INSTALLATION
Location
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor
strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. Afully loaded unit can weigh as much
as 1500 pounds. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the most efficient
refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet
Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of the
unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this
air flow can cause evaporator coilfreeze ups and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the evaporator
drain pan. However, bags and other items can still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. Air is brought into
the evaporator coil with fans. Prevent any obstruction from blocking the outlet or inlet of air flow.
Outside cabinet
Be sure that the unit has adequate air circulation around it. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and
ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2" from any wall
Leveling
Levelling the cabinet is necessary so that the drawers will line up with the frames properly. Use a level to make
sure the unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units supplied with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to
make the necessary adjustments. If the unit is supplied with casters, no adjustments are available. Ensure the
floor where the unit is to be located islevel.
Stabilizing
All models are supplied with casters for your convenience. It is very important, however, that the cabinet be
installed in a stable condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24 hours before
start-up to allow compressor oil to flow back to place. Failure to meet this requirement can cause compressor
failure and unit damage.
Warranty Repairs will be declined if problems are caused by improper installation.
NOTE
Electrical connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure
the unit is connected to the proper powersource. Each unit must be plugged on a dedicated electric circuit.. Do
not use an extension cord. An external electrical surge protector may berequired. (not included)
DANGER
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.

OPERATION
CAUTION
Donotthrowitemsintothestoragearea. Failuretoheedtheserecommendationscouldresultindamageto
the interior ofthe cabinet.
Refrigerated cabinets
The factory setting for the temperature range is 34° to 38° F. Chef base units should operate with pans in
place. Operating without pans and/or pan covers in place will lower the efficiency and may damage the unit
due to continuous over-use.
Continuous opening and closing of the drawers will prevent the unit’s ability to maintain optimum
refrigeration temperature.
Defrosting
Every 6 hours, the unit will turn off so the evaporator coil can defrost. The controller now displays the defrost
symbol and the compressor stops working. When the coil temperature reaches the terminal temperature or
after 20 minutes of defrost, the unit will turn backon.

MAINTENANCE
DANGER
The power switch must be turned OFF and the unit disconnected from the power source
whenever performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
The interior and exterior can be cleaned using soap and warm water.If this isn'tsufficient,try ammonia and water
or a nonabrasive liquid cleaner. When cleaning the exterior, always rub with the "grain" of the stainless steel to
avoid marring the finish. Do not use an abrasivecleaner.
Cleaning the Condenser Coil
The condenser coil requires regular cleaning. Cleaning is recommended every 90 days. In some instances, you
may find that there is a large amount of debris and dust or grease accumulated prior to the 90-day time frame.
In these cases, the condenser coil should be cleaned every 30days.
If the build up on the coil consists of only light dust and debris, the condenser coil can be cleaned with a simple
brush. Heavier dust build-up may require a vacuum or even compressed air to blow through the condenser coil.
Always blow air from top to bottom and never from left to right to avoid bending the tiles of the coil and cause
air blockage.
If heavy grease is present, there are de-greasing agents available for refrigeration use and specifically for the
condenser coils. The condenser coil may require cleaning with the de-greasing agent and then blown through
with compressed air.
Failure to maintain a clean condenser coil can initially cause high temperatures and excessive run times.
Continuous operation with dirty or clogged condenser coils can result in compressor failures. Neglecting the
condenser coil cleaning procedures will void any warranties associated with the compressor or cost to replace
the compressor.
DANGER
Never use a high pressure water wash for this cleaning procedure as water can damage the
electrical components located near or at the condenser coil.
In order to maintainproperrefrigeration performance,the condenser finsmust be cleanedof dust,dirt andgrease
regularly. It is recommended that this be done at least every three months. If conditions are such that the
condenser is totallyblocked in threemonths,thefrequencyofcleaning should be increased.Cleanthecondenser
with a vacuum cleaner or stiff brush. If extremely dirty, a commercial-grade condenser cleaner may be required.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
Toprevent discoloration of rust on stainless steel, several important steps need to be taken. First, we need to
understand the properties of stainless steel. Stainless steel contains 70-80% iron which will rust. It also contains
12-30% chromium which forms an invisible passive film over the steels surface which acts as a shield against
corrosion.As longastheprotectivelayer is intact,the metalis stillstainless. If thefilm is brokenor contaminated,
outside elements can begin to breakdown the steel and begin to form rust of discoloration. Proper cleaning of
stainless steel requires soft cloths or plastic scouring pads,
NEVER USE STEEL PADS, WIRE BRUSHES OR SCRAPERS!
DANGER

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning solutions need to be alkaline based or non-chloride based. Any cleaner containing chlorides will
damage the protective film of the stainless steel. Chlorides are commonly found in hard water, salts, and
household and industrial cleaners. If cleaners containing chlorides are used, be sure to rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Routinecleaningof stainlesssteelcan be donewithsoapandwater.Extremestains or greaseshouldbe cleaned
with a non-abrasive cleaner and plastic scrub pad. It is always good to rub with the grain of the steel. There are
also stainless steel cleaners available which can restore and preserve the finish of the steels protective layer.
Early signs of stainless steel breakdown can consist of small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean
thoroughly and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to restore the passivity of the steel.
Never use an acid based cleaning solution！Many food products have an acidic content
which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the stainless steel surfaces of ALL food
products.
CAUTION
Gasket Maintenance
Gaskets require regular cleaning to prevent mold and mildew build up and also to keep the elasticity of the
gasket.Gasketcleaning can be donewiththe use of warm soapywater. Avoidfull strength cleaningproducts
on gaskets as this can cause them to become brittle and prevent proper sealing. Do not use sharp tools or
knives to scrape or clean the gasket which could possibly tear the gasket and rip thebellows.
Gaskets can easilybe replacedand don’t require the use of tools or authorized service technicians. Thegaskets
are "Dart" style and can be pulled out of the grove in the door and replaced by pressing the new one back into
place.
Doors/Hinges
Over time and with heavy use, door hinges may become loose. If the door is beginning to sag, tighten the
screws that mount the hinge brackets to the frame of the unit. If the doors are loose or sagging this can
cause the hinge to pull out of the frame which may damage to both the doors and the door hinges.
Drain Maintenance
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the condensation from the evaporator coil
and evaporates it into an external condensate evaporator pan. The drain can become loose or
disconnected from moving or bumping. If you notice excessive water accumulation on the inside of the unit,
be sure the drain tube is connected from the evaporator housing to the condensate evaporator drain pan. If
water starts to collect underneath the unit, you may want to check the condensate evaporator drain tube to
be sure it is still located inside the drain pan. The leveling of the unit is important as the units are
designed to drain properly when on a level surface. If your floor is not level, this can also cause drain
problems. Be sure all drain lines are free of obstructions because this may cause water to back up and
overflow the drain pans.
