GENERAL
The QE and EQE Series Roll-in Food Storage Cabinets are available as medium temperature (38°F)
or frozen food (0°F) storage cabinets. The QEH Series is available as a hot food (180°F) storage
cabinet. QE, EQE, and QEH Series may be ordered as one-, two-, or three-section, roll-in or rollthrough cabinets. The PEQ Series may be ordered as one-, two-, or three -section roll-in or roll-through
proofer cabinets for the baking industry. Proofer cabinets control temperature, humidity, and time.
Thaw Proofer cabinets have a two-stage control, an initial Thaw stage is automatically followed by a
Proof stage; each stage independently controls temperature, humidity, and time.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the cabinet is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to verify that it agrees with the data plate located in the
upper left corner inside the cabinet.
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. Remove the screw and bolt from the tumbler.
2. Remove the two mounting screws and the handle
assembly (Fig. 1).
3. Replace in reverse order of disassembly.
NOTE: Proofers do not have locks.

which secure the trim
rail cover (Fig. 2),
unplug the door switch

the screws which secure
the trim rail (Fig. 2).
Carefully lay the trim rail

which secures the bottom hinge. Remove
door. Remove lower hinge plate (Fig. 3).
4. If the hinge mechanism should become
uncocked while changing the door, it will
be necessary to recock the hinge
mechanism. To do this, remove the door
from the cabinet and position the door face

5. Replace the hinge plates and door(s) in the reverse order of disassembly.
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 using shims as required.
Before installing the ramp or flat threshold, seal between the bottom of the cabinet perimeter and the
floor by applying a bead of NSF-approved sealant, such as Dow Corning 732 or GE RTV108.
Cabinets equipped with flat threshold(s) must have a recessed floor (Fig. 5). The recessed floor should
3
/8" deep. This allows 1/4" for leveling shims.
