This unit is intended for use in a temperature-controlled environment less than 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% relative humidity. IMPORTANT – Please read before installation:

• If the shelf has a raised lip, the lip needs to be installed facing up towards the rear of the cabinet to
  Promote proper air flow. Failure to install the shelves properly is considered user error and is not covered by warranty.
• If the unit has recently been transported on its side, please let the unit stand upright for a minimum of 24 hours before plugging it in.
• Make sure that the unit has reached the desired temperature before loading the unit with products.
  This unit is meant for keeping cold products cold, not chilling warm products.
• Make sure that there is proper ventilation around the unit in the area where it will operate.
• Make sure all accessories are installed (i.e., shelves, shelf clips, casters) before plugging the unit in.
• Do not attempt to remove or repair any component of the unit. Consult an authorized service technician for servicing/repair.
• Do not hang on doors or stand inside the unit.
• Do not store flammable, explosive, or corrosive liquids or gases in or near the cooler.

Cabinet Location Guidelines

1. Install the unit on strong and level surfaces.
   • If the surface is uneven, the unit may be noisy.
   • The unit may malfunction if the surface is uneven.
   • Keep the cooler stable to avoid vibration and noise.
2. Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area.
   • For best performance, please maintain clearance of 3” on the back of the unit.
   • Do not use outdoors. For indoor use only.
   • Avoid direct sunlight.
   • The unit should be placed far from any heating source to avoid a decrease in refrigeration efficiency.
3. Avoid installation in a high-humidity and/or dusty area.
   • Humidity above 60% can cause the unit to rust, to collect condensation, and may decrease efficiency.
   • Dust collected on the condenser coil will cause the unit to malfunction.
4. For optimal performance, 3” of clearance is required around all louvered or vented panels to allow for proper air flow.
   • Component failure due to improper installation is not covered under the warranty.
5. Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment.
   • Ambient temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit may cause the compressor to malfunction.
   • For optimal performance, this unit should not be used in environments with ambient temperatures exceeding 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
   • The unit should not be placed in areas with an ambient temperature over 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
   • Equipment malfunctions due to ambient temperatures above 90 degrees could void the warranty.
   • Do not install this unit inside a closet or alcove.

Electrical

• Please ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
• The unit should be plugged into a grounded and properly sized electrical outlet with appropriate
  over-current protection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
• This unit should have its dedicated outlet.
• Do not use extension cords.
• Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
• If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
• To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
• After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage to the compressor.

Adjusting the Temperature

Your new refrigerator is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and should require no adjustments. Refrigerators are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not run constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:

Digital Control Units

• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press “SET” again to save your settings.

Always remember to calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum temperatures and possible health code violations.

Defrost System

Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor downtime,
the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil
temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated. Automatic defrost timers automatically initiate at pre-set intervals and for a pre-determined duration.

Running a Manual Defrost Cycle

This unit is pre-programmed to run automatic defrost cycles at preset intervals. However, if you would like to
run a manual defrost cycle at any time. Please follow the steps below.

Refrigerators:

1. Press the defrost button (snowflake symbol and down arrow) for approximately 3 seconds.
2. Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.

Loading Food Pans

Pizza prep units and sandwich prep units are designed to function with all pans in place, even if some pans are to be left empty. For maximum food freshness, fill the pans only with an amount that can be used in a specific usage period. During non-use, please close the insulated lid cover.
