ENVIRONMENTAL LOCATION
These 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.
UNCRATING
Place the fixture 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 fixture can now be lifted off
the crate skid. Lift only at base of stand! (see following
pages for details)
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 fixture.
SETTING AND JOINING
The sectional construction of these models enable them
to be joined in line to give the effect of one continuous
display. A joint trim kit is supplied with each joint.
It is the contractor’s responsibility to install
case(s) according to local construction and
health codes.

LEVELING
IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT CASES
BE LEVELED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND SIDE
TO SIDE PRIOR TO JOINING. A LEVEL CASE IS
NECESSARY TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION,
WATER DRAINAGE, GLASS ALIGNMENT AND
OPERATION OF THE HINGES SUPPORTING THE
GLASS. LEVELING THE CASE CORRECTLY WILL
SOLVE MOST HINGE OPERATION PROBLEMS.
Note: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineup
leveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B. When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them
first.
TO AVOID REMOVING CONCRETE FLOORING, BEGIN
LINEUP LEVELING FROM THE HIGHEST POINT OF
THE STORE FLOOR.
WARNING
Levelling/Joining Instructions
Check floor where cases are to be set to see if it’s
level. Determine where the highest part of the floor
is. Cases will be shimmed off this point. Using case
blueprints, measure off and mark on floor the exact
dimensions of the case footprint. Snap chalk line for
front and back position of base rail. Mark location of
each joint front and back. Use a transit to find the
highest point along both lines. Mark the difference,
and place the appropriate number of shims.
FLOORS ARE NOT LEVEL!!!
When working with two or more merchandisers
to be joined, the whole lineup must be leveled
on the same plane, left to right and front to
back. This means that the entire lineup must be
brought up to the level of the highest case in the
lineup.
Along the lines previously marked, find the highest
point of the floor by:
• Walking the floor and noticing any dips or
mounds;
• Using a string level; and
• Using a transit.
