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 fans mounted
to the front of the coil.
OUTSIDE CABINET: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. 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: A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because 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. Units supplied with legs will have
adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary adjustments. If the unit is supplied
with casters, no adjustments are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to
be located is level.
STABILIING: 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
