Function Description:

Perlick Commercial Back Bar units are heavy-duty refrigeration systems designed for commercial use, primarily in bars and restaurants, to store and dispense beverages. They are equipped with various configurations to suit different needs, including standard doors, narrow doors, pass-thru designs, sliding doors, and direct draw systems for draft beer. Some models feature dual-zone refrigeration for storing different types of beverages, such as beer, white wine, and red wine, at their optimal temperatures. The units are designed to automatically maintain specific storage temperatures, typically around 36°F for general refrigeration, 45°F for white wine, and 60°F for red wine.

Important Technical Specifications:

Refrigerant: R290 Hydrocarbon Refrigerant, an eco-friendly option. The manual explicitly states that the product does not contain prohibited refrigerants like HFCs, CFCs, or HCFCs, complying with CARB and other HFC prohibition laws.
Insulation: Blown foam insulation using blowing agent R-611 (Methyl Formate), also free of HFCs, CFCs, or HCFCs.
Electrical Connection: Self-contained units come with a NEMA 5-15P 90° plug and a 6'5" cord. They require connection to a separately fused power source in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Extension cords are prohibited.
Drainage: Each unit has a floor drain in the right rear corner, connectable to an external floor drain via 3/4" NPT or 1" NPS thread connections. Self-contained models feature automatic condensate evaporation. Remote evaporator condensate plumbing requires sloping to a drain with a trap.
Temperature Control: Digital temperature controllers are used for precise temperature adjustments. Dual-zone models have separate controllers for each compartment.
Temperature Range (DZS Models): Adjustable range of 34°F - 42°F for refrigeration and 40°F - 60°F for wine. A minimum temperature difference of 10°F and a maximum difference of 30°F (DZS60) or 20°F (DZS36) between compartments are specified.
Door Overlays: Overlay panels should be 3/4" thick, with weight not exceeding 20 lbs for solid doors, 10 lbs for glass doors, or 10 lbs for drawer models.
Internal Lighting: Equipped with interior LED lights that illuminate when a manual rocker light switch is turned on.
Compressor Warranty: 5-year compressor warranty.

Usage Features:

Faucet and Dispensing Head Installation: Refers to separate instructions included with the respective kits for direct draw models.
Digital Temperature Control: Easy adjustment of set points using "SET" and arrow keys, with the display returning to cabinet temperature after 10 seconds.
