Refreshment Center Operators’ Guide

Initial Set-Up

 

 

Open the Rear Outlet Diffuser

The rear outlet diffuser vents warm air up and out of the back of the merchandiser, away from the air inlet (on the bottom of the cabinet). It is shipped in the closed position and must be opened before the merchandiser is put into service.

1. Remove the two screws holding the upper corners of the diffuser against the back of the cabinet.

Notice the two unused screw holes at the corners.

NOTE:

Wear protective gloves when bending diffuser to prevent injury.

2.Pull the top of the diffuser away from the cabinet, then bend the diffuser so that the unused screw holes align with the holes in the cabinet.

3. Use the two screws removed in step one to affix the diffuser to the cabinet in its new “open” position.

CAUTION

The merchandiser will not function properly if the Rear Outlet Diffuser is not open!

Position the Merchandiser

Move the merchandiser to its approximate position. There are certain procedures you need to perform before it is in its permanent location. Plug in your merchandiser and turn the power switch to ON.

You can position this merchandiser anywhere in a bank of machines. It can even be placed on an end flush against a side wall.

The merchandiser should be placed at least four inches away from the back wall (six inches if rear diffuser is not installed). This will provide adequate air circulation for the refrigeration unit. This will provide adequate air circulation for the refrigeration unit.

The merchandiser will operate more efficiently when placed in a shaded location.

There should be enough room in front of the merchandiser for the door to move freely.

CAUTION

This machine is only rated for installation at an indoor location.
