Compressor Mounts

Some Q Series units have the compressor specially mounted to help prevent damage during shipment. If the compressor is mounted on shipping blocks, remove the shipping blocks before operating the compressor. If the compressor is mounted on springs, refer to the tag attached to the compressor.

Condensate Evaporator

Q Series cabinets, except for remote or over/under units, are equipped with an automatic condensate evaporator and require no drain connection.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Cord Connected Reach-Ins) 120 Volt, 60 Hertz, 1 Phase

WARNING: THIS MACHINE IS PROVIDED WITH A THREE-PRONGED GROUNDING PLUG. THE OUTLET TO WHICH THIS PLUG IS CONNECTED MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF THE RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Permanently Connected Reach-Ins)

WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH INDICATING THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.

Make electrical connections per the wiring diagram supplied with the unit.

PRESTART CHECKS

REFRIGERANT LINES — Check for tubing shifts due to shipping that would cause operating noise, wear or leaks.

SELECTOR SWITCH (Convertible Models Only) — The selector switch should be set to the proper position. To gain access to the switch, remove the front trim panel (Fig. 2) by raising it up (to clear the retaining slots) and out. Set the switch on the proper position (Refrigerator or Freezer) and replace the trim panel.

OPERATIONAL CHECK — The refrigeration and defrost cycles should be checked for proper operation and the thermometer(s) should also be checked for correct temperature indication — before product is stored in the cabinet.

DEFROST TIMER — On freezer units, set the defrost timer as described in Operation.

OPERATION

CONTROLS (Refrigeration)

TEMPERATURE CONTROL — The temperature control is set at the factory but local conditions may necessitate slight adjustment. To adjust the temperature control, lift up and remove the front trim panel (Fig. 2). Turn the control knob (Fig. 8) a small amount at a time. Turning the control knob in the direction of the arrow lowers the temperature. The control knob has a marked OFF position which interrupts power to the compressor and condenser fan only, not the entire reach-in.

NOTE: Over/under units have separate temperature controls for each refrigeration system. They are located on the front of each evaporator housing.
