INSTRUCTIONS

1.

INSPECTION --

Inspect the carton and water cooler for evidence of rough handling and

concealed damage. Damage claims should be filed with the carrier.

2.

MAINTENANCE (Chilled Units Only) --

The only maintenance operation required is the
removal of dirt and lint from the condenser. Inspection should be done every three months.
Disconnect the power supply cord, then clean the condenser with a small stiff non-wire
brush when required. Observance of this procedure will ensure adequate air circulation
through the condenser so operation is efficient and economical.

3.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION (Chilled Units Only) --

The compressor motor is equipped
with an automatic reset protector which will disconnect the motor from the line in case of an
overload.

4.

LUBRICATION (Chilled Units Only) --

This unit is equipped with a hermetically sealed
compressor and requires no additional lubrication. The fan motor on this unit seldom
needs oiling, but if required, a few drops of SAE 10 oil should be used.
