INSTALLING THE ANALOG (KNOB TYPE) THERMOSTAT
Mount the thermostatic control unit high in the icebox, away from
moisture and spillage. It should also be visible and accessible. It
is acceptable to mount the thermostatic control unit outside of
the icebox space if you prefer. At least 12” of capillary sensing
tube must be inside the box.
The capillary sensing tube is 36” long and must reach from the
thermostatic control unit to the clamping plate on the side of the
freezer unit. It must be routed along the icebox wall—clear of
food, shelving, etc.
The thermostat can be mounted by using either the adhesive
backing on the thermostat mounting flanges or the stainless steel
mounting screws (supplied).
If using the adhesive backing, the mounting area must be clean
and dry. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive foam
on both mounting flanges of the thermostatic control unit,
position carefully and press firmly to adhere.
We recommend that you also use the mounting screws by drilling
two 9/64” holes through the thermostat flange holes.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
(see drawing below).
1. Carefully unroll just enough capillary tubing to reach the
metal and plastic clamp plates on the side of the freezer unit.
Via this tube, the thermostatic control unit “senses” the
temperature of the freezer unit. Bend the last 2 inches back
into a “J” shape. Slide the “J” shaped end between the metal
and plastic plates and fasten the screws firmly.
Be sure that
four inches of tubing are clamped under the metal plate or
the thermostatic control unit will not function properly.
2. Secure the coil and tube against chafing. (Leave the excess
capillary tubing coiled).
The tube must not touch the freezer
unit at any point except the clamp plates or an erratic control
cycle will result.
3. Uncoil the 21 foot electrical harness from the thermostat and
run it alongside the refrigerant tube set to the condensing
unit phone jack. Plug this harness into its mating receptacle
on the face of the junction box.
