1) PLUG CABINET INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER
RECEPTACLE. Press ON/OFF Icon to “ON” position. The red
indicating light will come on and remain on until power button
is pressed to “OFF”, or the unit is unplugged.
2) CONDENSER CLEARANCE. Keep a minimum of 6'' clear all
around unit to allow condenser to vent war m air.
3) SELECT A TEMPERATURE SETTING.
Pre-Set at 35°F for REFRIGERATOR:
Temperature Range: 33°F to 41°F (1°C to 5°C)
Pre-Set at 15°F for FREEZER:
Temperature Range: 5°F to 32°F (-15°C to 0°C)
Press ▲ to raise the temperature of the cabinet and scroll to
desired temperature. Press ▼ to lower the temperature of the
cabinet and scroll to desired temperature.
4) PRE-CONDITION CABINET FOR 30-60 MINUTES.
Your cabinet should be pre-cooled 30-60 minutes before loading
at your desired set temperature.
AVOID PUTTING HOT FOODS INTO A COLD CABINET!
5) LOADING THE CABINET - During the loading procedure, keep
the doors closed as much as possible. After loading is completed,
do not open doors again until you are ready to serve.
6) TRANSPORTING FOODS - Your cabinet is equipped with a
positive transportation latch to assure safety during transportation.
After loading the cabinet, keep it plugged in with the door closed
and wait 15 - 20 minutes before moving it, to allow it to reach
maximum holding temperature.Then wheel to ser ving area, and
plug the cabinet into an electrical outlet at the ser ving location
(if available), so that the compressor will re-activate and
automatically hold at the pre-selected temperature.

FOR BEST USE AND CARE
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Keep your cabinet clean by simply wiping the interior and
exterior, as needed, with a damp cloth or sponge and a mild
soapy solution. NEVER USE ABRASIVES, ACIDS, OR
STRONG CLEANERS. Do not flood or allow electrical
parts to become wet. The interior tray slide assemblies
and humidifier pans are removable for easy cleaning.
A stainless steel cleaner/polish is recommended for
the exterior to maintain a "like-new" appearance.
DO NOT USE WAX OR STRONG CLEANERS
ON DOOR GASKETS OR VINYL TRIM.
CLEANING
FOR BEST RESULTS - Your Cold-Ser ve cabinet should be
pre-cooled for 15 - 30 minutes before loading. The compressor
cycling light will go off when unit has reached the pre-set
temperature.
AVOID PUTTING HO
T FOODS INTO A COLD CABINET!
LO ADING THE CABINET - During the loading procedure,
keep the doors closed as much as possible. After loading is
completed, do not open doors again until you are ready to
serve.
TRANSPORTING COLD FOODS - Your cabinet is equipped
with a positive transportation latch to assure safety during
transportation. Before moving the cabinet, keep it plugged in
and wait until the compressor cycling light goes off.This takes
only a short time. As soon as the cycling light goes off, unplug
the cabinet and wheel to serving area. Plug the cabinet into an
electrical outlet at the ser ving location (if available) so that the
compressor will re-activate and automatically hold at the
pre-selected temperature.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT
OR PRIOR TO ANY SERVICE.
The most important thing you can do to insure a long, reliable
service life for your FWE Refrigerator or Freezer is to
regularly
clean the condenser (compressor) coil.
The condensing unit
requires regularly scheduled cleaning to keep the finned
condenser clean of lint and dust accumulation.
Keeping the condenser clean allows the cabinet to operate
efficiently, use less energy, and achieve top performance values.
To clean the condenser, first disconnect electr ical power to the
cabinet and remove the front and/or rear louver assembly.To
remove this, remove the screws located on louver assembly.
Once the screws are removed, the panel can be removed allowing
full access to the front facing condenser. Vacuum any dirt, lint,
or dust from the finned condenser coil, the compressor and other
cooling system parts. If significant dir t is clogging the condenser
fins*, use brush or compressed air to blow this clear.
NOTE: Care should be taken not to bend any of the condenser
fins, as this will reduce performance and compressor life.
Replace louver assembly and screws which hold it in place.

Activated red light above the defrost cycle button indicates DEFROST mode is in progress.
DEFROST CYCLE - “ON DEMAND” DEFROST
Press to ACTIVATE DEFROST at any time.
Press to CANCEL DEFROST in progress (Defrost Override).
It is possible that the unit will self-initiate a defrost if excessive ice is on coil. NOTE: If the coil is not defrosted,
temperatures will rise and reduced performance will be noticeable.If the unit is in a defrost cycle, it can be
cancelled by pushing the defrost button.This will force the unit out of the defrost cycle.The unit will await
30 to 60 seconds at the end of a defrost before the compressor and or the fans will return to normal operation,
achieving the best restart performance and cooling temperatures. In addition to a self-initiated defrost, the unit is
supplied with a forced “on demand” defrost cycle. It is located on the front control, and by depressing the switch,
the unit will be forced into a self-defrost (maximum of 20 minutes).During a defrost cycle, the indicator light will
illuminate above the switch and momentar ily disable the compressor, the coil and the fans. Defrost feature allows
proper defrosting of the accumulated condensation and ice build-up on the coil. As with the self-initiated defrost,
if the unit is in a defrost cycle, it can be cancelled by pressing the defrost button.Wait approximately 60 seconds
for defrost to end.
During the defrost cycle or the “Off Cycle” of the compressor, the evaporator coil will defrost.
The condensation from the evaporator coil flows from the top of the unit down a drain in the back to a condensate
pan.Vapor escapes through the back gr ill. The vapor can sometimes be visible and should be considered a
normal operating condition. Proper attention should be given to defrosting your unit. Every “event” or time the unit
is used with the door open, the coil will build-up ice, reducing the effectiveness of the overall operation of the unit.
If the temperature zone is too high and cabinet will not chill to desired temperature:
1) The evaporator coil needs defrosting. Press the “ON DEMAND DEFROST”button on the control panel.
Unit will defrost in approximately 20 minutes.Defrost indicator light will illuminate during defrost cycle.
The unit will automatically return to normal operation after a defrost cycle, having a transition time of 60 seconds.
Certain conditions may require 3 repeated sequential defrosts.
2) Dirt, lint, and/or dust are on the condenser (compressor) coil. To clean the condenser, first disconnect
electrical power to the cabinet and remove the screws on the front and/or rear louver assembly. Removed
louvered panel allowing full access to the front facing condenser.Vacuum any dirt, lint, and/or dust from the
finned condenser coil, the compressor and other cooling system parts. If significant dir t is clogging the condenser
fins, use brush or compressed air to blow this clear. NOTE: Care should be taken not to bend any of the
condenser fins, as this will reduce performance and compressor life. Replace louver assembly and
screws which hold it in place.
