Refrigeration System
General Operation
The RAM Space Saver employs a cold wall
system. Through the refrigeration process,
heat is transferred to the condensing unit at the
bottom of the cabinet, where it is expelled to the
surrounding outside air. It is extremely
important to allow unrestricted airflow for the
refrigeration process to function properly.
A minimum of 1.0” (26 mm) clearance on both
sides, 2.0” (50 mm) behind the dispenser and
24” (61 cm) to the ceiling is recommended.
The temperature control for the RAM Space
Saver is capable of detecting conditions that fall
outside of normal operation. In such cases, the
controller will generate and display an error to
warn the operator that an abnormal condition
exists and corrective action may need to be
taken. Some error conditions are easily fixed,
while others may require the attention of a
qualified service technician.
See pages 10-12 for a list of error codes and a
troubleshooting guide.
CAUTION: Only trained and/or qualified
personnel, licensed in refrigeration, should
perform service to the refrigeration systems
of this equipment.
The set point or turn off temperature is the
temperature the refrigeration system will
attempt to maintain inside the cabinet. The
default set point temperature is 0°F (-18°C),
and has a range of -10°F to 20° F(-23°C to -
7°C). The set point can be changed using the
Set Button on the Temperature Controller.
Cabinet temperature is displayed on the
Temperature Controller during normal
operation.
Defrost
Because the dispenser employs a cold wall
design, it will be necessary to manually defrost
the cabinet daily. First, remove the product.
Turn the On/Off Switch. Remove Baskets,
Hopper, Outlet Door, Drip Tray and Drip Tray
Divider. Open the Cabinet Door and allow 1
hour to defrost.
Caution: Never use a sharp object to remove
frost build-up. Never drill or otherwise
puncture cabinet walls or top.
Wipe the cabinet dry and sanitize when defrost
is complete.
Required Maintenance
Daily:
Shut off, clean, defrost and inspect cabinet.
(see page 8)
Monthly:
Clean and inspect the condenser filter.
Replace as necessary.
Every 3 months
, or as needed as determined
by environmental conditions:
Inspect the door gasket for proper sealing.
Adjust door hinges and/or replace gasket if
needed.
Clean the condenser coils, located behind
the condenser filter. (See below.)
Cleaning the Condenser Filter and Coil
Monthly cleaning of the condensing unit filter will
aid the heat transfer characteristics of the
refrigeration system, increase its efficiency, and
extend the life of the compressor.
Remove the front louvered panel by removing the
retaining screw. Lift and remove the louvered
panel. Slide the condenser filter to the left and
remove.
The filter can be cleaned in warm soapy water
(
HCS
). Rinse and shake off the excess water.
Replace the filter and access panel.
Every 3 months clean the condenser coils. The
coils are located behind the condenser filter. The
condenser coils should be cleaned with a vacuum
or a soft brush.
Failure to keep the condenser filter and coil
clean and clear of obstructions could result in
temperature loss and damage to the
compressor and may void the warranty.
Warning: Keep ventilation openings in the
appliance enclosure, particularly in the
back-bottom panel, clear of obstruction.
