PREPARING THE CABINET - GLASS FROSTERS
Uncrating and Inspection
Remove all crating material. Carefully inspect
cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is
discovered, le 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 Specication
Plate afxed to unit) in accordance with National
and Local electrical codes.
Do not attempt to operate
the equipment on any
other power source than that listed on the
Electrical Specication 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 inched of clearance at the back or left end
of the cabinet. Do not place anything in front of
the cabinet that would obstruct air ow at these
grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated
small room.
Removing the factory
installed back clearance
spacers without providing proper left side grill
clearance for compressor air ow will void the
warranty.
Cabinet should be leveled.
For sanitation purposed, it may be necessary to
seal the base of the cabinet to the oor. This can
be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone
sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown
by the gure below (gure 1).
Installing Shelves (when provided)
The front and rear horizontal shelf brackets have
been factory installed for a 2 shelf kit glass froster.
Installing Casters or Legs (optional)
Attach casters or legs to the cabinet bottom in
holes provided. Use the supplied 1/4” - 20 hex
head self-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 - GLASS FROSTERS
Defrost System
This system consists of a six-hour, as well as
a four hour defrost cycle. 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, door frame heater, evaporator heater, and the
automatic four hour defrost timer, while it supplies
power to the evaporator fan.
To activate the six hour defrost system, depress
the defrost switch located on the front grill 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
machine.
The Four Hour Defrost Timer
This timer ensures that frost will not buildup on
the evaporator coil. Every four hours it shuts
down the condensing unit and evaporator fan and
supplies power to the defrost element clamped to
the bottom of the evaporator. The defrost cycle
lasts for approximately 20 minutes.
Temperature Control
An adjustable temperature control is located inside
the Bottle Cooler on the evaporator fan panel
assembly. It is factory set at approximately 38˚F
for standard refrigeration and approximately 30˚F
for low temperature models. Make adjustments as
detailed below to attain the desired temperature.
NOTE: A temperature 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
compressor. The evaporator fan motor runs
continuously, except during the 20 minute period
of the four-hour defrost.
During normal operation it is recommended that
the doors are not left open to prevent excessive
frost buildup on the coil.
Perlick is committed to continuous improvement. Therefore, we reserve the right to change specications without prior notice.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS - FLAT TOP BOTTLE COOLERS
Cleaning the Condenser
■ The condenser (located behind the from
grille) should be inspected every 30 days,
and cleaned, if necessary. Failure to
keep the condenser clean will cause a loss
in condensing unit efciency, 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 hardware or automotive stores.
To remove doors:
■ With door closed, lift it upward by its handle
and slide forward until doors clears the
cabinet top. Use the reverse procedure to
reinstall the doors.
Cleaning the Cabinets
■ 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
