay particular attention to
installation location for any potential excessive
heat sources (oven, range, etc.) or inadequate air
ventilation conditions which can cause compressor
overheating problems and/or failure. if any such
condition exists notify the owner to have the installer
correct.

2. Check refrigeration tubing for damage (or potential
for) such as kinks and not touching or rubbing
against anything.

3. Make sure cabinet is sitting level with four (4)
casters in contact with the floor.

4. If on casters, make sure front caster brakes are in
“locked” position.

5. Check door operation. Make sure door self-closes
when opened to less than 90 degrees. Also make
sure it stays open when opened past 90 degrees.

6. Inspect magnetic door gasket to be sure it is
making contact on all four (4) sides and that it is not
cut, torn, twisted or otherwise deformed.

7. Check installation of shelves or pan slides
as appropriate.

8. Check electrical power source for correct voltage,
phase and ampacity. Refer to cabinet data plate for
requirements.

9. Make sure all circuit breakers are turned on.

10. Check all fan blades. They should turn freely
without touching anything.

11. Check electrical power supply cord and plug for any
damage.

12. Check condensate vaporizer (evaporator) tray at
rear of cabinet (IREBC-35 location is
inside compressor compartment) for any
damage and foreign debris (remove if present).
