UL LISTING
These merchandisers are manufactured to meet
ANSI/ UL 471 standard requirements for safety.
Proper installation is required to maintain the
listing.
FEDERAL / STATE REGULATION
These merchandisers at the time they are man-
ufactured, meet all federal and state/ provincial
regulations. Proper installation is required to
ensure these standards are maintained. Near
the serial plate, each merchandiser carries a
label identifying the environment for which the
merchandiser was designed for use.
ANSI/NSF-7 Type I – Display Refrigerator /Freezer
Intended for 75°F / 55%RH Ambient Application
ANSI/NSF-7 Type II – Display Refrigerator / Freezer
Intended for 80°F / 55%RH Ambient Application
ANSI/NSF-7 – Display Refrigerator
Intended for Bulk Produce
LOCATION
These merchandisers are designed for dis-
playing products in air conditioned stores
where temperature is maintained at or below
the ANSI / NSF-7 specified level and rela-
tive humidity is maintained at or below 55%.
Placing refrigerated merchandisers in direct
sunlight, near hot tables or near other heat
sources could impair their efficiency. Like other
merchandisers, these are sensitive to air distur-
bances. Air currents passing around merchan-
disers will seriously impair their operation. Do
NOT allow air conditioning, electric fans, open
doors or windows, etc. to create air currents
around the merchandisers. Product should
always be maintained at proper temperature.
This means that from the time the product is
received, through storage, preparation and dis-
play, the temperature of the product must be
controlled to maximize the life of the product.
Excel merchandisers have internal frames.
A 3inch (76 mm) space between the rear
of the merchandiser and wall must be
maintained for air circulation. However,
in high ambient conditions, sweating may
still occur. If this happens install a method
of forced ventilation such as a fan ven-
tilation kit. A 7-inch (178 mm) space is
required between the facade top and the
ceiling. A Louvered Facade Panel kit is
available that will allow for a top spacing
minimum clearance of 3 inches (76 mm).
INSTALLATION
Do not walk on top of case.
Do not store items or ammable
materials atop the case.
This warning does not mean that Hussmann products
will cause cancer or reproductive harm, or is in
violation of any product-safety standards or
requirements. As clarified by the California State
government, Proposition 65 can be considered more of
a‘right to know’ law than a pure product safetylaw.
When used as designed, Hussmann believes that our
products are notharmful. We provide the Proposition
65 warning to stay in compliance with California State
law. It is your responsibility to provide accurate
Proposition 65 warning labels to your customers when
necessary. For more information on Proposition 65,
please visit the California State government website.

FREEDOM LINE DESCRIPTION
Freedom Line models like the CF5X and
DF5NX merchandisers are designed to be
ready for remote installation of a top-mount-
ed, air-cooled condensing unit, such as
Hussmann’s TCMXA404A to TCMXD404A
series of condensing units. They are controlled
by the electronic control. The case tempera-
ture is controlled by cycling the compressor
based on the discharge air temperature input.
The sensor for this input is located in the dis-
charge air stream above the interior top panel.
Defrost is time initiated and temperature ter-
minated. The control is pre-programmed for
medium temperature food operation and is
adjusted for the required temperature by the
keypad located on the front of the controller,
which is on top of the case. Freedom cases
running on individual condensing units may be
installed as stand-alone cases with ends, or as
part of a lineup. When installed in a lineup,
Hussmann recommends that partitions be
installed between individual cases to prevent
frost buildup and other issues that might result
from different defrost schedules and operating
temperatures.
SHIPPING DAMAGE
All equipment should be thoroughly examined
for shipping damage before and during
unloading. This equipment has been carefully
inspected at our factory. Any claim for loss or
damage must be made to the carrier. The carri-
er will provide any necessary inspection reports
and/or claim forms.
Apparent Loss or Damage
If there is an obvious loss or damage, it must
be noted on the freight bill or express receipt
and signed by the carrier’s agent; otherwise,
carrier may refuse claim.
Concealed Loss or Damage
When loss or damage is not apparent until
after equipment is uncrated, retain all packing
materials and submit a written request to the
carrier for inspection, within 15 days.
UNLOADING
Improper handling may cause damage to the
merchandiser when unloading. To avoid
damage:
1. Do not drag the merchandiser out of the
trailer. Use a Johnson bar (mule).
2. Use one dolly to remove the merchandiser
from the trailer.
3. Use two dollies to move merchandisers to
lineup.
SERIAL PLATE LOCATION
Direct a flashlight through the return air grille
to locate the serial plate. Besure to position
wide island merchandiser fronts properly.
The front of wide island merchandisers is
readily identified by the location of the seri-
al plate affixed to the inside of the left front
assembly. Since all electrical and refrigeration
connections will be made at the front side, the
fronts will need to be positioned according to
the store plan layout.

EXTERIOR LOADING
Do NOT walk on top of merchandisers or
damage to the merchandisers and serious
personal injury could occur. They are noT
sTrucTurally designed To supporT exces-
sive exTernal loading such as the weight of
a person. Do not place heavy objects on the
merchandiser.
MERCHANDISERS SHIPPED
WITH END INSTALLED
If the merchandiser was shipped with the end
installed, two long bolts were used to hold the
shipping brace to the end. If the shipping bolts
are reinserted after removing the brace, they
will extend into the product area. Therefore,
be sure To replace These bolTs wiTh The
shorTer bolTs provided. NSF requires any
bolt or screw in the product area be capped
or cut off if it has more than three exposed
threads.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage the factory
installed end while moving the case. Make
sure that tools are positioned past the end
and beneath the merchandiser’s support bar.
MOVING MERCHANDISER INTO
POSITION
The electrical box and GFCI receptacle are
mounted on top of the case. They can be tem-
porarily detached and suspended if required
to provide clearance for door openings during
shipment and installation. Do not suspend these
components by their wire conduits. The case
height without these components installed on
top is 81.75 in. (2102 mm). Be sure to replace
all screws and to secure all components. The
condensing unit produces vibration that can
cause screws to loosen. See photo at upper left
corner of this page.
SHIPPING BRACES
Move the merchandiser as close as possible
to its permanent location and then remove all
packaging. Check for damage before discard-
ing packaging. Remove all separately packed
accessories such as kits and shelves. Remove
end braces and discard hardware
SHIPPING RIDER
Each merchandiser is shipped on a rider to
protect the factory installed front legs, and
to make positioning the merchandiser easier.
DO NOT remove the front rider until the mer-
chandiser has been positioned. Once the rider
is removed, the case must be lifted –NOT
PUSHED– to reposition. To remove the rider,
remove bolts attaching rider to each leg.
Secure Flex Hoses When Detached
Remove Bolts from Front

MERCHANDISER LEVELING
Merchandisers must be installed level to ensure
proper operation of the refrigeration system
and to ensure proper drainage of defrost
water. During all steps of setting, joining and
leveling merchandisers, close attention to posi-
tion and operation must be maintained.
NOTE: Begin lineup leveling from the
highest point of the store floor.
Preparation
1. Using store blueprints, measure off and
mark on floor the exact dimensions/locations
of the merchandiser footprint. A 3 inch space
is required behind each merchandiser to prevent
condensation.
2. Snap a chalk line for the front and rear
positions of the base legs.
3. Mark the location of each joint from front
to back lines.
4. FLOORS ARE NOT LEVEL!!! When
working with two or more merchandisers to
be joined, the whole lineup must be leveled
on the same plane, left to right and front to
back. This means that the entire lineup must
be brought up to the level of the highest case
in the lineup.
Along the lines previously marked, find the
highest point of the floor by:
• Walking the floor and noticing any dips or
mounds;
• Using a string level; and
• Using a transit.
Leveling
Position the first merchandiser at the highest
point on the floor. Work outward from that
point to create the merchandiser lineup. Use
a 48 inch (1220mm) or longer level for end-
to-end leveling. The rear edge of the top foam
panel of the merchandiser is a good location
for the level at the rear of the case, and the top
rail is a good location for the level at the front
of the merchandiser. For leveling the merchan-
diser front-to-rear, a 24 inch (610 mm) level
should be placed on the lower flange of the
merchandiser end frame. If the merchandiser
has a factory installed end, the level should be
placed on the canopy support brackets on top
of the merchandiser. Suggested level locations
are shown in the illustrations on the following
page.
Tipping Hazard
Case tipping may occur if cases are not properly
leveled and secured, or if cases are not properly
loaded.
