Installation

Location

Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and its contents. Certain cabinets with its contents in this line can weigh up to 1500 pounds. The floor must be capable of supporting twice that weight.

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.

For the most efficient operation, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.

Inside cabinet: Do not pack the equipment so full that air

CAUTION

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 flow back to the sump.

cannot circulate.

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 and should have a 12” clearance above. 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.

Caster/leg installation

Units are normally shipped with casters and legs installed. However, units that are shipped with the casters or legs loose will require installation of those components. During installation of the casters/legs the unit must be adequately stabilized.

Failure to do this could result in damage to the equipment or serious injury to the operator.

First, remove the two bolts from the bottom of the unit holding it to the pallet. These bolts are located under the wood deck on the pallet and can be loosened with a 3/4” open end or socket wrench. Carefully slide the unit on the pallet until one of the sets of four holes for the casters/legs are exposed. Take the caster/leg and align the holes on its mounting plates with the holes in the bottom of the unit. Using four 5/16-18 self- threading bolts supplied with the unit secure the caster/leg to the unit using a 1/2” open end or socket wrench. These bolts will require considerable force to tighten. Repeat the process on the other three casters/legs.

Leveling

A level cabinet looks better and performs more efficiently. It also helps with the proper closing of the doors and prevents undue strain on the unit. Place a level on top of the unit from front to back and left to right. To level a unit on legs, turn the foot counterclockwise to extend and clockwise to retract. The foot can be turned with a 1” open end or adjustable wrench.

To level a unit on casters, four leveling shims are provided with one and two door units, six shims are provided with three door units. These shims are 1/16” thick galvanized plates 1 3/8”W x 3 3/4” L. Place the required number of shims under the proper caster to level the unit. Once the unit is level loosen the four mounting screws holding the caster to the rail on which the caster(s) shims were placed. Remove the shims from under the caster and insert between the mounting plate and the rail. Tighten the mounting screws.

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 temperature control must be turned off and the unit disconnected from the power source whenever performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.

Field Reversing doors is not recommended and will void product warranty.

Maintenance

The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm water. If this isn’t sufficient, try ammonia and water or a non- abrasive liquid cleaner. When cleaning the exterior, always rub with the “grain” of the metal to avoid marring the finish.

Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the metal and plastic.

Cleaning the condenser

In order to maintain proper refrigeration and energy perfor- mance the condensing unit must be cleaned regularly. Failure to perform these cleanings could result in compressor failure and/or product loss. At least every 30 days the condenser coil should be cleaned of dust, dirt and grease. To perform this

service, disconnect the electrical power from the unit. Remove the louver by taking out the top screws and lifting off the bottom catches. Using a vacuum or stiff brush remove dust and other obstructions from the front of the condenser. If

the dirt is more stubborn a commercial condenser cleaner is available, please consult your factory service person for more information. When finished replace the louver and reconnect the electrical power.

Door gaskets should be cleaned as required to maintain their ability to seal properly. Do not use sharp tools or knives to scrape the bellows as this may tear the gasket and eliminate its ability to seal. A soft bristle brush and solution of soap and water will keep the gaskets clean. Do not use full strength de-greasing agents on the gasket.
