CHECK FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE

Prior to leaving the factory, each cabinet is thoroughly inspected and performance tested up to 12 hours to assure proper operating temperatures.

Check the crate thoroughly for signs of shipping damage. If external damage exists, internal damage is also probable. Uncrating should be done while the carrier’s representative is present. Otherwise, the equipment should be uncrated as soon as possible, preferably within five (5) days.

The manufacturer is not responsible for in-transit damage and the consignee must file any required damage claims directly with the carrier.

If the damage is severe and obvious, write a brief description of the evidence on the carrier’s delivery receipt, and above the carrier representative’s signature. The carrier will return the cabinet to the factory. Call the factory immediately, noting that the shipment was refused and we’ll ship a replacement cabinet.

If no obvious crate damage is present, within two hours of receiving the cabinet from the carrier, remove the front and side panels to inspect for concealed damage.

1. If concealed damage is found, call the carrier immediately, save all crating materials, and file the necessary freight claim with the carrier.

2. If no concealed damage is present, reassemble the crate to protect the cabinet for final location delivery.

Check for accessories: Check that the shelves are inside the refrigerator, including the four clips or supports for each shelf.

WHERE TO LOCATE THE CABINET

1. Place the cabinet on a surface solid enough to prevent vibration and strong enough to support the combined weight of the cabinet and the product load. Quick guideline: estimate 35 pounds per cubic foot of storage space.

2. Cabinets should never be placed in front of windows or glass doors where sunlight will be in direct contact with the units. If a cabinet is located near a window or glass door, provide an adequate shade to block the sun’s rays.

3. Ambient temperature must be between 59° and 95°F. Low ambient temperatures below 50°F are as harmful as high ambient temperatures. Extreme temperatures will definitely affect the performance of the cabinet.

4. Leveling legs are provided on all Visual Merchandisers. Level the cabinet by using the adjustable portion of the leveling legs as needed. Failure to properly level the cabinet could hinder proper drainage and door operation. If the floor is extremely uneven, shim the corners with thin sheets of metal (you may need to use shims when optional casters have been installed). On page 3 you will

find instructions on how to install the leveling legs.

5. Clearance: Leave a space of at least 8” between the back of the cabinet and the wall to provide adequate air circulation of the unit compartment.

REMOVE THE CRATE AND SKID

Remove the crate carefully to prevent damage to the exterior surfaces of the cabinet. The cabinet is bolted to a wooden skid with four or six hex-head bolts (depending on the size of the model). Remove the bolts using a wrench or pliers. After the skid is removed, always use a dolly to move the cabinet to prevent damage to the unit as well as the floor.

5. To re-install the door support bracket on the door, reverse steps 1 through 4.

INSTALL LEGS AND CASTERS

To install the legs

Heavy duty leveling legs are provided with all Visual Merchandisers so the cabinet may be leveled accurately and to allow room to clean beneath the cabinet.

Tilt the cabinet back just far enough to fit the front legs and place a block of wood or some similar support under it until both front legs are in. Then tilt the cabinet forward enough to install the rear legs.

After the legs are installed, level the cabinet by using the adjustable portion of the legs as needed. This is very important to insure proper draining and door operation.
