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 so as
to allow compressor oil to flow back to the sump. Failure to
meet this requirement can cause compressor failure and unit
damage.
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit
warranties due to improper installation procedures.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on the specifications page, 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 con nec tion of the line cord, or permanent connection
to the unit.
The thermostat must be turned to OFF and the unit
disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or
cleaning the refrigerated area.
Power Switch
Select units are equipped with a power disconnect switch
located next to the energy saver switch and thermostat control
knob. Switch must be in the “on” position for the unit to
operate. On freezers, if the switch is turned off, then returned
to the on position, the unit will enter a defrost cycle and the
display will read “Def.”
Upon powering unit, there could be up to a 10
minute delay before unit begins to cool.
Installation
Location
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use
only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough
to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully
loaded 6000XL series can weigh as much as 1500 pounds.
Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum
loading. For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide
good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet:
Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot
circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of
the unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the
top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow
can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature
or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The rear
of the unit has molded ribs and the shelves have a rear turn
up on them to prevent this. However,
bags and other items can still be
located to the far rear of the cabinet.
There is also a return air diffuser
along the top front of the cabinet
interior, this also requires proper air
circulation. Prevent obstruction by
locating large boxes and tall stacks of
product to the bottom of the cabinet.
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 with at least 12” of clear space above the
unit. 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.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because
the doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will
not be subject to undue strain and the contents of the cabinet
will not move around on the shelves. Use a level to make sure
the unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units
supplied with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to make the
necessary adjustments. If the unit is supplied with casters, no
adjustments are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is
to be located is level.
