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 or 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 is excessive air movement or
air disturbances.

Removing Case from Shipping Skid
Move the case as near as possible to the final location before removing it from the
shipping skid.
Remove the eight (8) screws that secure the case to the skid.
Removing Packaging Material
Remove the brackets that held the case to the shipping skid.
Remove the shipping tape that secures the doors and lift-up glass. If it is necessary to
remove tape residue from plastic materials, use cleaning compounds recommended in
the cleaning section of this manual.
Leveling the Case
The case must be level for proper drainage of the tub.
Four (4) leg levelers are provided for leveling the case. The leg levelers can be turned
in, and the case can be placed with the base frame on the floor.
The leveled case must be sealed to the floor using and NSF Listed Sealant.
Grill Removal
There is one (1) removable panel on the back of the case. The panel allows access to
the field wiring connection box. Remove this panel to make field-wiring connections.
Drain
The case is supplied with a 1” male NPT drain fitting that can be used for a
connection to a drain.
Humidity System
A water line must be connected to the unit in order for the automatic-fill humidity system to
function. The water line has a 1/4” SAE flare fitting for connection to a water supply. A
water filter is highly recommended to reduce lime deposits in water

needle valve can be adjusted to reduce incoming water pressure to solenoid.
Needle valve is located at inlet of solenoid valve.
Lights
The lights are coated incandescent bulbs and must be replaced with exact
equivalent bulbs. (60 Watt Maximum)
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION &
GROUNDING
This Case Must Be Grounded
All case electrical connections must be performed only by a licensed electrician.
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.
This unit is designed for permanent connection to a power source. See the electrical
data plate located next to electrical junction box for proper circuit size and wire
ampacity.
The electrical field connection 2 x 4 box is accessible from the rear of the case and is
located in the right “leg” (as viewed from case rear). A second 2 x 4 field connection
box is also located in the right leg and is required to supply electrical power to the
general purpose receptacle.
Market Deli Heated Cases Page 5
DANGER: Improper or faulty hookup of electrical components in
the display case can result in serve injury or death.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Initial Start-Up
After all the checks outlined in the installation section of this manual have been made,
the case is ready to be put into service.
Doors
Clean the door track frequently for easy door operation. A very light film of lubricant,
such as PAM, will help the doors slide easily.
The entire door track assembly may be removed if desired by tilting the top back and
lifting the entire frame out.
The display case is intended to be operated with the rear doors in place. However,
during peak service periods, the doors may be removed for ease of serving out of case.
DO NOT keep doors off unit for long periods of time. Temperature display may not read
accurately with doors off of case. Disregard this temperature reading if doors have
been off unit for extended periods.
Light Replacement
Light bulbs are removed by unscrewing counter clockwise. Install bulbs by screwing in
clockwise. Do not over tighten.
When replacing lights, use direct equivalents to the original bulbs.
Placing Product into Case
Do not block the slots along the front or rear of the case display floor.
CASE SHOULD BE STOCKED WITH PRE-CHILLED PRODUCT ONLY.
All well cavities must be completely covered with food pans (not included) for proper
operation of case. A variety of sizes of pans can be used from 2” to 6” in depth.

Always preheat the wells before placing product into case. Freshly cooked product
should not be placed into case with a probed temperature of less than 170ºF.
The digital temperature display measures air temperature inside the case. This display
is an indication only. The most accurate method to confirm satisfactory temperatures is
to probe product inside the case.

Hinged Front Glass
DO NOT OPERATE GLASS UNTIL CASE REACHES ROOM TEMPERATURE.
The front glass hinges up for easy cleaning of the case interior. Pneumatic cylinders assist in
lifting the glass. The glass will hold open in any position.

be necessary to lift glass slightly to push it onto clips.
To close glass, push down on center of handle until glass resets on top of support clips. It
may be necessary to lift glass slightly to push it onto clips.
The hinged glass mechanism will give years of reliable operation in normal usage. Service on
the lift mechanism is required if . . .
-The glass becomes difficult to open.
-The glass does not hold in the open position.
-The glass closes fast.
Consult the factory if service is required.
Market Deli Heated Cases Page 7
CAUTION: Operation of lift-up glass is to be done by trained store
personnel only. This case is not intended to be used as
a self-serve unit. Do not allow customers to operate lift-
up glass.
