INSTALLATION
Location
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor
strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded unit can weigh as much
as 1500 pounds. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the most efficient
refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out
.
Inside cabinet
Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the rear of the unit.
It is important to allow for proper air flow from the rear to the front of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow can
cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan.
However, bags and other items can still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. Air is brought into the
evaporator coil with
fans. Prevent obstruction to allow the outlet or inlet of air flow.
Outside cabinet
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2" from any wall
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the doors will line up with the frames properly.
Use a level to make sure the unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units supplied with legs will
have adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary adjustments. If the unit is supplied with casters, no
adjustments are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located is level.
Stabilizing
All models are supplied with casters for your convenience. It is very important, however, that the cabinet
be installed in a stable condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24 hours before
start-up to allow compressor oil to flow back to place. Failure to meet this requirement can cause
compressor failure and unit damage.
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit warranties if due to improper installation
procedures.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be
sure the unit is connected to the proper power source.
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
