TECHNICAL MANUAL

SILVER KING COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATOR

MODEL SKF3

Thank you for purchasing Silver King food service equipment. Our goal is to provide our customers with the most reliable
equipment in the industry today. Please read this manual and the accompanying warranty information before operating your new
Silver King unit. Be sure to complete and mail the warranty card within 10 days of purchase to validate your warranty.

INSPECT FOR DAMAGE AND UNCRATE
Upon delivery of your new Silver King unit, uncrate at once to inspect for possible freight damage following the instructions printed
on the exterior of the container. Report any damages to the carrier responsible for transportation and promptly present a claim for
any evidence of mishandling. Save all packaging materials if a claim is filed.

INSTALLATION
The stainless steel exterior of the cabinet has been protected by a plastic covering during manufacturing and shipping. This
covering can be readily stripped before installation. After removing this covering, wash the interior and exterior surfaces using a
warm, mild soapy water solution and a sponge or cloth, rinse with clean water and dry.

Legs/Casters
The unit comes with Legs or Casters. To install them, tilt the unit and thread the Legs or Casters into the 4 tapping plates in the
bottom of the cabinet. Make sure that they are installed tightly to prevent future thread wear.

Condenser Filter Screen
The Condenser Filter Screen is installed on the unit. It is located underneath the compressor in a slot above the base.

Cutting Board
The Cutting Board is mounted on knobs installed on the front top surface of the cabinet.

Shelves
Inside the unit you will find Shelves and a plastic bag containing Shelf Supports. The Shelf Supports with the “tang” go on the rear
Pilasters. This shelf system allows for easy adjustment to suit your needs.

Door Adjustment and Swing
Should the Door ever require straightening, loosen the Screws on the Hinges, square the Door with the cabinet and retighten the
Screws.

The mounting of the Door is easily reversible on single door units should space or convenience require that you do so. Simply
remove the Screws holding the Hinges, rotate the Door 180 degrees and relocate the Hinges on the side opposite their original
location.

Location
When locating your new refrigerator, convenience and accessibility are important considerations, but the following installation
guidelines must be followed;

*Always avoid placing the refrigerator adjacent to an oven, heating element or hot air source that would affect the operation of the
unit.

1

*For proper ventilation the bottom front of the unit must not be obstructed. The unit must be on legs or casters to raise it off the
floor. The unit can be installed tight on the sides and must have at least 4” of clearance in back.

*The unit must be level or tilted backwards slightly.

Electrical Connections
Be sure to check the data plate, located on the liner of the cabinet, for required voltage prior to connecting the unit to power. The
specifications on the data plate supersede any future discussion.

The standard refrigerator is equipped with an eight (8) foot power cord that requires a 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, 1 Phase properly
grounded electrical receptacle. The power cord comes with a 3 prong plug for grounding purposes. Any attempt to cut off the
grounding spike or to connect to an ungrounded adapter plug will void the warranty, terminate the manufacturers responsibility and
could result in serious injury.

The circuit must be protected with a 15 or 20 ampere fuse or breaker. The unit must be isolated on a circuit and not plugged into an
extension cord.

OPERATION
Initial start up

After satisfying the installation requirements, the refrigerator is ready to start. The Compressor will start when the power cord is
connected to the required power source. If the Compressor does not start when the unit is initially plugged in, check to make sure
that the Temperature Control is not in the “off” position. Allow the unit to run for two hours before loading it with product. When
loading the unit with product, take care not to block the air flow in the cabinet as this would affect the units performance.

Temperature Control
The Temperature Control is located on the back wall of the cabinet liner and is factory set to maintain an average cabinet
temperature of approximately 36 to 40 Deg F. To obtain colder temperatures turn the Temperature Control stem clockwise and vice
versa. Allow the unit a minimum of one hour to respond to a control setting adjustment.

Defrost
Your Silver King refrigerator is an automatic defrost unit and no additional plumbing is required. Automatic defrosting is
accomplished when frost buildup on the Evaporator Coil is cleared during Compressor “off” cycles. Defrost water is collected in a
pan located in the compressor compartment where it is evaporated into the room air. It is important that the unit be installed level to
allow proper drainage of the defrost water.

MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is minimal although these few steps are very important to continued operation and maximizing the life of
the appliance.

Cabinet Surfaces
The cabinet interior is aluminum and the exterior is stainless steel. These surfaces should be cleaned periodically with a solution of
warm water and mild soap, rinsed and wiped dry with a soft cloth. A good stainless steel cleaner can also be used. Should a
surface become stained, do not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleanser or scouring pad. Use a soft cleanser and rub with the
grain of the metal to avoid scratching the surface. Do not use chlorinated cleaners. Always rinse well and dry after cleaning.

Condenser
Periodically the Condenser Filter Screen must be cleaned. The Condenser Filter Screen is located on the bottom of the cabinet. To
clean it simply pull it out the back of the unit and rinse it in a stream of water. Dry the screen by tapping it on a counter or floor.
Replace the filter screen by sliding it back into its slot underneath the compressor. Do not operate the unit without the filter sreen
installed!

Door Gasket
The Door Gasket will collect dirt and should be wiped clean with a warm, mild soapy water solution to extend its life and assure
maximum cabinet performance and life.
