Cam-Lock Operation
The cam-lock locking device is located in the perimeter edge of all panels. Cam-Lock access holes are located on the
interior side of the panels. Generally speaking the male locks are located on the right side, top and bottom of the wall
panels.
The cam action of the lock will pull the panels together, compressing the factory applied gasket and providing an air
tight seal.
To operate the cam-lock, (as shown) insert the
panel lock wrench (located in the accessory box)
through the lock access hole and into the hex
opening in the male cam-lock.
Turn the panel lock wrench counter clockwise
to check that the locking arm is brought to a
completely open position.
Next, rotate the panel lock wrench clockwise 3/4 of
a full turn to actuate the lock engaging the locking
arm to the lock pin. The cam action of the lock will
pull the panels together, compressing the factory
applied gaskets and providing an air tight seal.
Finally, rotate the panel lock wrench approximately
1/4 turn to fully actuate the lock by securing the
cam-lock arm to the pin. Once all the cam-locks
are engaged, the access holes must be plugged
with the supplied lock hole buttons (located in the
accessory box).
Male and female cam-lock mechanisms must line-up on adjacent panels, but are able to tolerate a +/- 1/8” tolerance.
Continually check to see that the tops of the adjacent panels are evenly lined up and ush before locking.
Continually check to see that the interior seam of the panels being locked together is ush, tolerance is +/- 1/64”.

(the sheet metal housing the fans).
Coupling halves are connected by a hexagonal union nut using the following procedure:
a) Remove protective caps including black neoprene seal. Check caps carefully to ensure black seal is
still in cap and has not been lodged in quick-connect coupling.
b) Wipe all coupling seals and threaded surfaces clean to prevent inclusion of dirt or foreign matter in
the system.
c) Lubricate rubber seal in the male half with refrigerant oil.
d) Thread couplings together halfway by hand to insure proper mating of threads. (Be careful not to
cross thread the couplings). Tighten with proper wrenches until coupling bodies “bottom” or until a
denite resistance is felt. Then tighten an additional 1/6 to ¼ turn.
e) All connections should be leak tested after tightening. Low side connections should be wrapped with
insulation tape.

Defrost
Use this mode to defrost the evaporator coil. The defrost
cycle must be manually engaged (see controller operation
below). Defrost the unit once a day or as needed. Ice
build-up can be observed by looking thru the fan grill at the
evaporator coil. The factory preset for the Defrost Cycle is
30 minutes.
Thaw Cycle
(if equipped)
Use to thaw frozen products. Units equipped with the
Thaw feature will be delivered with a special thaw probe, a
cordless drill and a sanitary drill bit. Use the cordless drill
and sanitary drill bit to provide a hole to probe the frozen
product.
Automatic Mode: The air temperature will cycle between 42°F and 50°F until the food temperature,
as recorded by the thaw probe, will reach 32°F; at this point the blast chiller will switch into holding
mode where the air temperature will cycle between 35°F and 42°F until the food is removed from
the cabinet and/or cycle is stopped by the operator.
Manual Mode: The air temperature will cycle between 42°F and 50°F for a preset amount of time,
set by the operator at the time of starting the cycle. After the cycle time expires, the unit will switch
into holding mode where the air temperature will cycle between 35°F and 42°F until the food is
removed from the cabinet and/or cycle is stopped by the operator.
NOTE: When probing for thaw cycle, use the drill bit to provide a hole in the frozen product.
Heated Probe
(if equipped)
Use the Heated Probe feature prior to extracting the
temperature probe from the frozen product. Gentle heat
will be applied to the food probe for 5 seconds to facilitate
the extraction of the probe. The Heated Probe will run only
if the temperature at the food probe is below 30°F. Repeat
the heated probe cycle if needed.
