(3) PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

3.1 INSPECTION FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

You are responsible for filing all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons
and crates for damage as soon as they arrive. If damage is noted to shipping crates, cartons, or if
a shortage is found, note this on the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing.

If damage is discovered when the case is uncrated, immediately call the delivering truck line and
follow up the call with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for an
immediate inspection of your concealed damaged item. Crating material must be retained to
show the inspector from the truck line.

(5) GENERAL ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING

WARNING:

Improper or faulty hookup of electrical components in the display case
can result in severe injury or death.

5.1 CORD CONNECTED

All standard models are supplied with a power cord that is properly sized to the amperage
requirements of the case. See the rating plate for specific unit requirements. This can be
located as shown in the “FEATURE IDENTIFICATION” section of this manual.
The cord is factory installed protruding from the bottom rear corner of the case.
A separate circuit for each display case is required to prevent other appliances on the
same circuit from overloading the circuit and causing malfunction.

CAUTION

Risk of Electric Shock. If the cord or plug becomes damaged, replace
only with a cord and plug of the same type.

(6) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 LOCATING THE DISPLAY CASE

The case should be located where it is not subjected to heating ducts, radiators, or ceiling fans,
nor should it be located near open doors or main door entrances. Also, avoid locations where
there is excessive air movement or air disturbances.

Enough clearance must be provided to rear of the unit to allow for power cord routing and an
electrical outlet if it is to be installed behind the case.

For rear door units, 3ft or more clearance to the back is recommended to allow access to the
doors.

No clearance is needed on the sides of the unit.

6.2 REMOVING CASE FROM SHIPPING SKID AND GENERAL INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

Do not push or pull against the top end glass, or door when removing the
case from the skid or moving the case. Case damage or glass breakage will
result.

Tools Required:
Pry bar
Mallet

Remove crate top and sides and note missing or damaged items as explained in the pre­installation procedures outlined above.

1. Check that you have received the following parts with your display case:

 Six (6) shelf brackets, three (3) left side brackets, and three (3) right side brackets

 Level the unit side to side and front to back using the leveling wrench provided or

other open-ended wrench.

cleaning procedure in this manual.
