Start-UP
Storage and Transportation:
The freezer should be stored and transported in an
upright position. It is not recommended to tilt the
freezer. If the freezer is tilted beyond 45 degrees 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
freezer will need to be removed. The majority of the
packaging materials can be recycled and disposed
of in an environmentally friendly manner. The
wooden skid is secured to the underside of
merchandiser with hex-headed screws and will
require the use of a 3/8" hex-socket for screw
removal.
Installation
Freezer Placement:
When placing the freezer,
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 freezer will also help ensure that the
evaporator drain tube, which exits the back wall, is
not being restricted during the defrost cycle.
Freezer Leveling:
The freezer installation
location should have a solid, level base. If the
freezer is exhibiting a slight forward lean, the front
of the cabinet should be blocked to bring the cabinet
to a level position. On auto-defrost models, a
forward lean may affect proper draining of the unit
cooler assembly during the defrost cycle.

Leveling Kit (4 pc.) No. 5350029, which is
compatible for use on most cabinet models,
is available.
Contact the Merchandiser Sales Department at Leer,
Inc. for additional information.
Electrical:
Warning! Component parts shall only be
replaced with like components. Electrical and
servicing should be done by licensed
professionals. Disconnect power before
performing service. Certain models 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 freezer 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 freezer must be compliant with
national electric code and local codes that may
apply.
DO NOT
use extension cords. The 20 Amp
plug configuration, that some models come with,
should
NOT
be removed. Some models are
equipped with a main power switch. If so equipped,
make sure the switch is in the OFF position before
plugging the freezer into the outlet. Plug the freezer
power cord into the lower receptacle of the
electrical outlet. Turn the switch if equipped into
the ON position. After a few seconds delay, the
compressor and the condenser fans should start. The
light fixture should start immediately when power is
applied. The evaporator fans are set to operate only
if the evaporator coil temperature is <75℉. The
condensing unit will continue to run until the air
temperature in the cabinet reaches -12°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 voltage drops. As a
result, the power to the freezer may be interrupted
and freezing performance can be adversely affected
which may cause equipment damage and /or
product loss. Voltage supply to the merchandiser
must not vary more than ±10% of the normal 115V.
