Installing Splashguard
After merchandisers have been leveled and joined, and
all drip piping, electrical and refrigeration work has been
completed, install the splashguards. Splashguards may
be sealed to the floor using a vinyl cove base trim. The
size of trim needed will depend on how much the floor is
out of level.
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 six (6) hours
before stocking with any product.
5. When stocking, never allow the product to extend
beyond the recommended load limit. Air discharge
and return air flow must be unobstructed at all times
to provide proper refrigeration.
6. There are vents located at the base of the front
of the glass, just above the front rail. These vents
supply a continuous, gentle flow of air across the
front glass which inhibits condensation. Do not
place any signs or other restrictive objects on the
front of the refrigerator that will block these vents.
7. Keep the service doors closed (when applicable).
Refrigeration performance will be seriously affected
if left open for a prolonged period of time.
