OPERATION

General

All HC24 models are equipped with a state-of-the-art refrigeration
system and are frost-free. The evaporator coil automatically defrosts
on demand at predetermined intervals.

Interior Light

The unit is equipped with an interior light that illuminates when
the door is open. The cabinet also comes standard with a manual
light switch located next to the light for displaying your products
through a glass door.
Always ensure that the manual switch is in the off position before
closing a solid wood or stainless door. If manual light switch is
left on for an extended period of time it may increase the cabinet
temperature, especially at the top and cause the refrigeration
system to run longer.
LOADING PRODUCT
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before storing perishables, allow unit to run
for a minimum of 24 hours to allow temperature stabilization after
start-up.
When loading items into the unit, do not block internal louvers and
fan guard openings or performance will be decreased.

CHECKING PRODUCT TEMPERATURE
To accurately check the temperature of product stored in the
refrigerated compartment insert an accurate thermometer into a
plastic (non-breakable) bottle, partially filled with water. Tighten
the bottle cap securely.
Place the bottle in the desired area for 24 hours. Refrain from
opening the unit during testing period. After 24 hours, check the
temperature of the water. Adjust the control settings if necessary.
Your Perlick unit is pre-set in order to achieve the recommended
temperature range when installed in a 70°F ambient room
temperature. Factors which affect the internal temperatures of the
refrigerated cabinet include:
• Temperature setting
• Room temperature where installed
• Number of times the door is opened and closed
• Length of times the door is left open
• Style of door installed
• Door gasket sealing and condition
• Amount of time the internal light is illuminated
• Installaion in direct sunlight or near a heat source

LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

To replace a defective or burnt out light bulb, unscrew the bulb
counterclockwise and replace with an identical 15-watt bulb or
smaller (Perlick replacement bulb number 67026).
