PREPARING THE CABINET -FLAT TOP BOTTLE COOLERS
Refrigerant
All models covered in this user manual are
manufactured using refrigerant R290 (Propane).
R290 is a hydrocarbon. This refrigerant is
ammable and is only allowed for use in
appliances which fulll the requirements of UL
471 (To cover potential risk originated from the
use of ammable refrigerants). Consequently,
R290 is only allowed to be used in refrigerating
appliances which are designed for this
refrigerant and fulll the above-mentioned
standard.
■ R290 is heavier than air. The concentration
will always be highest at oor level.
■ The explosion limits are as follows:
- Lower Limit: 1.7% by vol. (37 g/m3)
- Upper Limit: 9.5% by vol. (177 g/m3)
- Ignition Temperature: 470 °C
Take caution when handling,
moving and using the product
to avoid damaging the refrigerant tubing or
increasing the risk of a leak.
All service work shall
be performed by factory
authorized service personnel and all
component parts shall be replaced with like
components to minimize the risk of possible
ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.
If service is necessary,
repair work must be performed by a
Perlick authorized servicer. Work done by
unqualied individuals could potentially be
dangerous and will void the warranty.
Uncrating and Inspection
Remove all crating material. Carefully inspect
cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is
discovered, le your claim immediately with the
transport company. Perlick is not responsible for
damage in transit.
Plumbing
No plumbing connections are required.
Condensate from the cooling coil automatically
evaporated through a condensate pan located in
the condensing unit section.
Electrical
The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see Electrical Specication
Plate a󰀩xed to unit) in accordance with National
and Local electrical codes.
Do not operate the equipment
without a light bulb installed. Socket is live
when equipment power is on.
Do not attempt to operate the
equipment on any other power source than
that listed on the Electrical Specication Plate.
Adjustable Partitions & Shelving
Perlick Bottle Coolers may be provided with
adjustable partitions and shelving which will
accommodate various bottle sizes.
■ Remove bottles and cans from their cases
before placing in cooler to ensure proper
air ow.
■ When loading product into cabinet, care must
be taken to avoid blocking airow into and out
of the evaporator. Maintain at least 2” of
clearance on evaporator air intake and
exhaust for proper operation.
Installing Casters or Legs (optional)
Attach casters or legs to the cabinet bottom in
holes provided. Use the supplied 1/4” - 20 hex
head self-tapping machine screws. If unit is tipped
on its back for an extended period of time, wait
24 hours after unit is uprighted to plug the unit in.
Placing the Cabinet
To assure maximum performance, fresh air must
be allowed to circulate through the machinery
compartment. It is important to allow at least
two inched of clearance at the back or left end
of the cabinet. Do not place anything in front of
the cabinet that would obstruct air ow at these
grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated
small room.

HOW TO OPERATE -FLAT TOP BOTTLE COOLERS
Removing the factory installed
back clearance spacers without providing
proper left side grill clearance for compressor
air ow will void the warranty.
Cabinet should be leveled.
For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to
seal the base of the cabinet to the oor. This can
be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone
sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown
by the gure below (gure 1).
Temperature Control
A digital temperature control is located on the front
face of the Bottle Cooler, above the condensing
unit housing. It is factory set at approximately 38°F
for standard refrigeration, 30°F for low temperature
models, and 50°F for wine temperature models.
Make adjustments as detailed below to attain the
desired temperature.
Digital Temperature Control
To display the Set point values press the key
when the ‘SET’ label is displayed. The Set point
value appears on the display. To change the Set
point value, press the and keys within 15
seconds. Press to conrm the modication.
The condenser fan motor turns o󰀨 and on with
compressor. The evaporator fan motor runs
continuously.
Cleaning the Condenser
Flammable Refrigerant.
Risk of re or explosion. Do not damage
refrigeration tubes.
■ The condenser (located behind the from
grille) should be inspected every 30 days,
and cleaned, if necessary. Failure to
keep the condenser clean will cause a loss
in condensing unit e󰀩ciency, or compressor
failure.
Cleaning the Doors
■ Doors should be periodically removed from
the cabinet and inspected for a buildup of
foreign materials, such as syrups, beer, etc.
Buildups on the underside of the doors,
along with the cabinet breaker strips on
which they ride, will cause them to bind,
and therefore, not function as designed. If
dirty, these surfaces should be cleaned with
a mild detergent and water and then coated
with an NSF certied silicone lubricating
material.
To remove doors:
■ With door closed, lift it upward by its handle
and slide forward until doors clears the
cabinet top. Use the reverse procedure to
reinstall the doors.
Cleaning the Cabinets
■ Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and
water to clean the inside and outside of the
cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Do not allow cleaning
agents or large amounts of water to go down
the drain. Use an acceptable stainless steel
polish to clean all stainless steel surfaces.
Never use steel wool or scouring pads to clean
stainless steel.
Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion
Corrosion can be prevented by following product
cautions, cleaning instructions and avoiding use
of certain chemicals or objects which will cause
stainless steel corrosion.
STAINLESS STEEL ENEMY
■ Steel wool or steel scouring pads
■ Cherry/Orange/Olive juice
■ Chlorine Bleach
■ Sharp Objects
