6.2 Ambient Temperatures
• High ambient temperatures and high humidity
conditions may result in performance issues
and/or refrigeration system failure.
• These products are indoor rated products and
should never be exposed to direct weather.
• Do not subject the product to direct solar load.
• This equipment is not intended to be installed
directly adjacent to a heat source.
• Under extreme temperature and/or relative
humidity conditions, the front face, gasket and
glass door may show signs of condensation.
When the temperature and/or relative humidity
conditions return to normal, condensation will
disappear.
6.2.1 Freezer Ambient Conditions
For units installed in areas with changing ambient
conditions, please take note of the table below. In
extreme conditions that exceed those listed below,
condensation may start to form on the front face of
the cabinet.
Condensation will subside as conditions return to
levels below those shown in the table.
6.3 Air Flow Obstructions
• Theunitmusthavefreeairowtothe
