INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION

o:o The refrigeration system operates most efficiently

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

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

sides and the back of the cabinet.

o:o Select a location away from the heat and moisture

generating equipment such as stoves, ovens, etc.

°:° Avoid direct sun rays.

o:o Make sure all accessories are installed (i.e. shelves,

shelf clips, casters) before plugging the unit in.

o:o Please read through the manual in its entirety.

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 is uneven

•:. 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.

•:. 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

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 the electrical

requirement on the nameplate. Please make sure that your unit has its own dedicated outlet. Do not use an

extension cord.

The temperature controls are preset at the factory to maintain an average temperature of 38 F in

refrigerators. To maintain a different temperature, simply adjust the control knob located inside the unit.

Temperature ranges from 7 (coldest) to 1 (warmest). Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting

may cause the evaporator coil to freeze and ice up. This will eventually make the cabinet become warm, which

is not recommended.

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:

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.

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

sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIALPLATE.

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.

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, and then click loudly at the end of the cycle (Fig. B). The appliance will defrost

automatically every 12 hours 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

POWER FAILURE DO NOT open the appliance lid unnecessarily if the

appliance isoff 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

o:, Run the unit for at least 24 hours before loading.

o:o 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.

• For the best performance, maintain at least 4

inches of clearance in between the contents and the air duct.

o:o Set the shelves that come with the unit to fit your

needs.

o:o Temperature controller:

• The controller is located at the right, front

corner of the ceiling.

• Temperature is set as"4" at default.
