Hydrocarbon Guidelines
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.
CAUTION - Risk of fire or explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Dispose of properly in accordance
with federal or local regulations.
CAUTION - 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
ENVIRONMENTALLY 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 RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, OR DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
This section applies to R290 Hydrocarbon units only. To identify the refrigerant type,
see the data plate in the cabinet interior.
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 odorants 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.

Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
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 top surface
lip or on the unit chassis 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. Position the unit so it’s front and left vents
as well as top pan area are away from
heat-generating equipment such as stoves,
ovens, etc. Heat sources rapidly increase the
temperature of the immediate 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. A distance of 6” is required for back side
and left side clearance. This ensures 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
proper alignment. Proper door function and
condensate removal is dependent on accurate
balance. Install the front leg stabilizers for units
that come standard with it to ensure proper
door / drawer functions and unit stability.
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 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.
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.

Installation Instructions
Shelf Installation
Some models come standard with shelves, shelf clips and notched pilasters.
Each shelf requires four clips.
1. 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.
2. Place shelves on the shelf clips making sure all
corners are mounted securely and evenly with
identical distance from the unit’s floor and up.
Always lay the back of each shelf down on the rear
clips before the front.
3. 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.

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.
10
Electrical Safety
Everest units come as 115 volts, 60 hertz,
single phase.
Everest units in this family are equipped with a
NEMA 5-15P. A 15 amp breaker must be used
for units that come with a NEMA 5-15P 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.
Electrical Safety
115/60/1
NEMA 5-15R
This section applies to all Everest products. Basic safety precautions must be observed when
using electrical appliances in addition to the following. Warranty is void if these guidelines
are not met.
11
Operation Guidelines
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 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.
Operation
Use your Everest product according to its intended functions. Warranty is void if the following
guidelines are not met.
12
Operation Guidelines
Everest units are equipped with a Carel Digital Temperature Control. The type of controller is
dependent on the model and production date.

Condenser Coil Air Filter Cleaning Instructions
It is necessary to clean the condenser coil monthly to ensure that it is free of lint, dust and grease
build-up. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.
1. Ensure that the unit is disconnect from
the outlet before performing maintenance.
2. Use a long bristled brush in a vertical
sweeping motion to remove lint, dust and
debris from in between the metal fins of
the condenser coil. Do not apply heavy
pressure so as not to bend the fins.
3. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner
for metal fins that are coated in grease.
Allow the cleaner to saturate the area.
Follow the recommended wait time
printed on the product packaging.
4. The grease and cleaning solvent will
pool at the base of the metal fins. Brush
the fins and wipe off any accumulated
residue.
5. Repeat the above steps until the metal
fins are clean. You should be able to see
in through and in between the metal fins.
6. Reconnect the unit to the designated
outlet.

Do not attach an aftermarket filter or screen around the condenser coil.
This constricts ventilation which leads to overheating, component failure
or the risk of fire.

Troubleshooting Guide
‘Cht’ or ‘cHt’ appears on the LED alternating
with the current temperature and accompanied
by an audible alarm.
The condenser coil may be clogged with dust,
grime or debris. Clean them following the
instructions on page 17.
The door, drawer or gaskets may not be sealing
properly. If the gasket is loose, reattach. Check
product placement in the cabinet as it may
prevent the drawer from fully closing. Make sure
the front legs are installed and slighting tilting
up the front of the unit.
The room’s ambient temperature may be higher
than 86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or
additional cooling to the room or relocate the unit
to a larger space with lower ambient temperature.
The front and left side vents as well as the top
pan section may be installed in close proximity
to heat sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters
or direct sunlight. Relocate the unit away from
these sources.
The unit may be installed without clearance or
proper ventilation. Provide additional exhaust
vents and observe the clearance allowance
specified on page (3).
A top pan may not be installed. This creates
an open gap for warm air to enter and cold air
to escape. Keep all pans in their slots even
when empty.
The compressor, fan motors, or entire system
fails to start.
The ON/OFF switch may be set to OFF. Turn to
the ON position and wait for the LED and motors
to show signs of operation.
Troubleshooting Guide
The power cord may not be connected. Check
for proper connection. In cases of damage to the
power cord or plug, immediately mark the unit as
out of order until the damaged part is replaced.
The outlet may not be sending power or the
power supply breaker may be switched off.
Unplug the unit and contact a licensed electrician
for inspection and/or repairs.
The compressor operates continuously or for
prolonged periods.
The condenser coil may be clogged with dust,
grime or debris. Clean them following the
instructions on page (17).
The door, drawer or gaskets may not be sealing
properly. If the gasket is loose, reattach. Check
product placement in the cabinet as it may
prevent the drawer from fully closing. Make sure
the front legs are installed.
The evaporator coil may be blocked with ice.
Defrost it following the instructions on page (16).
Normally, evaporator coils will self-maintain with
automated defrost cycles. If the evaporator coil
ices up frequently, re-assess placement of food
items in the cabinet as it could obstruct cold
air circulation. Food items must not touch the
wall or floors of the cabinet and stay within the
boundaries of the drawer pan to prevent blockage
of air flow.
The room’s ambient temperature may be higher
than 86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or
additional cooling to the room or relocate the unit
to a larger space with lower ambient temperature.
The front and left side vents as well as the top
pan section may be installed in close proximity
to heat sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters
or direct sunlight. Relocate the unit away from
these sources.
In most cases, your Everest product may be exhibiting behavior that is typical
of standard operation. Observe the following when troubleshooting symptoms.

Troubleshooting Guide
The unit may be installed without clearance or
proper ventilation. This forces the compressor to
operate constantly in order to maintain cabinet
temperature. Provide additional exhaust vents and
observe the clearance allowance specified on
page (3).
A top pan may not be installed. This creates an
open gap for warm air to enter and cold air to
escape. Keep all pans in their slots even when
empty.
The cabinet temperature is too warm.
The condenser coil may be clogged with dust,
grime or debris. Clean it following the instructions
on page (17).
The door, drawer or gaskets may not be sealing
properly. If the gasket is loose, reattach. Check
product placement in the cabinet as it may
prevent the drawer from fully closing. Make sure
the front legs are installed.
The evaporator coil may be blocked with ice.
Defrost it following the instructions on page (16).
Normally, evaporator coils will self-maintain with
automated defrost cycles. If the evaporator coil
ices up frequently, re-assess placement of food
items in the cabinet as it could obstruct cold
air circulation. Food items must not touch the
wall or floors of the cabinet and stay within the
boundaries of the drawer pan to prevent blockage
of air flow.
The temperature may be set too high. Adjust the
setting to 35.0°F (2.0°C) for refrigerators or -4.0°F
(-20.0°C) for freezers.
Hot food items may have been placed in the
cabinet or top pan section. Store only room
temperature food items.
The room’s ambient temperature may be higher
than 86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or
additional cooling to the room. Relocate the unit
from extremely small spaces without ventilation.
The front and left side vents as well as the top
pan section may be installed in close proximity
to heat sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters
or direct sunlight. Relocate the unit away from
these sources.
The unit may be installed without clearance or
proper ventilation. Provide additional exhaust vents
and observe the allowance specified on page (3).
A top pan may not be installed. This creates an
open gap for warm air to enter and cold air to
escape. Keep all pans in their slots even when
empty.
Food items are frosting over.
The temperature may be set too low. Adjust the
setting to 35.0°F (2.0°C) for refrigerators or -4.0°F
(-20.0°C) for freezers.
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. Food items must not touch
the wall or floors of the cabinet and stay within the
boundaries of the food pan to prevent blockage of
air flow.
Condensation in the interior cabinet.
The drawer or gaskets may not be sealing properly.
If the gasket is loose, reattach. Check product
placement in the cabinet as it may prevent the
drawer from fully closing. Make sure the front legs
are installed.
Hot food items may have been stored in the
cabinet. The interaction between hot and cold
temperatures will promote condensation.
Mild condensation in warmer ambient temperature
conditions may occur due to frequent or prolonged
door operation.
Condensation inside the top pan section.
Unsealed or open food items may have been stored
in the food pans overnight. The top pan section
is not meant for overnight storage because of the
moisture generated by food items.
Condensation on the unit’s exterior surfaces.
20
Troubleshooting Guide
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, drawer or gaskets may not be sealing
properly. If the gasket is loose, reattach. Check
product placement in the cabinet as it may prevent
the drawer from fully closing. Make sure the front
legs are installed.
Unsealed or open food items may have been stored
in the food pans overnight causing condensation
to drip from the interior pan lid to the exterior
worktop surface. The top pan section is not meant
for overnight storage because of the moisture
generated by food items.
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.
