REFRIGERATED
COLD PAN/FROST TOP MANUAL
®
Please read this manual completely prior to installation and/or operation. This unit is
designed for commercial use only. This manual must be retained for future reference.
GENERAL INSTALLATION:
These units are intended for indoor use only. A room temperature of not more than 86°F (30°C) is
recommended. For counter top units, reinforce the counter as necessary to provide maximum
loading. For drop-in (countertop) units, reinforce the counter as necessary to provide adequate
support for fully loaded unit. Drop-in units must have at least 200 sq in of unobstructed air intake
and a separate 200 sq in of air exhaust provided by the installer or cabinet maker.
CAUTION: Unit requires that the sides and bottom are not any closer than 3” to any
combustible material.
1. The temperature sensing probe must be checked to ensure it did not come loose
during shipping. This probe (black) should be inserted into a copper pipe near the fan.
Firmly push up with your finger to ensure it is fully seated. (If the probe is not seated,
when you power on the unit you will get a temperature reading above 33°F and the
compressor will not operate).
2. The unit’s drain must have an outlet to an appropriate drainage area or container.
The drain on all units is shipped loose and must be connected during installation.
NOTE: Moisture collecting from improper drainage can create a slippery surface on the floor
and a hazard to employees. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide a container or outlet for
drainage. Some units may have polyethylene insulation in the drain hole. This can easily be
cut out without any contact or damage to the units interior insulation or refrigeration lines.
3. Refer to the amperage and voltages on the serial tag and your local code to be sure the
unit is connected to the proper power source. A protected circuit of the correct
voltage and amperage must be run for connection of the line cord. All units have an
“ON/OFF” switch located behind the louvered panel in the machine compartment.
Simply turn the switch to “ON” to begin operation or“OFF” position to
power down the unit. NOTE: The unit must be disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service or maintenance functions. Never operate the unit without the louvered
panel in place!
RECEIVING & INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT:
Even though most equipment is shipped crated, care should be taken during unloading so the
equipment is not damaged while being moved into the building.
1. Visually inspect the exterior of the package and skid or container. Any damage should
be noted and reported to the delivering carrier immediately.
2. If damaged, open and inspect the contents with the carrier.
3. In the event that the exterior is not damaged, yet upon opening, there is concealed
damage to the equipment notify the carrier. Notification should be made verbally as
well as in written form.
4. Request an inspection by the shipping company of the damaged equipment. This
should be done within 10 days from receipt of the equipment.
5. Also open the compressor compartment housing and visually inspect the refrigeration
package. Be sure lines are secure and base is still intact.
5. Freight carriers can supply the necessary damage forms upon request.
6. Retain all crating material until an inspection has been made or waived.
Uncrating the Equipment
First cut and remove the banding from around the crate. Remove the front of the crate
material, use of some tools will be required.

OPERATION:
Temperature Setpoint Adjustment
The factory default Set Point value (SP)
is 32°F (20°F for frost top units). To make
adjustments (if no access code parameter
set; see below if access code is set):
• Press and release SET. SP text
appears on the display.
• Press SET again. The real value is
shown on the display.
• Modify the value using the UP and
DOWN keys.
• Press SET and DOWN to quit programming, or wait 1 minute for the TIMEOUT.
To access all parameters (code protected - see codes on page 4):
• Press SET for 8 seconds. The access code value 00 is shown on the display.
• Using the UP and DOWN buttons, the code may be changed if desired.
(factory-set code is 00).
• Press SET to enter the code. If it is correct, the first parameter label will be shown on
the display (SP).
• Move to the desired parameter with the UP and DOWN keys.
• Press SET to see the value.
• Modify the value with the UP and DOWN keys.
• Press SET to enter it, and exit to text parameter.
• Press SET and DOWN to quit programming, or wait 1 minute for the TIMEOUT.
OPERATION IN CASE OF ERROR:
If the probe or thermostat memory should fail, the compressor will be connected for
5 minutes ON then 5 minutes OFF. An error code will be displayed on the controller with ei-
ther an Er=Memory Error, oo=Open probe error or __=Short Circuit Probe Error.
In either case, please contact the factory.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS:
For Stainless Steel:
WARNING: Do not use steel wool or any caustic cleaners (bleach, ammonia, or acidic properties).
These items will damage and corrode the surface. Many food products have an acidic content,
which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the stainless steel surfaces of all food
products. Common items include, tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables.
To prevent discoloration or rust on stainless steel several important steps need to be taken.
First, we need to understand the properties of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains
70- 80% iron, which will rust. It also contains 12-30% chromium, which forms an invisible
passive film over the steels surface, which acts as a shield against corrosion. As long as
the protective layer is intact, the metal is still stainless. If the film is broken or contaminated,
outside elements can begin to breakdown the steel and begin to form rust of discoloration.
Proper cleaning of stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic scouring pads.
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-chloride cleaners. Any cleaner
containing chlorides will damage the protective film of the stainless steel. Chlorides are
also commonly found in hard water, salts, and household and industrial cleaners. If
cleaners containing chlorides are used be sure to rinse repeatedly and dry thoroughly upon
completion. Routine cleaning of stainless steel can be done with soap and water. Extreme
stains or grease should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and plastic scrub pad. It
is always good to rub with the grain of the steel. There are also stainless steel cleaners
available which can restore and preserve the finish of the steels protective layer. Early signs
of stainless steel breakdown can consist of small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean
thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to restore the passivity
of the steel.
For The Condenser Coil:
WARNING: Always disconnect power and take appropriate lock-out precautions before inspecting
or cleaning condenser coil. Never operate unit with condenser cover removed. Never use a
high-pressure water wash for this cleaning procedure as water can damage the electrical
components located near or at the condenser coil.
The condenser coil requires regular cleaning, recommended is every 90 days. In some
instances though you may find that there is a large amount of debris and dust or grease
accumulated prior to the 90-day time frame. In these cases the condenser coil should be
cleaned every 30 days. If the build up on the coil consists of only light dust and debris the
condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple brush, heavier dust build up may require a
vacuum or even compressed air to blow through the condenser coil. If heavy grease is
present there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically for the
condenser coils. The condenser coil may require a spray with the de-greasing agent and
then blown through with compressed air. Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can
initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times, continuous operation with dirty
or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures. Neglecting the condenser
coil cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated with the compressor or cost to
replace the compressor.
In order to maintain proper refrigeration performance, the condenser fins must be cleaned
of dust, dirt and grease regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least every three
months. If conditions are such that the condenser is totally blocked in three months, the
frequency of cleaning should be increased. Clean the condenser with a vacuum cleaner or
stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a commercially available condenser cleaner may be required.
