Preparing the Cabinet – Single Door Freezer

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 is 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.

THE ANTI-TIP BRACKETS MUST CATCH EACH
OF THE LEVELING LEGS TO HAVE ASTABLE
AND SAFE INSTALLATION.

Some installation sites might need to be modified to
provide a secure surface for attaching the bracket.
Refer to the illustration below for anti-tip mounting
bracket locations.

NOTE: Do not extend leveler leg
more than 3/4” out of base. Do not
shim or pad to obtain levelness.

Cabinet must
have at least
5/16” clearance
from floor to
accomodate
brackets.

Placing the Cabinet

To assure maximum performance, fresh air must
be allowed to circulate through the machinery
compartment. 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.

Cabinet should be leveled front to back and side
to side.

Installing Casters or Legs (optional)

Attach casters or legs to the mounting bracket
with the lockwashers and
provided. Attach bracket and leg/caster assembly to
the side of the cabinet base using the
head self-tapping machine screws provided.

Anti-tip (without Legs or casters)

To prevent the cabinet from tipping forward and to
provide a stable installation, the cabinet must be
secured in place with an anti-tip device.

A set of metal anti-tip brackets and installation
screws (#10­brackets should be attached to the floor, at the
back of the cabinet; each bracket located to catch
each rear leveling leg when the cabinet is pushed
backward into position.

3

Sealing the Cabinet

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
between the base of the cabinet and the floor as
shown by the figure below.

When sealing the cabinet to the floor, make sure
that the louvered front grille plate can still be
removed for condenser maintenance and cleaning.

Operation Instructions – Single Door Freezer

Defrost System - Hot Gas Defrost

This system consists of a six-hour, as well as a
four-hour defrost cycle which includes a 20 minute
evaporator defrost. The six-hour defrost cycle is
manually activated and automatically terminated,
while the four-hour cycle is completely automatic.

■ The Six Hour Solid-State Defrost Timer:

This timer shuts off the power to the
condensing unit, the evaporator fan, and
the automatic four hour defrost timer.
To activate the six hour defrost system,
depress the defrost switch located on the
front grille of the cabinet. An amber light will
illuminate and the defrost cycle will begin.
When the defrost cycle ends, the light
goes off and the cabinet resumes normal
operation. To manually cancel the defrost
cycle, momentarily turn off the electricity to
the unit.

■ The Four Hour Defrost Timer:

This timer ensures that frost will not buildup on
the evaporator coil. Every four hours the hot gas
by-pass valve is opened and hot gas is
circulated through the evaporator coil. The
defrost is terminated when the coil is clear of
frost. The defrost cycle lasts for approximately
20 minutes.
During normal operation it is recommended that
the doors are not left open to prevent excessive
frost buildup on the coil.

Temperature Control

An adjustable temperature control is located inside
the freezer on the evaporator fan panel
assembly. Approximate temperature operating
range: minus 15° F. minimum and plus 10°F
maximum. Make adjustments as shown to attain
the desired temperature.

■ 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 and the evaporator fan motor
turns off and on with the compressor.

Cleaning Instructions – Single Door Freezer

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.
CAUTION: Do not bend the fins while
brushing the front of the condenser.

Cleaning the Cabinet:

■ Use a damp cloth and 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. Uae an acceptable stainless steel
polish to clean all stainless steel surfaces.
Never use steel wool, scouring pad or abrasive
cleanser.

NOTE: An industrial strength, commercial
cleaner can be used to clean the outside of
painted cabinets

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
