INSPECTION
When the equipment is received, all items should be carefully checked against the Bill 
of Lading to ensure all crates and cartons have been received. Do not sign the freight 
bill clear until the freight has been properly inspected for damage. All units should be 
inspected for damage including concealed damage by uncrating immediately. If any 
damage is found, it should be reported to the carrier at once, noted on the Bill of Lading 
and a claim should be filed with the carrier. This equipment has been inspected and 
tested in the manufacturing facility and has been crated in accordance with 
transportation rules and guidelines. The manufacturer is not responsible for freight loss 
or damages. 
 
INSTALLATION
The unit has been secured to the shipping base with four bolts. Remove these bolts 
and separate the unit from the shipping base. Locate the casters or legs found inside 
the unit. Attach the casters or legs to the unit base by screwing them into the threaded 
fittings that were used to secure the shipping base. Use the wrench provided to tighten 
the casters to the unit. The casters with the brakes should be installed on the front of 
the unit. For proper drainage of condensate, the unit should be level when placed in its 
permanent location. Leveling shims are included in the accessories package in the 
cabinet. Loosen the casters and insert shims between caster and bottom of the unit. 
Re-tighten the caster. 
 
The exterior of the cabinet and doors have been protected by a plastic covering. Peel 
this protective covering before installation. After removing the covering, clean the 
interior and exterior surfaces of the unit with soap and water and a rinse with clean 
water. Do not use chlorinated cleaners on the surfaces as they can cause corrosion. 
 
If the door(s) have come out of alignment during shipping, they will need to be adjusted. 
This can be accomplished by opening the door(s) and loosening the screws that hold 
both the top and bottom hinges to the cabinet. After adjusting the door so it is aligned 
correct, tighten the screws to securely hold the hinges and door(s) in place. The door on 
a single door unit can be reversed in the field by installing Hinge Kit (part number 
146524, available from your parts dealer). 
 
The shelves and self clips are packaged inside the unit. Install the shelf clips on the 
pilasters inside the unit and set the shelves on the clips. The shelves are adjustable in 
½” increments. 
 
The refrigeration system located at the bottom of the unit requires free air access for 
proper operation. Allow a minimum of seven inches between the back of the cabinet 
and the wall. Do not locate the unit next to heat generating equipment or in direct 
sunlight.
