Preparing the Cabinet – Flat Top Bottle Coolers

Uncrating and Inspection

Remove all crating material before operating.
Carefully inspect cabinet for hidden damage.
If damage is discovered, file your claim immediately
with the transport company. Perlick is not
responsible for damage in transit.

Plumbing

No plumbing connections are required. Condensate
from the cooling coil automatically evaporated
through a condensate pan located in the
condensing unit section.

Electrical

The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see Electrical Specification
Plate) and grounded in accordance with National
and Local Electrical Codes.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate the equipment
on any other power source than that listed on the
Electrical Specification Plate.

Placing the Cabinet

To assure maximum performance, fresh air must
be allowed to circulate through the machinery
compartment. It is important to allow at least two
inches of clearance at the back or left end of the
cabinet. Do not place anything in front of the
cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles.
Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.

CAUTION:
Removing the factory installed back clearance
spacers without providing proper left side grill
clearance for compressor air flow will void
the warranty.

Cabinet should be leveled.
For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to

seal the base of the cabinet to the floor. This
can be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone
sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown
by the figure below.

Adjustable Partitions

Perlick Bottle Coolers are provided with adjustable
partitions which will accommodate various bottle
sizes.

■ Remove bottles and cans from their cases
before placing in cooler to ensure proper
air flow.

■ On 2’ and 3’ models keep air intake open for
proper circulation.

Installing Casters or Legs (optional)

Attach casters or legs to the cabinet bottom in holes
provided. Use the supplied
tapping machine screws. If unit is tipped on its back
for an extended period of time, wait 24 hours after
unit is uprighted to plug the unit in.

How To Operate – Flat Top Bottle Coolers

Temperature Control

An adjustable temperature control is located inside
the Bottle Cooler on the evaporator fan panel
assembly. It is factory set at “Normal” approximately
38° F. Make adjustments as shown to attain the
desired temperature.
NOTE: Atemperature setting that is too low will not
allow enough condensing unit “off” time to maintain
a frost-free coil.

Colder Temperatures: Turn the adjusting

■

screw clockwise (to the right).

■ Warmer Temperatures: Turn the adjusting

screw counterclockwise (to the left).

■ Temperature Control “OFF”: Turn the

adjusting screw completely counterclock­wise to the “O” position until a “click” is
noted.

The condenser fan motor turns off and on with
the compressor. The evaporator fan motor runs
continuously.

Cleaning the Condenser:

■ The condenser (located behind the front

grille) should be inspected every 30 days,

and cleaned, if necessary. Failure to keep
the condenser clean will cause a loss in
condensing unit efficiency, or compressor
failure.

Cleaning the Doors:

■ Doors should be periodically removed from the
cabinet and inspected for a buildup of foreign
materials, such as syrups, beer, etc. Buildups
on the underside of the doors, along with the
cabinet breaker strips on which they ride, will
cause them to bind, and therefore, not function
as designed. If dirty, these surfaces should be
cleaned with a mild detergent and water and
then coated with a silicone lubricating material.
Aerosol silicone sprays can be obtained locally
at most department or automotive stores.

To remove doors:

■ With door closed, lift it upward by its handle and
slide forward until door clears the cabinet top.
Use the reverse procedure to reinstall the doors.

Cleaning the Cabinet:

■ Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and
water to clean the inside and outside of the
cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Do not allow cleaning
agents or large amounts of water to go down
the drain. Use an acceptable stainless steel
polish to clean all stainless steel surfaces.
Never use steel wool or scouring pads to clean
stainless steel.

Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion

Corrosion can be prevented by following product cautions, cleaning instructions and avoiding use of certain
chemicals or objects which will cause stainless steel corrosion.

STAINLESS STEEL ENEMY

■ Steel wool or steel scouring pads

■ Cherry/Orange/Olive juice

■ Chlorine Bleach

■ Sharp Objects
