During Installation -

This equipment must be installed by qualified personnel, in compliance with all
manufacturer’s instructions and local building, food safety and electric codes.

and possibly wood splinters. When uncrating, wear gloves and eye protection to reduce

the risk of injury.

model weighs 340 lbs. or 154 kg. Do not attempt to remove this unit from the shipping
carton without the help of others.

Important! Failure to provide the recommended rear or side clearance may shorten the
Grill-Side Freezer life, increase compressor running time, increase energy usage and

impact unit warranty coverage.

When Loading Product –

Always use disposable gloves when removing frozen grill product from the freezer and
placing it on the grill, to avoid potential cross contamination.

Important Product Loading Tips:

openings.

FRGSF Operating Manual Page 2

NOTE: Recommended maximum HOLD time for all products is 24 hours.
CAUTION:Do not allow freezer door to remain open for any longer than the time

required to remove the frozen product required. Keeping the door open will raise freezer
compartment temperature, require the compressor to work harder and potentially result

in a FOOD SAFETY problem.

During Store Closing Procedure –

1. Before closing, all remaining frozen product must be returned to long-term
freezer storage.

2. This equipment must not be cleaned with a high-pressure water jet or steam
cleaner.

CAUTION: When unplugging the FRGSF, avoid any contact with hot surfaces on the
Grill Station. Allow the Grill Station to cool before unplugging the FRGSF. Contact with

hot grease or hot surfaces can cause severe burns.
Note!Never defrost the freezer by scraping the inside walls, regardless of how much

ice is present. The only proper method for defrosting is to unplug the freezer, open the
door and allow frost or ice to melt.

During Preventative Maintenance –

WARNING!Verify the freezer is disconnected from the power source before attempting

any preventive maintenance. Failure to disconnect the electric power could result in
electric shock, burns, injuries or death.

CAUTION!The fins on a condenser coil are very sharp, and some refrigeration lines
can be very hot, resulting in possible cuts and/or burns. Avoid physical contact with the

fins on the condenser coil or any related refrigeration lines. Gloves are recommended
when cleaning the condenser coil.
