INSTALLATION
NOTE: UNIT REPAIRS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO STANDARD UNIT
WARRANTIES IF DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.
DANGER: THE UNIT MUST BE TURNED OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM
THE POWER SOURCE WHENEVER PERFORMING SERVICE, MAINTENANCE
FUNCTIONS OR CLEANING THE REFRIGERATED AREA.
SELECTING A LOCATION FOR YOUR NEW UNIT
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 unit 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 the units 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 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.
Air is brought into the evaporator coil with fans mounted to the front of the coil.
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.
LEVELING
A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the doors will line
up with the frames properly. 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.
STABILIZING
All models are supplied with casters for your convenience. 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 to allow compressor oil
to flow back into place. Failure to meet this requirement can cause compressor
failure and unit damage.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Refer to the amperage data on page 1, the serial tag, your local code or the
National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is connected to the proper power
source.
