NSF Certified Temperature Gauge

NSF Certified Temperature Gauge

This appliance is equipped with an NSF certified temperature gauge to display cabinet internal temperature. The temperature gauge is located on the top right side of the evaporator housing inside the unit.

Fluorescent Lamp (Glass Door Models)

The Glass Door Refrigerator is equipped with a 17 watt fluorescent lamp. A ballast – lamp mismatch may result in poor or no lighting.

If the lamp fails, replace with a lamp of the same type and wattage. Also, replace a lamp that flickers continuously. This could damage the ballast.

Turning the light off, when not in use, will save energy. However, frequent ON-OFF cycling will reduce the lamp life.

Use only NSF certified lamp which can be ordered from your Frigidaire Commercial Service Center by calling 1-866-738-1640.

Interior Light (Stainless Steel Door Models)

The Stainless Steel Door models are equipped with a 40 watt bulb that lights up when the door is opened. If the bulb goes bad, replace with bulb of the same type and wattage. This is a special bulb with a shatterproof coating. Use only an NSF certified bulb of the same type and wattage which can be ordered from your Frigidaire Commercial Service Center by calling 1-866-738- 1640.

Routine Maintenance

Cleaning the Interior

Be sure to turn the temperature control to “OFF” and unplug the electrical cord. Wash the inside surface of the storage area with warm water and baking soda solution (about one tablespoon of baking soda per quart of warm water). Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water and wipe dry.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the cabinet exterior occasionally with a cloth dampened in mild detergent and water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments that can

scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent or touch the residue with the sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE SERIAL PLATE.

Condensate Pan

Some models have a condensate pan in a fixed position located behind the toe grill. This must not be removed from under the cabinet. If the pan is removed, condensate will drop onto the floor.

POWER FAILURE

DO NOT open the appliance lid unnecessarily if the appliance is off for several hours.

If a power failure occurs, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice into the appliance every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under “Dry Ice”, “Dairies”, or “Ice Cream Manufacturers” for local dry ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution when handling dry ice.

Energy Conservation Measures

This appliance is designed for efficiency with heavy foam insulation. However, there are things that the user can do to maintain the appliance in operating condition.

Do not operate the appliance any colder than necessary to maintain safe, product storage temperatures.

Make sure the appliance is located to prevent direct exposure to sunlight, air ducts, etc.

Keep the door closed except for normal use. Inspect the door often to see that it self-closes and the gaskets are in good condition.

Do not overstock the product in the cabinet because it will block the normal air flow.

Have at least annual inspections by a qualified service company to see that the refrigerant charge is correct.

This appliance operates more efficiently in a cooler ambient than in a hot ambient. Try to maintain an ambient below 80ºF (27ºC) and 65% RH (Relative Humidity) for maximum efficiency.

Periods of Non-use and Moving Tips

Leave the appliance operating during periods of non-use of less than three (3) weeks.

Long Periods of Non-use

If the appliance will not be used for several months:

Remove all food and unplug the power cord.

Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

Leave the appliance door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.

Moving

When moving the appliance , follow these guidelines to prevent damage:

Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the appliance .

Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage.

In the moving vehicle, secure appliance in an upright position to prevent movement. Also, protect outside of appliance with a blanket or similar item.
