INSTALLATION
UNCRATING
Move your new unit as close to the final location as possible before
unpacking. Remove the wooden planks or skid. This unit requires a
minimum of 4 inches of air flow space in back and 3 inches on the
sides and top.
Do not store material on the top of this unit.
PLEASE NOTE!
Your refrigerator or freezer is designed for INDOOR
USE and should be operated in an air conditioned space with
temperature between 65°F to 85°F.
LEVELING
You can level your unit with the screw-type adjustable leveling legs on the front corners of the
unit. Turn counterclockwise to raise the corner; turn clockwise to lower it. Leveling legs are
required in front only. Unit may have a slight tilt from front to back after legs are installed. This
is acceptable and is recommended on this unit.
POWER SOURCE
This unit is equipped with 18 IN FACTORY SEALED WIRING. THESE WIRES MUST BE HARD
WIRED THROUGH SEALED CONDUIT TO THE POWER SOURCE PER NFPA AND NEC. VOLTAGE
SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 5% FROM SERIAL PLATE RATINGS. PROTECT THE CIRCUIT
WITH A 20 AMP DELAY-TYPE FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.
STARTING
There are no compressor shipping bolts to loosen or valves to open. All that is necessary after
the unit has been properly connected and leveled is to energize the circuit. When starting this
new appliance, allow the cabinet to operate a minimum of eight hours, or until it has started
cycling normally, before placing product in the cabinet. The motor compressor may start and
stop several times when the unit is first started or after defrosting, especially if the weather is
very hot. This is normal operation of the motor overload protector. The motor compressor will
cycle normally as soon as the excess heat has been removed.
DOOR BINS (not applicable to all models)
Your unit may come equipped with storage bins in the door. Because of the temperature
characteristics of these units, items stored in these bins may not be maintained in the desired
temperature band. Please restrict the use of these bins for non-critical temperature storage.
