INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Setup location
Keep proper distance between the equipment and surrounding objects. To ensure the smooth flow of air around the
locker, when the machine is installed into a cabinet space, leave enough space on both sides, top and the back to the
wall. Keep at least 3 - 5 inches (8 - 13cm) away from the back wall. If the gap between the product and surrounding area
is too small, the side operation efficiency may be affected and the power consumption will increase.
2. Install in a dry, well ventilated location
Do not set up the locker in a wet or extremely damp environment, to prevent metal parts from rusting or causing
increased electricity usage.
3. Avoid heat or direct sunlight
If the environment temperature is too high, the refrigerant and humidity levels may fluctuate and cause the power
consumption to increase. Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and may increase electrical power consumption.
4. Place the SL on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded
If the floor is uneven, use adjustable legs to keep the product be stable. It is not recommended to place the locker on
carpet or unsealed wood. If placed on carpet, it’s recommended to place a board below the locker to avoid heat or
water creating mold. Unstable installation can cause vibration, noise or door to misaligned.
5. Adjust the front of the device to be slightly higher than the rear
Check the locker for firmness to the floor, then re-adjust the front leveling feet brackets so that the front part of device
is slightly (approximately ½ inch) higher than the rear. If the front two feet are too low, the door may not close tightly
and may cause frost on the back wall.
6. Ground connection
The cord must be grounded to avoid electric shock. Connect socket to a grounded wire. If the socket has been
connected to the ground wire correctly, then, no need to connect another grounded wire.
7. Unable to connect ground position
If the location of the outlet cannot be connected via the grounded wire, connect the equipment to a surge protector
switch (the rated current can be checked on the rating label), then, connect the locker to the socket. Please Note:
Nonconductive plastic tubing cannot be used to connect ground wires. DO not connect ground wire to gas pipe, water
pipe, lightning arresters or telephone lines.
8. Electrical
It is essential that the Locker is plugged into an unencumbered 15AMP circuit and Non-GIF outlet. Do not place other
large appliances on the same circuit. Best practice is to place a Surge Protector on the outlet to the Locker.
After the equipment is installed, it should remain in place for at least 4 hours before connecting the power. This is
to avoid abnormal refrigeration pattern caused by the compressor oil that does not flow back into the compressor
during shipment.
After at least 4 hours, plug the locker into the wall outlet or surge protector, then allow the locker to run for at
least 5 hours prior to the first use of dry aging or charcuterie.

9. Handle Bar Installation; SL100 Studio, SL150 Home, SL520 Pro
All lockers include the Handle Bar and two supplied screws. To install, slide the rubber gasket on the inside of the door
to view the predrilled holes, then use a Phillip head screw driver to set into place.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
This chapter provides you with important information in regards to cleaning and maintaining the locker. These
practices are to prevent damages due to cleaning the locker incorrectly and to ensure a trouble-free operation.
►Before cleaning, switch the locker off, un-plug from the wall outlet and remove all the meat.
►Interior space: Wash the inside with a damp cloth in lukewarm water and a bit of mild detergent. Do not spill any
liquid into fan space or air ways.
►Door gasket: The door gasket can be removed to clean with a mild detergent. After cleaning, to replace the door
gasket, fix the four corners first then embed it segment by segment.
►Do not use boiled water, detergent, acid alkaline detergent, soap, grinding powder, gasoline, alkenes, alcohol,
benzene, organic solvent to scrub. A light amount of dish soap works best.
►Do not flush the cabinet with water directly as it may cause electrical failure.
►After cleaning, check for damage to the power cord and outlet. If there is any damage to the cord, like fraying of the
wires, the locker must be repaired by professional electrician.
►If you do not use the equipment for a fairly long period of time, you should remove all the metal shelves, the metal
suspension system and the meat hooks and you should clean the equipment thoroughly, then leave the door open for
2~3 days. After the interior is fully dried, the activated carbon can be replaced to avoid mold and odor.
►The UV light is a consumable and may burn out within approximately 6-8 months.
