2. Operation
a. Electrical Supply and Connections:
Plug all standard models into 115 volts A.C. 60 cycle outlet. Low line voltage is often the cause
of service complaints. Check to see that the line voltage is 110 volts or more with the unit
running. Other motors or heavy appliances should not be used on the same circuit with the
cooler. When working on the inside of the cooler disconnect from electrical circuit for safety
reasons. CAUTION: If an extension cord is necessary, use only a three wire grounding type of
wire size 16 AWG or larger; do not exceed 20 ft. in length. The use of ungrounded cords or
overloaded circuits voids compressor warranty.
b. Initial Start-Up:
Turn Power on and check to verify that the condenser fan is running. On all Models, except
RI18, the defog fan and light switches are located on the blower housing front inside the
cabinet, the Defog Switch in “ON” position permits the Condenser Fan to run continuously for
maximum Door Defoging in high humidity locations.
c. Temperature Control:
Factory setting of temperature control is at No. 5 position (normal) which will maintain the
product at about 36°F.* For colder temperatures, turn knob clockwise one number at a time.
Excessive tampering with temperature control could lead to service difficulties. For operation
about 3000 ft. altitude, have thermostat adjusted by a qualified serviceman.
d. Condensate Disposal:
The evaporator blower housing serves as a pan to collect and direct the condensate to the
evaporator pan located behind the front grille. Air flow over the pan hastens condensate
evaporation so that external drain plumbing is not required.
3. Maintenance
a. Cleaning Cabinet Exterior:
Cabinets should be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. Do not use caustic soap or
abrasive cleaners, since these might damage the cabinet finish. If stainless steel surface becomes
discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finish grain. Do not use steel wool.
b. Cleaning Interior Surfaces:
The inside of the cabinet is coated with baked-on vinyl (except stainless steel cooler). To clean,
use mild soapy water and cloth or sponge.
c. Condenser:
For efficient operation, it is recommended that the condenser coil and fans be cleaned every
3 to 6 months. Remove front grille for access. Vacuum clean front surface of coil thoroughly or
direct forced air through condenser fins. Failure to clean condenser can cause compressor
malfunction and will void warranty.
d. Evaporator Fan:
Evaporator pan should be cleaned periodically to prevent odors and maintain evaporating
efficiency. The pan contains wicks to assist evaporation and should be replaced periodically.
e. Evaporator Housing:
If internal parts (e.g. fans, control) are to be serviced, lower housing as shown in (Fig 5). Make
certain to remove drain tube before lowering housing.
