INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to installation, the customer must check for damages with the freight company
before the unit is accepted.
1. If the crate is damaged, make sure to note the damage on the Bill of Lading
prior to signing the delivery off.
2. Concealed damage must be reported within 5 days of receiving the unit. Bill
of Lading must be faxed to the Claims department. Pictures of both unit
and crating may be requested.
Open Display Merchandisers are designed to be in an area that is ambient 75 degrees
Fahrenheit (dry bulb) or colder with 55 percent relative humidity. If the installed unit is
in a warm ambient area, it may not be as effective. Position the Merchandiser at its final
location before removing the shipping skid. There are four bolts at the bottom of the
merchandiser that secure the shipping skid. Remove all four bolts to remove the skid.
Allow three inches of space from the wall to the back of the merchandiser. Condenser is
located to the front. Do NOT block inlet.
LOCATION OF OPEN DISPLAY MERCHANDISER
Four leveling legs are provided to level your Merchandiser. Use a leveler to ensure the
unit is evenly leveled on all four corners. If the unit is not leveled correctly, excess water
buildup will not drain properly. If you do not wish to use the levelers, they can be turned
inwards.
