TECHNICAL MANUAL
SILVER KING MOBILE FREEZER
MODEL SKFS2
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.
UNCRATE AND INSPECT FOR DAMAGE
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 written
claim for any evidence of mishandling. Be sure to save all packaging materials if a claim is to be filed.
INSTALLATION
The stainless steel exterior of the cabinet has been protected by a plastic covering during manufacturing and shipping. The
covering can be readily stripped from the unit before installation. After removing the 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 thoroughly.
Casters
To install the included casters, tilt the unit and thread the Legs or Casters into the four Rivnuts in the bottom of the cabinet. Make
sure that they are installed tightly to prevent future thread wear.
Location
When locating the freezer, convenience and accessibility are important considerations, but the following factors must be observed:
• The unit must be level.
• Allow at least 6 inches of space at both ends to allow for proper air flow through the louvered panels. The space above the unit
should be open to allow access to the product.
• Avoid placing the freezer next to ovens, heating elements or hot air sources that would affect the performance of the unit.
Electrical Considerations
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 manufactures responsibility and could result
in serious injury.
The circuit must be protected with a 15 or 20 amp fuse or breaker. The use of extension cords is not recommended with this unit.

OPERATION
Initial Start Up
After satisfying the installation requirements, the freezer is ready to operate. The unit will start when the power cord is connected to
a live electrical receptacle. If the Compressor and Condenser Fan are not running when the unit is initially connected to power,
check to make sure that the Temperature Control is not set to the ‘off’ position. Allow the unit to run a minimum of two (2) hours
before loading it with product.
Temperature Control
The Temperature Control, located behind the service panel in the rear of the cabinet, comes set at the midpoint position, #4, which
will maintain an average cabinet temperature of about 0 Deg F. To obtain cooler temperatures turn the Temperature Control
clockwise and vice versa. Allow the unit a minimum of six hours to fully respond to a control setting adjustment if the product is in
the cabinet.
Defrost
The Silver King freezer is a manual defrost unit. The unit should be defrosted whenever the walls accumulate a frost layer that is
1/4 inch thick. To defrost the unit, either turn the Temperature Control stem to the ‘off’ position (fully counterclockwise) or disconnect
the Power Cord from the electrical receptacle, and remove or open the Lid Assembly. After the frost has melted or come loose from
the walls, wipe out the cabinet interior. Do not attempt to scrape or chisel off the frost as you could do irreparable damage to the
unit.
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 interior and exterior surfaces are stainless steel and should be cleaned periodically with a solution of warm water and a mild
soap, rinsed with clean water and wiped dry. A good stainless steel cleaner can also be used. Should a surface become stained or
discolored, do not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Use a soft cleaner and rub with the grain of the metal
to avoid scratching the surface. Always rinse and dry afterwards. Do not use chlorinated cleaners on the stainless steel.
Condenser
Periodically, dust accumulated on the Condenser should be removed. First, disconnect the unit from the power supply. Remove
the service panel to expose the Condenser. Remove the accumulated dust by vacuuming or blowing air through the coil. This
procedure will save on Compressor running time (electrical costs) and also extend the life of the Compressor.
Casters
Retighten the Casters to the base of the unit regularly to prevent damage to the base of the cabinet.
