Stabilizing
Some models are supplied on casters for your convenience,
ease of cleaning underneath and for mobility. It is very
important, however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable
condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on
its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24
hours before start-up to allow compressor oil to
flow back to the sump.
Electrical Connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your
local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is
connected to the proper power source. A protected circuit of the
correct voltage and amperage must be run for connection of the
line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
The temperature control must be turned off and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service, maintenance
functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
Field Reversing doors is not recommended and will
void product warranty.
Installation
Location
Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to
support the total weight of the cabinet and its contents. Certain
cabinets with its contents in this line can weigh up to 1500
pounds. The floor must be capable of supporting twice that
weight.
For the most efficient operation, be sure to provide good air
circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet:
Do not pack the equipment so full that air
cannot circulate.
Outside cabinet:
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air.
Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2”
from any wall and should have a 12” clearance above. Avoid
exposing glass door units to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight
through the glass doors will make the ABS liner fade and
become brittle and will greatly reduce refrigeration efficiency.
Caster/leg installation
Units are normally shipped with casters and legs installed.
However, units that are shipped with the casters or legs loose
will require installation of those components. During installation
of the casters/legs the unit must be adequately stabilized.
Failure to do this could result in damage
to the equipment or serious injury to the
operator.
First, remove the two bolts from the bottom of the unit holding
it to the pallet. These bolts are located under the wood deck
on the pallet and can be loosened with a 3/4” open end or
socket wrench. Carefully slide the unit on the pallet until one
of the sets of four holes for the casters/legs are exposed. Take
the caster/leg and align the holes on its mounting plates with
the holes in the bottom of the unit. Using four 5/16-18 self-
threading bolts supplied with the unit secure the caster/leg to
the unit using a 1/2” open end or socket wrench. These bolts
will require considerable force to tighten. Repeat the process
on the other three casters/legs.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and performs more efficiently. It
also helps with the proper closing of the doors and prevents
undue strain on the unit. Place a level on top of the unit from
front to back and left to right. To level a unit on legs, turn the
foot counterclockwise to extend and clockwise to retract. The
foot can be turned with a 1” open end or adjustable wrench.
To level a unit on casters, four leveling shims are provided with
one and two door units, six shims are provided with three door
units. These shims are 1/16” thick galvanized plates 1 3/8”W x
3 3/4” L. Place the required number of shims under the proper
caster to level the unit. Once the unit is level loosen the four
mounting screws holding the caster to the rail on which the
caster(s) shims were placed. Remove the shims from under
the caster and insert between the mounting plate and the rail.
Tighten the mounting screws.
CAUTION
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm
water. If this isn’t sufficient, try ammonia and water or a non-
abrasive liquid cleaner. When cleaning the exterior, always rub
with the “grain” of the metal to avoid marring the finish.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the
metal and plastic.
Cleaning the condenser
In order to maintain proper refrigeration and energy perfor-
mance the condensing unit must be cleaned regularly. Failure
to perform these cleanings could result in compressor failure
and/or product loss. At least every 30 days the condenser coil
should be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease. To perform this
service, disconnect the electrical power from the
unit. Remove the louver by taking out the top
screws and lifting off the bottom catches. Using
a vacuum or stiff brush remove dust and other
obstructions from the front of the condenser. If
the dirt is more stubborn a commercial condenser cleaner is
available, please consult your factory service person for more
information. When finished replace the louver and reconnect
the electrical power.
Door gaskets should be cleaned as required to maintain their
ability to seal properly. Do not use sharp tools or knives to
scrape the bellows as this may tear the gasket and eliminate
its ability to seal. A soft bristle brush and solution of soap and
water will keep the gaskets clean. Do not use full strength
de-greasing agents on the gasket.
