OPERATION
General
The unit is equipped with a state-of-the-art refrigeration system.
The variable speed compressor automatically changes speed
based on system conditions and load. The cabinet is equipped with
an adjustable digital temperature controller and LED display.
Freezer units are frost-free models, meaning the evaporator coil
automatically defrosts on demand at predetermined intervals.
The controller also has a manual defrost soft button on the
front panel signied by a melting snowake. If depressed it will
automatically put the system into a defrost cycle.
Interior Light
The unit is equipped with an interior light that illuminates when
the door is open. The cabinet also comes standard with a manual
light switch located next to the light for displaying your products
through a glass door.
Operation & Installation Manual
Signature Series (HP24 and HP48 models)
Always ensure that the manual switch is in the o position before
closing a solid wood or stainless door. If manual light switch is
left on for an extended period of time it may increase the cabinet
temperature, especially at the top and cause the refrigeration
system to run longer.
Loading Product
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before storing perishables, allow unit to run
for a minimum of 24 hours to allow temperature stabilization after
start-up.
When loading items into the unit, do not block internal louvers and
fan guard openings or performance will be decreased.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

counterclockwise and replace with an identical 15-watt bulb or
