INTRODUCTION
Thank y u f r purchasing Master-Bilt Ice Merchandiser IM-23-HGP. This manual c ntains imp rtant instructi ns f r
installing, using, cleaning, and servicing ind r Ice Merchandiser. A parts list is included with this manual. Read all
d cuments carefully bef re installing r servicing y ur equipment.
STORE CONDITIONS
The Ice Merchandisers are designed t perate in a c ntr lled envir nment. The temperature sh uld be at 75°F r
bel w f r an ind r ice merchandiser, with relative humidity f 55% r less. At higher temperature r humidity
c nditi ns, the perf rmance f these merchandisers may be affected and the capacity diminished.
The Ice Merchandiser sh uld n t be p siti ned where it is directly exp sed t rays f the sun r near a direct s urce f
radiant heat r airfl w. This will adversely affect the ice merchandiser and will result in p r perf rmance.
If this ice merchandiser is t be l cated against a wall, there sh uld be at least 6” space between the wall and the back
f the unit. This space will all w f r the circulati n f air behind the ice merchandiser, which will prevent c ndensati n
n the exteri r surfaces.
WARNING LABELS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your ice merchandiser or in
this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury or damage to your equipment. Be sure you
understand all safety messages and always follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.
NOTICE TO EMPLOYERS
You must make sure that everyone who installs, uses or services your cabinet is thoroughly familiar with all
safety information and procedures.
Imp rtant safety inf rmati n is presented in this secti n and thr ugh ut the manual. The f ll wing signal w rds are
used in the warnings and safety messages:
DANGER: Severe injury r death will ccur if y u ign re the message.
WARNING: Severe injury r death can ccur if y u ign re the message.
CAUTION: Min r injury r damage t y ur cabinet can ccur if y u ign re the message.
NOTICE: This is imp rtant installati n, perati n r service inf rmati n. If y u ign re the message, y u may
damage y ur cabinet.
The warning and safety labels shown throughout this manual are placed on your Master-Bilt Products cabinet
at the factory. Follow all warning label instructions. If any warning or safety labels become lost or damaged,
call your customer service department at ( 00)6 4- 9 for replacements
CAUTION!
GROUND REQUIRED
FOR SAFE OPERATION
This label is attached on the cabinet
back and in the machine compartment.
This label is located on the power cord.

NOTICE
Read this manual before installing, cleaning, or performing any maintenance on your cabinet. Keep the
manual and refer to it before doing any service on the equipment. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury or damage to the cabinet.
DANGER
Improper or faulty hook-up of electrical components on the refrigeration units can result in
severe injury or death. All electrical wiring hook-ups must be done in accordance with all applicable local,
regional or national standards.
NOTICE
Installation and service of the refrigeration and electrical components of the cabinet must
be performed by a refrigeration mechanic and/or a licensed electrician.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the ice merchandiser is pr perly installed by c mpetent service pe ple.
2. Keep the ice merchandiser clean and sanitary s it will meet y ur l cal sanitati n c des. Clean the unit with a mild
detergent and water, then rinse.
3. R tate y ur st ck s that lder st ck d es n t accumulate.
4. D n t place pr duct in the ice merchandiser when it is s ft r partially thawed. Als , pr duct sh uld n t be put in
the ice merchandiser f r at least 6 h urs after it is started.
5. St ck ice merchandiser as quickly as p ssible, exp sing nly small quantities t c nditi n temperatures f r sh rt
peri ds f time.
NOTICE TO STORE OWNERS / MANAGERS
Moisture or liquid around or under the cabinet is a potential slip/fall hazard for persons walking by or working
in the general area of the cabinet. Any cabinet malfunction or housekeeping problem that creates a slip/fall
hazard around or under the cabinet should be corrected immediately.
If m isture r liquid is bserved ar und r under a Master-Bilt Ice Merchandiser, an immediate investigati n sh uld be
made by qualified pers nnel t determine the s urce f the m isture r liquid. The investigati n sh uld determine if the
ice merchandiser is malfuncti ning r if there is a drainpipe leaking.

MECHANICAL
Rem ve fr nt grille and check refrigerati n lines t see that they are free (n t t uching each ther r c mpress r).
Spin c ndenser fan blade t see that it is free.
The c mpress r is hermetic s it is internally spring m unted and ready t run.
ELECTRICAL
WARNING
Before servicing electrical components in the case or the doors or door frames make sure all power to case is
off. Always use a qualified technician.
Check v ltage and amps drawn n (Page 12-13) t determine pr per line and fuse r circuit breaker size. Check p wer
supply f r l w v ltage. If v ltage reads “115” with n l ad, and it dr ps bel w “100” when the c mpress r tries t start,
it is an indicati n f t small supply wiring r t l ng t run.
It is rec mmended that a separate circuit be run f r each ice merchandiser t prevent an ther appliance fr m bl wing
the fuse r breaker, causing l ss f pr duct.

CABINET CLEANING PROCEDURES
WARNING!
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect main power supplies to the merchandiser
before beginning this procedure. May have more than one disconnect switch.
The exteri r f the ice merchandiser sh uld simply be wiped clean with a damp cl th daily. This will be sufficient t
keep the unit l king its finest. Do not use a brush, scouring pad, or any abrasive material on the painted
surfaces!
T clean the interi r f the ice merchandiser, the c ndensing unit and p wer t the merchandiser fans and heaters
sh uld be shut ff. Disconnect all power before cleaning! All pr duct in the cabinet sh uld be rem ved and st red
in an appr priate facility. All shelving, trays, etc. sh uld be rem ved and cleaned separately.
The interi r (as well as the exteri r) f the ice merchandiser may be cleaned with a germicidal detergent at the
manufacturer’s rec mmended c ncentrati n. Do not use any ammonia-based products as this may damage the
electrical components in the unit. Again, d n t use a brush, sc uring pad, r any abrasive material n the painted
surfaces. Use a s ft brush r cleaner pad f r built-up dirt, stains, r spills. Rem ve nly the necessary mechanical
parts t access the evap rat r c il and fan h using. Care sh uld be taken n t t unnecessarily s ak fan m t rs,
electrical c nnecti ns, c ntr ls, r any wire raceway. Wipe all surfaces with a damp cl th. A sanitizer sh uld then be
th r ughly sprayed nt the surfaces and again wiped with a damp cl th.
Rem ve nly the necessary mechanical parts t access the c ndenser c il and c mpress r h using. Care sh uld
again be taken n t t unnessarily s ak fan m t rs, electrical c nnecti ns, time cl ck, ballasts, r any wire raceway.
Check the c ndenser c il t insure that it is n t cl gged with dirt, dust, r lint. A dirty r cl gged c ndenser c il will
result in diminished perf rmance f the cabinet. The c ndenser sh uld be brushed with a plastic bristled brush. F r
dust r dirt that has accumulated deep inside the c ndenser, use c mpressed air t bl w the dirt thr ugh the c il. D
n t let dust r dirt accumulate n the fan blades. If dust r dirt is n ticeable, simply wipe the fan blades with a damp
cl th as with ther surfaces. After cleaning, replace any equipment that was previ usly rem ved and start the
c ndensing unit and return p wer t the lights, fans, and heaters.
CLEA I G:
As a regular maintenance r utine, the c ndenser c il sh uld be cleaned appr x every 6 t 12 m nths,
depending n st re c nditi ns.
Keep the equipment clean and sanitary s it will meet y ur l cal sanitati n c des. Wipe up all spills, clean with water
and a mild detergent, then rinse with clean water. Wipe the exteri r and gasket area as needed.
ICE MERCHANDISER MONTHLY CHECKLIST
1. Check c ndenser c il, clean if necessary.
2. Check service valves f r leaks evident by il traces.
3. Check f r bstructi n restricting air fl w ver the evap rat r c il and the c ndenser c il.
Insure that the air intake is n t bstructed.
4. Check f r excessive n ise.
5. Check f r pr per temperature, adjust if necessary.
6. Check d r gaskets f r pr per seal against cabinet.
7. Check d rs f r self cl sing, adjust tensi n if necessary.
6. Check f r pr per perati n sequence in n rmal refrigerati n cycle and defr st cycle
