Overview

This document is a user manual for Beverage-Air UCR Refrigerators, providing comprehensive information for installation, operation, and maintenance.

Function Description:

The Beverage-Air UCR Refrigerators are designed for commercial use, suitable for bars and restaurants. They are also suitable for installation in residences where commercial service companies may not be able to service them on site. These units are designed to maintain specific internal temperatures, ensuring proper storage of perishable goods. The refrigerators are equipped with a control system that allows users to monitor and adjust the internal temperature, and they feature a robust construction suitable for demanding commercial environments.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual provides a detailed product information table, including cabinet dimensions (width x depth x height), door type, number of doors or drawers, full load amps, power cord plug (NEMA), and refrigerant type/charge. For example, models like UCR20HC and UCR20HC-25 have dimensions of 20 x 24 1/2 x 31 1/8 inches and 20 x 25 x 31 1/8 inches, respectively. They typically feature solid or glass doors and require 1 or 2 full load amps. Refrigerant types vary by model, with examples like R-290. The units are designed for operation in controlled environments, with a minimum ambient temperature of 104°F and a maximum of 127°F. The room air temperature can range from 60°F to 100°F. Electrical specifications indicate that the units are cord-connected and require a 115-volt power supply, typically with a 5-15P plug. Some models may be equipped with GFCI/GFCI outlets. The standard setting for the cabinet temperature is 38°F.

Usage Features:

The refrigerators are designed for ease of use and mobility, featuring casters for easy movement. However, it is crucial to lock the casters when the unit is in use to prevent accidental movement. The control panel allows users to adjust the set point for the cabinet temperature, with options to increase or decrease the temperature. The display shows the current temperature, and flashing indicators signal when the temperature set point is being adjusted. The control panel also includes LED indicators for defrost, fan operation, and compressor status, providing visual feedback on the unit's operational state. Alarm codes are provided to help diagnose issues, such as high or low air temperature, condenser temperature, or line voltage problems. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper clearance around the unit for optimal performance, recommending 0 inches on the top, left, and right, 3 inches on the bottom, and 2 inches on the rear. This ensures adequate airflow and prevents overheating.

Maintenance Features:

The manual outlines a comprehensive maintenance schedule to ensure the longevity and efficient operation of the refrigerator. Daily maintenance includes wiping down the cabinet and cleaning the interior. Weekly tasks involve cleaning all food-related items, storing food at a safe temperature, disconnecting power to the unit (unplugging or switching the breaker off), removing all loose food particles from the inside walls, floor, door liner, and ceiling, and scrubbing all interior surfaces and door gaskets with a warm detergent solution and a soft scrub brush. Quarterly maintenance includes cleaning the condenser coil, and annually, the gaskets should be inspected, and routine maintenance should be performed. Condenser cleaning is a critical maintenance task, recommended every four months or more frequently depending on the environment. The process involves unplugging the unit, removing the Phillips head screws to access the condenser, and cleaning the condenser surface with a brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint. The manual also provides detailed instructions for cleaning stainless steel surfaces, recommending specific methods and products to avoid damage to the finish. Troubleshooting guides are included to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as unit not cooling, compressor hums, or excessive noise. For service, it is recommended to use a Beverage-Air recommended technician certified to repair R290 equipment, and only Beverage-Air factory service parts should be used. The warranty information specifies the terms and conditions for parts and labor, compressor, and additional components, emphasizing that proper maintenance is essential to avoid voiding the warranty.
