PREPARING THE CABINET
-
FLAT TOP BOTTLE COOLERS
Uncrating and Inspection
Remove all crating material. Carefully inspect
cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is
discovered, le your claim immediately with the
transport company. Perlick is not responsible for
damage in transit.
Plumbing
No plumbing connections are required.
Condensate from the cooling coil automatically
evaporated through a condensate pan located in
the condensing unit section.
Electrical
The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see Electrical Specication
Plate axed to unit) in accordance with National
and Local electrical codes.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate
the equipment on any
other power source than that listed on the
Electrical Specication Plate.
Adjustable Partitions & Shelving
Perlick Bottle Coolers may be provided with
adjustable partitions and shelving which will
accommodate various bottle sizes.
■ Remove bottles and cans from their cases
before placing in cooler to ensure proper
air ow.
■ On 2’ and 3’ models keep air intake open for
proper circulation.
Installing Casters or Legs (optional)
Attach casters or legs to the cabinet bottom in
holes provided. Use the supplied 1/4” - 20 hex
head self-tapping machine screws. If unit is tipped
on its back for an extended period of time, wait
24 hours after unit is uprighted to plug the unit in.
Placing the Cabinet
To assure maximum performance, fresh air must
be allowed to circulate through the machinery
compartment. It is important to allow at least
two inched of clearance at the back or left end
of the cabinet. Do not place anything in front of
the cabinet that would obstruct air ow at these
grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated
small room.
CAUTION
Removing the factory
installed back clearance
spacers without providing proper left side grill
clearance for compressor air ow will void the
warranty.
Cabinet should be leveled.
For sanitation purposed, it may be necessary to
seal the base of the cabinet to the oor. This can
be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone
sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown
by the gure below (gure 1).

HOW TO OPERATE
-
FLAT TOP BOTTLE COOLERS
Temperature Control
An adjustable temperature control is located inside
the Bottle Cooler on the evaporator fan panel
assembly. It is factory set at approximately 38˚F
for standard refrigeration and approximately 30˚F
for low temperature models. Make adjustments as
detailed below to attain the desired temperature.
NOTE: A temperature setting that is too low will
not allow enough condensing unit “o” time to
maintain a frost-free coil.
■ Colder Temperatures: Turn the adjusting
screw clockwise (to the right)
■ Warmer Temperatures: Turn the adjusting
screw counterclockwise (to the left).
■ Temperature Control “OFF”: Turn the
adjusting screw completely counterclockwise
to the “O” position until a “click” is noted.
The condenser fan motor turns o and on with
compressor. The evaporator fan motor runs
continuously.
Cleaning the Condenser
■ The condenser (located behind the from
grille) should be inspected every 30 days,
and cleaned, if necessary. Failure to
keep the condenser clean will cause a loss
in condensing unit eciency, or compressor
failure.
Cleaning the Doors
■ Doors should be periodically removed from
the cabinet and inspected for a buildup of
foreign materials, such as syrups, beer, etc.
Buildups on the underside of the doors,
along with the cabinet breaker strips on
which they ride, will cause them to bind,
and therefore, not function as designed. If
dirty, these surfaces should be cleaned with
a mild detergent and water and then coated
with a silicone lubricating material. Aerosol
silicone sprays can be obtained locally at
most hardware or automotive stores.
To remove doors:
■ With door closed, lift it upward by its handle
and slide forward until doors clears the
cabinet top. Use the reverse procedure to
reinstall the doors.
Cleaning the Cabinets
■ Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and
water to clean the inside and outside of the
cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Do not allow cleaning
agents or large amounts of water to go down
the drain. Use an acceptable stainless steel
polish to clean all stainless steel surfaces.
Never use steel wool or scouring pads to clean
stainless steel.
Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion
Corrosion can be prevented by following product
cautions, cleaning instructions and avoiding use
of certain chemicals or objects which will cause
stainless steel corrosion.
STAINLESS STEEL ENEMY
■ Steel wool or steel scouring pads
■ Cherry/Orange/Olive juice
■ Chlorine Bleach
■ Sharp Objects
