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.

iv

Electric Supply

Wiring should be done by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
A separate ground wire must be supplied for all installations. A properly wired refrigerator or
freezer will assure proper operation. Electrical supply requirements are on the cabinet serial/data
plate. It is recommended that a direct, properly protected line of the proper size wire be installed
from the main supply to your refrigerator or freezer. To assure that the correct voltage is being
supplied, while the refrigerator or freezer is in operation take a voltage reading at the motor­compressor electrical connections, or as close to the motor-compressor as possible.

All refrigerator or freezer electrical systems are internally grounded.

Temperature Control

Temperature control should be set to maintain a temperature of 38°F (3.3°C) to 40°F (4.4°C) for
refrigerators, and 0°F (-17°C) to -5°F (-20.5°C) for freezers.

v

Installation Checklist

After the cabinet has been installed, leveled and cleaned as described, refer to the following
checklist prior to start-up.

Check for proper electrical hook-up.

Check exposed refrigeration line connections for leaks. Make sure refrigeration lines are
not dented, kinked or rubbing.

Check condenser fan for freedom to rotate without striking any stationary members.

Check that cabinet is level.

Product Load

After the refrigerator or freezer has been started and reaches the proper storage temperatures,
food may be loaded. For optimum energy efficiency, we recommend allowing a 1-1/2” clearance
between the interior cabinet wall and product load.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Cabinet Cleaning

Victory Refrigeration recommends periodic internal and exterior cleaning as outlined below.

Daily Exterior Cleaning

1. Clean surface with a sponge and cleaning solution. Use a non-abrasive cleaner that does
not contain chlorine.

2. Polish with a soft cloth, wiping with the grain of the metal.

3. Once a week wipe with a film cutting agent to maintain shine.

Weekly Interior Cleaning

1. Remove all food, food related items and shelves.

2. Turn the unit off.

3. Remove loose food particles from interior floors, walls and ceiling.

4. Scrub all interior surfaces with warm detergent solution 100 °F - 120°F (38°C - 39°C) and
a nylon bristled brush.

5. Rinse with clear water and allow to air dry.

6. Reinstall shelves.

7. Return power (electrical) to unit by resetting circuit breaker.

8. Return food to cabinet when temperature indicator reaches safety zone.

Condenser Maintenance

To keep your cabinet running efficiently, it is recommended that you clean the condenser once
every three months. However, once a month is recommended if the unit is located near cooking
equipment which produces grease laden vapors, i.e. fryers, grills, steam kettles, etc.

1. Disconnect power by switching circuit breaker to “OFF” position.

2. Remove the front grill by removing the two (2) screws on the inside of the grill at
each end, then lift the panel up and straight out.

3. Use a vacuum cleaner with proper brush attachments to clean the condenser,
motor-compressor and related parts.

4. In extreme cases of dust and grease buildup, the condenser fins may require
blowing out with compressed air or cleaning with a degreasing agent.

5. Turn circuit breaker to “ON” position.

WARNING: Failure to keep condenser clean may cause premature failure of motor-

Keep Clean

compressor which will NOT be covered by warranty.

Lubrication

Unless otherwise specified, all Victory refrigerators are equipped with oilless type motors. The
motor-compressor is a sealed unit and is constantly lubricated when in operation. The condenser
and the evaporator motors are equipped with lifetime oiled bearings which never need to be
oiled.

Installing Replacement Door Gasket (if required)

Removing

Beginning at one corner, pry gasket loose from the retaining strip. Peel remainder of gasket from
the door and discard.

Replacing

Before replacing, be sure the gasket and door are at room temperature. (If necessary, soak the
gasket in warm water to make it more pliable.) Align new gasket frame on the door retainer strip.
Starting at one corner, press each corner of the gasket into the retainer strip. Once started, the
gasket can be easily inserted around the entire perimeter of the door by simply press rolling into
place.
