Installation
This unit is intended for use in a temperature-controlled environment less than 75 degrees
Fahrenheit and 60% relative humidity.
IMPORTANT – Please read before installation:
• If the shelf has a raised lip, the lip needs to be installed facing up towards the rear of the cabinet to
promote proper air flow. Failure to install the shelves properly is considered user error and is not
covered by warranty.
• If the unit has recently been transported on its side, please let the unit stand upright for a minimum of
24 hours before plugging it in.
• Make sure that the unit has reached the desired temperature before loading the unit with products.
This unit is meant for keeping cold products cold, not chilling warm products.
• Make sure that there is proper ventilation around the unit in the area where it will operate.
• Make sure all accessories are installed (i.e., shelves, shelf clips, casters) before plugging the unit in.
• Do not attempt to remove or repair any component of the unit. Consult an authorized service
technician for servicing/repair.
• Do not hang on doors or stand inside the unit.
• Do not store flammable, explosive, or corrosive liquids or gas in or near the cooler.
• Please read through the manual in its entirety.
• This unit is designed to perform in a temperature-controlled environment at 60% relative humidity.
The unit should be located away from doors, air ducts, and fans that could disrupt airflow and
negatively impact performance.
Cabinet Location Guidelines
• Install the unit on strong and leveled surfaces.
- If the surface is uneven, the unit may be noisy.
- The unit may malfunction if the surface is uneven.
- Keep the cooler stable to avoid vibration and noise.
• Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area.
- For best performance, please maintain clearance of 3” on the back of the unit.
- Do not use outdoors. For indoor use only.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Unit should be placed far from any heating source to avoid decrease of refrigeration eciency.
• Avoid installation in a high humidity and/or dusty area.
- Humidity above 60% can cause the unit to rust, to collect condensation, and may decrease eciency.
- Dust collected on condenser coil will cause unit to malfunction.
• For optimal performance, 3” of clearance is required around all louvered or vented panels, to allow for
proper air flow.
- Component failure due to improper installation is not covered under the warranty.

• Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment.
- Ambient temperatures above 75 degrees Fahrenheit may cause the compressor to malfunction.
- For optimal performance, this unit should not be used in environments with ambient temperatures
exceeding 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The unit should not be placed in areas with an ambient temperature over 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Equipment malfunctions due to ambient temperatures above 90 degrees could void the warranty.
- Do not install this unit inside a closet or alcove.
Electrical
• Please ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
• The unit should be plugged into a grounded and properly sized electrical outlet with appropriate
over-current projection. Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.
• This unit should have its own dedicated outlet.
• Do not use extension cords.
• Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
• If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
• To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
• After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the compressor.
Adjusting the Temperature
set
mute
Your new refrigerator is already factory-set to run at
optimum temperatures for food safety and should
require no adjustments.
Refrigerators are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum
temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not run
constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:
Digital Control Units
• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press “SET” again to save your settings.
Always remember to calculate the dierential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The cabinet
temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the compressor runs and
shuts o. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum temperatures and possible health
code violations.
Defrost System
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor downtime,
the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil

temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated frost. Run-o water is drained into the
evaporator pan and evaporated. Automatic defrost timers automatically initiate at pre-set intervals and for
a pre-determined duration.
Running a Manual Defrost Cycle
This unit is pre-programmed to run automatic defrost cycles at preset intervals. However, if you would like to
run a manual defrost cycle at any time, please follow the steps below:
Refrigerators:
1. Press the defrost button (snowflake symbol and down arrow) for approximately 3 seconds.
2. Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.
Loading Food Pans
Pizza prep units and sandwich prep units are designed to function with all pans in place, even if some pans
are to be left empty. For maximum food freshness, fill the pans only with an amount that can be used in a
specific usage period. During non-use, please close the insulated lid cover.
Safety / Warning
Please pay close attention to the safety notices in this section. Disregarding these notices may lead to
serious injury and/or damage to the unit.
ATTENTION
• To minimize shock and fire hazards, be sure not to overload outlet. Please designate one outlet for
your unit.
• Do not use extension cords.
• Do not put your hands under the unit while it is being moved.
• When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
• After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the compressor.
UNPLUG CORD
• To minimize shock and fire hazards, please do not plug or unplug the cord with wet hands.
• During maintenance and cleaning, please unplug the unit.
PROPER GROUNDING REQUIRED

Cleaning the Exterior of the Unit
• A soft cloth and clean warm water should always be the first choice for mild stains and loose dirt. A
final rinse with clean water and a dry wipe will complete the process and eliminate the possibility of
water stains.
• Only use soft cloths, microfiber sponges, or plastic scouring pads.
- Avoid anything that might scratch the surface.
• Clean with the polish lines by wiping parallel to the grain lines.
• Use cleaning chemicals such as alkaline, alkaline chlorinated, and non-chloride chemicals.
Chlorine-free cleaning options include acetone, methyl alcohol, and mineral spirits.
- Noble Chemical oers Excel, a water-based aerosol cleaner and polish.
• If you are looking to sanitize your stainless steel, Noble’s QuikSan is a ready-to-use sanitizer that won’t
damage stainless steel.
What Why
Chloride-Based Cleaners Using chlorine / bleach could result in pin holes.
Sharp Objects Sharp edges can puncture the surface.
Onion / Olive Juice A galvanic chemical reaction transfers to the metal and causes pin holes.
Scouring Pads These will scratch the surface.
Hard Water This may leave hard water spots and deposits that break down the stainless steel.
NEVER USE THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS TO CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL
Condenser Coil Cleaning Instructions:
A dusty condenser may lead to high energy consumption, less cooling eectiveness,
and compressor damage.
The condenser coil is located at the bottom behind the panel.
1. Disconnect the electrical power from the unit.
2. Remove the front cover and base cover with a screwdriver.
3. Using a soft brush and/or vacuum, remove the dirt, lint, etc. from the finned condenser coil in a
vertical direction.
4. Clean the condenser with a commercial condenser coil cleaner, available from any kitchen equipment
retailer. Ex. Noble Chemical Tech Line.
5. After cleaning, straighten any bent condenser fins with a fin comb.
6. When finished, be sure to reinstall the front cover and base cover.
7. Reconnect the electrical power to the unit.
