Installation - Kool-It IB27R Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

INSTALLATION

Location
Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor
strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded unit can weigh as much
as 1500 pounds. Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the most efficient
refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.
Inside Cabinet
Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of the
unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this
air flow can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the
evaporator drain pan. The shelves have a rear turn up on them to prevent this. However, bags and other
items can still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. Air is brought into the evaporator coil with
Prevent any obstruction from blocking the outlet or inlet of air flow.
Outside Cabinet
Be sure that the unit has adequate air circulation around it. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and
ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2" from any wall with at least 12" of clear space above
the unit.
Leveling
Levelling the cabinet is necessary so that the doors will line up with the frames properly. Use a level to
make sure the unit is level from front to back and side to side. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located
is level.
Stabilizing
All models are supplied with casters for your convenience. It is very important, however, that the cabinet
be installed in a stable condition with the front wheels locked while in use.
Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for any reason, allow at least 24 hours
before start-up to allow compressor oil to flow back to the compressor sump. Failure to meet this
requirement may cause compressor failure and unit damage.
Warranty Repairs will be declined if problems are caused by improper installation.
NOTE
Electrical Connection
Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your local code or the National Electrical Code to be
sure the unit is connected to the proper power source. Each unit must be plugged into a dedicated electric
circuit. Do not use an extension cord. An external electrical surge protector may be required. (not included)
The unit must be turned OFF and disconnected from the power source whenever
performing service, maintenance functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
