User Information

STOCKING
Improper temperature and lighting will cause serious prod-
uct loss. Discoloration, dehydration and spoilage can be
controlled with proper use of the equipment and handling
of product. Product temperature should always be main-
tained at a constant and proper temperature. This means
that from the time the product is received, through stor-
age, preparation and display, the temperature of the prod-
uct must be controlled to maximize life of the product.
Hussmann cases were not designed to “heat up” or “cool
down” product—but rather to maintain an item’s proper
temperature for maximum shelf life. To achieve the pro-
tection required always:

1. Minimize processing time to avoid damaging tem-

perature rise to the product. Product should be at
proper temperature.

2. Keep the air in and around the case area free of

foreign gasses and fumes or food will rapidly dete-
riorate.

3. Maintain the display merchandisers temperature

controls as outlined in the refrigerator section of
this manual.

4. Do not place any product into these refrigerators

until all controls have been adjusted and they are
operating at the proper temperature. Allow mer-
chandiser to operate a minimum of 6 hours before
stocking with any product.

5. When stocking, never allow the product to extend

beyond the recommended load limit.  Air dis-
charge and return air flue  must be unob-
structed at all times to provide proper refrig-
eration.

6. There are vents located at the base of the front of

the glass, just  above the front rail. These vents supply
a continuous, gentle flow of air across the front glass
which inhibits condensation.  Do not place any
signs or other restrictive objects on the front
of the refrigerator that will block these vents.

7. Avoid the use of supplemental flood or spot lighting.

Display light intensity has been designed for maxi-
mum visibility and product life at the factory. The use
of higher output fluorescent lamps (H.O. and V.H.O.),
will shorten the shelf life of the product.

8. Do not set temperature too cold, as this causes

product dehydration.
Process the meat to enter case at 40

°

 or below.

Product deterioration is very rapid above 40

°

.

CASE CLEANING
Long life and satisfactory performance of any equipment
are dependent upon the care given to it. To insure long life,
proper sanitation and minimum maintenance costs, the
refrigerator should be thoroughly cleaned frequently. SHUT
OFF FAN DURING CLEANING PROCESS. It can be un-
plugged within the case, or shut off case at the source. The
interior bottom may be cleaned with any domestic soap
or detergent based cleaners. Sanitizing solutions will not
harm the interior bottom, however, these solutions should
always be used according to the manufacturer’s directions.
It is essential to establish and regulate cleaning procedures.
This will minimize bacteria causing discoloration which
leads to degraded product appearance and significantly
shortening product shelf life.

Soap and hot water are not enough to kill this bacteria.  A
sanitizing solution must be included with each cleaning pro-
cess to eliminate this bacteria.

1. Scrub thoroughly, cleaning all surfaces, with soap and

hot water.

2. Rinse with hot water, but do not flood.
3. Apply the sanitizing solution according to the

manufacturer’s directions.

4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Dry completely before resuming operation.

CLEANING GLASS & MIRRORS

Only use a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner for cleaning
any glass or mirrored components. Be sure to rinse and/
or dry completely.
Never use hot water on cold glass surfaces! It
may shatter  and cause serious injury!  Allow glass
surfaces to warm first.

CLEANING PRECAUTIONS

WHEN CLEANING:
• 

DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE WATER HOSES

• DO NOT INTRODUCE WATER FASTER THAN WASTE OUTLET CAN DRAIN
• NEVER ON A SELF CONTAINED UNIT WITH AN EVAPORATOR FAN
• NEVER USE A CLEANING OR SANITIZING SOLUTION THAT HAS AN OIL

BASE (these will dissolve the butyl sealants) or an AMMONIA BASE
(this will corrode the copper components of the case)

TO PRESERVE THE ATTRACTIVE FINISH:

• DO USE WATER AND A MILD DETERGENT FOR THE EXTERIOR ONLY
• DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR STEEL WOOL SCOURING PADS
