Installation Instructions
1. Inspect for any freight damage upon delivery
of the unit. If damage is detected, immediately
report it to an Everest representative. Everest
is not responsible for damage that occurs
during shipment.
2. Keep the unit upright at all times. The
compressor contains oil, refrigerant, lubricants
and various chemicals. When tilted, these
fluids may shift and travel to sections where
they don’t naturally occur. This will lead to
system contamination and compressor failure.
3. Some units require caster installation for
proper performance. Visit our website at www.
everestREF.com and enter your product’s
model number in the search field to determine
its caster requirements.
4. Do not place your hands under the top surface
lip or on the unit chassis when moving it to
avoid injury from sharp edges, protruding parts
or weight impact.
5. Select a location with good air ventilation.
Poor ventilation rapidly increases ambient
temperature. High ambient temperatures
exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive
compressor activity in order to maintain the
desired cabinet temperature. This will result in
decreased performance, advanced component
failure and the risk of fire.
6. Position the unit so it’s front and left vents
as well as top pan area are away from
heat-generating equipment such as stoves,
ovens, etc. Heat sources rapidly increase the
temperature of the immediate vicinity. High
temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote
excessive compressor activity in order to
maintain the desired cabinet temperature. This
will result in decreased performance, advanced
component failure and the risk of fire.
7. A distance of 6” is required for back side
and left side clearance. This ensures proper
ventilation and prevents overheating which can
lead to advanced component failure and the
risk of fire.
8. Select a location with a hard, leveled surface.
Use a leveling tool on the unit to ensure
proper alignment. Proper door function and
condensate removal is dependent on accurate
balance. Install the front leg stabilizers for units
that come standard with it to ensure proper
door / drawer functions and unit stability.
9. Select a location close to an electrical wall
outlet to ensure direct connection without the
use of extension cords.
10. Select a location away from severe moisture
conditions. This may compromise the unit’s
electrical components and lead to electrical
shocks or the risk of fire.
11. Select a location that will not expose the unit
to extremely dusty conditions. Environments
with high dust and debris content will
significantly hasten condenser blockage and
will result in decreased performance, advanced
component failure and the risk of fire.
12. Do not build an enclosure or cabinet around
the unit. This will restrict air ventilation
resulting in elevated compressor activity,
decreased performance, advanced component
failure and the risk of fire.
13. The unit is not intended for use in food trucks.
Limited space, lack of ventilation and ambient
temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) typical to
this setting will result in elevated compressor
activity, decreased performance, advanced
component failure and the risk of fire.
14. The unit is intended for indoor use only.
Outdoor use will cause a decrease in
performance, advanced component failure
and the risk of fire.
This section applies to all Everest products. Correct installation ensures proper performance
and longevity of your appliance. Professional installation by a trained refrigeration technician
and electrician is recommended. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.
