Silver King SKFB48 - Manual (Page 3)

2
The standard unit is equipped with an eight (8) foot power cord that requires a 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, 1 Phase
properly grounded electrical receptacle. The power cord comes with a 3 prong plug for grounding pur-
poses. Any attempt to cut off the grounding spike or to connect to an ungrounded adapter plug will void the
warranty, terminate the manufacturers responsibility and could result in serious injury.
The circuit must be protected with a 15 or 20 ampere fuse or breaker. The unit must be isolated on a circuit
and not plugged into an extension cord.
OPERATION
Initial Start Up:
After satisfying the installation requirements, the unit is ready to start. The unit will start when the power
cord is connected to the required power source. If the compressor does not start when the unit is initially
plugged in, check to make sure that the temperature control is not in the ‘off ‘ position. Allow the unit to run
a minimum of two hours before loading it with product. When loading the unit with product, take care not to
block the air flow at the back of the cabinet as this would affect the performance of the cabinet.
Temperature Control:
The Temperature Control is located on the back wall of the cabinet liner and is factory set to maintain an
average cabinet temperature of 35 to 40 Deg. F. on refrigerators and +3 to -3 Deg. F. on freezers. To obtain
colder temperatures turn the Temperature Control knob clockwise and visa versa. Allow the unit a minimum
of one hour to respond to a control setting adjustment.
Defrost:
Your Silver King unit is an automatic defrost unit. No additional plumbing is required. On the refrigerators
the frost buildup on the evaporator coil will clear each time the compressor shuts off and the condensate will
drain to the condensate evaporator pan where it will evaporate. On the freezer model the automatic defrost
is accomplished by a defrost heater and a timer. The unit will go into defrost at six hour intervals. Once
again the frost buildup will be cleared by the heater and the condensate will drain into the condensate
evaporator pan where it will be evaporated. In either case it is important that the unit be level so the
condensate can drain properly.
MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is minimal although these few steps are very important to continued operation
and maximizing the life of the appliance.
Cabinet Surfaces:
The cabinet interior and exterior are stainless steel. These surfaces should be cleaned periodically with a
solution of warm water and mild soap and wiped dry with a soft cloth. Should a surface become stained, do
not attempt to clean with an abrasive cleaner or scouring pad. Use a soft cleanser and rub with the grain of
the metal to avoid scratching the surface.
Condenser:
Periodically, dust on the condenser filter must be cleaned. The condenser filter is located on the right side
of the front bottom grill. To clean it simply vacuum it or brush it to clear the filter screen. This will need to be
done regularly to maintain the compressor warranty!
