Hydrocarbon Guidelines

PROPANE (R290) IS HIGHLY APPROVED FOR USE AS A REFRIGERANT IN COMMERCIAL,
SELF-CONTAINED UNITS IN THE US UNDER LIMITED USE CONDITIONS. IT CAN ONLY BE
USED IN NEW EQUIPMENT. BACKFITTING OR MODIFICATIONS OF OLD EQUIPMENT ARE
NOT ALLOWED. IT MUST BE CHARGED IN A STRICTLY LIMITED VOLUME OF UP TO 150
GRAMS (5.3 OZ) PER REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SMALL AMOUNT,
IT STILL PRESENTS A FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD IF IT LEAKS OUT OF PARTS THAT
HOLD REFRIGERANT. WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH AIR, A FLAMMABLE PROPANE-AIR
MIXTURE CAN BE CREATED AND EASILY IGNITED BY ELECTRICAL SPARKS, OPEN FLAMES OR
HOT SURFACES. THE RISK IS HIGHER IN SMALL, CONFINED, POORLY VENTILATED SPACES.
PROPANE WILL SETTLE AT LOWER ZONES BECAUSE IT IS HEAVIER THAN AIR. TO REDUCE
THESE RISKS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS

• Avoid installation of unit in areas with open flames or in general vicinity of open flames or high
surface temperatures.

• Avoid unit installation in small, confined spaces. Ensure ample ventilation at all times. Keep all
exhaust vents free of any blockage or obstruction.

• Do not rely on smell to detect potential leaks of propane refrigerant. Propane refrigerant is a
high purity propane gas and does not contain odorants or stenching agents. These additives are
typically used in fuel-grade propane and natural gas in order to give them a distinctive smell which
makes it easier to detect leaks.

• General service and repairs must be performed in well-ventilated areas.

• General service and repairs must be performed only by professionals authorized by Everest
Refrigeration.

• Component shall be replaced with Everest-issued, like components to minimize the risk of possible
ignition resulting from incompatible parts or improper repairs.

• Do not modify, re-appropriate, or remove any functional part(s) from the unit.

• Handle the unit with care to avoid any damage.

• Practice safety guidelines when transporting the unit. Consult with your local Department of
Transportation for requirements in moving flammable gasses.

Installation Instructions

This section applies to all Everest products. Correct installation ensures proper performance
and longevity of your appliance. Professional installation by a trained refrigeration technician
and electrician is recommended. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.

1. Inspect for any freight damage upon delivery

of the unit. If damage is detected, immediately
report it to an Everest representative. Everest
is not responsible for damage that occurs
during shipment.

2. Keep the unit upright at all times. The
compressor contains oil, refrigerant,
lubricants, and various chemicals. When tilted,
these fluids may shift and travel to sections
where they don’t naturally occur. This will
lead to system contamination and compressor
failure.

3. Some units require caster installation for
proper performance. Visit our website at
www.EVERESTref.com and enter your
product’s model number in the search field to
determine its caster requirements.

4. Do not place your hands under the top surface
lip or on the unit chassis when moving it to
avoid injury from sharp edges, protruding
parts or weight impact.

5. Select a location with good air ventilation.
Poor ventilation rapidly increases ambient
temperature. High ambient temperatures
exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive
compressor activity in order to maintain the
desired cabinet temperature. This will result in
decreased performance, advanced component
failure and the risk of fire.

6. Select a location away from heat-generating
equipment such as stoves, ovens, etc. Heat
sources rapidly increase the temperature of
the immediate vicinity. High temperatures
exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive
compressor activity in order to maintain the
desired cabinet temperature. This will result
in decreased performance, advanced
component failure, and the risk of fire.

7. A distance of 6" is required for back side
and left side clearance. This ensures proper
ventilation and prevents overheating which

can lead to advanced component failure and
the risk of fire.

8. Select a location with a hard, leveled surface.

Use a leveling tool on the unit to ensure
proper alignment. Proper door function and
condensate removal is dependent on accurate
balance. Install the front leg stabilizers for
units that come standard with it to ensure
proper door / drawer functions and unit
stability.

9. Select a location close to an electrical wall

outlet to ensure direct connection without the
use of extension cords.

10. Select a location away from severe moisture

conditions. This may compromise the unit’s
electrical components and lead to electrical
shocks or the risk of fire.

11. Select a location that will not expose the unit

to extremely dusty conditions. Environments
with high dust and debris content will
significantly hasten condenser coil and
condenser coil air filter blockage and will
result in decreased performance, advanced
component failure, and the risk of fire.

12. Do not build an enclosure or cabinet around

the unit. This will restrict air ventilation
resulting in elevated compressor activity,
decreased performance, advanced component
failure, and the risk of fire.

13. The unit is not intended for use in food trucks.

Limited space, lack of ventilation, and ambient
temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) typical to
this setting will result in elevated compressor
activity, decreased performance, advanced
component failure, and the risk of fire.

14. The unit is intended for indoor use only.

Outdoor use will cause a decrease in
performance, advanced component failure,
and the risk of fire.

Installation Instructions

Shelf Installation

Some models come standard with shelves, shelf clips and notched pilasters.
Each shelf requires four clips.

1. Attach the shelf clips onto the pilasters by inserting

its top hook into a pilaster notch followed by the
bottom hook. Do not use pliers or other crimping
tools to modify the shape of the shelf clips. This will
result in shelf mounting instability.

Installation Instructions

2. Place shelves on the shelf clips making sure all

corners are mounted securely and evenly with
identical distance from the unit’s floor and up. Always
lay the back of each shelf down on the rear clips
before the front.

3. When removing a shelf, unmount the shelf from the

shelf clips. To detach the shelf clip from the pilaster,
tilt up the shelf clip until the bottom hook clears,
followed by the top hook.

Electrical Safety

This section applies to all Everest products. Basic safety precautions must be observed when
using electrical appliances in addition to the following. Warranty is void if these guidelines
are not met.

Everest units come as 115 volts, 60 hertz,
single phase.

Everest units in this family are equipped with a
NEMA 5-15P. A 15 amp breaker must be used
for units that come with a NEMA 5-15P plug.

115/60/1
NEMA 5-15R

The ground prong must not be removed to reduce
the risk of electric shock and related hazards.
If the grounding pin is missing, the cord must

be removed from use. If the outlet is a standard
2-prong outlet, it must be replaced with the
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Only
a qualified electrician may install the correct
power source.

To guarantee electrical safety, the wall outlet and
circuit must be checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure it is properly grounded.

Remove debris from the power plug prongs
with a soft cloth or brush before connecting
it to an outlet.

Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or
other third party electrical connections. Everest is
not responsible for issues resulting from improper
electrical connections, electrical power failures
and voltage fluctuations.

Everest does not recommend the use of
generators in conjunction with the unit due
to voltage fluctuations that may compromise
electrical components.

Turn off the unit using the power button before

unplugging. Wait at least 5 minutes before
re-plugging to prevent damage to the compressor.

Do not unplug the unit by tugging on the power
cord. Grip the plug and pull it securely out of the
outlet.

Prevent damage to the power cord by providing
sufficient clearance around and under the unit.
Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or
exposed wires. Power cords that have been
severely worn or damaged must be replaced
with original manufacturer parts and only by
an authorized technician.

Assign the unit to a dedicated, undamaged
electrical circuit with a voltage rating that
matches the data plate. Check the incoming
voltage with a multi-meter. This avoids the
overloading and overheating of circuit wires
which may lead to a fire.

Electrical Safety

Operation

Use your Everest product according to its intended functions. Warranty is void if the following
guidelines are not met.

Starting your Everest Product

After plugging in the unit, the current temperature and compressor symbol will appear on the
digital temperature control’s LED display. will flash at short intervals for 1 minute after which the
compressor(s) and condenser fan motor(s) will initiate. At the beginning of every compressor cycle,
the condenser fan motor is automated to rotate in reverse for 30 seconds in order to blow dust off the
condenser coil.

The evaporator fan motor(s) will initiate once the evaporator coil reaches a specific temperature
relative to the digital temperature control setting and for as long as the door is closed. A fan symbol

will appear on the LED display to indicate that the evaporator fan is running.

Allow the unit to operate for 24 to 72 hours before storing contents in the cabinet. This lets the cabinet
temperature fully stabilize. Use this time to verify proper installation and operation.

The interior light and evaporator fan motor is controlled by a door switch for door models.

The default temperature setting is 35.0°F (2.0°C) for refrigerators and -4.0°F (-20.0°C) for freezers.
The factory recommended temperature range is between 33.0°F (1.0°C) to 40.0°F (4.0°C) for
refrigerators and -5.0°F (-21.0°C) to 0°F (-18.0°C) for freezers. Setting the temperature outside of the
recommended range will cause performance issues and in some cases may result in component failure
that is outside of warranty coverage.

The compressor, condenser and evaporator fan motors run while the unit is on refrigeration cycle.

The compressor, condenser and evaporator fan motors stop running while the unit is on defrost cycle.

The unit is preset to defrost every 5-6 hours with a duration of 45 minutes or less depending on the
evaporator coil temperature. Changing the preset outside of the default range will result in cooling
issues and advanced component failure.

The digital temperature control is intended to read and display the cabinet’s air temperature, not actual
food product temperature. The displayed temperature may fluctuate due to frequent or prolonged door
operation. The most conclusive method to determine a unit’s cooling performance is to measure the
food product’s temperature using a digital food thermometer.

Troubleshooting Guide

In most cases, your Everest product may be exhibiting behavior that is typical
of standard operation. Observe the following when troubleshooting symptoms.

‘cht’ or ‘CHt’ appears on the LED alternating
with the current temperature and accompanied
by an audible alarm.

The condenser coil may be clogged with dust,
grime or debris. Clean it following the instructions
on page (14,15).

The room’s ambient temperature may be higher
than 86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or
additional cooling to the room or relocate the unit
to a larger space with lower ambient temperature.

The unit may be installed in close proximity to
heat sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters or
direct sunlight. Relocate the unit away from these
sources.

The unit may be installed without clearance or
proper ventilation. Provide additional exhaust
vents and observe the clearance allowance
specified on page 3.

The compressor, fan motors or entire system
fails to start

The ON/OFF switch may be set to OFF. Turn to
the ON position and wait for the LED and motors
to show signs of operation.

The power cord may not be connected. Check
for proper connection. In cases of damage to the
power cord or plug, immediately mark the unit as
out of order until the damaged part is replaced.

The outlet may not be sending power or the
power supply breaker may be switched off. Unplug
the unit and contact a licensed electrician for
inspection and/or repairs.

The compressor operates continuously or for
prolonged periods.

The condenser coil or condenser coil air filter
may be clogged with dust, grime or debris. Clean
them following the instructions on page (14,15).

The door, drawer or gasket may not be sealing
properly. Check product placement in the cabinet
as it may prevent the door and drawers from fully
closing. If the gasket is loose, reattach.

The evaporator coil may be blocked with ice.
Defrost it following the instructions in Chapter

5. Normally, evaporator coils will self-maintain
with automated defrost cycles. If the evaporator
coil ices up frequently, re-assess placement of
food items in the cabinet as it could obstruct cold
air circulation. Food items must not touch the
wall or floors of the cabinet and stay within the
boundaries of the shelf to prevent blockage of air
flow.

The room’s ambient temperature may be higher
than 86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or
additional cooling to the room or relocate the unit
to a larger space with lower ambient temperature.

The unit may be installed in close proximity to
heat sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters or
direct sunlight. Relocate the unit away from these
sources.

The unit may be installed without clearance or
proper ventilation. This forces the compressor to
operate constantly in order to maintain cabinet
temperature. Provide additional exhaust vents and
observe the clearance allowance specified on
page 3.

Troubleshooting Guide

16

The cabinet temperature is too warm.

Condensation in the interior cabinet.

The condenser coil may be clogged with dust,
grime or debris. Clean it following the instructions
on page (14,15).

The door or door gasket may not be sealing
properly. Check product placement in the cabinet
as it may prevent the door from fully closing. If the
gasket is loose, reattach.

The temperature may be set too high. Adjust the
setting to 35.0°F (2.0°C) for refrigerators or -4.0°F
(-20.0°C) for freezers.

Hot food items may have been placed in the
cabinet. Store only room temperature food items.

The room’s ambient temperature may be higher
than 86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or
additional cooling to the room. Relocate the unit
from extremely small spaces without ventilation.

The unit may be installed in close proximity to
heat sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters or
direct sunlight. Relocate the unit away from
these sources.

The unit may be installed without clearance or
proper ventilation. Provide additional exhaust
vents and observe the clearance allowance
specified on page 3.

The door / drawer or gaskets may not be sealing
properly. If the gasket is loose, reattach. Check
product placement in the cabinet as it may prevent
the door from fully closing.

Hot food items may have been stored in the
cabinet. The interaction between hot and cold
temperatures will promote condensation.

Unsealed or open food items with high moisture
content may have been stored in the cabinet.
Keep these items in air tight containers.

Mild condensation in warmer ambient temperature
conditions may occur due to frequent or prolonged
door operation.

Condensation on the unit’s exterior surfaces.

Highly humid environments will contribute to the
condensation build up on exterior panels. Providing
ample ventilation and air movement to a space will
reduce the humidity level.

The door, drawer or gasket may not be sealing
properly. Check product placement in the cabinet
as it may prevent the door from fully closing. If the
gasket is loose, reattach.

Noise level during unit operation.

Food items are frosting over.

The temperature may be set too low. Adjust the
setting to 35.0°F (2.0°C) for refrigerators or

-4.0°F (-20.0°C) for freezers.

The placement of food items in the cabinet may
be obstructing circulation of refrigerated air. This
creates uneven temperature in the cabinet with
pockets of very cold air that may cause items to
frost or freeze over. Food items must not touch
the wall or floors of the cabinet and stay within
the boundaries of the shelf to prevent blockage
of air flow.

17

It is normal for commercial grade compressors
and components to have a higher decibel output
compared to residential counterparts.

The unit may not be balanced evenly. Poorly
leveled units may cause components or fittings to
misalign or disengage during operation. This may
produce noise as a direct result of repeated
surface friction or impact.

The unit may not be securely mounted to the
floor. This may produce noise as a direct result of
repeated surface friction or impact.

Some sounds are normal for the refrigeration
process. A dripping sound, for example, is
the result of refrigerant circulation during the
compressor rest period.
