PLEASE READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE
BEGINNING CASE INSTALLATION.
Location
The refrigerated merchandisers have been designed for
use only in air conditioned stores where temperature and
humidity are maintained at or below 75°F and 55% relative
humidity. DO NOT allow air conditioning, electric fans, ovens,
open doors or windows (etc.) to create air currents around
the merchandiser, as this will impair its correct operation.
Product temperature should always be maintained at a
constant and proper temperature. This means that from the
time the product is received, through storage, preparation
and display, the temperature of the product must be
controlled to maximize life of the product.
Uncrating the Stand
Place the fi xture as close to its permanent position as
possible. Remove the top of the crate. Detach the walls
from each other and remove from the skid. Unbolt the case
from the skid. The fi xture can now be lifted off the crate
skid.
Lift only at base of stand!
Exterior Loading
These models have
not
been structurally designed to
support excessive external loading.
Do not walk on their
tops;
This could cause serious personal injury and damage
to the fi xture.
Leveling
IMPORTANT!: TO AVOID REMOVING CONCRETE
FLOORING, WHEN INSTALLING A LINEUP OF CASES,
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE HIGHEST SPOT OF THE
STORE FLOOR IN THE AREA WHERE THE CASES
ARE TO BE SET IS DETERMINED. BEGIN SETTING
THE LINEUP WITH THE CASE THAT IS NEAREST TO
THE HIGHEST PART OF THE FLOOR. IF A WEDGE IS
A PART OF THE LINEUP NEAR THE HIGH SPOT, SET
IT FIRST.
IMPORTANT!: WHEN REMOVING LOOSE PARTS
FROM INSIDE OR ON TOP OF THE CASE SUCH AS
INSTALLATION KITS, HARDWARE OR FASTENERS,
ICE PANS, DISPLAY PANS, SPLASH GUARDS, AND
INSTRUCTION MANUALS TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE
SIDE BULKHEADS AT EACH END OF THE CASE OR
TO BEGIN PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION: DO
NOT LOSE THEM OR PUT THEM WHERE THEY CAN
BECOME DAMAGED.
LEVELING: ALL CASES WERE LEVELED AND JOINED
WHERE NECESSARY PRIOR TO SHIPMENT TO
ENSURE THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE FIT WHEN CASES
ARE JOINED IN THE FIELD. WHEN JOINING, USE A
CARPENTERS LEVEL AND SHIM LEGS ACCORDINGLY.
CASES MUST BE RAISED CORRECTLY: LIFT UNDER
LEGS OR WOOD LEG BRACES WHERE SUPPORT IS
BEST, TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE CASE.
1. It is imperative that the cases be leveled from front
to back and side to side as they are being joined
beginning with the fi rst case that is set in place.
Remember: the fi rst case in a line-up to be set
should be the one closest to the highest spot of
the store fl oor. A level case is necessary to ensure
proper operation, water drainage, and glass
alignment. Remove any skids or shipping supports
that are
under
the legs. Leave the leg supports
attached to the sides of the legs on the case until the
case has been set and leveled.
Front to back plumb should be checked
by
placing the level on the top of the side bulkhead of
the lower case after the lower deck pans have been
removed. Make sure that the area on the bulkhead
where the level is placed is smooth and free of
debris. Check plumb at both ends of the case at the
side bulkheads.
Side to side plumb should be checked
both at
the front and rear of the case. At the front, a level
can be placed on the stainless steel liner cap at the
front of the lower case interior or on the stainless
steel bumper box between the bumper and front
Plexiglass. At the rear of the case, place the level on
the stainless steel rear ledge.
Check plumb at the
center and ends
to ensure that the case is truly level
and that
all
legs of the case are supporting the weight
of the case equally, front and rear and side to side.
2. Set the fi rst case, and adjust the legs over the highest
part of the fl oor so that case is level as described
above. Prevent case damage: if lifting the case, it
must be raised under the legs, the leg tubes or by
the use of the wood 2" x 6" or 2" x 4" leg braces if
applicable. Remove the side and back leg braces
after
the case is set.
3. Set the second case as close as possible to the fi rst
case, and level the second case to the fi rst using the
instructions in step 1. This will be a mock-up only. The
fi nal leveling of the case will be rechecked once they
are bolted together in steps 7 and 8.
4. Apply masking tape 1/8" in from end of case on
the inside and outside rear mullion and to the side
bulkheads on both cases to be joined. The tape will
minimize cleanup from sealant overfl ow when the
cases are drawn together. (It can also be left in place
on the upper case mullions and exterior bodywork for
fi nish caulking with silicone in step 9.)
