PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Inspection for Shipping Damage
You are responsible for filing all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons
and crates for damage as soon as they arrive. If damage is noted to shipping crates, cartons, or if
a shortage is found, note this on the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing.
If damage is discovered when the case is uncrated, immediately call the delivering truck line and
follow up the call with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for
an immediate inspection of your concealed damage item. Crating material must be retained to
show the inspector from the truck line.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Locating the Display Case
The case should be located where it is not subjected to the direct rays of the sun, heating ducts,
grills, radiator, or ceiling fans, nor should it be located near open doors or main door entrances.
Also, avoid locations where there are excessive air movement or air disturbances.
On refrigerated models the condenser air inlet and discharge is located at the rear of the case. Do
not block this inlet and do not locate the air inlet near a source of heat.
Removing Case From Shipping Skid
CAUTION: Do not push against the top glass, front glass, end glass, doors or
door frames when removing the case from the skid or moving the case. Case
damage or glass breakage could result.
1. Remove crate top and sides and note missing or damaged items as explained in the pre-installation
procedures outlined above.
2. Move the case as near as possible to the final location and before removing it from the shipping skid.
3. If your case is supplied with plastic end panels, remove them by lifting them in an upward direction.
Set these end panels aside to be reinstalled after case is placed in proper position.
4. Remove the (4) brackets that secure the case to the shipping skid.
5. Lift case off of skid and into required position.

6. Level and square the case as needed by adjusting the leg leveler in each corner of base. (Use the
wrench provided.) (The case must be level for proper drainage of defrost condensate to the
condensate evaporator and allow for proper alignment of front glass.) The 50”, 59”, & 77” cases
also have a set of leg levelers in the center. These must be adjusted until the bottom of the base is
flat. Failure to adjust center leg could cause rear sliding doors to fall out of track.
7. The leveled case must be sealed to the floor using a NSF Listed Sealant.
Grill Removal (Refrigerated Units)
DANGER: Electric shock hazard. Do not operate unit with panels removed.
There is a removable slotted panel at the rear of the case. The panel allows access to the
condensing unit, the light ballast, the condensate pan, and the field wiring connection box.
Remove this panel to make field wiring connections. See electrical information and grounding
section of this manual before wiring case.
Note: If electrical connection has been performed, disconnect power to case before removing grill panel.
1. Remove the rear grill panel screws from top of rear grill.
2. Tilt the top of rear grill panel outward as shown in illustration on the right.
3. Pull rear grill panel tabs up and out of slots in base of case.

Condensate Evaporator (Refrigerated Units)
This case is furnished with an electrical condensate evaporator. Plumbing connections are not
required.
The condensate evaporator is located toward the front of the machine compartment and is
accessible from the rear of the case. After removal of rear grill panel, make sure that the drain
line has not been dislodged during shipment and that the drain trap is located properly over the
water reservoir of the condensate evaporator pan.
Cleaning
For initial setup, clean the case as outlined in the weekly cleaning section of this manual.
Refrigeration Installation (Refrigerated Units)
Self Contained Models
The self-contained models are shipped from the factory with a completely operational 134A
refrigeration system and require no modifications or adjustments upon installation.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION &
GROUNDING
This Case Must Be Grou ded
DANGER: Improper or faulty hookup of electrical components in the
display case can result in severe injury or death.
Only a licensed electrician must perform all case electrical connections.
All electrical wiring hookups must be done in accordance with all applicable local, regional, or national
electrical standards.
A separate circuit for each display case is recommended to prevent other appliances on the same circuit
from overloading the circuit and causing malfunction.
The electrical service must be grounded upon installation.
Optional Permanent Connected Models,
If this unit is designed for permanent connection to a power source. See the electrical data plate located
at the rear of the case for proper circuit size and wire ampacity.
The electrical connection box is accessible from the rear of the case. Remove rear grill on refrigerated
models. (See “Grill Removal” in the installation section of this manual.) See diagram below for
location of the field wiring connection box.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Controls (Refrigerated Units)
Light Switch
This switch controls the power to the lighting circuit. The switch rocker is red in the “on”
position, black in the “off” position.
Temperature Control
This controls the refrigerated side by cycling the compressor/condensing unit. It has an “off”
position and the coldest setting when the knob is set all the way in the clockwise position. Set
this control at the lowest setting possible, while maintaining desired case temperature.
Controls (Non-Refrigerated Units)
Power Switch
This switch controls the power to the lighting circuit and to the optional interior fan if supplied.
The switch rocker is red in the “on” position and black in the “off” position.
Shelves
Each display is furnished with shelves that are adjustable up and down and can be tilted in three
angular positions. See “Shelving Installation & Removal” section of this manual for proper
installation, adjustment and removal of shelving.
Sliding Rear Doors
The doors can be easily removed by lifting doors upward until the bottom edge of door clears the
lower track. Swing the bottom of door outward and down out of top track.
Clean the door track frequently for easy door operation. A Very light film of lubricant, such as
PAM, will help the doors slide easily.
On 59” and 77” models: If rear doors are falling out of track adjust the base center leg lever
located under rear of base taller. If rear doors are difficult to remove from track adjust leg
leveler shorter.

Placing Product into Case
After completing shelving installation as outlined in “Shelving Installation and Removal” section
of this manual you may begin placing product into the display case.
- Do not exceed 150 pounds of weight per shelf. Heavy product should be distributed evenly
across the entire shelving area.
- Determine desired shelving location and angle before placing product in case. Product must be
removed to readjust shelf location and angle.
(Refrigerated Models)
- Do not overhang the front of wire shelves with product. Product may overhang rear of shelf,
but allow a minimum of 1-1/2” between product and rear door. Improper clearance in front and
rear of shelf will block the refrigerated airflow and could cause product loss.
-Do not block the slots along the front or rear of the case display pan. Covering these slots will
block the refrigerated airflow and could cause product loss.
-The display pan is removable for cleaning and can become dislodged in shipment. To ensure
proper airflow and performance of the case, make sure that the display pan is pushed completely
down into evaporation tub. Check that the pan is installed properly before placing product the
display pans.
-Allow refrigerated models to run for at least two hours before placing pre chilled product into
unit. Turn temperature control to the lowest possible position that maintains required interior
cabinet temperature.
-CASE SHOULD BE STOCKED WITH PRE-CHILLED PRODUCT
ONLY.
ATTENTION:
- Refrigerated display cases are designed to operate in a maximum
environment of 75 DEG. F and 55% relative humidity. Exceeding these
limits could cause poor case performance and sweating of glass
panels.
