Shelf Assembly Items 1) If this is a lighted shelf assembly, position shelf brace and cable as shown in the image below. If this is not a lighted shelf assembly, skip this step and proceed to the next step. 2) With shelf top turned upside down, position shelf brace midway inside shelf top and position the shelf brace so the electrical outlet hole is to the left side of the shelf top.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET HOLE 3) Position a shelf bracket with its sides flush with the inside of shelf top and angled as shown in the image below. To fully secure the shelf bracket, the installer needs to pry the angle of the shelf top ,indicated by arrow in the image, so the bracket will snap under shelf top while also manuevering the shelf brace so it fits in the notch of the shelf bracket as the shelf bracket is being lowered into the shelf top.

4) If this is the shelf lighting assembly ,mount lighting assembly in desired location on shelf using magnetic brackets and pull cable as needed to decrease slack in cable. 5) The shelves can be positioned to stock products horizontally or at an angle. To position the shelves horizontally, use the notches indicated on the shelf bracket at the desired level using the spaces available on the pilasters.

6) To position the shelves at a slight angle, use the notches indicated on the shelf bracket at the desired level using the spaces available on the pilasters. Make sure the corresponding pilaster slots are used on both sides to make sure shelves are level. Use the inside notches on shelf bracket to position shelf assemblies at an angle 7) If this is a lighted shelf assembly, plug cable into the nearest outlet located on back panel.
PLUMBING Each OAM case has an optional electric, heated condensate pan and a looped drain hose connecting the drain to the outside of the case. It is very important that this loop not be removed as it will result in diminished peformance of the case without it.
ELECTRICAL WARNING Before servicing electrical components in the case make sure all power to case is off. Always use a qualified technician. STARTING PROCEDURE Start compressor and allow the case to pull down to 42 degrees or below before placing product into the OAM. Check that the compressor cycles off and back on at least once.
LOADING Product should be at or below operating temperature before being placed in cabinet. Stock cases as quickly as possible, exposing only small quantities to store temperatures for short periods of time. It is important to keep stock rotated properly so that older stock does not accumulate. A “First-In, First-Out” rotation practice will keep the products in good salable condition.
ELECTRONIC REFRIGERATION CONTROL Display Lay-out Compressor When power is first turned on to the control, the LED indicator under COMP on the display starts blinking. After one-minute delay the compressor comes on. The LED indicator stays on while compressor relay is energized.
