RF33
Introduction
The Scotsman RF33 Compact Refrigerator is a
unique product, capable of being built into a
cabinet because of its front vented, forced-air
cooling system.
It’s also designed to be a companion to
Scotsman’s DC33 Automatic Ice Machine. To
prevent door interference when installed to the left
of a DC33, the RF33 comes from the factory with
the door hinged on the left. The door swing may
be reversed to suit the installation.
The RF33 keeps its interior cool by removing heat
from the freezing compartment at the top of the
storage area and exhausting that heat out the right
front grill.

Installation:
RF33
After the carton has been removed, check for any
concealed damage. Check the unit interior and
exterior. After this check, the unit may be installed.
Open the door and remove all packing materials,
including warranty packet, tape, and warranty
registration. Note: Keep the filler plate for use
when reversing door swing.
Wipe the interior of the cabinet with soap and
water to remove any manufacturing or shipping
residue.
The RF33 will work fine as a free standing
refrigerator, minimal attention to leveling, electrical
power supply and no obstruction of air flow will
provide an adequate environment.
The RF33 is only designed to be operated indoors.
Malfunctions due to outdoor operation will not be
covered by warranty.

There is a kick plate at the bottom front of the
cabinet, the louvers in that kick plate allow air
to flow through the cooling mechanism, and
those louvers must not be blocked at any time.

The cabinet legs should be flush with the floor, so
that the refrigerator may be pulled out without
damage to the floor.
The electrical supply must be near enough so that
an extension cord is not used. The power
requirements are 115 volts AC, 60 cycle, single
phase (normal U.S. house current). Scotsman
recommends that the refrigerator not be connected
to a circuit with high amperage equipment already
on it. Check with a licensed electrician for
recommendations. Be sure to follow all applicable
electrical codes.
The RF33 is UL listed, meaning it has met certain
requirements for electrical safety. Any modification
or substitution of components may violate those
requirements, and Scotsman will not be
responsible for any RF33 so modified. Always use
Scotsman replacement parts.
