Structural Concepts ENCORE Series - WEEKLY CLEANING (to be PERFORMED by STORE PERSONNEL) - PAGE 1 of 4

Note: Full defrost process takes at least 6 hours (and is often performed overnight).
Caution! You must remove product from case and place in freezer PRIOR TO defrosting this unit.
See step #1, below.
1. Remove product from case. Place in
freezer.
2. Determine whether your case has a Drain
Spout and Valve (at rear of case).
 If your case does NOT have a Drain Spout
and Valve, you may jump to Step 5 in these
instructions.
 See illustrations at right for several valve
designs.
3. Connect hose (1” I.D.) to drain spout and
run to floor drain or bucket. Or, if no hose is available, place bucket under drain spout.
4. After hose is connected (or bucket is in place), crank drain valve to
External Drain position. This will allow the water to drain into floor drain
(or bucket) while case is defrosting.
Defrost Procedure: This step takes place AFTER product has been
removed and placed in freezer.
5. Locate temperature controller and main power switch (at rear-left or
rear-right of your case) as shown in illustration at right.
6. Become familiar with the temperature controller. See illustration below.
7. Case must now be placed in manual defrost mode. To do so, press and hold the Defrost Key
(shown at right) for 5 seconds.
8. Defrost light (shown at left) will come on if defrost key has been properly pressed. If defrost light
is not on, repeat step 7.
9. After 15 to 20 minutes, defrost light will turn off. Turn OFF main power switch. Allow to sit at
least 6 hours (or overnight) before proceeding to next step.
 Do not be alarmed if, after Defrost Light turns off, Compressor Light (shown at right) comes on.
Turn off main power anyway.
