TECHNICAL MANUAL
SILVER KING FREEZER
MODEL SKF72D
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.
Casters
The unit comes with four casters. To install them, tip the unit on its back (remove the drawers first to lighten the unit) and locate the
four hex-screw patterns on the base of the unit. These hex screws are used to mount the plate casters. Remove the hex screws,
align a plate caster over the four hole pattern and re-install the hex screws tightly to mount the casters. The casters with brakes
should be installed at the front of the cabinet.
Condenser Filter Screen
The Condenser Filter Screen, Screen Pull and Filter Guides are packaged inside the unit. The instructions for installing these parts
are included in this technical manual. Do not operate the unit without the filter screen installed!
Drawers
To remove drawers for cleaning, simply open them fully, lift up on the front of drawer, and pull drawer out. Replace drawers in the
same fashion.
With drawer removed, the roller members can be removed by rocking the top of the roller member out when the roller member is
pushed all the way to the back of the cabinet.
The drawer system is rated for a maximum dynamic load of 275 pounds. The drawers are not designed or intended as a surface to
stand on. At no time should the drawers be extended and used as a platform for standing on to reach elevated equipment.
Location
When locating your new freezer, convenience and accessibility are important considerations, but the following installation guidelines
must be followed;
*Always avoid placing the freezer adjacent to an oven, heating element or hot air source that would affect the operation of the unit.
*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 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 freezer 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 freezer 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 front of the evap panel and is factory set to maintain an average cabinet temperature of
-5 to 5 Deg. F. Temperature may rise with prolonged drawer opening or following a defrost cycle.
Defrost
Your Silver King freezer is an automatic defrost unit and no additional plumbing is required. 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 stainless steel 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 front of the unit using the Filter Screen Pull and rinse it in a stream of water. Dry the screen by tapping
it on a counter or floor. Replace the filter screen by placing it into the filter screen tracks on the bottom of the unit and sliding it all
the way to the rear of the cabinet. Do not operate the unit without the filter sreen installed!
Drawer 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.
