Basic Case Operations
1. The case’s condensing unit (mounted on top of the case) cycles off and on during normal operation. When the inside of the case is warm,
the compressor turns on. When the inside of the case is cold, the compressor turns off.
2. On medium temp cases, the fans run all of the time. On low temp cases, the fans run when the evaporator temperature is below 30ºF,
except when in defrost.
3. The case goes into defrost two times per day. The defrost lasts between 30 and 50 minutes. At the end of the defrost, the low temp doors
may fog on the inside. This is normal. During the defrost, the air in the ducts can warm up to 40ºF for a medium temp case and 60ºF for a
low temp case. Product temperatures within the case will not rise above acceptable levels, however. Product in medium temp cases will
remain at or below 41ºF and product inside low temp cases will remain frozen.*
4. The lights remain on at all times unless the light switch located in the right-hand door frame is switched off.
5. The water removal system has a maximum capacity of two gallons. When cleaning the interior of the case, do not use more than this
amount of liquid.
*Please consult the Zero Zone Service Department on case defrost characteristics for non-standard defrost settings.
