First Steps
Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the appliance
is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15-amp time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local
codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are
NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.
* If the voltage varies by 10% or more,
appliance performance may be affected. Operating the appliance with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.
If you suspect your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
* To prevent the appliance from being turned
off accidentally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
* DO NOT pinch, knot, or bend the power cord
in any manner.

Appliance Placement
Leave a 1" space on all sides and the back of the cabinet for ease of installation, proper air
circulation and electrical connections. DO NOT block the front grill on the lower front of your
appliance. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your appliance.
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. For the most efficient operation, the
appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 40OF (5oC)
or exceed 110OF (43oc). Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.
Insulation
The insulated space of this cabinet is sealed to maintain peak efficiency. Holes drilled in
the cabinet may destroy that seal and damage electrical wiring located in the insulated space. DAMAGED ELECTRICAL WIRING OR WET INSULATION CAUSED BY DRILLING WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY,

Appliance Start=up Features
Once the appliance has been located in its permanent location and the proper power and
grounding has been provided, the following items must be checked or completed:
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the appliance to cool down completely before loading
with food. The appliance will run continuously for the first several hours. Do not place any food
in the appliance until after the first 24 hours of operation.
Thermostat Setting
The appliance is shipped from the factory with the thermostat set at about the mid-point of the
operating range. Adjustments colder or warmer can be made after the appliance has been running for at least 8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for
temperature stabilization before re-adjusting the thermostat.
Defrost Setting
The appliance is designed to defrost automatically every 12 hours. To set the time of
defrost, wait until the desired time to defrost. With the notch on the timer knob aligned with the line on the bracket (Figure 6), turn the
defrost timer knob clockwise slowly. The timer will click several times, then once loudly, at
which point the defrost cycle begins. The timer
knob will advance through the defrost cycle, then
click loudly at the end of the cycle. The appliance will defrost automatically every 12 hours after
the first defrost cycle.
For example, to set the appliance to defrost
at 10:00 AM, turn the timer knob clockwise at 10:00 AM until the timer clicks loudly. The
appliance will defrost daily at 10:00 AM and again 12 hours later at 10:00 PM. NOTE: The
appliance interior temperature will rise slightly during the first defrost cycle.

Features Care and Ciearlirlg
NSF Certified Temperature Gauge
This appliance is equipped with an NSF-certified temperature gauge to display cabinet internal
temperature. The temperature gauge is located on the top right side of the evaporator housing
inside the unit.
Fluorescent Lamp (glass door models)
The Glass Door Refrigerator is equipped with
a 17 watt fluorescent lamp. A ballast - lamp mismatch may result in poor or no lighting.
If the lamp fails, replace with a lamp of the same type and wattage. Also, replace a lamp
that flickers continuously. This could damage the
ballast.
Turning the light off, when not in use, will save
energy. However, frequent ON-OFF cycling will reduce the lamp life.
Use only NSF certified lamp which can be ordered from your Frigidaire Commercial Service
Center by calling 1-866-738-1640.
Cleaning the Interior
Be sure to turn the temperature control to "OFF" and unplug the electrical cord. Wash the inside
surface of the storage area with a Solution of 1 tbsp. (12 g) of baking soda in 1 qt. (1 I) warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm
water and wipe dry.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the cabinet exterior occasionally with a cloth dampened in mild detergent and water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use
razor blades or other sharp instruments that can scratch the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and
mild detergent or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.
Condensate Pan
Some models have a condensate pan in a fixed position located behind the toe grill. This must not
be removed from under the cabinet. If the pan is removed, condensate will drop onto the floor.
Interior Light
(stainless steel door models)
The stainless steel door models are equipped with
a 40-watt bulb that lights up when the door is opened. If the bulb goes bad, replace with bulb of
the same type and wattage. This is a special bulb
with a shatterproof coating. Use only an NSF- certified bulb of the same type and wattage which
can be ordered from your Frigidaire Commercial Service Center by calling 1-866-738-1640.

Energy=Saving Tips Power Failure
This appliance is designed for efficiency with heavy foam insulation. However, there are things
that the user can do to maintain the appliance in operating condition.
* Do not operate the appliance any colder
than necessary to maintain safe, product storage temperatures.
, lake sure the appliance is located to prevent
direct exposure to sunlight, air ducts, etc.
* Keep the lid closed except for normal use.
Inspect the door often to see that it self- closes and the gaskets are in good condition.
* Do not overstock the product in the cabinet
because it will block the normal air flow.
* Have at least annual inspections by a
qualified service company to see that the refrigerant charge is correct.
* This appliance operates more efficiently in
a cooler ambient than in a hot ambient. Try to maintain an ambient below 80OF
(27oC) and 65% RH (Relative Humidity) for maximum efficiency.
Periods of Non=use and Hoving Tips
Leave the appliance operating during periods of non-use of less than 3 weeks.
Long Periods of Non=use If the appliance will not be used for
several months:
* Remove all food and unplug the power cord. * Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. * Leave the appliance door open slightly,
blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
