Product Placement
• Corners of the freezer will be the coldest due to the cold wall surrounding the tubs on two sides. Tubs
that are less than half full in the corners of the case may be hard to scoop.
• For ease of use, keep full tubs in the corners.
• The case will be colder closer to the bottom.
Electrical
• 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. NEVER USE AN ADAPTER PLUG! Refer to the electrical requirements
on the unit’s nameplate.
• This unit should have its own dedicated circuit.
• 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, 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.
Functions
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
Your new freezer is already factory set to run at optimum temperatures for food safety and ice
cream scooping and should require no adjustments.
Units are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of -15°F and a maximum temperature of -11°F. Ice
cream should be served between 6-10°F.
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.
• 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 +4 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. After temperature adjustment, always allow at least 24 hours for the product to conform to
the adjusted temperature.

Please Note
• The sound of water flowing during operation is normal; this is the refrigerant.
• When the humidity is high, condensation may form on the surface of the freezer.
• When the freezer is running, the condenser and compressor will be hot.
• For best performance, install where the temperature is below 75°F and 60% humidity.
Running a Manual Defrost Cycle
• Remove the user side grill at the base of the unit.
• Remove the drain hose and place it in a pan to catch the water.
• Remove rubber plug inside unit and defrost unit by unplugging the machine or using the controller to
