INSTALLATION & OPERATION

Cleaning

Although your Zero Zone cases are thoroghly cleaned before shipping, the cases should be thoroughly cleaned again before start-up and 

routinely thereafter to maintain a clean appearance. Use mild detergent and warm water (never an abrasive cleaner) to wipe out the inside of 

the case before start-up. The case drain should be regularly cleared of debris and price tags.

Internal components are easily accessed by the removal of mounting screws and sheet metal component parts. The components can be 

cleaned using a mild detergent and warm water or a mild sanitizer. Once the wire racks and deck pans and are removed, the coil and drain 

pan can be flushed. All food products should be removed from the case when flushing with a hose. Do not use high-pressure water or steam to 

clean the interior.

UNDER CASE FLOOR CLEANING (NSF)

The floor underneath your Zero Zone display case can be cleaned by following a few simple steps:

1.  Remove the fasteners that hold the bottom kick plate to the display case. The fasteners are accessed from the front of the unit.
2. 

With the kick plates removed, remove paper and other debris (typically price tags or receipts) from the floor.

3.  Vacuum under the case to remove any dust build-up that may be present.
4.  Using a mild detergent and warm water, mop underneath the unit with a clean mop.
5. 

When finished mopping, squeegee any remaining water underneath the unit to the floor drains to speed the drying process. Replace the 

kick plates when the floor has dried.

GLASS SURFACES

Cleaning interior glass reduces fogging and increases visibility. Wipe down glass or plexiglass mirrors or ends with a glass cleaner. Do not use 

any products containing silicone or anti-fog.

Shelf Location

The shelves are adjustable in 1" increments and may be located in any position for best display advantage.

Wire shelf brackets are stamped with “R” for Right and “L” for left to aid installation.

Bottom basket is shipped in a tipped-forward position, but may be rotated 180° to obtain a flat position.

Shelves

Zero Zone manufactures many different styles of shelves, baskets, and product stops. Some of the baskets may be reversed and used as a 

typical shelf. Shelves are strapped to the shelf brackets for shipping. The fully assembled shelves are installed in cases prior to shipping.

Solid shelves have three parts. A solid center section and two snap-in brackets. Solid shelves can be disassembled for cleaning. A screwdriver 

can be used to spread the snap open to remove the brackets from the center section.

Loading the Case

The case may be loaded with merchandise after it has been operated for at least 24 hours with correct case temperature and proper control 

operation. While loading the shelves, leave a minimum of 1" air space between the top of the merchandise and the shelf above it so the 

customer can remove the merchandise. The air space allows an air curtain on top of the product. Product should not extend beyond the front of 

the shelves or block the return air grill. The shelf loads are as follows:
