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.

- For best performance, please maintain clearance of 4” 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 the condenser coil will cause the unit to malfunction.
• 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.

Installation of Casters
• Cut the two straps which attach the unit to the pallet.
• Adjust the unit on the pallet until the pre-drilled holes are exposed.
• Using wedges or team-lift, lift the unit high enough that there is enough clearance to ax
the caster.
CAUTION! NEVER LAY UNIT ON ITS BACK! UNIT SHOULD ONLY BE PLUGGED IN WHEN IT
HAS RESTED IN THE CORRECT UPRIGHT POSITION FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS. Failure to
meet the requirement will void warranty coverage if compressor damage ensues.
• For leveling, if dealing with a sloped or uneven floor, shims are provided. Insert any
necessary shims between the caster and the frame rail. Make sure the slot of the shim is
in contact with the treaded stem of the caster. If using more than one shim, it is necessary
to place them in opposite directions. If multiple shims are placed side by side in the same
direction, they may dislodge.
• Turn the bearing race clockwise to tighten and secure the caster. Use provided tool to secure
all casters properly.
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 protection. Please 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, 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
• 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 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 +6°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.
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: Press the defrost button (snowflake symbol and down arrow) for approximately 3
seconds. Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.
Defrost System
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor
down-time, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air though the evarporator 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.
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 leaset 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do

Cleaning the Condenser Coil
• For ecient operation, keep the condenser surface free of dust, dirt, and lint.
• We recommend cleaning the condenser coil at least once per month.
• A dusty condenser may lead to high energy consumption, less cooling eectiveness, and
compressor damage.
Condenser Coil Cleaning Instructions:
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: Nobel 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.
