touch the plug with damp hands.
• Unplug the appliance before servicing.
• The appliance requires an independent
power supply of proper capacity. See the
nameplate for electrical specications.
Failure to use an independent power
supply of proper capacity can result in a
tripped breaker, blown fuse, damage to
existing wiring, or component failure. This
could lead to heat generation or re.
• THE APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED.The appliance is equipped
with a NEMA5-15 three-prong grounding
plug
shock hazards. It must be plugged into a
properly grounded, independent 3-prong
wall outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet,

• Be careful not to pinch ngers when
opening and closing the doors/drawers
or rail cover (prep table models) or when
handling food pans. Be careful when
opening and closing the doors/drawers or
rail cover when children are in the area.

cabinet temperature and could deteriorate
other foods in the cabinet or overload the
appliance.
• Food storage and handling must comply with
applicable codes and regulations.
• All foods should be wrapped in plastic lm
or stored in sealed containers. Otherwise
foods may dry up, pass their smells onto
other foods, cause frost to develop, result in
poor appliance performance, or increase the
likelihood of cross-contamination. Certain
dressings and food ingredients, if not
stored in sealed containers, may accelerate
corrosion of the evaporator, resulting in
failure.
• Do not store items near air outlets.
Otherwise, items may freeze up and
crack or break causing a risk of injury or
contamination of other food.

WARNING, continued
Additional Warnings for Prep Table
Models
• The entire rail must always be covered
by rail dividers and pans (1/6 size, up
to 6"(15cm)deep). Otherwise, the
appliance will not cool properly.
• Use only 1/6 size pans up to 6"(15cm)
deep. Do not use damaged pans.
• Ingredients must be pre-chilled to 37°F
(3°C) or less before placing in rail.
• Keep the rail cover closed when not
actively preparing food.
NOTICE
• Protect the oor when moving the
appliance to prevent damage to the oor.
• Keep ventilation openings, in the
appliance enclosure or in the built-in
structure, clear of obstruction. Do not
place anything on top of the appliance in
an undercounter installation. There must
be at least 1.5" (4 cm) overhead clearance
for proper ventilation. The factory-installed
rear bumpers must be in place to ensure
proper rear clearance. Blockage of airow
could negatively affect performance and
damage the appliance.
• The rail is for keeping ingredients cool
while preparing food. If not actively
preparing food for a long period such
as overnight, seal pans with plastic
wrap in addition to closing the rail cover.
Depending on conditions, the cabinet
temperature setting may need to be
adjusted to prevent items from freezing.
Alternatively, seal ingredients and store
them in a refrigerator or freezer.
• Do not allow the appliance to bear any
outside weight.
• To prevent deformation or cracks, do not
spray insecticide onto the plastic parts or
let them come into contact with oil.
• To avoid damage to the gasket, use only
the door/drawer handle when opening
and closing.
• To avoid damage to the top seal, do not lift
the appliance by the top panel or remove
the top panel.
Additional Notice for Prep Table

• Do not place anything on top of the rail
hood or rail cover and do not lift the
appliance by the rail hood or rail cover.
The rail hood and rail cover are not
designed to bear any outside weight.
