Stocking
Improper temperature and lighting will cause serious
product loss. Discoloration, dehydration and spoilage
can be controlled with proper use of the equipment
and handling of product. Product temperature should
always be maintained at a constant and proper
temperature. This means that from the time the product
is received, through storage, preparation and display, the
temperature of the product must be controlled to
maximize life of the product. Hussmann cases were not
designed to "heat up" or "cool down" product - but rather
to maintain an item's proper temperature for maximum
shelf life. To achieve the protection required always:
1. Minimize processing time to avoid damaging
temperature rise to the product. Product should be
at proper temperature.
2. Keep the air in and around the case area free
of foreign gasses and fumes or food will rapidly
deteriorate.
3. Maintain the display merchandisers temperature
controls as outlined in the refrigerator section of this
manual.
4. Do not place any product into these refrigerators
until all controls have been adjusted and they
are operating at the proper temperature. Allow
merchandiser to operate a minimum of one (1) hour
before stocking with any product.
5. When stocking, never allow the product to extend
beyond the recommended load limit. Air discharge
and return air fl ue must be unobstructed at all times
to provide proper refrigeration.
6. Avoid the use of supplemental fl ood or spot lighting.
Display light intensity has been designed for
maximum visibility and product life at the factory.
The use of higher output fl uorescent lamps (H.O.
and V.H.O.), will shorten the shelf life of the product.
Case Cleaning
Long life and satisfactory performance of any equipment
are dependent upon the care given to it. To insure long
life, proper sanitation and minimum maintenance costs,
the refrigerator should be thoroughly cleaned frequently.
SHUT OFF FAN DURING CLEANING PROCESS. It can
be unplugged within the case, or shut off entire case at
the source. The interior bottom may be cleaned with any
domestic soap or detergent based cleaners. Sanitizing
solutions will not harm the interior bottom, however,
these solutions should always be used according to the
Hussmann's directions. It is essential to establish and
regulate cleaning procedures. This will minimize bacteria
causing discoloration which leads to degraded product
appearance and significantly shortening product shelf
life.
Soap and hot water are not enough to kill this bacteria. A

11. User Information

sanitizing solution must be included with each cleaning
process to eliminate this bacteria.
Cleaning Glass and Mirrors
Only use a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner for cleaning
any glass or mirrored components. Be sure to rinse and/
or dry completely.
Never use hot water on cold glass surfaces! It may
shatter and cause serious injury! Allow glass surfaces
to warm first.
Non-Glare Glass
The high optical clarity of this glass is possible due to
special coatings on the glass surface itself. To preserve
this coating and the optical clarity, keep the glass clean.
Water is the only solution recommended for use in
cleaning non-glare glass. The damage to the glass from
improper, caustic solutions is irreparable.
In addition to cleaning the glass with the recommended
product, there are precautions that should be taken
when working and cleaning the inside of the case.
Plexiglass and Acrylic Care
Improper cleaning not only accelerates the cleaning
cycle but also degrades the quality of this surface.
Normal daily buffing motions can generated static cling
attracting dust to the surface. Incorrect cleaning agents
or cleaning cloths can cause micro scratching of the
surface, causing the plastic to haze over time.
Cleaning
Hussmann recommends using a clean damp chamois, or a
paper towel marked as "dust and abrasive free" with 210
Plastic Cleaner and Polish available by calling Sumner
Labs at 1-800-542-8656. Hard, rough cloths or paper
towels will scratch the acrylic and should not be used.
Antistatic Coatings
The 210
cleaning and polishing the Plexiglass surface, but also
providing antistatic and anti-fog capabilities. This product
also seals pores and provides a protective coating.

1. Scrub thoroughly, cleaning all surfaces, with soap
and hot water.
2. Rinse with hot water, but do not flood.
3. Apply the sanitizing solution according to
Hussmann's directions.
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Dry completely before resuming operation.
When cleaning the inside of the cases, we
recommend that the glass be fully opened and
covered to prevent solutions from splashing onto the
glass and ruining the coating on the inside.
