Service Manual for Refrigerated Back Bar Model RUF 48

Drain Maintenance – Base

Located at the rear of each unit is a drain hose, 

which  removes  the  condensation  from  the 

evaporator coil and deposits it into a drain pan 

for evaporation (see Figure 3).

Figure 3 

Location of Drain hose and Drain Pan

If excessive water accumulates inside the unit, 

check  to  see  that  the  drain  hose  is  connected 

from the evaporator housing to the drain pan. If 

water  accumulates  underneath  the  unit,  check 

to see that the drain hose is located above the 

drain pan.

A level unit is essential for proper drainage. Be 

sure  to  provide  a  level  surface  below  the  unit, 

especially if the floor is not level. Keep the drain 

pan free from dirt, dust and debris to prevent water 

from backing up and overflowing from the drain 

pan onto the floor.
