Service, Installation & Care Manual

INSTALLATION
Location:
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen has
a oor strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded unit can
weigh as much as 1500 pounds. Reinforce the oor as necessary to provide for maximum loading.
For the most efcient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet:
Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top
rear of the unit. It is important to allow for proper air ow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit.
Obstructions to this air ow can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature or over-
ow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The shelves have a rear turn up on them to prevent
this. However, bags and other items can still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. Air is brought
into the evaporator coil with fans mounted to the front of the coil.
Outside cabinet:
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and
ovens. It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2” from any wall with at least 12”
of clear space above the unit.
Electrical connection:
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical
Code to be sure the unit is connected to the proper power source.
Leveling:
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the doors will line up with the frames
properly. Use a level to make sure the unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units
supplied with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary adjustments. If the unit is
supplied with casters, no adjustments are available. Ensure the oor where the unit is to be located
is level.
Stabilizing:
All models are supplied with casters for your convenience, ease of cleaning underneath and for
mobility. It is very important, however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable condition with the
front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24
hours before start-up to allow compressor oil to ow back into place. Failure to meet this
requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit warranties if due to
improper installation procedures.
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the
refrigerated area.
NOTE!
DANGER!
