AIR-THRU
MILK COOLER
Installation, Operation and
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 Nor-Lake Manufacturing
Facility and has been crated in accordance with transportation rules and guidelines.
Manufacturer is not responsible for freight loss or damage.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The self contained refrigeration system located at the end of the cabinet requires free
air access for proper operation. There must be a minimum four inch clearance between
the sides and a wall. These guidelines must be followed for cabinets with casters or
legs.

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 power any unit. 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 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 on the end 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.
The refrigeration system on this cabinet uses a temperature thermostat that senses the
cut-in and cut-out temperatures of the evaporator coil. The temperature can be
adjusted by turning the thermostat control which is located inside the cabinet.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC CLEANING
Beginning with the initial installation, the interior surfaces of the cabinet should be
periodically wiped down with a solution of warm water and baking soda. This solution
will remove any odors from spillage that has occurred. The exterior of the cabinet
should also be cleaned frequently with a commercial grade glass cleaner or with mild
soap and water. Never, under any circumstances, use an abrasive cleaner or alkaline
solution.
Monthly cleaning of the condenser will aid the heat transfer characteristics of the
refrigeration system and increase its efficiency. To accomplish this, remove the
louvered panel from the cabinet and use a wire brush to loosen any dirt particles that
are attached to the fins. After this is accomplished, use a vacuum cleaner to remove
the loosened particles.
All moving parts have been permanently lubricated and will generally require no
maintenance.
