Stabilizing
Some models are supplied on casters for your convenience,
ease of cleaning underneath and for mobility. 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 so as to
allow compressor oil to flow back to the sump. Failure to meet
this requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.
Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit
warranties due to improper installation procedures.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on the specifications page, the serial
tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure
the unit is connected to the proper power source. A protected
circuit of the correct voltage and amperage must be run for con-
nec tion of the line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
The thermostat must be turned to OFF and
the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service, maintenance
functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
Power Switch
Select units are equipped with a power disconnect switch
located next to the energy saver switch and thermostat
control knob. Switch must be in the “on” position for the
unit to operate. On freezers, if the switch is turned off, then
returned to the on position, the unit will enter a defrost cycle
and the display will read “Def.”
Upon powering unit, there could be up to a 10
minute delay before unit begins to cool.
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
6000XL series 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 refrigerator so full that air cannot
circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of
the unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the
top rear to the bottom 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. The rear
of the unit has molded ribs and the shelves have a rear turn
up on them to prevent this. However,
bags and other items can still be
located to the far rear of the cabinet.
There is also a return air diffuser
along the top front of the cabinet
interior, this also requires proper air
circulation. Prevent obstruction by
locating large boxes and tall stacks of
product to the bottom of the cabinet.
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 with at least 12” of clear space above the
unit. Avoid exposing glass door units to direct sunlight. Direct
sunlight through the glass doors will make the ABS liner
fade and become brittle and will greatly reduce refrigeration
efficiency.
Leveling
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the
doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will not
be subject to undue strain and the contents of the cabinet will
not move around on the shelves. 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.
