RECEIVING YOUR NEW MODEL
Congratulations on your recent purchase of Continental Refrigerator superior food
equipment products! When your shipment arrives, please thoroughly examine the
shipping crate for any punctures, dents, or signs of rough handling. It is in your best
interest to partially remove or open the shipping container in order to examine the
model for any concealed damages which may have occurred during shipment. If the
model is damaged, it must be noted on the delivering carrier's delivery slip or bill of
lading (see “filing a damage claim” under warranty section).
GENERAL INFORMATION AND IMPORTANT OPERATING FACTS
This manual has been compiled to aid in the installation, operation and maintenance
of your new equipment. Please take the time to read all of the material in order to
become more familiar with your equipment and its operation, and enjoy optimum
performance.
No floor drains or plumbing connections are required since all models are completely
self-defrosting and use an automatic defrost condensate water evaporating system
(see “condensate evaporator pan installation” under installation and location section).
All cabinets must be given sufficient time to reach normal operating temperature
before placing any food inside cabinet or pans (if equipped). For refrigerators,
approximately 1 hour of operation is required to lower the cabinet and pan
temperature to 40°F. During pull-down of open top models, pans should be in
place and top lid should be kept closed. Freezers require approximately
2 hours of operation to lower the cabinet temperature to 0°F (see “operation”
section for further information).
On all open top refrigerators with salad pans, it is strongly recommended that the top
lid be kept in the closed position when the unit is not in use or between rush periods.
This is extremely important during the summer months and in hot kitchens.
Do not
keep the top lid open for prolonged periods of time and
never
operate open top
models without all pans in place. Please note that sandwich and pizza preparation
tables are not intended for overnight food storage in the open top pans.
Prior to factory shipping, all models are performance run tested for a minimum of
12 hours providing a highly sophisticated temperature analysis recording exclusive
to each individual cabinet. This recording is supplied within this manual packet. A
final leak check, vibration, noise level and visual examination is made by a qualified
quality control team to assure a quality product. The carrier signs to this effect when
he accepts the product for shipping. To insure the maximum in safety and sanitation,
all models are listed under the reexamination service of underwriter's laboratories
and with the national sanitation foundation.
