Proper installation is the first step to operation. We recommend that your refrigerator or freezer be installed by
an authorized Victory Certified Installer.

Receiving Shipment

All units are performance tested and thoroughly inspected prior to shipment. Upon leaving the factory, all units are in
perfect condition. Upon receipt, examine the exterior of the shipment packaging for any signs of rough handling. If the
cabinet is damaged, it should be noted on the delivery slip or bill of lading and signed. A claim must be filed immediately
against the carrier indicating the extent and estimated cost of damage incurred.

Uncrating

Tools Needed : 3/4” Box Wrench

Adjustable Wrench

Level

WARNING: Never lay your refrigerator or freezer down on either its back, front or sides. This allows compressor oil into
the refrigerant lines which can damage the compressor at start-up. If the unit is laid down, it must be set upright for a
minimum of 12 hours before starting the compressor. Failure to adhere to the above recommendation will void the warranty.

1. Split plastic wrap along one of the cardboard posts. Remove and discard all packaging material, tape and interior

components.

2. Move cabinet as close to final location as possible before removing skid.

3. Remove the shipping skid by tipping the cabinet forward. Remove the shipping bolts with 3/4” box wrench while

the cabinet is held in one direction. Repeat this procedure while the cabinet is held in the opposite direction.

4.

Use extreme caution when removing the wooden skid, especially when the last bolt is removed. If not properly
blocked, the skid will fall to the floor.

Locating Your New Storage Refrigerator or Freezer

Consider the following when selecting a location for your refrigerator or freezer:

1.

Clearance - There must be a minimum clearance of 10” between the top of the refrigerator or freezer and the ceiling.

2.

Floor Load - The floor on which the cabinet will rest must be free of vibration and suitably strong enough to support
the combined weights of the cabinet plus the maximum product load.

3.

Ventilation - The air cooled, self-contained refrigerator or freezer requires a sufficient amount of cool, clean air. Avoid
placing the refrigerator near heat generating equipment such as ovens, ranges, heaters, fryers, steam kettles, etc., and
out of direct sunlight. Avoid locating the self-contained refrigerator in an unheated room, or where the room
temperature may be below 55

°F.

Installing Casters or Legs

Refrigerators and freezers are shipped with 1/2” single stud mounted legs or casters.

1.

Casters / legs must be screwed by hand into the threaded holes located on the case bottom (*Note: Once the caster
cannot be turned, take a 3/4” box wrench and tighten the nut in between the mounting plate and wheel of the caster
until it is snug
).

2.

Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately eight inches and block it securely with several pieces of 2 x 4 lumber or
other suitable material.

3.

Screw in the two left or right casters / legs.

4.

Repeat this procedure to install the other casters / legs.

Leveling

Cabinets must be leveled when installed. Failure to level your cabinet may result in doors not sealing, closing properly or
condensate water not draining properly.

Casters - Cabinets with casters can be leveled by placing large flat washers in between 1/2” stud and holes located

on the case bottom.

Legs - Rotate the foot of the leg with an adjustable wrench to achieve desired height for leveling.
