SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Electrical service installation should only be performed by qualified, licensed Electricians.
•
Mechanical service should only be performed by qualified, licensed Service Technicians.
•
Use adequate equipment when moving the Novelty Ice Cream Case (NIC).
•
Test for proper grounding to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire.
•
High voltage is present in the NIC. Disconnect power before servicing.
•
Use only fully trained service technicians for power-on servicing.
•
Use only authorized replacement parts.
•
Lines are pressurized with nitrogen. Use caution when opening lines.
•
Use refrigeration lines with adequate wall thickness to handle refrigeration pressures.
•
Replacement fuse must have identical ratings as the fuse being replaced.
•
The NIC is designed for indoor use only, in a controlled environment that typically does not exceed
80ºF (27ºC). Check room and system airflow as described in this document to ensure food is
maintained at required temperatures.

CABINET LOCATION AND SETUP
Choose a location for your new Novelty Ice Cream case. Avoid placing the cabinet near equipment that releases
heat, near an outside door, or in direct sunlight. To protect all electrical parts, do not place the cabinet
where it will be subjected to rain, splashed liquid, or excessive humidity.
Check the airflow around the cabinet, since strong airflow may displace the cooled air in the Showcase. Place
the cabinet where the airflow speed is less than 50 feet/minute (see following figures). Also, avoid
areas subject to wind.
