ADJUSTING SPRING TENSION
1. Adjust the spring tension if the door(s) do not fully close.
2. First, remove the door that does not fully close.
3. After removal of the door, remove the spring installation
screw (figure 4a), and slide the nylon spring pillar over
one notch toward the handle side of the door (figure 4b
& 4c), so that it increases the tension in the spring.
4. Reinstall the nylon spring screw in the new location.
5. Replace the door and check for proper alignment and
operation with the new tension setting.
6. Repeat this for each door that requires adjustment.
CLEANING
Door frames should be cleaned with a solution of mild soap
and water. Do not use caustic soap or abrasive cleaners,
since these might damage the finish.
If stainless steel roller track surfaces become discolored,
scrub by rubbing along the length of the track. Do not use
steel wool.
Clean glass surfaces with a standard glass cleaning solution.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If doors do NOT operate properly, check for the following:
1. Minimum of 1/32" of CLEARANCE between the vertical
gaskets on the COLD S IDE doors and the horizontal
frame gaskets located at the header and sill of the frame
in between the doors.
2. Self-closing device (a.k.a. "Torpedo· ) is properly located
on edge of door and is not "pinched" or "bound· between
the top of the door and the frame, and that torpedo
operates smoothly.
3. Sash covers on doors are properly snapped into place
and have NOT slipped down, and are NOT dragging on
the sill track of the frame or rubbing the frame header.
4. Self-closing spring is properly attached to its nylon
retaining pillar in the frame header C-channel and is not
kinked in any way.
5. Door is sitting on its wheels, the wheels are properly
aligned on the stainless steel roller track, and the door
moves freely back and forth.
6. Door is not bowed in or out from top to bottom causing
doors to rub on frame or frame gaskets.
7. Cabinet is relatively level (within approximately 3/16" of
level across the full width of the frame).
8. Sill tracks with stainless steel roller track covers are
properly snapped into p lace and are not bowed up or
down across the width of the frame.
If installed doors do NOT close fully after above checks are
complete, then consider increasing the tension on the self-
closing spring(s) by:
1. Removing door(s) that are not closing properly.
2. Removing spring installation screw and sliding nylon
spring pillar over one notch so that it increases the
tension in the spring when it is at rest. Reinstall the
nylon spring screw in this new location.
3. Reinstall the door(s).
4. Check for proper operation of doors with increased
spring tension.
If installed doors still do NOT close fully after above checks
and adjustments, then install stronger spring(s):
1. Verify that the sill track is fully engaged (snapped) into
the channel over the sill track"s entire length.
2. Verify that the frame seals are fully seated in the frame.
If the seals are not fu lly seated, they could interfere
with the movement of the door.
3. Verify that the frame was not bowed during installation.
If the frame is bowed, contact Beverage-Air Technical
Service.
If installed doors still do NOT close fully after all of the
above checks, contact Beverage-Air Technical Service.
