INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the reach-in, check for possible shipping damage. If this unit is found to
be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate located on the upper left side wall inside the cabinet.
LOCATION
For optimum performance, the condensing unit of the reach-in must have an adequate supply of air for
cooling purposes. The operating location must provide either a minimum 12
condensing unit or the unrestricted flow of air at the back of the reach-in.

ASSEMBLY
Some components can be removed to allow the cabinet to pass through short or narrow doorways.
The door handle can be removed as follows:
1. If the adhesive-backed trim pieces are damaged during removal, new ones can be purchased
from Hobart. The adhesive-backed trim pieces on the top and bottom of the handles need to be
peeled off to expose the screws.
2. Peel off the trim pieces and remove the

screws which secure the handles.
3. Reinstall screws, handles and trim
pieces in reverse order of disassembly.
Door(s) and hinges can be removed as

If cabinets are too tall, the refrigeration system may need to be removed in order to pass through short
openings. Contact your dealer or authorized servicer if this becomes necessary.
Once the cabinet is in its final position, replace any components that may have been removed (door
handle, etc.) and then level the cabinet front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting the legs as required.
Door Hinging
Should the doors need to be rehinged (from right to left or vice versa) contact a Hobart-authorized
Refrigeration Service Company.

LEGS OR CASTERS
WARNING: THE CABINET MUST BE BLOCKED AND
STABLE BEFORE INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS.
Legs (Fig. 4)
To install the legs, raise and block the reach-in a minimum of
7" from the floor and thread the legs into the threaded holes on
the bottom of the cabinet. The unit must be level in order to
operate properly. Turn the adjustable feet in or out as required
to level the unit front-to-back and side-to-side.
NOTE: Three-section front opening cabinets come with five
legs; the fifth leg should be placed in the front center threaded
hole. Failure to install these legs in the proper location may
result in damage to the cabinet.
Casters (Fig. 5)
Use casters only on reach-in models that have cord and plug
electrical connections.
Raise and block the cabinet a minimum of 7" from the floor.
Thread the casters into the holes in the bottom of the cabinet
(Fig. 6). Casters with brake should be installed at the front.
Securely tighten the caster with the octagon shaped bolt head
underneath — not the round flange on top.

Shelves (Fig. 6)
If purchased, the shelves and shelf clips are shipped with
the cabinet. Insert the shelf clips into the pilaster and
install the shelves. Index holes are provided in the pilaster
to help in leveling the shelves.
Bonus shelves are provided to fill the space between the
shelves. These are positioned and supported by the
shelves.
NOTE: Loosen all thumbscrews which secure shelf
pilasters and light cover(s) prior to placing product in the
cabinet. Thumbscrews should be loose enough to remove
with your fingers so parts can be readily removed for
cleaning without the use of tools. Failure to comply with
this request will invalidate the NSF listing.
Compressor Mounts
Some reach-in refrigeration models have the compressor
specially mounted to help prevent damage during
shipment. If the compressor is mounted on shipping
blocks, remove the shipping blocks before operating the
compressor. If the compressor is mounted on springs,
refer to the tag attached to the compressor.
