Maintenance Instructions

INSPECTION

When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the bill of
lading to insure all crates and cartons have been received. All units should be inspected
for concealed damage by uncrating the units immediately. If any damage is found, it
should be reported to the carrier at once, and a claim should be filed with the carrier. This
equipment has been inspected and tested in the manufacturing facility and has been crated
in accordance with transportation rules and guidelines. Manufacturer is not responsible for
freight loss or damage.

INSTALLATION

GENERAL

If casters are installed, care should be taken when removing the unit from the crate base.
The unit is heavy and can present a hazard if not handled with care. Remove the unit crate
and crate base. Discard hardware used to secure the cabinet to the crate base. Ensure that
at least two persons are available to install the casters. Lay the cabinet on its back to
create access to the cabinet bottom. Attach the casters to the cabinet base using the
factory installed screws as shown below.
Remove the ¼ x 20 x ¾ screws (4 per
caster) that are factory installed. Position the
caster and reinstall. Ensure that the locking
casters are installed on the front of the
cabinet. After installation is complete, return
the cabinet to its upright position. The
cabinet should set in the upright position for
at least one hour prior to energizing. This is
required to allow the refrigeration to settle to
its normal state. The cabinet should also be
levelled when it is placed in its permanent
location.

If the doors are out of alignment on the cabinet, the doors can be adjusted. This can be
accomplished by opening the door(s) and loosening the screws that hold both the top and
bottom hinges to the cabinet. After adjusting the door so that it is aligned correctly, tighten
the screws to securely hold the hinges in place.

ELECTRICAL

Check the proposed outlet to be used to insure that the voltage, phase and current carrying
capacity of the circuit from the electrical panel correspond to the requirements of the
cabinet. NEVER use an extension cord to wire any unit. On permanently connected units,
those not furnished with a plug-in service cord, all inter-wiring between the electrical panel
and the unit must be done in accordance with the National Electric Code and all state and
local codes. Refer to the serial tag for all pertinent electrical information.

Observe all Warning Labels. Disconnect power supply to eliminate injury from
electrical shock or moving parts when servicing equipment.

GENERAL OPERATION

The refrigerators and freezers employ a unit cooler evaporator located inside the cabinet as
the heat removing source. Through the refrigeration process, heat is captured in the
evaporator, transferred to the condensing unit in the bottom of the cabinet, and expelled to
the surrounding outside air. It is extremely important to allow a four (4) inch clearance on
the top, rear, and sides of the unit for the refrigeration process to function properly.

These refrigerators and freezers utilize a programmable controller to control the
temperature and defrost settings. The controller, which is located on the facade of
the unit, is factory set. Please see the default settings sheet and separate
instructions that are included on the operation of this controller.

REFRIGERATORS

During the operation of a refrigerator unit, frost will periodically form on the coil surface.
Each time the compressor cycles "off", the evaporator fans will continue to run, which will
keep the internal temperature uniform and at the same time remove any frost build up on
the coil. The water produced will collect in the unit cooler drain pan and travel down the
drain tube to the condensate vaporizer.

FREEZERS

After shutting the door on freezer models, a short amount of time must be allowed before
the door can be reopened. This is due to the tight seal maintained between the door and
the cabinet. Waiting a few moments for the pressure to equalize permits the door to be
opened easily.
