TECHNICAL MANUAL
SILVER KING REFRIGERATED SALAD DISPENSER
MODEL SKSD
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 examine and test for possible 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 must be 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 soft cloth. Rinse afterward with clean water and wipe dry. Do not use chlorinated
cleaners.
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.
• For proper ventilation, the bottom front and rear 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.
• The unit must be level or tilted backwards slightly.
Legs/Casters
The unit comes with legs or casters installed. Periodically inspect the casters to assure they are mounted tightly.
Drawers
To remove the drawers for cleaning, simply open them fully, release gray tabs, and lift up on the front of the drawer to remove the
front wheels from the drawer tracks, continue to slide the drawer out until the rear wheels reach the end of the tracks and lift the
drawer out of the tracks. To reinstall the drawer, insert the rear wheels of the drawer into the drawer tracks and slide the drawer
back until the front wheels on the drawer can be inserted into the track, push the drawer into the cabinet, pull the drawer back out
and press the gray tabs back into the locked position. The drawer pans can be removed by lifting them out with the drawer
extended. The rolling drawer tracks can be removed for cleaning when the drawers are removed from the cabinet. Pull each track
out half way, push the gray tab on the inside rear of the track back, and pull the track out.. The drawer slide system is rated for a
maximum load of 200 pounds. The drawers are not designed for or intended to be used 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.

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 a power
source. The specifications on the data plate supersede any future discussion.
The standard unit 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 unit is ready to start. The unit will start when the power cord is connected to the
required power source and the Power Switch is turned on. Allow the unit to run a minimum of two hours before loading it with
product.
Temperature Control
The Electronic Temperature Control is located on the front of the unit. To check the temperature control set point, push and release
the ‘set’ button on the control and the display will show the set point temperature. To adjust the set point, push and hold the ‘set’
button until display blinks, then push the up or down arrows to adjust the set point. Either press the ‘set’ button again or wait 10
seconds and the control will store the new set point. Allow the unit a minimum of one hour to respond to a control setting
adjustment.
Defrost:
The SKSD Lettuce Dispenser is a manual defrost unit. The unit should be defrosted whenever the walls accumulate a frost/ice bank
that is 1/4 inch thick. To defrost the unit, first remove any food products, then turn off the Power Switch, and open the Drawers.
After the frost/ice has melted or come loose from the cabinet walls, wipe out the cabinet interior with a dry cloth or sponge. Do not
attempt to scrape or chisel off the frost/ice as you could do irreparable damage to the cabinet.
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 and exterior are stainless steel. These surfaces should be cleaned periodically with a solution of warm water
and mild soap. After cleaning the surfaces should be rinsed with clean water and wiped dry with a soft cloth. Stainless steel
cleaners can be used. Should a surface become stained, do not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Use a
soft cleanser and rub with the grain of the metal to avoid scratching the surface. Always rinse well and dry after cleaning. Do not
use chlorinated cleaners.
Condenser
Periodically, dust on the condenser coil must be cleaned. The condenser is located behind the front cover on the lower front of the
unit. Open the front cover by pulling on the knob of the cover. The condenser will be exposed. Clean the accumulated dust/debris
from the condenser with a vacuum or brush. This will need to be done regularly to maintain the compressor warranty.
Casters
Check to make sure that the casters are installed tightly to the cabinet.
