3. Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately 8” and
block it securely with pieces of 2x4 lumber or other
suitable material.
4. While moving the unit, take extra caution to not push,
pull, or strike the front or side glass.
Leveling:
Cabinets must be leveled when installed. Level should be
measured on the headrail.
Note: If no casters, legs or levelers are to be installed,
the oor below the equipment must be level
Failure to level your cabinet may result in door not
sealing, closing correctly, or condensed water draining not
draining properly.
For cabinets with legs, rotate the foot of the leg with an
adjustable wrench to achieve desired height for leveling.
For cabinets with casters, leveling can be achieved by
placing large washers in between the ½’ stud and the
holes located on the bottom of the case.
Do NOT loosen casters to level the cabinet. Casters MUST
be tightly secured to cabinet for full strength.

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 either 5-15P
or 5-20P plug.
If the power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced
with the identical cord.
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.
Initial Start Up
Plug the power cord into the proper power supply.
The cabinet will soon begin to blow warm air out of the
top area, and cool air will ow from the inside blower.
The cabinet temperature has been set at the factory at
34°F and should not be adjusted by unqualied personnel.
For any adjustment, you must contact your distributor.
Cautions
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.
Electronic Temperature Control
The unit is provided with an electronic temperature
control which controls the operation of the unit based on
the temperature of the air entering the evaporator at the
front of the unit. In order to achieve the desired product
temperature, the electronic control is factory adjusted to turn
o the refrigeration system at 35°F and start it at 39.5°F .
When you plug the unit in, the control display will illuminate.
However, there is a start-up delay of two minutes before
the compressor(s) are energized. This delay avoids the
possibility that during a power failure, the compressors
are forced to restart before the refrigerant pressures are
equalized.
The control has been factory-adjusted with a defrosting cycle
scheduled to last 6 minutes every hour to ensure that the
evaporator performs without any ice build-up.
None of the factory-programmed electronic control
parameters can be modied unless an access code is entered
(only your distributor's technical personnel have that code).

CLEARING THE DRAIN LINES
It is likely that over time the drain lines will become
clogged, which will result in water overowing the
condensate pan onto the oor. This is a standard
maintenance item and will not be covered under warranty.
The drain lines can also be accessed by removing the
bottom panel from inside the unit (g. 5). Both holes for
the drain lines can be located (g. 6).
Obstructions can be removed either by compressed air or
nitrogen, or by physically removing the obstruction with a
drain cleaner.
DO NOT USE A CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANER, AS THIS
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

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.
Mechanical Components:
• The units will have either one or two compressors
that will start in two steps, with a delay of ten
seconds to reduce the rush of current into the unit.
• These units incorporate a "maintenance free"
condenser design in the refrigeration system which
reduces the need for the regular cleaning process that
n and tube condensers require. Besides the savings
in preventive maintenance costs, energy expenses
will be stable throughout long periods of time since
the condensers will remain "clean and unobstructed".
• In the event it is believed that the unit has had a
"freeze up" condition due to operation of the unit
in high temperature or humidity conditions, the
evaporator can be inspected by removing the oor of
the inside of the unit. In the event the evaporator is
frozen, it can be thawed by emptying the cabinet of all
contents and removing power until the coil is clear.
• When the equipment operates, condensed water
from the environment is collected on the evaporator.
During each o-cycle, the water drains to the
evaporator tray located at the bottom of the unit,
where it is evaporated using the heat from the
refrigeration system.
• The condensing unit can be pulled out, sliding it
approximately 16" to allow servicing the condenser
motor(s), compressor(s), and other electrical
components. In order to service the condensing unit,
remove the two screws that hold the lower front grille
(one at each side). Remove the screws that hold the
front bracket that clasps the condensing unit and
slide it out gently to have access to the components
you want to check. Once completed,ensure that every
component has been returned to it's original location
for proper operation.
• The lamp can be turned o with the switch located at
the left side of the upper section, near the lamp.
• The night curtain should be closed whenever the unit
is not required for actively merchandising products.
