INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Master-Bilt cabinet. This manual contains important instructions for installing, using and
servicing a Master-Bilt DD case. A parts list is included in with this manual. Read all these documents carefully
before installing or servicing your equipment.

STORE CONDITIONS

The Master-Bilt DD cases are designed to operate in the controlled environment of an air-conditioned store. The
store temperature should be at or below 75°F and a relative humidity of 55% or less. At higher temperature or
humidity conditions, the performance of these cases may be affected and the capacity diminished. It is not
uncommon in a newly constructed store for the temperature and humidity to be above design conditions. These
excessive conditions may produce sweating in the case until the store is operational and the ambient environment is
more desirable.

The Master-Bilt DD should not be positioned where it is directly exposed to rays of sun or near a direct source of
radiant heat or airflow. This will adversely affect the case and will result in poor performance.

NOTICE

Read this manual before installing your cabinet. Keep the manual and refer to it before doing any service
on the equipment. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the cabinet.

DANGER

Improper or faulty hook-up of electrical components of the refrigeration units can result in severe injury or
death.

All electrical wiring hook-ups must be done in accordance with all applicable local, regional or national
standards.

NOTICE

Installation and service of the refrigeration and electrical components of the cabinet must be performed by
a refrigeration mechanic and/or a licensed electrician

The portions of this manual covering refrigeration and electrical components contain technical instructions intended
only for persons qualified to perform refrigeration and electrical work.
This manual cannot cover every installation, use or service situation. If you need additional information have the
serial number at hand and call or write us:

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSPECTION FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

You are responsible for filing all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons and crates for
damage as soon as they arrive. If damage is noted to shipping crates or cartons or if a shortage is found, note this
on the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing.

If damage is discovered when the cabinet is uncrated, immediately call the delivering truck line and follow up the call
with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for an immediate inspection of your
concealed damage item. Crating material must be retained to show the inspector from the truck line.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure the equipment is properly installed by competent service people.

2. Keep the equipment clean and sanitary so it will meet your local sanitation codes.

3. Rotate your stock so that older stock does not accumulate. This is especially important for ice
cream. A "First-In, First-Out" rotation practice will keep the products in good salable condition.

4. Do not place product in the case when it is soft or partially thawed. Also, product should not be put in the case for
at least 6 hours after it is started.

5. Stock cases as quickly as possible, exposing only small quantities to store temperatures for short periods of
time.

6. When replacing burned out fluorescent tubes, be sure that the electrical power to the lighting circuit is turned off.

NOTICE TO STORE OWNERS / MANAGERS

Moisture or liquid around or under the cabinet is a potential slip/fall hazard for persons walking by or
working in the general area of the cabinet. Any cabinet malfunction or housekeeping problem that creates a
slip/fall hazard around or under the cabinet should be corrected immediately.

If moisture or liquid is observed around or under a Master-Bilt cabinet, an immediate investigation should be made
by qualified personnel to determine the source of the moisture or liquid. The investigation should determine if the
cabinet is malfunctioning or if there is a drainpipe leaking.

ELECTRICAL

WARNING

Before servicing electrical components in the case, make sure all power to case is off. Always use a
qualified technician.

NOTICE

For mode

ls with electronic ballast only:

For replacement ballast, use only ballast that complies with UL Type CC rating if unit is equipped with
electronic ballast.

MECHANICAL

Punch

Mark

Remove grille and check refrigeration lines to see that they are free (not touching each other or
compressor). Spin condenser fan blade to see that it is free.

Check that all service valves are open.The picture below is Master-Bilt’s standard DD-Unit. The compressor is
hermetic, it is internally spring mounted and ready to run.

Hermetic Compressors

Remove cabinet from crate base and slide into location. Cabinet must be level from side to side and front to back.

To comply with Sanitation requirements the cabinet must be mounted on legs (6” high min.) or casters or the base
must be sealed to the floor with an N.S.F. listed silicone sealant.

STARTUP

Uncoil the lead cord and pass it through the hole provided in the grill. While the cabinet is in operation, check the
voltage draw and the amperage draw versus this rating on the nameplate. Voltage should be checked at the
compressor terminals while the compressor is initially starting. The unit is designed to operate at +/- 10% of 115
volts, 60 cycle, single phase. This means that the voltage should be between 103 and 126.5 volts.
After the cabinet has pulled down in temperature to approximately 0°F at load line, check the thermostatic control by
turning it to its warmest position. This should shut the compressor off. Also check that the double pole single throw
switch turns the compressor off only. A separate 20 amp. fuse circuit for each cabinet is recommended to avoid the
possibility of other appliances on a circuit from overloading and causing a malfunction. Make sure that the electrical
service is grounded upon installation.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The DD cabinet has a temperature control that is adjustable from #1
(warmest setting) to # 9 (coldest setting). Turn the control knob in line with
the punch mark to the desired setting. The temperature control is located
near the condensing unit at the bottom of the cabinet.

CLEANING

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE FROST WITH A KNIFE, PICK, OR SHARP OBJECTS. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE
CLEANERS OR CAUSTIC CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS

Every 30 to 60 days (depending on frost accumulation), the cabinet should be emptied, warmed up, and wiped down
using a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 quart of water. This solution will help eliminate odors. Do not
use strong soaps or detergents as they leave odors that can contaminate your product. The DD line cabinets are
equipped with a floor drain that exits out the lower rear of the cabinet. This exit has a convenient garden hose
fitting.
If it is not convenient to turn the power off the cabinet, lay a piece of plastic sheeting on the floor of the cabinet and
scrape the frost off walls using a plastic scraper. Do not use metal scrapers. This will damage the interior paint of
the cabinet.

Lid Removal and Cleaning

The lid can be remove by lifting up and out (see picture). The
lid is a high-impact plastic. Wash with warm soapy
water or non-abrasive detergent to avoid scratching.

Can Holder Assembly Removal and Cleaning (Optional)

Remove plastic can clamp by screwing knob off the threaded
shaft. Wash the can holder and can clamp with a non-abrasive
detergent to maintain sanitary gloss. Remove the shaft by
loosening the wing nut and unscrewing the shaft from the shelf.
Wash the shaft and shelf using a non-metallic brush.

Frost-Shield Removal and Cleaning (optional)

When the frost-shields accumulate approximately ½ to 1
inch of frost (about two to three days), remove it by lifting
up to disengage from the keyhole slot. Remove the frost
by holding under running water until clean. Dry and
replace the frost-shield by engaging screws at the big end
of the keyhole and push down.
