Leveling
Cabinets must be leveled when installed. Failure to level your cabinet may result in doors not sealing, closing correctly,
or condensate water not draining properly.
Legs
- Rotate the foot of the leg with an adjustable wrench to achieve desired height for leveling.
Casters
- Cabinets with casters can be leveled by placing large flat washers in between the 1/2” stud and the
holes located on the case bottom.
Cabinet Cleaning
Prior to use, the interior and exterior surfaces of the cabinet should be cleaned thoroughly with warm water, mild
detergent and a soft cloth. Apply with a dampened cloth and wipe in the direction of the metal grain and allow to air dry
with the door(s) open.
DO NOT
use chlorinated or abrasive cleansers, and only use a soft clean cloth.
Installing Shelves
All cabinets with shelves are supplied with pilasters and shelf clip supports. Shelves are easily installed by inserting the
shelf support clips into the pilasters so they fit tightly. Align the shelf so the smaller fill wires run from front to rear and
rest the shelf on the clips.
Electric Supply
115 Volt self-contained units are provided with a 15 or 20 Amp power cord with plug that is shipped coiled on top of the
cabinet. The power cord is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug that is to be used in an appropriately rated and
dedicated 3-prong (grounding) receptacle.
*
NOTE: Have a wall outlet checked by a qualified electrician for polarity and proper grounding prior to plugging in the power cord.
For units not provided with a power cord, the electrical connection should be made by a qualified electrician in
accordance with local electrical codes. The electrical supply requirements are on the rating (or data) plate located on
the left hand interior wall of the cabinet. Use of a dedicated circuit with separate grounding wire is required.
Controller
When first supplying power to the cabinet there will be approximately a one minute delay before the compressor and
fan motors start to operate. Also, if power has been out for over 48 hours, a visible
"rtc"
(or Real Time Clock) error
code will show in the display window. This indicates that the real time clock must be set. Please refer to page 4
"SETTING DATE AND TIME" section.
The controller can be set to maintain temperature between 32°F (0.0°C) to 44°F (6.6°C) for refrigerators, and -6°F
(-21.1°C) to 15°F (-9.4°C) for freezers. Prior to shipping, refrigerators are factory preset at 35°F and freezers are factory
preset at -2°F.
*NOTE: Once the desired temperature "setpoint" has been chosen, there can be a +4 degree temperature difference shown within
the controller display when the refrigerator cabinet is in operation, and +5 temperature difference for freezers. For example, a
refrigerator controller "set point" is 32°F, but the refrigerator cabinet can operate between 32°F to 36°F.
Installation Checklist
After the cabinet has been installed, leveled and cleaned as described, refer to the following checklist prior to start-up.
Check for proper electrical hook-up. Cabinet
must not share receptacle
with another piece of equipment.
Check exposed refrigeration line connections for leaks. Make sure refrigeration lines are not dented, kinked
or
rubbing.
Check condenser & evaporator fan(s) for freedom to rotate without striking any stationary members.
Check that cabinet is level.
Product Load
After the refrigerator or freezer has been started and reaches the proper storage temperatures, food may be loaded.
For optimum energy efficiency and air flow we recommend minimum 1” clearance between the storage compartment
cabinet walls and product load, 4" clearance between the storage compartment ceiling and product load, and a 1"
clearance between the bottom of the storage compartment and product load.
