DOOR ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Align and adjust the door if it is not level or not sealing
properly. If the door is not sealed, the unit may not cool
properly, or excessive frost or condensation may form in
the interior.
NOTICE
Properly aligned, the door’s gasket should be
rmly in contact with the cabinet all the way
around the door (no gaps). Carefully examine the
door’s gasket to ensure that it is rmly in contact
with the cabinet. Also make sure the door gasket
is not pinched on the hinge side of the door.
Do not attempt to use the door to raise or pivot
your unit. This would put excessive stress on the
hinge system.
Alignment and Adjustment Procedure
1. Open door and remove gasket by taking hold of one
corner of the gasket and gently pulling it toward the
center of the door.
This will expose
the gasket chan-
nel.
2. Near each hinge

channel are 2 Torx
head adjustment
screws. Loos-
en each pair of
screws on both the
upper and lower
hinges.
3. Square and align
door as necessary.
4. Tighten all screws
on hinges.
5. Reinstall gasket into the channel starting at one
corner.
REVERSING THE DOOR
PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING:
As a convenience to you, this product is equipped
with a door that can be reversed. In order for the
door to function properly on either side of the
unit, one of the hinges is mounted with a spacer
and 2 Phillips head screws. The other hinge does
not have a spacer and is fastened to the unit with
2 Torx head screws. (Most machines come from
the factory with the door mounted on the right
side - handle on the left, hinges on the right.
To prevent stripping or breaking the screws, do
not use power tools during this procedure.
1. Open door.
2. Locate the hinge that has the spacer. Loosen, but do
not remove the 2 Phillips screws - the spacer will also
remain in place.

Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturer’s recommendation.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a
mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution
applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste to
the interior products and damage or discolor the lining.
DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual
defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through
the evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during
each off cycle.
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6 mm) or more,
manually defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can
also produce frost.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp
instrument to help speed up defrosting. These
instruments can puncture the inner lining or
damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of
heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up
defrosting can cause personal injury and
damage to the inner lining.

Thermistor
Evaporator Thermistor
If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a
preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will
otherwise operate normally. Refer to defrost section.
Thermistor Resistance Data
Thermistors
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.
Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings
using a resistance which varies based on surrounding
temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be
tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor
is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be
veried. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the
resistance should read 16.1k Ohms +/-5% on your meter.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor
connection that has become corroded can cause resistance
values from the thermistor to change as they pass through
a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of
our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to
keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply
dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter
a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the
thermistor and the thermistor harness.
Thermistor error information can be found in the Control
Operations - Service section.
This unit has two thermistors.
Thermistor one (Zone):
Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to
maintain the operating temperature within that zone.
Thermistor two (Evaporator):
Located on the evaporator. It is used for defrost.
THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistor
If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will
continue to cool in a backup mode (Self Preservation
Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit
will otherwise operate normally.

CONVECTION COOLING
This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling
system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet temperature,
cools product faster and increases energy eciency.
Evaporator Fan
The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air
from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back
into the refrigerated zone.
The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay
at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the
evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed
over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2
minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can
be modied through the service menu.
Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door switch
state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will stop.
When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will either
continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not currently
cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate air and
clear any condensation that may have appeared on glass
doors and shelves.
Note: If the unit is set to sabbath mode, the evaporator
fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.
In order to operate eciently, the evaporator fan blade
and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust
buildup.
Evaporator Fan Replacement
Should the evaporator fan need to be replaced follow the
steps below.
1. Remove any product from the unit.
2. Remove unit from cabinetry to access rear.
3. Disconnect power to the unit.
4. Remove back panel from unit.
5. Disconnect fan electrical connection at rear of unit.
6. Remove insulating foam from refrigerant line pass-
through hole as needed to gain clearance for fan plug.
