6000XL Series Service and Installation Manual
Installation
Location
Units represented in this manual 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 6000XL series can weigh as much as 1500 pounds. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator 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 flow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The rear of the unit has molded ribs and 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. There is also a return air diffuser along the top front of the cabinet interior, this also requires proper air circulation. Prevent obstruction by locating large boxes and tall stacks of product to the bottom of the cabinet.
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. Avoid exposing glass door units to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight through the glass doors will make the ABS liner fade and become brittle and will greatly reduce refrigeration efficiency.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will not be subject to undue strain and the contents of the cabinet will not move around on the shelves. 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 floor where the unit is to be located is level.
Stabilizing
Some models are supplied on 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
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit warranties due to improper installation procedures.
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. A protected circuit of the correct voltage and amperage must be run for connection of the line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
The thermostat must be turned to OFF and the unit disconnected from the power source whenever performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
