Preparing the Cabinet – Glass Frosters
Uncrating and Inspection
Remove all crating material before operating.
Carefully inspect cabinet for hidden damage.
If damage is discovered, file 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 is 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 Specification
Plate) and grounded in accordance with National
and Local Electrical Codes.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to operate the equip-
ment on any other power source than that listed
on the Electrical Specification Plate.
Installing Shelves (when provided)
The front and rear horizontal shelf brackets have
been factory installed for a 2 shelf kit glass froster.
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 the 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
inches of clearance at the back or left end of the
cabinet. Do not place anything in front of the
cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles.
Do not place the unit in an unventillated small
room.
CAUTION:
Removing the factory installed back clearance
spacers without providing proper left side grill
clearance for compressor air flow will void the
warranty.
Cabinet should be leveled.
For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to
seal the base of the cabinet to the floor. This
can be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone
sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown
by the figure below.

Operation Instructions – Glass Frosters
Defrost System
This system consists of a six-hour, as well as a four
hour defrost cycle. The six hour defrost cycle is
manually activated and automatically terminated,
while the four hour cycle is completely automatic.
The Six Hour Solid-State Defrost Timer
This timer shuts off the power to the condensing
unit, door frame heater, evaporator heater, and the
automatic four hour defrost timer, while it supplies
power to the evaporator fan.
To activate the six hour defrost system, depress
the defrost switch located on the front grill of the
cabinet. An amber light will illuminate and the
defrost cycle will begin. When the defrost cycle
ends, the light goes off and the cabinet resumes
normal operation. To manually cancel the defrost
cycle, momentarily turn off the electricity to the
machine.
The Four Hour Defrost Timer
This timer ensures that frost will not buildup on the
evaporator coil. Every four hours it shuts down the
condensing unit and evaporator fan and supplies
power to the defrost element clamped to the bot-
tom of the evaporator. The defrost cycle lasts for
approximately 20.
During normal operation it is recommended that
the doors are not left open to prevent excessive
frost buildup on the coil.
Temperature Control
An adjustable temperature control is located inside
the froster on the evaporator fan panel assembly.
Approximate temperature operating range: minus
15° F. minimum and plus 10° F. maximum. Make
adjustments as shown to attain the desired
temperature.
■Colder Temperatures: Turn the adjusting
screw clockwise (to the right).
■Warmer Temperatures: Turn the adjusting
screw counterclockwise (to the left).
■Temperature Control “OFF”: Turn the
adjusting screw completely counterclock-
wise to the “O” position until a click is
noted.
The condenser fan motor turns off and on with
the compressor. The evaporator fan motor runs
continuously, except during the 20 minute
period of the four-hour defrost.

Cleaning Instructions – Glass Frosters
Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion
Corrosion can be prevented by following product cautions, cleaning instructions and avoiding use of cer-
tain 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
Cleaning the Condenser:
■The condenser (located behind the front
grille) should be inspected every 30 days,
and cleaned, if necessary. Failure to keep
the condenser clean will cause a loss in
condensing unit efficiency, 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 then
coated with a silicone lubricating material.
Aerosol silicone sprays can be obtained locally
at most department or automotive stores.
To remove doors:
■With door closed, lift it upward by its handle and
slide forward until door clears the cabinet top.
Use the reverse procedure to reinstall the doors.
Cleaning the Cabinet:
■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.
