the electrical requirement on the nameplate. Please make sure that your unit has its own dedicated outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
The temperature controls are preset at the factory to maintain an average temperature of 38 F in refrigerators. To maintain a different temperature, simply adjust the control knob located inside the unit. Temperature ranges from 7 (coldest) to 1 (warmest). Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting may cause the evaporator coil to freeze and ice up. This will eventually make the cabinet become warm, which is not recommended.
Appliance Start‐up
Once the appliance has been located in its permanent location and the proper power and grounding has been provided, the following items must be checked or completed:
after the first defrost cycle.
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.
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the appliance to cool down completely before loading with food. The appliance will run continuously for the first several hours. Do not place any food in the appliance until after the first 24 hours of operation.
Thermostat Setting
The appliance is shipped from the factory with the thermostat set at about the midpoint of the operating range. Adjustments colder or warmer can be made after the appliance has been running for at least 8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for temperature stabilization before readjusting the thermostat.
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.
Defrost Setting
The appliance is designed to defrost automatically every 12 hours. To set the time of defrost, wait until the desired time to defrost. With the notch on the timer knob aligned with the line on the bracket (Fig. A), turn the defrost timer knob clockwise slowly. The timer will click several times, then once loudly, at which point the defrost cycle begins. The timer knob will advance through the defrost cycle, then click loudly at the end of the cycle (Fig. B). The appliance will defrost automatically every 12 hours
Operation
Run the unit for at least 24 hours before loading.
When loading the unit:
•Be careful not to block the air duct located at the back and the fan on the ceiling of the unit with contents.
•Blocking the air flow may cause decrease in performance.
