CABINET LOCATION GUIDELINES

o:o Install the unit on strong and leveled surfaces

• Unit may make unpleasant noises if surface

is uneven

• Unit may malfunction if surface isuneven

o:o Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated

area

• Unit performs more efficiently in a well-
ventilated area

• For best performance, please maintain
clearance of 4" on the back of the unit.

• Outdoor use may cause decreased
efficiency and damage to the unit.

o:o Avoid installation in a high humidity and/or

dusty area

• Humidity could cause unit to rust and
decrease efficiency of the unit

• Dust collected on the condenser coil will

cause unit to malfunction. Clean the
condenser at least once a month with a

brush or a clean cloth.

o:o Select a location away from heat and

moisture-generating equipment

• High ambient temperatures will cause the
compressor to overwork, leading to higher

energy bills and gradual breakdown of the

unit

o:. The refrigeration system operates most

efficiently when installed in an area with cool,
dry air circulation.

o:. There must be at least 6 inches of clearance on

both sides and the back of the cabinet.

o:. Select a location away from the heat and

moisture generating equipment such as stoves,
ovens, etc.

ELECTRICAL

Please ensure that the required voltage of the
compressor is being supplied at all times. Low or

high voltage can detrimentally affect the
refrigeration unit. All units should be plugged into a

grounded and properly sized electrical outlet with
appropriate overcurrent protection. Please refer to

Appliance Start-up

Once the appliance has been located in its
permanent location and the proper power and

grounding has been provided, the following items
must be checked or completed:

after the first defrost cycle.

Routine Maintenance

Cleaning the Interior

Be sure to turn the temperature control to "OFF"
and unplug the electrical cord. Wash the inside

surface of the storage area with warm water and
baking soda solution (about one tablespoon of

baking soda per quart of warm water). Rinse
thoroughly with clean, warm water and wipe dry.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the cabinet exterior occasionally with a cloth
dampened in mild detergent and water. Rinse and

wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use razor blades
or other sharp instruments that can scratch the

appliance surface when removing adhesive labels.
Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a

mixture of warm water and mild detergent or touch
the residue with the stickyside of tape already

removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIALPLATE.

Cool Down Period

For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the
appliance to cool down completely before loading

with food. The appliance will run continuously for
the first several hours. Do not place any food in the

appliance until after the first 24 hours of operation.

Thermostat Setting

The appliance is shipped from the factory with the
thermostat set at about the midpoint of the

operating range. Adjustments colder or warmer can
be made after the appliance has been running for at

least 8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for temperature
stabilization before readjusting the thermostat.

Defrost Setting

The appliance is designed to defrost automatically
every 12 hours. To set the time of defrost, wait until

the desired time to defrost. With the notch on the
timer knob aligned with the line on the bracket (Fig.
A), turn the defrost timer knob clockwise slowly.

The timer will click several times, then once loudly,
at which point the defrost cycle begins. The timer

knob will advance through the defrost cycle, then
click loudly at the end of the cycle (Fig. B). The

appliance will defrost automatically every 12 hours

Condensate Pan

Some models have a condensate pan in a fixed
position located behind the toe grill. This must not

be removed from under the cabinet. If the pan is

removed, condensate will drop onto the floor.

POWER FAILURE
DO NOT open the appliance lid unnecessarily if the

appliance is off for several hours. If a power failure

occurs, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into
the appliance every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow

Pages under "Dry Ice", "Dairies", or "Ice Cream
Manufacturers" for local dry ice suppliers. Always
wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice.

Operation

Run the unit for at least 24 hours before
loading.

When loading the unit:

• Be careful not to block the air duct located
at the back and the fan on the ceiling of the

unit with contents.

• Blocking the air flow may cause decrease in
performance.
