2. Installation Instructions
This section applies to all Everest products. Correct installation ensures proper performance and
longevity of your appliance. Professional installation by a trained refrigeration technician and
electrician is recommended. Warranty is void if the following guidelines are not met.
1. Inspect for any freight damage upon delivery
of the unit. If damage is detected, immediately
report it to an Everest representative. Everest is
not responsible for damage that occurs during
shipment.
2. Keep the unit upright at all times. The
compressor contains oil, refrigerant, lubricants,
and various chemicals. When tilted, these fluids
may shift and travel to sections where they
don’t naturally occur. This will lead to system
contamination and compressor failure.
3. Some units require caster installation for
proper performance. Visit our website at
www.everestREF.com and enter your product’s
model number in the search field to determine its
caster requirements.
4. Screw in the stainless steel corner guards that
come standard with chefbases. The corner guards
prevent cooking equipment from accidentally
sliding off the top surface.
5. Screw in the stainless steel top surface grips.
This should be used to safely maneuver the unit
for cleaning or relocation purposes.
6. Do not place your hands under the top surface
lip or on the unit chassis when moving it to avoid
injury from sharp edges, protruding parts or
weight impact.
7. Select a location with good air ventilation. Poor
ventilation rapidly increases ambient temperature.
High ambient temperatures exceeding 86°F
(30°C) promote excessive compressor activity in
order to maintain the desired cabinet temperature.
This will result in decreased performance,
advanced component failure and the risk of fire.
8. Position the unit so it’s front and right vents
are away from heat-generating equipment such as
stoves, ovens, etc. Heat sources rapidly increase
the temperature of the immediate vicinity. High
temperatures exceeding 86°F (30°C) promote
excessive compressor activity in order to maintain
the desired cabinet temperature. This will result
in decreased performance, advanced component
failure and the risk of fire.
9. A distance of 6” is required for back side
and left side clearance. This ensures proper
ventilation and prevents overheating which can
lead to advanced component failure and the risk
of fire.
10. Select a location with a hard, leveled surface.
Use a leveling tool on the unit to ensure proper
alignment. Proper door function and condensate
removal is dependent on accurate ba lance.
Install the front leg stabilizers for units that come
standard with it to ensure proper door / drawer
functions and unit stability.
11. Select a location close to an electrical wall
outlet to ensure direct connection without the use
of extension cords.
