SELF CONTAINED (LOCATION)
SM / SN models have a condensing unit that
draws ambient air through one side of the unit
and discharges hot air out by the opposite side.
In order to maintain refrigeration performance
and compressor life, a minimum space of
4 inches must be maintained between the
merchandiser and surrounding surfaces.
For California Businesses:
This product may contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
This warning is the result of the California State
law known as the California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, which is
commonly referred to as “Proposition 65.”
This warning does not mean that Hussmann
products will cause cancer or reproductive
harm, or is in violation of any product-safety
standards or requirements. As claried by the
California State government, Proposition 65
can be considered more of a ‘right to know’ law
than a pure product safety law. When used as
designed, Hussmann believes that our products
are not harmful. We provide the Proposition 65
warning to stay in compliance with California
State law. It is your responsibility to provide
accurate Proposition 65 warning labels to your
customers when necessary. For more information
on Proposition 65, please visit the California
State government website.
SN models are designed for low temperature
application and can be used for frozen
food products. These models have glass lids
with coating that maintains the lids free of
condensation.
SM models are open-top merchandisers,
designed for low temperature operation. These
models are designed with
a cold wall refrigeration system. The air
circulation inside the merchandiser is
provided by natural convection.
UNLOADING
Unloading from Trailer:
Use a Lever Bar (also known as a Mule,
Johnson Bar, J-bar, Lever Dolly, or Pry
Lever).
Move the merchandiser as close as possible to
its permanent location and remove all packaging.
Check for damage before discarding packaging.
Remove all separately packed accessories such
as kits and shelves.
EXTERIOR LOADING
Do NOT walk on top of merchandisers or
damage to the merchandisers and serious
personal injury could occur.
such as the weight of a person. Do not place
heavy objects on the merchandiser.
SHIPPING SKID
Each merchandiser is shipped on a skid to
protect the merchandiser’s base, and to make
positioning the case easier.
Remove the skid by raising one end of the
merchandiser approximately 6 inches. Block
the merchandiser securely, and remove the two
skid bolts from the raised end. Replace the
bolts with (provided) leg levelers. Repeat this
procedure at opposing end. Once the leg levelers
are secured in place, the merchandiser may be
slid off the skid and placed in its final location.
DO NOT TILT MERCHANDISER ON ITS
SIDE OR END WHEN REMOVING SKID.
Improper handling may cause damage to
the merchandiser when unloading. To avoid
damage:
1. Do not drag the merchandiser out of the
trailer. Use a Johnson bar (mule).
2. Use a forklift or dolly to remove the
merchandiser from the trailer.
Do NOT stand or walk on top of
merchandiser. Do not store items or
ammable materials atop the unit.
HUSSMANN CORPORATION • BRIDGETON, MO 63044-2483 U.S.A.
Once the skid is removed, the merchandiser
must be lifted —NOT PUSHED— to reposition.
Check floor where merchandisers are to be set
to see if it is a level area. Determine the highest
part of the floor.
Do NOT remove shipping crate until the
merchandiser is positioned
for installation.

MERCHANDISER LEVELING
Besuretopositionmerchandisers
properly. Level the merchandiser by all four
corners. Merchandiser(s) must be installed
level to ensure proper operation of the
refrigeration system.
SERIAL PLATE LOCATION
The serial plate is located on the base, next to
the air intake / discharge air louvers. The serial
plate contains all pertinent refrigeration and
electrical information. The serial plate should
not be removed for any reason.
REFRIGERATION UNIT ACCESS
The access panel on the base of the cabinet
provides access to the condensing unit and
electrical box.
WASTE OUTLET
The waste outlet cap must be installed during
normal operation. This prevents warm air from
migrating back through the drain to the inside
of the merchandiser. Failure to cap the waste
outlet, could result in excessive frosting of the
interior walls.
SEALING MERCHANDISER TO FLOOR
If required by local sanitary codes, or if the
customer desires, merchandisers may be sealed
to the floor using a vinyl cove base trim. The
size needed will depend on how much variation
there is in the floor, from one end of the
merchandiser to the other. Sealing of the lower
front and rear panels on self contained models
may hamper their removal for servicing or
maintenance of the condensing unit.
NOTE: Do not allow trim to cover any intake
or discharge grilles located in the lower front
panel.
— LOCK OUT / TAG OUT —
To avoid serious injury or death from electrical
shock, always disconnect the electrical power
at the main disconnect when servicing or
replacing any electrical component. This

REFRIGERATION
(Self Contained Models)
Each self contained model is equipped
with its own condensing unit and control
panel located beneath the display area. The
correct type of refrigerant will be stamped
on each merchandiser’s serial plate. The
merchandiser refrigeration piping is leak
tested. The unit is charged with refrigerant,
and shipped from the factory with all service
valves open.
SN / SM models have a refrigeration system
that uses a hermetic compressor. SN / SM
systems use a capillary tube for refrigerant
control. The capillary tube is soldered to
the suction line pull-out coil for proper
heat exchange. If the capillary should become
plugged or damaged, it is best to replace the
heat exchanger.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
An adjustable thermostat is provided for the
operation of the case. The thermostat on the
SM-110 is located on the right side of the base.
For all other SM / SN models, it is located
on the rear at the left side of the base, next
to the access panel. The thermostat has a
control screw for temperature adjustment. The
compressor will run 100% of the time in the
full clockwise position.
