Start-UP
Storage and Transportation:
The merchandiser should be stored and
transported in an upright position. It is not
recommended to tilt the merchandiser. If the
merchandiser is tilted beyond 45° of vertical, oil
may drain from the compressor causing premature
failure.
Do Not
stack merchandisers on top of one another
due to risk of falling. Falling merchandisers could
result in damaged units or serious injuries. It is
recommended to use warehouse racking design to
accommodate the weight of the merchandisers
and prevent falling.
Packaging:
Prior to installation, the outer packaging on the
merchandiser will need to be removed. The
majority of the packaging materials can be
recycled and disposed of in an environmentally
friendly manner. Glass door models are shipped
with door support brackets installed between the
merchandiser's door opening(s) and the bottom
rail of the door. These support brackets must be
removed prior to operation of the merchandiser.
Failure to remove the brackets will affect the seal
of the door gasket to the cabinet face.
Installation
Note:
Leer Ice Merchandisers are commercial in
design and not intended for residential use
Placing Merchandiser:
When placing the merchandiser, allow a minimum
of 3 inches of air space from all surfaces of the
cabinet and any surrounding structures. This air
space allows for air flow over the surface of the
cabinet, thus reducing condensation and aid in the
drying of these surfaces. On outdoor auto-defrost
models, the 3-inch space behind the merchandiser
will also help ensure that the evaporator drain
tube, which exits the back wall, is not being
restricted during the defrost cycle. For Pallet
Load Front Units see the special instructions at
the end of this manual.
Merchandiser Leveling:
The merchandiser installation location should
have a solid, level base. If the merchandiser is
exhibiting a slight forward lean, the front of the
cabinet should be blocked to bring the cabinet to a
level position. A forward lean may affect proper
draining of the unit cooler assembly during the
defrost cycle.
Electrical:
Warning! Component parts shall only be
replaced with like components. Electrical work
and servicing should be done by licensed
professionals. Disconnect power before
performing service, certain models may
contain multiple voltages. Leer does not
assume responsibility for any damage to people
or things deriving from violation, improper use
or in any case not in compliance with Leer’s
instructions.
The Merchandiser must be plugged into a
dedicated and properly grounded 115V/60hz/1Ph
circuit with a circuit fuse or breaker rated at a 15
or 20 Amps depending on model. The electrical
service connections to the merchandiser must be
compliant with the National Electric Code and
any local codes that may apply.
DO NOT
use
extension cords. Models that come with the 20
Amp plug configuration should not be removed.
Models covered in this manual come with a main
power switch. Make sure the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging the merchandiser into the
outlet. Plug the merchandiser power cord into the
lower receptacle of the electrical outlet. Turn the
switch into the ON position. The light fixture
should start immediately when power is applied.
After a 2-minute delay, the compressor and the
condenser fans should start if a defrost is not
required. The evaporator fans will start once if the
evaporator temperature is under 75 degrees. The
condensing unit will continue to run until the air
temperature in the cabinet r16° F.
WARNING:
Operating more than one appliance
on the same circuit may result in voltage
fluctuations when both appliances are operating
simultaneously. This voltage fluctuation may
cause the circuit breaker to trip and/or may cause
