RECEIVING AND INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT

Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should be taken during unloading so the equipment is not
damaged while being moved into the building.

1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or container. Any damage should be noted on the
delivery slip and reported to MVP Group immediately at 1-888-275-4538; 514-737-9701.

2. If damaged, open and inspect the contents with the carrier.

3. WITHIN 48 HOURS OF RECEIPT: In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet upon opening, there is
concealed damage to the equipment, notify MVP Group immediately at 1-888-275-4538; 514-737-9701.

4. Be certain to check the compressor compartment housing and visually inspect the refrigeration package. Be
sure lines are secure and base is still intact.

5. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made or waived.

INSTALLATION

Location

Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor
strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded unit can weigh as much
as 1500 pounds. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the most efficient
refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.

Inside cabinet

Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of the
unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this
air flow can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the evaporator
drain pan. However, bags and other items can still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. Air is brought into
the evaporator coil with fans. Prevent any obstruction from blocking the outlet or inlet of air flow.

Outside cabinet

Be sure that the unit has adequate air circulation around it. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and
ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2" from any wall

Leveling

Levelling the cabinet is necessary so that the drawers will line up with the frames properly. Use a level to make
sure the unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units supplied with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to
make the necessary adjustments. If the unit is supplied with casters, no adjustments are available. Ensure the
floor where the unit is to be located is level.

Stabilizing

All models are supplied with casters for your convenience. It is very important, however, that the cabinet be
installed in a stable condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24 hours before
start-up to allow compressor oil to flow back to place. Failure to meet this requirement can cause compressor
failure and unit damage.

Warranty Repairs will be declined if problems are caused by improper installation.

NOTE

Electrical connection

Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure
the unit is connected to the proper power source. Each unit must be plugged on a dedicated electric circuit.. Do
not use an extension cord. An external electrical surge protector may be required. (not included)

DANGER

The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
