RECEIVING
Your unit was built, packaged, and inspected with extreme care. We shipped it to you using
carriers we trust with a proven track record of careful handling, good customer service, and on
time delivery. Unfortunately, regardless of all of these efforts sometimes accidents happen and
occasionally those accidents result in shipping damage. When the carrier picked up the
merchandise from us, they assumed responsibility for its condition en route to you. Thus, any
claims for shipping damage must be filed with the carrier. Like anybody else, carriers don’t like
to pay out on insurance claims, so their claims procedures and requirements are very
restrictive. You should consult the carrier’s website for their specific claims procedures. You
should also know that time is of the essence.
There are two general types of shipping damage. The first is visible damage. This type of
damage includes visible loss, damage, shortage or any external evidence of loss or damage that
is visible at time of delivery. This type of damage must be noted in detail on your delivery
receipt. Make sure the driver signs and dates the delivery receipt, acknowledging the
damage. This has to happen at the time of delivery or it won’t happen at all. Keep a copy for
your records and send another to the carrier’s damage claims department along with a formal
request for an inspection report. Follow up with a phone call. Their contact information can be
found on the carrier’s web site.
The second type of shipping damage is concealed damage. This type of damage will probably
not be apparent at time of delivery and may not be discovered until unpacking and inspecting
the unit. Remember, time is of the essence here. You should unpack and inspect the unit as
soon as possible. Each day that passes reduces the likelihood that the carrier will pay the claim.
As soon as the concealed damage is discovered, stop unpacking and retain all packing
materials. Contact the carrier by phone to report the claim. Note the date and time and
person you spoke with. Get a claim number. Follow up with a written letter referencing the
claim number and including a formal request for an inspection. Again, consult the carrier’s
website for specific claim instructions and follow them precisely.
AS STATED ABOVE, THE CARRIER IS YOUR SOLE SOURCE FOR SATISFACTION OF A DAMAGE
CLAIM. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE MERCHANDISE BE RETURNED TO THE
MANUFACTURER. NO RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNCRATING
Move your refrigerator as close to the final
location as possible before unpacking.
Remove the carton and the styrofoam
strips. The location should be as close as
possible to the power outlet so no
extension cord is needed. This unit
requires a minimum of 4 inches of air
flow space in back and 3 inches on the
sides and back.
LEVELING
You can level your unit with the screw-type adjustable leveling legs on the front corners of the
unit. Turn counterclockwise to raise the corner; turn clockwise to lower it. Leveling legs are
required in front only. Unit may have a slight tilt from front to back. This is acceptable and
is recommended on this unit.
POWER SOURCE
The supply circuit to this cabinet must
conform to all National and Local Electrical
Codes. Consult the cabinet Serial-Data
plate for voltage, cycle, phase, and amp
requirements before making connection.
VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN
5% FROM SERIAL PLATE RATINGS. A
separate
circuit is
recommended to prevent possible loss of product due to
over-loading or failure of other equipment on the same
circuit. PROTECT THE CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP DELAY-TYPE
FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. Do not use an extension cord.
Be sure your unit is properly grounded. Use the 3-prong
plug provided into a 3-prong grounded outlet. (Only this
method complies with national electrical codes, local codes
and ordinances.) Unless the above grounding method is
followed, you are not protected against severe or lethal
shock in the event of a short circuit of an electrical
component or wiring of the unit.

STARTING
There are no compressor shipping bolts to loosen or valves to open. All that is necessary after
the unit has been properly leveled is to plug the service cord into an electrical outlet When
starting this new appliance, allow the cabinet to operate a minimum of four hours or until it has
started cycling normally before placing product in the cabinet. The motor compressor may
start and stop several times when the unit is first started or after defrosting, especially if the
weather is very hot. This is normal. The motor compressor will cycle normally as soon as the
excess heat has been removed.
Shelf Installation
Hook shelf clips onto pilaster strips (see Illustration). Position all four shelf clips equal in
distance from the floor for flat shelves. Wire shelves are oriented so that cross support bars are
facing down.
Place shelves on shelf clips making sure all corners are seated properly.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
NOTE: This control is preset at the factory to provide the desired air and
product temperatures inside of the unit and requires no further adjustment.
Please contact the manufacturer’s Technical Support Department before
making any adjustments to determine if adjustment is necessary and, if so, to
make sure it is performed properly.
The digital temperature controller is located on the front panel of the refrigerator. It normally
displays the current temperature inside of the unit and has several additional functions
including:
-Provide alarms when the temperature goes above or below the prescribed band.
-Maintain in memory the highest and lowest temperature recorded in the unit since the
last time it was reset.
-Provide various buttons and display icons to show the current condition of the unit and
to program a variety of functions including the control and alarm setpoints.
Front Panel Display

Part number 20220, Rev 0
7
NORMAL MODE
In normal operation, the controller will display the current temperature inside the unit.
-The HI/LO icon indicates that the HI/LO setpoints are being displayed
-The Cooling icon indicates that the compressor is on, cooling the unit.
-The Defrosting icon indicates that the unit is in manual defrost.
-Pressing the “SET” button will display the low end setpoint of the control cycle. This is
the temperature where the compressor will turn off. Pressing the RAISE or LOWER
buttons while the SET temperature is displayed will cause the controller to raise or
lower the SET temp.
-Pressing HI/LO will display the highest and lowest temperatures recorded since the last
time the memory was reset. Press and hold HI/LO for 6 seconds to reset the memory.
-Pressing HI/LO and SET together for 6 seconds will place the unit in a defrost cycle for 25
minutes. Pressing HI/LO and SET together again for 6 seconds (or waiting 25 minutes)
will take the unit out of the defrost cycle.
PROGRAM MODE
Note: Most of the functions in Program Mode are for factory use only and
should not be adjusted. This procedure will show you how to adjust a few user
adjustable settings.
Differential temperature - Press and hold SET for 6 seconds to enter Program Mode. Once “E1”
is displayed, press SET twice more until “E3” is displayed. This is the temperature differential
(DIFF) setpoint and sets the number of degrees above the SET temp when the compressor
comes on and begins to cool the unit. So, SET temp + DIFF temp = COMPRESSOR ON temp .Use
RAISE and LOWER to adjust the DIFF temp.
Alarm Delay Time - Press and hold SET for 6 seconds to enter Program Mode. Once “E1” is
displayed, press SET 10 more times until “C4” is displayed. Use the RAISE and LOWER to adjust
the alarm delay time from 0 to 60 minutes. The default is 10 minutes.
Celsius vs. Fahrenheit display –Press and hold SET for 6 seconds to enter Program Mode. Once
“E1” is displayed, press SET 11 more times until “F_C” is displayed. Pressing the RAISE or
LOWER arrow will toggle the setting between F for Fahrenheit and C for Celsius
display.

REFRIGERATOR OPERATION
After the unit is properly installed and power is applied, it will take some time before the
system is cooled down to temperature and cycling normally. You should wait 8 hours on the
first startup before beginning to add product to the unit. This ensures that the unit is installed
and operating properly before being put into service. After this wait time, the unit should be
cycling in the desired temperature band. The units are calibrated before leaving the factory, so
no adjustment should be necessary.
Loading the units will again cause temperature to rise as the warmer product is introduced into
the compartment. If a large amount of product is to be introduced, it is a good idea to do it in
stages, allowing several hours between stages to allow temperature to stabilize again before
introducing additional warm product. This will minimize the temperature transient while
loading. Other tips for successful loading include:
-Leave about 2-3 inches of free space along the back and sides of the unit to allow for proper
air flow and, therefore, more even cooling of the product.
-When loading the top shelf, avoid blocking the evaporator fan(s) (if installed). There should
be at least 4 inches of clearance around the fan to allow proper air flow.
-Do not overload the unit. Maximum suggested load is about 75% of the chamber volume.
Additionally, the load should be distributed evenly from top to bottom and side to side for
best results.
-Minimize the time the door is open. On top of letting the cold air out, you are also letting
warm, moist air in which can result in more condensation and/or frost in the unit.
Remember that the units are calibrated to the desired temperature band before leaving the
factory. We also do extensive testing to ensure that these temperatures will result in product
temperatures in the desired band. There should be no need to adjust the temperature control
on these units, but if it is necessary, they can be adjusted using the electronic temperature
control on the front of the unit.
It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you contact the manufacturer’s Technical Service
Department prior to performing any temperature adjustments to ensure the adjustment is
necessary and, if so, it is performed correctly.

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Check these items before calling for service
PROBLEM:
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOULTIONS:
Unit does not run
Electrical circuit is not 110-120V 60Hz.
The power cord is not plugged in.
No power at electrical outlet. Check to make sure
breaker is not tripped or fuse is not blown. Additionally,
make sure unit is not plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) type of outlet.
Unit does not maintain at the
proper temperature
Check the room temperature. We recommend the
refrigerator or freezer should be placed in the air
conditioned room between 65°F to 85°F. If the room
temp is too warm, the refrigerator or freezer may not be
able to maintain the interior temp at proper range.
Door is not closed properly.
Amount of stored product is overloaded.
Product replacements are pushed against rear wall or
interrupted the proper refrigerator air circulation. For
the proper air circulation, place the products evenly on
each shelf. Do not push against the refrigerator’s rear or
side walls.
Evaporator is blocked by frost or ice. Remove the
products, unplug the refrigerator or freezer power, and
allow the unit to defrost. If the problem still exists, call
for service.
Appliance runs too long
Prolong door openings.
Control set too cold.
Room temperature is high which will make the unit work
harder to keep cool.
Temperature of external wall
surface is warm
The exterior walls can be as much as 30 degrees warmer
than room temperature due to the embedded
condenser coils. This is normal when the unit is
operating.
Compressor noises
Check the unit level. Also ensure none of the pipes in
the compressor area are touching each other or against
the side.
Compressor may be overheated. Please check the room
temp and ensure the range is within 65°F to 85°F.
A buzzing noise may indicate improper voltage to the
compressor. Check supply voltage.
If the problem still exists, call for service.

PROBLEM:
POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOULTIONS:
Moisture collects inside
Door gasket is not sealing properly. Check for debris,
cracks, and items passing through door at the gasket.
The refrigerator or freezer is facing a doorway or is
underneath of air conditioning vent. Relocate the unit or
redirect air vent.
Too many door openings. Minimize time door is open.
Hot, humid weather increases condensation.
Make sure there is a water trap (U-shaped loop) in the
drain tube near the compressor. This will “trap” a small
amount of water in the loop and prevent air from
entering the chamber through the tube.
Moisture collects on outside
surface
Hot, humid weather increases condensation.
As humidity decreases, moisture will disappear.
The display shows “SO” and
the compressor does not run
The temperature sensor is open. Call for service.
The display shows “SC” and
the compressor does not run
The temperature sensor is shorted. Call for service.
The display shows “HH” and
the compressor does not run
The ambient temperature is above 40C/104F. Stop using
immediately.
The display shows “LL” and the
compressor does not run
The ambient temperature is below -40C/-40F. Stop using
immediately.
MOISTURE DURING THE SUMMER SEASON
The amount of moisture, condensation, or high humidity related issues increase during the summer
and, in most cases, will self-resolve when the weather cools down. Please note a refrigeration
system does NOT generate moisture or water but simply condenses the moisture that is already in
the chamber. Keeping the unit in an air conditioned, low humidity space will resolve many issues.
Other things you should check
1. Location of the refrigerator (See Quick Troubleshooting Guide above)
2. Door sealing and frequency of door opening event (See Quick Troubleshooting Guide above)
3. Make sure there is a water trap (U-shaped loop) in the drain tube near the end. This will
“trap” a small amount of water in the loop and prevent air from entering the chamber
through the tube.
BEFORE CALLING THE MANUFACTURER’S TECHNICAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT, please have the
unit’s model and serial number ready as well as the problem description. The model and serial
number is located on the serial tag which can be found on the interior left upper wall of the
unit.
