Electrical Requirements
All cord-connected units should be plugged into a
grounded and properly sized electrical outlet with
appropriate overcurrent protection. Refer to the drawing
below for electrical plug configurations.
5-20P and 5-15P Electrical Plug Configurations
All permanently connected (hard wired) units are fitted
with a power junction box and 6" pigtail wires for power
connection.
Connect one end of the power line to the pigt ail from the
cabinet junction box. Connect the other end to a properly
sized electrical source.
As a rule, the power lines must be enclosed inside a
conduit secured to the power junction boxes on both
ends.
Power installation must be in compliance with the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local and
state codes.
Never use an extension cord.
Never alter the power cord or plug supplied with the
cabinet.
After the power source has been connected, turn on the
main power switch. The switch is located on the cabinet
top, behind the front louvered panel.
With the main ON/OFF switch in the ON position, the

Condensate Water Removal –
Refrigerators and Freezers
McCall cabinets are equipped with condensate vaporizer
systems.
Remote units use an electrically operated system.
Most self-contained units use energy-saving hot gas
supplied by the refrigeration system lines. No drain
connection is required.
Defrost Systems
GENERAL
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point
(32°F). During compressor “off” time, the evaporator fan
continues to circulate 38°F refrigerator compartment air
through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the
coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any
frost that may have accumulated.
The run-off water is drained into the vapo rizer pan and is
evaporated by the hot gas refrigeration line during
compressor “on” time.
Freezer coils are defrosted electrically at userdetermined times.
NOTE: A freezer’s evaporator fans do not run
immediately upon start-up or during and immediately
following the defrost cycles. The fans start when the coil
reaches a cold temperature. This prevents th e fans from
blowing heated air on the stored products.
When the defrost cycle begins:
1. Switch 2 to 4 opens in the time clock, breaking the
circuit to the room thermostat, liquid line solenoid,
and evaporator fan motors. This allows the
compressor to pump down and shut off.
Simultaneously, switch 1 to 3 closes in the timer,
energizing the defrost heaters.
2. The heaters increase the coil temperatures above
32°F, melting the frost off the coil.
3. When the coil warms to approximately 55°F, the
defrost termination thermostat closes and energizes
the switching solenoid in the timer. At this time,
switch 1 to 3 in the timer opens, terminating the
defrost heaters. Simultaneously, switch 2 to 4 closes
in the time clock, energizing the temperature contro l
circuit.
4. Suction pressure rises, the low pressure control
closes, and the compressor starts.
5. The fan relay closes when the coil temperature
reaches approximately 30°F. This energizes the fan
motors.
6. The system operates in the refrigeration cycle until
another defrost cycle is initiated by the timer.
DEFROST SETTINGS
Set the defrost timer to defrost the reach-in during
the lowest usage periods.
Each defrost tripper represents 15 minutes of defro s t
time. At the factory, the timer is set for four automatic
defrost cycles daily at 4:00AM, 10:00AM, 4:00PM, and
10:00PM respectively. Each defrost cycle is
programmed for 45 minutes duration. Upon start-up, set
the clock for the correct time of day by rotating the clock
face until the correct time is at the arrow on the face of
the timer.
NOTE: If the defrost termination thermostat fails to
close, the fail safe setting on the timer will terminate the
defrost.
The timer starts the defrost cycle automatically at
predetermined times. A setting of two to four defrost
cycles per day is typical. For heavier frost loads,
additional cycles may be required.

Temperature Controls
REFRIGERATORS AND FREEZERS
The temperature controls are factory-set to maintain an
average temperature of 38°F in refrigerators, and an
average temperature of 0°F in freezers.
The temperature variance is 6-8 degrees. A freezer
should run between -2 to -3°F and +3 to +4°F. A
refrigerator should run between +35 to +36°F and +41 to
+42°F.
For a different cabinet temperature setting, turn the
temperature control knob, located behind the front
cabinet louver.
Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting
may cause the coil and/or air ducts to freeze and ice
up. This will eventually result in a warmer cabinet
temperature.
If ice accumulation occurs and the temperature is
lower than the guidelines, turn the control knob to a
warmer setting.
Allow the reach-in to reach proper operating
temperature before filling it with product. Do not
place hot or steaming foods in the cabinet.
REACH-IN
Single-section reach-in heated cabinets are designed to
maintain a temperature of up to 170°F. Two-section and
three-section cabinets can maintain a temperature of up
to 140°F.
HEATED CABINETS
ROLL-IN HEATED CABINETS
The temperature control panel on a roll-in heated

Cleaning the Condenser Coil –
Refrigerators and Freezers
Disconnect electric power before cleaning.
For efficient operation, it is very important to clean the
condenser coil surface and keep it free of dust, dirt, and
lint. McCall recommends checking the condition of the
condenser coil once a month.
The condensing unit fan draws dust, lint and small
particles to the condenser coil, where it forms a “blanket”
on the coil surface. This is normal and should be
periodically removed.
Failure to clean and maintain the condenser coil
properly will result in reduced air circulation through
the condenser fins. This will cause reduced
efficiency, high operating pressures, and possible
shortened compressor life.
Method 1
Remove light build-up with a soft brush or a vacuum with
a brush attachment. Brush the condenser fins from top
to bottom, not from side to side. Shine a light through the
fins to check for dirt inside the condenser.
Method 2
Clean moderately dirty fins with compressed air, blowing
from the inside out. Follow by brushing, if necessary.
Method 3
Clean with a commercial condenser coil cleaner,
available from a kitchen equipment dealer. Follow the
directions and precautions supplied with the cleaner.
After cleaning, straighten any bent condenser fins with a
fin comb.
CONDENSER CLEANING PROCEDURES
One or more of the following methods may be used to
clean the condenser coil surface, depending upon the
extent of the build-up on the fins.
Condenser fins are sharp. Use care when working
around them.
