I. Cooling Performance
Be sure the appliance is properly installed and located for optimum cooling performance.
If cooling performance is not at its optimum level, check the following items:
• Doors/drawers opened too often.
• Doors/drawers left open. Close.
• Cabinet too tightly packed or air inlets/outlets blocked. Allow some space between items
to ensure good air flow.
• Warm or hot foods inside. Take them out until they cool down more.
• Ambient temperature too high. Avoid installation near high heat producing equipment or
exposure to direct sunlight.
• Temperature setpoint not cold enough. Adjust to a colder setting. See "II.C.2. Adjusting
the Temperature Setpoint" for details.
• Appliance in defrost cycle. The cabinet temperature may rise temporarily during the
defrost cycle, but this will not affect the food inside.
• Pans and rail dividers not in place. The entire rail must always be covered by rail
dividers and pans (up to 6" (15 cm) deep) or the appliance will not cool properly.
• Warm or hot ingredients inside rail. Only load ingredients that have been pre-chilled to
37°F (3°C) or less.
• Rail cover open when not actively preparing food. When not actively preparing food,
close the rail cover.
J. Cabinet Condensation
In the event condensation develops on the cabinet exterior, check the following items:
• Doors/drawers left open. Close.
• Ambient humidity too high. In high humidity areas it may be necessary to wipe off the
cabinet frame occasionally.
