Temperature control
If the condensing unit does not run after the power cord is plugged in, check that the temperature control
is in the “on” position. This can be done with an ordinary screwdriver. After the system has operated for
several hours, the temperature control may be adjusted to suit your needs. Turn it clockwise to make it
colder and counterclockwise to make it warmer. Do not make more than 1/4 turn at one time; then allow it
to operate for several hours before making any further adjustment. Once it is set there should be no need
to change it.
After the cabinet has been used for a while, if you should notice any great change in termperature, do not
attempt to compensate for it by turning the control. It is much more likely that there is some other problem
and a qualified refrigeration service person should be called.
Automatic defrosting
All freezers are equipped with a time clock which should be set to the correct time of day when the
cabinet is put into operation. Instructions are posted on the inside of the door to the time clock. The black
portion of the dial is night. The time clock on top-mounted cabinets is set behind the front grill which is
easily removed by sliding it up and outward.

CAUTION
- Make sure the power supply is turned off before making any electrical repairs.
If any electrical problems arise, a wiring diagram is included with each cabinet to aid in tracing the source
of trouble and making the necessary repairs.
Light switches
Each hinged solid door has a switch which will turn on the interior light whenever the door is opened. In
most cases the switch may be examined or exchanged without removing the mounting bracket. Place a
knife blade or similar tool behind the switch flange and pry it out. To replace the switch, disconnect the
leads from the terminals and attach them to the new switch and snap it back in place. Make sure there
are no breaks or bare wires to cause a short before putting the switch back.
