Installation
This unit is intended for use in a temperature-controlled environment of less than 75°F and 60%
relative humidity.
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 airflow. 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 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 in the
unit.
•
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.
•
Please read through the manual in its entirety.
Cabinet Location Guidelines
• Install the unit on a strong and leveled surface.
• If the surface is uneven, the unit may be noisy.
• The unit may malfunction if the surface is uneven.
• Install the unit in an indoor, well-ventilated area.
• For best performance, please maintain clearance of 4" on the back of the unit.
• Brackets should be attached on the back of the unit.
• Do not use outdoors. For indoor use only.
• Avoid direct sunlight.
• Avoid installation in a high humidity and/or dusty area.
• Humidity above 60% can cause the unit to rust, collect condensation, and may
decrease eciency.
• Dust collected on condenser coil will cause unit to malfunction.
• Select a location away from heat and moisture-generating equipment.
• Ambient temperatures above 75°F may cause the compressor to malfunction.
• For optimal performance, this unit should not be used in environments with ambient
temperatures exceeding 75°F.
• The unit should not be placed in areas with an ambient temperature over 90°F.
• Equipment malfunctions due to ambient temperatures above 90°F could void the warranty.
• Do not install this unit inside a closet or alcove.
• For optimal performance, 3" of clearance is required around all louvered or vented panels to allow for
proper airflow.
• For your convenience, a set of brackets is included to prevent this unit from being pushed up
against a wall.
• Component failure due to improper installation is not covered under warranty.

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 protection. Refer to the electrical requirements on the unit's nameplate.
•
The 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, unplug 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.
Temperature Controls
•
Refrigerant LED - Compressor is on.
•
Fan LED - Fan is on.
•
Defrost LED - Defrost cycle is running.
•
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°F and a maximum
temperature of 40°F.
•
Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature at which your unit will run. Your unit
will not run constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:
Digital Control Units
1.
Hold “SET” for 1 second. The display will flash the
current minimum temperature.
2.
Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum
temperature.
3.
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°F
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.

Operation
Defrost System
Automatic Defrost Cycle
Running a Manual Defrost Cycle
•
Units are pre-programmed to run automatic defrost cycles at preset intervals. However, if you
would like to run a manual defrost cycle at any time, follow the steps below. Only models with
digital controls can run a manual defrost cycle. Units with mechanical controls cannot run a
manual defrost cycle.
•
Refrigerators: Press the defrost button (Snowflake and ▼) for approximately 3 seconds.
Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.
Loading Product
•
Before loading shelves, be sure that all shelf clips are completely fastened in their correct
locations.
•
Ensure all shelves are resting completely level before stocking your cabinet with product.
•
In order to maintain correct airflow inside the unit, be sure to leave 2-4" of space between
the back wall and stored product. Blocking the evaporator fans will result in a warmer cabinet
temperature, and ultimately compressor failure.
•
DO NOT store flammable/explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
Loading Food Pans
•
These units are designed to function with ALL pans in place, even if some are to be left empty.
•
For maximum food freshness, fill the pans only with the amount that can be used in a specific
usage period.
•
During non-use, close the insulated lid cover.
•
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32°F).
•
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 initiate at pre-set intervals and for a pre-determined duration.

DISCONNECT POWER CORD BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE UNIT.
It is strongly recommended that any servicing of the unit be performed by an authorized service
technician.
Fan Blades & Motor
•
If necessary, clean the fan blades and motor with a soft cloth.
•
If it is necessary to wash the fan blades more thoroughly, cover the fan motor to prevent moisture
damage, then use a damp cloth to clean the fan blades.
Exterior
•
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.
NEVER USE THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS TO CLEAN 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.
