Location
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use
only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to
support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. Reinforce the
floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading.
For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air
circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot
circulate.
Outside LU cabinets: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air.
On all undercounter equipment, a minimum space of 3” (7.6cm)
at the back of the unit and 1” (2.5cm) at the top and sides is
required to conform to Underwriters Laboratories’ standards.
On undercounter units it is imperative that the proper air flow be
maintained. The refrigeration system is designed so air will flow
under the unit, over the compressor/condenser area, and out
at the top rear of the unit. Avoid hot corners and locations near
stoves and ovens.
Outside L cabinet: These cabinets have a front-breathing design.
They may be installed flush against a wall or built into a counter
as required.
The louver at the floor level must be kept completely clear of any
obstructions. Proper operation of these models is dependent on
air being able to flow freely through the front louver. The louver at
the back of the cabinet is not necessary for proper operation, but
any air flow through it is beneficial.
Any restriction of the proper air flow outlined
above, total or partial, will void the warranty on
the unit.
Leveling
A level cabinet will perform better because the drain pan will drain
properly, the drawers or doors will line up with the frames and the
cabinet will not be subject to undue strain. Ensure the floor where
the unit is to be located is level.
Stabilizing
Models are supplied on casters for your convenience, for ease of
cleaning underneath and mobility.
The unit must be installed in a stable condition with
the front wheels locked. Locking the front casters
after installation is the owner’s responsibility.
Plumbing
Self-contained models are standard with a condensate evaporator.
If, for some reason, a unit does not have a condensate evaporator,
or the evaporator fails, the unit’s drain must have an outlet to an
appropriate drainage area or container.
Moisture collecting from improper drainage can
create a slippery surface on the floor and a hazard to
employees. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide
a container or outlet for drainage.
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data in the specifications table, the serial
tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure the
unit is connected to the proper power source. A protected circuit
of the correct voltage and amperage must be run for connection
of the line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.
A 6’ (1.8 m) long grounded supply cord and three-pronged plug
are provided with standard units. Simply plug into a three-pronged
wall outlet to begin operation. Do not use an adapter to connect to
a two-pronged outlet. The three-pronged outlet provides a ground
connection which must be used to prevent a shock hazard.
The wall outlet must be checked by a qualified
electrician to be sure a proper ground is present
and that the outlet provides the correct voltage and
required amperage to match the rating plate.
Any power cord that is frayed or damaged should be
replaced. When disconnecting the cabinet from the
power source, do not pull on the cord. Firmly grip the
plug and remove from outlet.
The thermostat must be turned to OFF and the unit
disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or
cleaning the refrigerated area.
Shelf Installation Instructions
1. Notice the shelves have four alignment pins on the
underside and a backstop on the top back.
2. Insert the shelves into the cabinet.
• The backstop should be at the top back.
• The alignment pins should be in front and back of the
shelf supports.
