Thank you for purchasing Silver King food service equipment. Our goal is to provide our customers with the most reliable
equipment in the industry today. Please read this manual and the accompanying warranty information before operating your
new Silver King unit. Be sure to complete and mail the warranty card within 10 days of purchase to validate your warranty.

INSPECT FOR DAMAGE AND UNCRATE
Upon delivery of your new Silver King unit, uncrate at once to examine and test for possible damage following the instructions
printed on the exterior of the container. Report any damages to the carrier responsible for transportation and promptly
present a claim for any evidence of mishandling. Save all packaging materials if a claim must be filed.

INSTALLATION
The stainless steel exterior of the cabinet has been protected by a plastic covering during manufacturing and shipping. This
covering can be readily stripped before installation. After removing this covering, wash the interior and exterior surfaces using
a warm, mild soapy water solution and a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse afterward with clean water and wipe dry. Do not use
chlorinated cleaners.

Location:
When locating your new Silver King unit, convenience and accessibility are important considerations, but the following
installation guidelines must be observed;

• Always avoid locating the unit adjacent to an oven, heating element or hot air source which could adversely affect the
performance of the unit.

• The unit must be level.

• For proper ventilation, the bottom front of the unit must not be obstructed.

Legs/Casters:
Models without a base come with Legs or Casters. To install them, tilt the unit and thread the Legs or Casters into the four
Rivnuts in the bottom of the cabinet. Make sure that they are installed tightly to prevent future thread wear.

Condenser Filter Screen
On models without a base, the Condenser Filter Screen, Screen Pull and Filter Guides are packaged inside the cabinet. The
instructions for installing these parts are included in this technical manual. On models with a base, the Condenser Filter
Screen is factory mounted behind the Base Grill. Remove the Base Grill and ensure that the Condenser Filter Screen is in
place. Do not operate the unit without the filter screen installed!

Shelves:
Inside the unit you will find Shelves and a plastic bag containing Shelf Supports. The Shelf Supports with the “tang” go on the
rear Pilasters. This shelf system allows for easy adjustment to suit your needs.

Door Adjustment and Swing:
Should the door ever require straightening, loosen the screws on the hinges, square the door with the cabinet and retighten
the screws.

The mounting of the door is easily reversible on single door units should space or convenience require that you do so. Simply
remove the screws holding the hinges, rotate the door 180 degrees and relocate the hinges on the side opposite their original
location.

Drawers:

To remove the Drawers on the drawer models for cleaning, simply open them fully, push the stop levers out of the way on the
Cabinet Drawer Tracks while pulling the Drawer out. To reinstall the Drawer, line up the Drawer Tracks on the cabinet and the
Drawer and push the Drawer into the cabinet. The Drawer Pan can be removed by lifting it out with the Drawer extended.

Electrical Connections:
Be sure to check the data plate, located on the liner of the cabinet, for required voltage prior to connecting the unit to a power
source. The specifications on the data plate supersede any future discussion.

The standard unit is equipped with an eight (8) foot power cord that requires a 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, 1 Phase properly grounded
electrical receptacle. The power cord comes with a 3 prong plug for grounding purposes. Any attempt to cut off the grounding
spike or to connect to an ungrounded adapter plug will void the warranty, terminate the manufacturers responsibility and could result
in serious injury.

The circuit must be protected with a 15 or 20 ampere fuse or breaker. The unit must be isolated on a circuit and not plugged into an
extension cord.

OPERATION
Initial Start Up:

After satisfying the installation requirements, the unit is ready to start. The unit will start when the power cord is connected to the
required power source. If the compressor does not start when the unit is initially plugged in, check to make sure that the
temperature control is not in the 'off' position. Allow the unit to run a minimum of two hours before loading it with product. When
loading the unit with product, take care not to block the air flow at the back of the cabinet as this would affect the performance of the
cabinet.

Temperature Control:
The Temperature Control is located on the back wall of the cabinet liner and is factory set to maintain an average cabinet
temperature of 0 Deg. F. To obtain colder temperatures turn the Temperature Control stem clockwise and visa versa with a flat
blade screwdriver. Allow the unit a minimum of one hour to respond to a control setting adjustment.

Defrost:
Your Silver King unit is an automatic defrost unit. No additional plumbing is required. Automatic defrosting is accomplished by a
defrost heater and timer. Frost buildup on the evaporator coil is cleared at six hour intervals. Defrost water is collected in a pan
located in the compressor compartment where it is evaporated into the room air. It is important that the unit be level so the
condensate can drain properly.

MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is minimal although these few steps are very important to continued operation and maximizing the life of
the appliance.

Cabinet Surfaces:
The cabinet interior and exterior are stainless steel. These surfaces should be cleaned periodically with a solution of warm water
and mild soap. After cleaning the surfaces should be rinsed with clean water and wiped dry with a soft cloth. Stainless steel
cleaners can also be used. Should a surface become stained, do not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad.
Use a soft cleanser and rub with the grain of the metal to avoid scratching the surface. Always rinse well and dry after cleaning.
Do not use chlorinated cleaners.

Condenser
Periodically the Condenser Filter Screen must be cleaned. On cabinets without a base, the Condenser Filter Screen is located on
the bottom of the cabinet. To remove it, simply pull it out the front of the unit using the Filter Screen Pull. On cabinets with a base,
the Condenser Filter Screen is located behind the Base Grill. Simply remove the Base Grill to gain access to it. Clean the
Condenser Filter Screen by rinsing it in a stream of water. Dry the screen by tapping it on a counter or floor. On the models without
a base, replace the Condenser Filter Screen by placing it into the Filter Guides on the bottom of the unit and sliding it all the way to
the rear of the cabinet. On the models with a base, replace the Condenser Filter Screen by placing it onto the angled support and
reattaching the Base Grill. Do not operate the unit without the filter sreen installed!

Door Gasket
The Door Gasket will collect dirt and should be wiped clean with a warm, mild soapy water solution to extend its life and assure
maximum cabinet performance and life.
