Hydrocarbon Guidelines1
1. Hydrocarbon Guidelines
This section applies to R290 Hydrocarbon units only. To identify the refrigerant type, see the
data plate in the cabinet interior.
DANGER - Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Do not use mechanical devices or other
means to accelerate the defrosting process. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
DANGER - Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. To be repaired only by trained service
personnel. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
CAUTION - Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Consult Service Manual or Owner’s
Manual before attempting to install or service this product. All safety precautions must be followed.
DANGER - Risk of fire or explosion. Dispose of properly in accordance with federal or local regulations.
Flammable refrigerant used.
DANGER - Risk of fire or explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing; follow handling instructions
carefully. Flammable refrigerant used.
WARNING - THIS UNIT USES R290, A HYDROCARBON, PROPANE REFRIGERANT THAT IS ENVI-
RONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUT IS ALSO HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. PLEASE READ THIS
MANUAL CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTAINED HEREIN TO AVOID
THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MAY RE-
SULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Hydrocarbon Guidelines 2
Propane (R290) is highly approved for use as a refrigerant in commercial, self-contained units in the US under limited
use conditions. It can only be used in new equipment. Backfitting or modifications of old equipment are not allowed. It
must be charged in a strictly limited volume of up to 150 grams (5.3 oz) per refrigeration circuit. Even though this is a
small amount, it still presents a fire or explosion hazard if it leaks out of parts that hold refrigerant. When it comes in
contact with air, a flammable propane-air mixture can be created and easily ignited by electrical sparks, open flames
or hot surfaces. The risk is higher in small, confined, poorly ventilated spaces. Propane will settle at lower zones
because it is heavier than air. To reduce these risks, observe the following precautions
• Avoid installation of unit in areas with open flames or in general vicinity of open flames or high surface
temperatures.
• Avoid unit installation in small, confined spaces. Ensure ample ventilation at all times. Keep all exhaust vents
free of any blockage or obstruction.
• Do not rely on smell to detect potential leaks of propane refrigerant. Propane refrigerant is a high purity
propane gas and does not contain odourants or stenching agents. These additives are typically used in fuel-
grade propane and natural gas in order to give them a distinctive smell which makes it easier to detect leaks.
• General service and repairs must be performed in well-ventilated areas. General service and repairs must be
performed only by professionals authorized by Everest Refrigeration.
• Component shall be replaced with Everest-issued, like components to minimize the risk of possible ignition
resulting from incompatible parts or improper repairs.
• Do not modify, re-appropriate or remove any functional part(s) from the unit.
• Handle the unit with care to avoid any damage.
• Practice safety guidelines when transporting the unit. Consult with your local Department of Transportation for
requirements in moving flammable gasses.

2. Installation Instructions
This section applies to all Everest products. Correct installation ensures proper performance and
longevity of your appliance. Professional installation by a trained refrigeration technician and
electrician is recommended. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.
1. Inspect for any freight damage upon
delivery of the unit. If damage is detected,
immediately report it to an Everest
representative. Everest is not responsible for
damage that occurs during shipment.
2. Keep the unit upright at all times. The
compressor contains oil, refrigerant,
lubricants and various chemicals. When tilted,
these fluids may shift and travel to sections
where they don’t naturally occur. This will
lead to system contamination and compressor
failure.
3. Some units require caster installation
for proper performance. Visit our website at
www.everestref.com and enter your product’s
model number in the search field to determine
its caster requirements.
4. Do not place your hands under the unit
when moving it to avoid injury from sharp
edges, protruding parts or weight impact.
5. Select a location with good air ventilation.
Poor ventilation rapidly increases ambient
temperature. High ambient temperatures
exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive
compressor activity in order to maintain
the desired cabinet temperature. This will
result in decreased performance, advanced
component failure and the risk of fire.
6. Select a location away from heat-generating
equipment such as stoves, ovens, etc. Heat
sources rapidly increase the temperature
of theimmediate vicinity. High temperatures
exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote excessive
compressor activity in order to maintain the
desired cabinet temperature. This will result in
decreased performance, advanced component
failure and the risk of fire.
7. Backside clearance of 6” and topside clearance
of 12” are required. This allows proper ventilation
and prevents overheating which can lead to
advanced component failure and the risk of fire.
8. Select a location with a hard, leveled surface.
Use a leveling tool on the unit to ensure a proper
alignment. Proper door function and condensate
removal is dependent on accurate balance.
9. Select a location close to an electrical wall
outlet to ensure direct connection without the use
of extension cords.
10. Select a location away from severe moisture
conditions. This may compromise the unit’s
electrical components and lead to electrical
shocks or the risk of fire.
11. Select a location that will not expose the
unit to extremely dusty conditions. Environments
with high dust and debris content will significantly
hasten condenser coil blockage and will result in
decreased performance, advanced component
failure and the risk of fire.
12. Do not build an enclosure or cabinet around
the unit. This will restrict air ventilation resulting
in elevated compressor activity, decreased
performance, advanced component failure and the
risk of fire.
13. The unit is not intended for use in food trucks.
Limited space, lack of ventilation and ambient
temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) typical to this
setting will result in elevated compressor activity,
decreased performance, advanced component failure
and the risk of fire.
14. The unit is intended for indoor use only.
Outdoor use will cause a decrease in performance,
advanced component failure and the risk of fire.
Installation Instructions 4
Some units come standard with shelves, shelf clips and notched pilasters. Each shelf requires
four clips.
Shelf Installation
Attach the shelf clips onto the pilasters by inserting its top
hook into a pilaster notch followed by the bottom hook. Do
not use pliers or other crimping tools to modify the shape of
the shelf clips. This will result in shelf mounting instability.
Installation Instructions
5
Place shelves on the shelf clips making sure all corners
are mounted securely and evenly with identical dis-
tance from the unit’s floor and up. Always lay the back
of each shelf down on the rear clips before the front.
When removing a shelf, unmount the shelf from the
shelf clips. To detach the shelf clip from the pilaster, tilt
up the shelf clip until the bottom hook clears followed
by the top hook.

3. General Safety
This section applies to all Everest products. Use your appliance according to its designed function as
specified in this Owner’s Manual. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.
Electrical Safety9
Everest units come as 115 volts, 60 hertz, single
phase.
Everest units in this family are equipped with a
NEMA5-15P plug except for models ESF2, ESWF2
and ESF3 which are equipped with a NEMA 5-20P. A
15 amp breaker must be used for units that come
with a NEMA 5-15P plug. A 20 amp breaker must be
used for units that come with a NEMA 5-20P plug.
The ground prong must not be removed to reduce
the risk of electric shock and related hazards. If the
grounding pin is missing, the cord must be removed
from use. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it
must be replaced with the properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet. Only a qualified electrician may install the
correct power source.
To guarantee electrical safety, the wall outlet and
circuit must be checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure it is properly grounded.
Remove debris from the power plug prongs with a
soft cloth or brush before connecting it to an outlet.
Assign the unit to a dedicated, undamaged electrical
circuit with a voltage rating that matches the data
plate. Check the incoming voltage with a multi-meter.
This avoids the overloading and overheating of circuit
wires which may lead to a fire.
Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or
other third party electrical connections. Everest is
not responsible for issues resulting from improper
electrical connections, electrical power failures and
voltage fluctuations.
Everest does not recommend the use of generators in
conjunction with the unit due to voltage fluctuations
that may compromise electrical components.
Turn off the unit using the power button before
unplugging. Wait at least 5 minutes before re-
plugging to prevent damage to the compressor.
Do not unplug the unit by tugging on the power cord.
Grip the plug and pull it securely out of the outlet.
Prevent damage to the power cord by providing
sufficient clearance around and under the unit.
Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or
exposed wires. Power cords that have been severely
worn or damaged must be replaced with original
manufacturer parts and only by an authorized
technician.

Operation
10
Starting your Everest Product
After plugging in the unit, the current temperature
and compressor symbol
will appear on the
digital temperature control’s LED display.
will flash at short intervals for 1 minute after
which the compressor(s) and condenser fan
motor(s) will initiate. At the beginning of every
compressor cycle, the condenser fan motor is
automated to rotate in reverse for 30 seconds in
order to blow dust off the condenser coil.
The evaporator fan motor(s) will initiate once the
evaporator coil reaches a specific temperature
relative to the digital temperature control setting
and for as long as the door is closed. A fan symbol
will appear on the LED display to indicate that
the evaporator fan is running.
Allow the unit to operate for 24 to 72 hours before
storing contents in the cabinet. This lets the cabinet
temperature fully stabilize. Use this time to verify
proper installation and operation.
The interior light and evaporator fan motor is
controlled by a door switch for solid door models
and a rocker switch for glass door models.
The default temperature setting is 35.0°F (2.0°C) for
refrigerators and -4.0°F (-20.0°C) for freezers. The
factory recommended temperature range is between
33.0°F (1.0°C) to 40.0°F (4.0°C) for refrigerators and
-5.0°F (-21.0°C) to 0°F (-18.0°C) for freezers. Setting
the temperature outside of the recommended range
will cause performance issues and in some cases may
result in component failure that is outside of warranty
coverage.
The compressor, condenser and evaporator fan
motors run while the unit is on refrigeration cycle.
The compressor, condenser and evaporator fan
motors stop running while the unit is on defrost cycle.
The unit is preset to defrost every 5-6 hours with
a duration of 45 minutes or less depending on the
evaporator coil temperature. Changing the preset
outside of the default range will result in cooling issues
and advanced component failure.
The digital temperature control is intended to read and
display the cabinet’s air temperature, not actual food
product temperature. The displayed temperature may
fluctuate due to frequent or prolonged door operation.
The most conclusive method to determine a unit’s
cooling performance is to measure the food product’s
temperature using a digital food thermometer.
5. Operation

The placement of food items in the cabinet may be
obstructing circulation of refrigerated air. This creates
uneven temperature in the cabinet with pockets of
very cold air that may cause items to frost or freeze
over.
Condensation in the interior cabinet.
The door or door gasket may not be sealing properly.
Check product placement in the cabinet as it may
prevent the door from fully closing. If the gasket is
loose, reattach.
Hot food items may have been stored in the cabinet.
The interaction between hot and cold temperatures
will promote condensation.
Unsealed or open food items with high moisture
content may have been stored in the cabinet. Keep
these items in air tight containers.
Mild condensation in warmer ambient temperature
conditions may occur due to frequent or prolonged
door operation.
Condensation on the unit’s exterior
surfaces.
Highly humid environments will contribute to the
condensation build up on exterior panels. Providing
ample ventilation and air movement to a space will
reduce the humidity level.
The door or door gasket may not be sealing properly.
Check product placement in the cabinet as it may
prevent the door from fully closing. If the gasket is
loose, reattach.
Noise level during unit operation.
It is normal for commercial grade compressors and
components to have a higher decibel output compared
to residential counterparts.
The unit may not be balanced evenly. Poorly leveled
units may cause components or fittings to misalign or
disengage during operation. This may produce noise
as a direct result of repeated surface friction or impact.
The unit may not be securely mounted to the floor.
This may produce noise as a direct result of repeated
surface friction or impact.
Some sounds are normal for the refrigeration
process. A dripping sound, for example, is the result
of refrigerant circulation during the compressor rest
period.
