This is a cord-connected unit, and must be connected to its own dedicated power supply. Check the dataplate on the
machine to conrm the voltage and per the dataplate use the correct fuses or HACR circuit breakers.
Note: Do not connect to GFI / GFCI outlets. Connection to that type of outlet can result in product loss due to
unsafe cabinet temperature when GFI device trips from moisture.
Power Cord
This 120 volt model is equipped with a cord and a 5-15P plug.
If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced
with the identical cord.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug, which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Initial Start Up
Before connecting your equipment, check that the
electrical data on the data plate matches your electrical
output. If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer
performance may be aected. Operating the freezer with
insucient power can damage the compressor. Such
damage is not covered by the warranty. If you suspect
the voltage is too high or low, consult with your power
company for testing.
Plug the power cord into the proper power supply.
The cabinet temperature has been set at the factory and
should not be adjusted by unqualied personnel. For any
adjustment, you must contact your distributor.
Cautions
Unplug the freezer before cleaning and making repairs.
Care must be taken whenever moving or servicing the
unit. The refrigerant is contained in a sealed system, but if
released it may be ammable.
PLUG THE EQUIPMENT INDEPENDENTLY TO A LOAD
CENTER WITH AN APPROPRIATE CIRCUIT BREAKER
ACCORDING TO THE NAMEPLATE AMPS.
To prevent the freezer from being turned o accidentally,
do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
Follow All National and Local Codes
This Unit Must Be Grounded. Do not use extension cords
and do not disable or by-pass ground prong on electrical
plug.
Electronic Temperature Control
To access the temperature control, the right side grill should
be removed using a Phillips screw driver (see gure below).
The temperature control is factory pre-set to provide
satisfactory product storage products. However, the
temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of
temperatures for your personal satisfaction. If a colder
temperature is desired, turn the control clockwise. Allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.

THIS UNIT CANNOT BE INSTALLED IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH EXPLOSIVE GASES, IT IS DESIGNED ONLY FOR
INDOOR OPERATION.
STORAGE OF THE EQUIPMENT:
• The unit must be located in an indoor environment. It
is best suited for an environment where temperatures
remain below 75°F and humidity doesn't exceed 55%.
• For the correct performance of the refrigeration system,
it is very important to leave at least 4" of free space on
both sides, and at the back of the unit to allow proper air
circulation. Do not block the grills on the side or back of
the unit.
• The location of the cooler must be kept away from
sources of heat and humidity including direct sunlight,
ovens, heaters, or any other heat generating appliances.
• If the equipment will be kept in storage, it is suggested
to keep it in it's original packing. If your equipment
needs to be inactive for a long period of time, it should
be uplugged and cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth,
lukewarm water, and neutral soap. Once clean, carefully
dry the unit and cover it with a polyethylene lm or
similar waterproof material.
LOADING THE EQUIPMENT:
The NC series of units are not intended to be pull down
freezers, and as such, the product must be loaded at their
intended merchandising temperature.
OVERLOADING THE FREEZER FORCES THE COMPRESSOR
TO RUN LONGER. DO NOT EXCEED THE LOAD LIMIT
ACCORDING TO LABELS FIXED ON THE INNER CABINET
(WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE BASKETS' HEIGHT)
• Before loading products, allow the equipment to
operate empty for at least four hours.
• Product to be loaded should be at -4°F since the
equipment is intended for maintaining a cool product
at 0°F at load level rather than freezing a warm
product.
• The baskets have been designed to withstand the
rigors of normal use. Avoid product overloading to
prevent deforming the baskets.
• Keep the lids closed to avoid warm air and moisture
getting into the freezer.
MOVING THE EQUIPMENT:
The unit is shipped with casters to facilitate moving the
unit into position.

FOR THE SERVICE TECH - R290
Refrigeration service should only be attempted by a trained trade professional certied to work on R290 systems.
Here are some critical service items.
This list does not qualify anyone to service the unit. It is a
reminder and checklist for the service tech. Keep these in
mind for R290 service:
• Wire nuts are NOT to be used when changing an
electrical part.
• The switches in this product are sealed, only exact
replacements may be used.
• The process tubes are to be used for service access.
• Cut out (with tubing cutter) refrigeration components
that are to be replaced. Do NOT un-braze.
• Because R290 can be vented into the air during
service, the venting MUST be in an area free from
ame or spark. It must be near an opened window or
door.
• A sign noting service of a system containing propane
must be attached to the unit during refrigeration
service.
• A combustible gas leak detector must be used to
inform anyone in the area when propane is present in
the air.
Other Information:
Evacuation: It is critical that a refrigeration system be
leak free and internally dry. A thorough evacuation with
a good vacuum pump with a micron gauge attached is the
only way to ensure that the system is dry and ready for a
charge of refrigerant.
Charging: The system is critically charged and the proper
type and amount MUST be weighed in.
Overcharge symptoms: Unit will cool properly but
the suction line temperature will be unusually cold.
Compressor run time will be longer than normal.
Undercharge symptoms: Long run time, poor cooling
and a hot compressor dome are the main symptoms of an
undercharge.

POWER/FREEZE FAILURE
NOTE: DO NOT OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR UNNECESSARILY IF POWER TO THE FREEZER IS OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS.
IF A POWER FAILURE OCCURS, FROZEN FOODS WILL STAY FROZEN FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS IF THE FREEZER IS KEPT
CLOSED. IF THE POWER FAILURE CONTINUES, PACK SEVEN OR EIGHT POUNDS OF DRY ICE INTO THE FREEZER EVERY
24 HOURS. COVER THE PRODUCT WITH A CARDBOARD SHEET OR ONE INCH POLYURETHANE SHEET AND CLOSE THE
LIDS. ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING DRY ICE.
IF THE FREEZER HAS STOPPED OPERATING, SEE "FREEZER DOES NOT RUN" IN THE SERVICE CHECKLIST SECTION OF
THIS MANUAL. IF YOU CANNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, CALL AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT ALLOW
INEXPERIENCED PEOPLE TO REPAIR OR MODIFY THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND/OR REFRIGERATION COMPONENTS.
BEFORE CALLING SERVICE, REVIEW THIS LIST. IT MAY SAVE YOU BOTH TIME AND COSTS. THIS LIST INCLUDES
COMMON OCCURRENCES THAT ARE NOT THE RESULT OF DEFECTIVE WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS IN THIS
APPLIANCE.
OCCURRENCE SOLUTION
Freezer runs too much or for
too long
Check to ensure that the freezer is not plugged into a circuit that has ground fault interrupt - if you are unsure about the outlet,
have it checked by a certied technician.
Temperature control is in the OFF position - see "Setting the Temperature Control Section".
Freezer may not be plugged in, or the plug may be loose - be sure the plug is tightly pushed into electric outlet.
House fuse has blown, or the circuit breaker has tripped - check the circuit breaker and reset if needed, or replace fuse with a 15
amp time delay fuse.
In case of power outage - call the local electric company.
Temperature inside the freezer
is too low
Room or outside weather is hot - it's normal for the freezer to work harder under those conditions.
Freezer was recently disconnected for a period of time - the freezer requires 4 hours to cool down completely.
Large amounts of warm or hot product have been stored recently - warm product will cause the freezer to run more until the
desired temperature is reached.
Door is kept open too long or too frequently - warm air enters the freezer every time the door is opened, try to open the door
less often.
Freezer door may be slightly open.
Temperature control is set too cold - turn the control knob to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the temperature to
stabilize.
Temperature inside the freezer
is too high
Temperature control is set too low - turn the control to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize
Temperature of external freez-
er surface is warm
Temperature control is set too high - turn the control to a colder setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently, which allows warm air to enter the freezer every time it is opened. - try
to open the door less often.
The door may be slightly opened.
The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time - allow 4 hours to cool down completely.
Noise level is higher whenever
the freezer is on
The exterior freezer walls can be as much as 30°F warmer than the room temperature. This is normal while the compressor
works to transfer heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Noise level is higher when the
compressor comes on
The fan motor in the compressor compartment is damaged or has a loose connection.
Modern freezers have increased storage capacity and more even temperatures, so they require a high eciency compressor. So
when the surrounding noise level is low, you may hear the compressor running while it cools the interior.
Popping or cracking sound
when the compressor comes
on
Freezer operates at higher pressure during the start of the ON cycle - this is normal, the sound will level o or disappear as the
freezer continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound,
like water boiling
Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, similar to hot water pipes - this is normal, the sound will level or disappear as
the freezer continues to run.
Vibrating or rattling noise Refrigerant (used to cool freezers) is circulating throughout the system - this is normal.
Moisture forms on the inside
freezer walls
Freezer is not level, it may rock on the oor when it is moved slightly - level the unit.
Floor is uneven or weak, freezer rocks on the oor when it is moved slightly - be sure the oor can adequately support the
freezer. If so, level the freezer by placing either wood or metal shims under part of the freezer.
Weather is hot, or humidity level is high, this increases the internal rate of frost build-up - this is normal.
Door is slightly open, kept open too long, or is being opened too frequently - this causes the cold air from inside the freezer to
meet the warm moist air from outside.
Odor inside the freezer Interior needs to be cleaned - clean the interior according to the instructions in this manual.
Products with strong odors are inside the freezer - cover the product tightly.
