Installation and Operation
Chest and Upright Freezers

5 Installation
Do not exceed the electrical and temperature ratings printed on
the dataplate located on the lower left side of the unit.
CAUTION!
Improper operation of the equipment
could result in dangerous conditions. To preclude
hazard and minimize risk, follow all instructions and
operate within the design limits noted on the
dataplate.
5.1 Location
Install the unit in a level area free from vibration with a minimum
of six inches of space on the sides, rear, and top. Refer to
Section 5.3 for further instructions on leveling cabinets. Allow
enough clearance so that door or lid can swing open at least
90 degrees.
Do not position the equipment in direct sunlight or near heating
diffusers, radiators, or other sources of heat. The ambient
temperature range at the location must be 59 to 90
°
F
(15 to 32
°
C).
CAUTION!
To allow for proper air flow, a minimum
of six inches of clearance space is required behind the
freezer.
5.2 Wiring
CAUTION!
Connect the equipment to the correct
power source. Incorrect voltage can result in severe
damage to the equipment.
CAUTION!
For personal safety and trouble-free
operation, this unit must be properly grounded before
it is used. Failure to ground the equipment may cause
personal injury or damage to the equipment. Always
conform to the National Electrical Code and local
codes. Do not connect the unit to overloaded power
lines.
Your freezer is equipped with one of five NEMA style plugs
(refer to Figure 1). These plugs meet UL requirements.
Figure 1. NEMA Style Plugs
Always connect the freezer to a dedicated (separate) circuit. Each
freezer is equipped with a service cord and plug designed to
connect it to a power outlet which delivers the correct voltage.
Supply voltage must be 10%, -5% of the freezer rated
voltage.
If you have known voltage stability problems which are outside
the limits of the freezer rated voltage, we recommended that the
freezer be equipped with a Voltage Safeguard. Order the Voltage
Safeguard from Revco (refer to Section 10.1.3 on page 12 for
ordering information).
Note:
Revco 900 Series freezers are equipped with a standard
built-in Voltage Safeguard circuit to detect and adjust
low line voltage.
CAUTION!
Never cut the grounding prong from the
service cord plug. If the prong is removed, the
warranty is invalidated.
5.3 Leveling
The unit must be level both front to back and side to side.
To level chest models, leave the casters in place and shim the low
wheel(s) with strips of sheet metal cut at least 1/2 in. wider than
the caster.
Upright models have adjustable leveling feet which are located
adjacent to the front casters.
