INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Master-Bilt cabinet. This manual contains important instructions for installing,
using and servicing a Master-Bilt GT 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 GT 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 GT 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.
The Master-Bilt GT cabinets may be placed directly against the wall. This is due to the cabinet’s condenser
cooling air entering and discharging through the front grille.
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 sellable 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.
ELECTRICAL INFROMATION AND GROUNDING
A separate circuit for each cabinet is recommended to avoid the possibility of other appliances on a circuit to one
of these cabinets overloading that circuit and causing malfunction. The electrical service should be grounded
upon installation.
6
MECHANICAL
Leveling Cabinet
Level the cabinet so as to insure proper drainage of the drain pan and proper operation of the lids and
refrigeration system. The GT cabinet condenser has cooling air entering and discharging through the front
grille. This allows the cabinet to be placed against a wall or solid object without blocking the flow of condenser
air.
To comply with Sanitation requirements, the cabinet must be mounted on legs (6” high minimum) or the base
must be sealed to the floor using N.S.F. listed RTV silicone sealant. Minimum clearance as follows: 0” rear
and side, top and front are open required for compliance.
Grille Removal And Compressor Check
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 (2) are open. The springs are secured for shipping by either tightening
bolts or shipping strap. Remove the strap or loosen the hold-down bolts so that the compressor floats
freely.
Semi-Hermetic Compressor
STARTUP
FAN OPERATION AND VIBRATION; VOLTAGE CHECK
Uncoil the lead cord and pass it through the hole provided in the cover. While the cabinet is in operation,
check the voltage draw and the amperage draw versus this rating on the nameplate. Check for fan noise and
vibration, while the fan is running. 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 cycles, and single
phase. This means that the voltage should be between 103 and 126.5 volts.
THEROMSTAT CHECK
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 main
double-pole double throw toggle switch turns the refrigeration system and cabinet lights. A separate circuit for
each cabinet is recommended to avoid the possibility of other appliances on a circuit overloading the circuit
and causing a malfunction. Make sure that the electrical service is grounded upon installation.
7
DEFROST AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL
r
SETTINGS
The GT 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.
Punch Mark
The unit defrost is controlled by a timer in the
control box. After removing the condenser grille,
the control box will slide out until the defrost timer
is visible. The factory set defrost is two times in 24
hours with a maximum timed interval of 30
minutes. The unit contains a defrost termination
sensor so in actual use the defrost time will be less
than 30 minutes in most cases. The timer can be
converted to operate for a timed defrosts
termination by disconnecting the blue/white from
the X terminal. NOTE: When disconnected, it is
recommended that the terminal be cut off of the
blue/white wire and the wire end be capped with a
wire nut.
30 minutes
Pointe
The defrost time is set by switching a white key from the
center to the outside edge of the dial. Each key is 15
minutes so two successive keys must be switched outward for a 30 minute maximum time defrost. If it is
noted that more defrost time is needed, then switch outward the third successive key for a 45-minute
maximum timed defrost. If another defrost in 24 hours is needed then more keys can be switched outward as
needed. If possible, try to keep defrosts evenly spaced in a 24 hour period.
The current time can be set by turning the outer dial in the direction of the arrow until the correct clock time is
shown and the small arrow aligns with either the AM or PM scale.
30 Minutes
NOTE: The cabinet serial number for the GT is on the data plate located on the end opposite the
condensing unit.

AUTOMATIC EXPANSION VALUE GT SERIES CABINETS
After the cabinet has been in operation for a short time the high pressure or discharge pressure of the
refrigeration system should be 250 pisg to 270 pisg in a 75
compressor should be approximately 7 to 9 pisg *** . The cabinet does not have to be at operation
temperatures for the pressures to stabilize. The automatic expansion valves are basically preset and should
not need any adjustment for proper operation. If the system pressures are not correct and the valve does
need adjusting be aware that IN THE WORST CASE ONLY A VERY SMALL ADJUSTMENT MAY BE
REQUIRED. To increase the valve outlet pressure and thereby increase the suction pressure the adjusting
screw is turned in a clockwise direction as the valve is viewed with the adjusting screw pointed up. Be sure to
replace the red plastic cap covering the valve adjustment screw. After the pressure is set it SHOULD NOT
TEND TO CHANGE after additional run time or as the cabinet temperature changes. The sight glass, if install,
may not appear to be completely full. This is a normal condition. DO NOT INCREASE
quantity above the listed charge because the sight glass does not show full.
*** Units used for boxed candy display should have the expansion valve adjusted to deliver 12
to 14psig at compressor suction port, this pressure is not suitable for ice-cream.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM AND OPERATION
The cabinet utilizes a Copeland Copelametric compressor and operates with refrigerant 404A. Cabinet
operates on 115/60/1 power. The cabinet has a bare tube type condenser, which virtually eliminates the
possibility of condenser blockage by dust and dirt.
The cabinet operates with a specific charge of refrigerant 404A. The amount of the charge of refrigerant is
listed on the cabinet nameplate in ounces. These systems use an automatic expansion valve to meter
refrigerant to the evaporator. They include automatic electric defrost systems which are time initiated (by the
time clock) and terminated by a defrost termination thermostat which is mounted on a coil supporting bracket
in the gravity coil section directly beneath the top of the cabinet. This defrost termination overrides the time
clock and turns the compressor back on line when the gravity coil is defrosted. This is the point at which the
coil has reached sufficient temperature to insure complete defrost. If the defrost termination control should fail
to operate, the time clock will automatically turn off defrost and again turn on the compressor after the 34
minute (or the time interval you selected) interval set on the time clock. If the time clock fails to turn the
heaters off, a final back-up safety thermostat will shut off the heaters when gravity coil temperature reaches
o
+80
F.
Cabinet has a refrigeration system known as automatic defrost gravity coil with cold wall construction. This
means the inner liner of the cabinet below the load level line is refrigerated by gravity flow of air from a fin and
tube coil, as well as copper refrigerant lines attached to the back of the inner liner tank on all sides and the
bottom.
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
GT 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.
