Installation
Location
These units 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 72”
(183cm) long model may weigh as much as 1500 pounds
(680kg)! Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for
maximum loading.
It is very important to allow for proper air flow, both inside
and outside.
Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves, ovens and
other pieces of cooking equipment.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no
closer than 1” (2.54cm) from any wall. Do not
install the unit near any combustible material or
object affected by heat or moisture.
PDL models also require 14" (36cm) clearance
at the top and 6" (15cm) clearance at the bottom
(casters).
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because
the drain pan will drain properly, the doors will line up with
the frames properly, and the cabinet will not be subject to
undue strain.
A unit on legs will have an adjustable bullet foot on each
leg, adjust each for a level unit. A unit on casters will not
be adjustable. Be sure the unit is on a level floor, make
necessary changes to the floor for proper level.
Lock all front casters to ensure the stability of the unit.
Plumbing
Self-contained models are standard with a condensate evaporator.
If, for some reason a unit does not have a condensate evaporator,
or if the evaporator fails, the unit’s drain must have an outlet to
an appropriate drainage area or container. A refrigerated rail
will have a 1" (2.54cm) drain which will need to be run to an
appropriate floor drain or container. The drain will be stubbed
to the bottom of the machine compartment. Either run drain
to a floor drain or add a valve to the base of the machine
compartment and drain the rail to a container when convenient.
The LiquiTec option will NOT have a drain available.
Moisture collecting from improper drainage can
create a slippery surface on the floor and a hazard
to employees. It is the owner’s responsibility to
provide a container or outlet for drainage.
Electrical connection
Refer to the specification pages amperage data, 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 connection of
the line cord, or permanent connection of the unit.
Self-contained units with a cord and plug have an ON/OFF
switch located directly behind the louvered panel covering the
compressor section. Simply turn the switch to ON to begin
operation.
The power switch must be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service or maintenance
functions.
Never operate the unit without the louvered panel
in place!
If electrical receptacles are to be mounted in the unit’s
backsplash, they must be wired independently from the
existing unit wiring.
