PLACING AND INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT
ENVIRONMEN AL CONDI IONS
T HIS NIT CANNOT BE INSTALLED IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH EXPLOSIVE GASES . T HE EQ IPMENT IS
DESIGNED ONLY FOR INDOOR OPERATION .
he unit must be located in an indoor environment where the ambient is
maintained less than 90
o
F/65%RH.
For the correct performance of the refrigerating system, it is very
important to leave at least 10 cm (4") o ree space both at the sides and
back to allow proper air circulation.
he location of the cooler must be kept away rom sources o heat and
humidity including direct sunlight, toasters, ovens, coffee warmers, other
appliances condenser air discharge, infrared heaters, or other heat
generating appliances. Keep the unit away from external doors.
he unit should be leveled prior to operation.
he unit must have casters, 6” legs, or sealed to the floor per NSF guidelines.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
he power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) NEMA 5-15R type wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
he use of extension cords is not permitted and will void the warranty.

Before connecting your equipment, check that the electrical data on the data plate match your electrical
output.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: P L G THE EQ IPMENT INDEPENDENTLY TO A LOAD CENTER WITH AN
APPROPRIATE CIRC IT BREAKER ACCORDING TO THE NAMEPLATE AMPS .
POSITIONING SHELVES
he shelves and holders have been fixed to the inside floor of
the unit to prevent their loss during transportation.
Insert the shelf clips in the pilaster notches making sure they are
at the same level such that the shelves remain horizontal.
IMPOR AN : he products on each shelf must leave three to
five centimeters of free clearance between them and the next
shelf in order to allow proper air circulation.

PRODUCT LOADING
he BGR series of units are not intended to be a pull down refrigerator and as such the product must be
loaded at their intended merchandising temperature.
Before loading products, allow the equipment to operate empty for at least two
hours.
When loading products:
- Do not block the lower ventilation grille with the packages about to be loaded.
- Do not over hang the shelf.
- Do not press the product against the rear wall
- Never exceed the shelf weight limits
UNIT OPERATION AND COMPONENTS
ELECTRONIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
he unit is provided with an electronic temperature control that controls the operation of the unit based
on the temperature of the air discharging from the evaporator at the back of the unit.
In order to achieve the desired product temperature, the electronic control is factory adjusted to hold
product at 35º – 38ºF.
When you plug the unit in, the control display will
illuminate. However, there is a start-up delay of 2
minutes before the compressor(s) are energized. his
delay avoids the possibility that during a power failure
the compressors are forced to restart before the
refrigerant pressures are equalized.
he control has been factory-adjusted with a defrosting
cycle that is scheduled to ensure that the evaporator
performs without any ice build-up.
None of the factory-programmed electronic control parameters can be modified unless an access code is
entered (contact Master-Bilt technical service for this code).

COMPRESSORS:
he BGR unit has a single hermetic compressor.
CONDENSERS:
he BGR series of units incorporate a "maintenance free" condenser design in the refrigeration system
which reduces the need for the regular cleaning process that fin and tube condensers require. Besides the
savings in preventive maintenance costs, energy expenses will be stable throughout long periods of time
since the condensers will remain "clean and unobstructed".
EVAPORATOR:
In the event it is believed that the unit has had a “freeze up” condition due to operation of the unit in
high temperature or humidity conditions the evaporator can be thawed by emptying the cabinet of
product and removing power until the coil is clear.
CONDENSATION EVAPORATOR TRAY:
When the equipment operates, condensed water from the environment is collected on the evaporator.
During each off-cycle, the water drains to the evaporator tray located at the bottom of the unit where it is
evaporated using the heat from the refrigeration system.
SLIDING CONDENSING UNIT:
he condensing unit can be pulled out, sliding it approximately 40 cm (16") to allow servicing the
condenser motor(s), compressor(s) and electrical components. In order to service the condensing unit,
remove the two screws that hold the lower front grill (one at each side). Remove the screws that hold the
front bracket that clasps the condensing unit and slide it gently out to have access to the components you
want to check.
Once completed, every component must be returned to its original location for proper operation.
LIGHTING:
he lamp can be turned off with the switch located at the left side of the upper section, near the lamp.

PROHIBITIONS AND OTHER USES FOR THE EQUIPMENT
he equipment has been designed to maintain the proper temperature of packaged products. Because
the unit is not designed to cool the product down quickly, the product must be loaded at its appropriate
temperature.
CA TION

- Do not allow the electronic control to be adjusted by customers or
unqualified personnel. For any adjustment you must contact your
distributor.
- Verify that the hot air stream from the condenser towards the back of
the unit is not directed to other refrigeration units, which would
compromise their operation.
- Under no circumstance should you block the front grille of the unit.
HE MANUFAC URER DOES NO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILI Y ARISING FROM
DAMAGES CAUSED BY IMPROPER, INCORREC , OR ERRONEOUS USE.

external and internal surface, and dry them with a clean soft cloth
Never use flammable or abrasive products. he unit must never be cleaned
with water jets.
IMPORTANT: During maintenance and cleaning operations, make sure
that good visibility conditions exist in the working area, using other light
sources in case it is needed. Be very careful when working with moving
and/or high-temperature parts.
CLEANING THE CONDENSER COIL
IMPOR AN WARRAN Y INFORMA ION:
Condensers accumulate dirt and require regular cleaning. Dirty condensers result in
compressor failure, product loss, and lost sales; which are not covered by warranty
If you keep the condenser(s) clean you will minimize your service expense and lower your electrical
costs. he following is a step-by-step guideline for the cleaning of the condenser(s):
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. ake off front lower grill assembly by removing the two (2) screws in the top corners.
3. Clean off accumulated dirt from the condenser coil(s) using a vacuum and/or a damp rag.
4. Replace the grill assembly.
5. Connect power to the unit and verify that when required the condensing unit(s) are running.
If you cannot remove the dirt adequately, please call your refrigeration service company.
