1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The following instructions contain important safety precautions and should be strictly observed. The terms used here are defined as follows:

WARNING: There is a possibility of death or serious injury for the service person and a third party or the user due to improper service operations or defects in serviced products.

CAUTION: There is a possibility of injury for the service person and a third party or the user or damage to their property* due to improper service operations or defects in serviced products.

*The term “damage to their property” here refers to extensive damage to household effects, houses and pets.

WARNING

1.Always ask the user to keep children away from the work area. They may be injured by tools or disassembled products.

2.When there is no need to energize the unit during disassembly or cleaning, be sure to unplug the unit or disconnect the main power supply before servicing the unit to prevent electric shocks.

3.If the unit must be energized for inspection of the electric circuit, use rubber gloves to avoid contact with any live parts resulting in electric shocks.

4.Keep the following in mind when servicing the refrigeration circuit:

(1)Be sure to recover the refrigerant. Do not discharge it into the atmosphere. It will affect the environment.

(2)Check for any flames in the vicinity, and ensure good ventilation.

(3)If the refrigerant should leak in servicing, immediately put out any fire used in the vicinity.

(4)When unbrazing the refrigeration circuit connections, check that the circuit is completely evacuated. The refrigerant may produce a poisonous gas when coming in contact with an open flame.

(5)Do not braze in an enclosed room to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

(6)In case of a refrigerant leak, locate and repair the leaking part completely. Leaked refrigerant may produce a poisonous gas when coming in contact with an open flame.

(7)Before servicing, check the surface temperature of the refrigeration circuit to prevent a burn.

5.Keep the following in mind when making electrical connections:

(1)Check for proper grounding connections, and repair if necessary to prevent electric shocks.

(2)Always use service parts intended for the applicable model for replacement of defective parts. Use proper tools to secure the wiring. Otherwise abnormal operation or trouble may occur and cause electric leaks or fire.

(3)Check for proper part installations, wiring conditions and soldered or solderless terminal connections to avoid fire, heat or electric shocks.

(4)Be sure to replace damaged or deteriorated power cords and lead wires to prevent fire, heat or electric shocks.

(5)Cut-off lead wires must be bound using closed end connectors or the like, with their closed ends up to avoid entrance of moisture that could lead to electric leaks or fire.

(6)After servicing, always use a megohmmeter (500V DC) to check for the insulation resistance of at least 1 megohm between the live part (attachment plug) and the dead metal part (grounding terminal).

(7)Do not service the electrical parts with wet hands to prevent electric shocks.

(8)The capacitors used for the compressor and other components may be under high voltage and should be discharged properly before servicing.

CAUTION

1.After servicing, follow the instructions below:

(1)Check for water leaks in the water supply and drain pipes to prevent damage to the vicinity including household effects.

(2)Always check the unit for proper operation before finishing services.

(3)Be sure to reassemble the parts completely. Loose assembly of such parts as control box cover may cause entrance of vermins resulting in a short circuit between terminals and possible ignition.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

Hoshizaki Counter Showcase is intended for temporary food display.

Constructed with much glass, this showcase gives relatively insufficient heat insulation and poor cooling performance compared with refrigerators in general.

For safe and efficient operation, be sure to follow the instructions below.

1)Do not leave foods in the showcase after service hours, or they may dry or spoil. Foods that should not dry must be covered or wrapped up in a plastic film.

2)Store only pre-refrigerated items in the showcase. It takes longer for foods to cool in the showcase than in a refrigerator.

3)Do not leave the doors open or open them too frequently. The interior temperature may rise, resulting in food deterioration.

4)Do not pack the showcase with foods. The cooling performance may reduce, resulting in food deterioration.

5)The showcase should not be exposed to direct sunlight or located next to ovens, grills or other high heat producing equipment. The interior temperature may rise, resulting in food deterioration.

6)The ambient temperature should not exceed 30°C. The cooling performance may reduce, resulting in food deterioration.

7)The food mount can be used on either side. The food temperature is controllable by turning over the food mount to change the distance from the interior bottom.

Normal condition
When food temperature is too low	For more intensive cooling

8)The maximum safe height for displaying food products is 3.5” (9 cm) above the interior bottom. Food products should not be placed above this height as they may not remain cold enough to avoid spoilage.
