INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Proper installation is the first step to operation. We recommend that your refrigerator or freezer
be installed by an authorized Victory Certified Installer.

Receiving Shipment

All units are performance tested and thoroughly inspected prior to shipment. Upon leaving the
factory, all units are in perfect condition. Upon receipt, examine the exterior of the shipment
packaging for any signs of rough handling. If the cabinet is damaged, it should be noted on the
delivery slip or bill of lading and signed. A claim must be filed immediately against the carrier
indicating the extent and estimated cost of damage incurred.

Uncrating

Tools Needed : 3/4” Box Wrench l Adjustable Wrench l Level

WARNING: Never lay your refrigerator or freezer down on either its back, front or sides. This
allows compressor oil into the refrigerant lines which can damage the compressor at start-up. If
the unit is laid down, it must be set upright for a minimum of 12 hours before starting the
compressor. Failure to adhere to the above recommendation will void the warranty.

1. Split plastic wrap along one of the cardboard posts. Remove and discard all packaging
material, tape and interior components.

2. Move cabinet as close to final location as possible before removing skid.

3. Remove the shipping skid by tipping the cabinet forward. Remove the shipping bolts with
3/4” box wrench while the cabinet is held in one direction. Repeat this procedure
while the cabinet is held in the opposite direction.

4. Use extreme caution when removing the wooden skid, especially when the last bolt is
removed. If not properly blocked, the skid will fall to the floor.

Locating Your New Storage Refrigerator or Freezer

Consider the following when selecting a location for your refrigerator or freezer:

1. Clearance - There must be a minimum clearance of 10” between the top of the refrigerator
or freezer and the ceiling.

2. Floor Load - The floor on which the cabinet will rest must be free of vibration and suitably
strong enough to support the combined weights of the cabinet plus the maximum product
load.

3. Ventilation - The air cooled, self-contained refrigerator or freezer requires a sufficient
amount of cool, clean air. Avoid placing the refrigerator near heat generating equipment

iii

such as ovens, ranges, heaters, fryers, steam kettles, etc., and out of direct sunlight. Avoid
locating the self-contained refrigerator in an unheated room, or where the room temperature may
be below 55°F.

Installing Casters or Legs

Refrigerators and freezers are shipped with 1/2” single stud mounted legs or casters.

1. Casters / legs must be screwed by hand into the threaded holes located on the case
bottom (*Note: Once the caster cannot be turned, take a 3/4” box wrench and tighten the

nut in between the mounting plate and wheel of the caster until it is snug).

2. Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately eight inches and block it securely with
several pieces of 2 x 4 lumber or other suitable material.

3. Screw in the two left or right casters/legs.

4. Repeat this procedure to install the other casters/legs.

Leveling

Cabinets must be leveled when installed. Failure to level your cabinet may result in doors not
sealing, closing properly or condensate water not draining properly.

Casters - Cabinets with casters can be leveled by placing large flat washers in
between 1/2” stud and holes located on the case bottom.

Legs - Rotate the foot of the leg with an adjustable wrench to achieve desired height
for leveling.

Cabinet Cleaning

Prior to placing your new refrigerator/freezer and all shelves, pans and slides into operation, it is
advisable that the interior be washed thoroughly with a mild detergent and water solution. Rinse
with clear water and a sanitizing solution. Allow cabinet to air dry.

Installing Shelves

All cabinets with shelves are supplied with pilasters and shelf clip supports. Shelves are easily
installed by inserting the shelf support clips into the pilasters so they fit tightly. Align the shelf so
the smaller fill wires run from front to rear and rest the shelf on the clips.
