IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal
safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equip pe d w ith a 3-prong
grounding plu g that mates with a standard 3-prong g rou n din g wal l outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded. The freezer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performan c e and a l so
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Repair or
replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the freezer, be careful not to damage the
power cord.
Refrigerant Disposal
If you are throwing away your old freezer it may have a cooling system that uses “Ozone Depleting” chemicals. Make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified service technician.

NOTICE:
LOSS OR SPOILAGE OF PRODUCTS IN YOUR FREEZER IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. IN ADDITION TO
FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION PROCEDURES. PLEASE RUN THE FREEZER 24 HOURS PRIOR TO
USAGE.
Location Requirements
•Freezers represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only.
•Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents as a
fully loaded unit can weigh as much as 1500 pounds.
•Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading.
•For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet:
Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of the unit. It is
important to allow for pr oper air flow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow can cause
evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The shelves have
a rear turn up on them to prevent this. However, bags and other items c an still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. Air
is brought into the evaporator coil with fans mounted to the front of the coil.
Outside cabinet:
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer t han 2" (51mm) from any wall, a max door swing clearance of 60.5
in. (1537mm) and with at least a 12" (305mm) of clear space above the unit.

Stabilizing
All models are supplied with casters for your convenience (refer to caster installation for mounting). It is very important,
however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable condition with the front wheels locked while in use. Should it become
necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24 hours before start-up to allow compressor oil
to flow back into place. Failure to meet this requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.
NOTICE:
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit warr anties if due to improper installation procedures.
Electrical Connection
Refer to the amperage data on the Technical Information table, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical
Code to be sure that unit is connected to the proper power source.
DANGER
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area. Failure to
comply may result in Death or Severe Personnel Injury.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area. Failure to
comply may result in Death or Severe Personnel Injury.
Exterior and Interior Cleaning of Freezers
Clean using soap a nd war m w ater. If this isn't suf fic ien t, try ammonia and water or a no nab ra sive l iqu id clean er. When cleaning
the exterior, always rub with the "grain" o f the stainl e ss steel t o avoi d mar ring th e fini s h.
•Do not use an abrasive clean er becau se it will scratch the stainle ss steel and plasti c and can damage the breaker strip s
and gaskets.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
Regular cleaning is recommended every 90 days. In some instances, you may find that there is a large amount of debris and
dust or grease accumulated prior to the 90 day time frame. In these cases the condenser coil should be cleaned every 30
days.
If the buildup on the coil consists of only light dust and debris, the condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple brush. Heavier
dust build-up may require a vacuum or even compressed air to blow through the condenser coil.
If heavy grease is present, there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically for the condenser coils.
The condenser coil may require cleaning with the de-greasing agent and then blown through with compressed air.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times. Continuous
operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures. Neglecting the condenser coil cleaning
procedures will void any warranties associated with the compressor or cost to replace the compressor.
•For efficient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
•We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
•Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner and a soft brush, available from any commercial
refrigeration equipment retailer, or vacuuming the condenser with a shop vac or use CO2.
CAUTION
Never use a high pressure water wash for this cleaning procedure as water can damage
the electrical components located near or at the condenser coil.
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the condenser fins must be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease
regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least every three months. If conditions are such that the condenser is
totally blocked in three months, the frequency of cleaning should be increased. Clean the condenser with a vacuum
cleaner or stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a commercial-grade condenser cleaner may be required.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont.)
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
To prevent rust or discoloration on stainless steel several important steps need to be taken. First, we need to understand the
properties of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron which will rust. It also contains 12-30% chromium which
forms an invisible passive film over the steels surface which acts as a shield against corrosion. As long as the protective layer
is intact, the metal is still stainless. If the film is broken or contaminated, outside elements can begin to breakdown the steel
and begin to form rust or discoloration.
CAUTION
Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic scouring pads, never use
steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers!
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-chlori de bas ed . Any cleaner containing chlorides will damage the
protective film of the stainless steel. If cleaners containing chlorides are used, be sure to rinse and dry thoroughly.
Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done with soap and water. Extreme stains or grease should be cleaned with a
non-abrasive cleaner and plastic scrub pad. It is always good to rub with the grain of the steel. There are also stainless
steel cleaners available which can restore and preserve the finish of the steel’s protective layer.
Early signs of stainless steel breakdown can consist of small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly and start
to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to restore the passivity of the steel.
CAUTION
Never use an acid based cleaning solution!Many food products have an acidic content which
can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the stainless steel surfaces of ALL food products.
Gasket Maintenance
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to keep the elasticity of the gasket.
Gasket cleaning can be done with the use of warm soapy water. Avoid full strength cleaning products on gaskets. Do not
use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and don’t require the use of tools or authorized service technicians. The gaskets are
"Dart" style and can be pulled out of the grove in the door and replaced by pressing the new one back into place.
Doors/Hinges
If the door is beginning to sag, tighten the screws that mount the hinge brackets to the frame of the unit. If the doors are
loose or sagging, this can cause the hinge to pull out of the frame which may damage both doors and door hinges.
Drain Maintenance
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from the evaporator coil and evaporates it into
an external condensate evaporator pan. The drain can become loose or disconnected. If you notice excessive water
accumulation on the inside of the unit, be sure the drain tube is connected from the evaporator housing to the condensate
evaporator drain pan.
If water starts to collect underneath the unit, check the condensate evaporator drain tube to be sure it is still located inside
the drain pan.
If your floor is not level, this can also cause drain problems. Be sure all drain lines are free of obstructions because this may
cause water to back up and overflow the drain pans.
