    RECEIVING Your unit was built, packaged, and inspected with extreme care. We shipped it to you using carriers we trust with a proven track record of careful handling, good customer service, and on time delivery. Unfortunately, regardless of all of these efforts sometimes accidents happen and occasionally those accidents result in shipping damage.
  • Page 5: Installation

    INSTALLATION UNCRATING Move your new unit as close to the final location as possible before unpacking. Remove the wooden planks or skid. This unit requires a minimum of 4 inches of air flow space in back and 3 inches on the sides and top.
  • Page 6 SHELF INSTALLATION (FOR REFRIGERATORS ONLY) Hook shelf clips onto pilaster strips (see Illustration). Position all four shelf clips equal in distance from the floor for flat shelves. Wire shelves are oriented so that cross support bars are facing down. Place shelves on shelf clips making sure all corners are seated properly. TEMPERATURE CONTROL NOTE: All of these controls are preset at the factory to provide the desired air and product temperatures inside of the units and require no further adjustment.
  • Page 7: Operation

    OPERATION After the unit is properly installed and power is applied, it will take some time before the system is cooled down to temperature and cycling normally. You should wait 8 hours on the first startup before beginning to add product to the unit. This ensures that the unit is installed and operating properly before being put into service.
