RECEIVING YOUR NEW MODEL Congratulations on your recent purchase of continental refrigerator superior food equipment products! When your shipment arrives, please thoroughly examine the shipping crate for any punctures, dents, or signs of rough handling. It is in your best interest to partially remove or open the shipping container in order to examine the model for any concealed damages which may have occurred during shipment. If the model is damaged, it must be noted on the delivering carrier's

Important Note: To assure sufficient air supply and circulation to the condensing unit, a minimum clearance of 12" above the grill and 3" on each side and back of the cabinet must be provided (see figure 1). If necessary, special venting or air supply ducts must be installed by the installer for this purpose. Do not at any time obstruct the grill area in front of the cabinet in any way, and never place or store anything on top of the cabinet machine compartment. These rules are essential for ma

Your roll-in model comes with one cart ramp per door opening. To install the ramp(s), simply open the cabinet door and position the ramp slots onto the screws located along the cabinet bottom front. If the door wiper rubs along the ramp to the extreme where the door will not self-close, you will need to adjust the door (see “door adjust- ment” section) or level the cabinet as explained above. Important Note: It is extremely important that your new reach-in or roll-in model is perfectly level for

INSTALLING CONDENSATE EVAPORATOR No floor drains or plumbing connections are required since all models use an automatic condensate water evaporating system. All designer line models utilize a unique hot gas condensate water evaporating system which is completely self- contained and no further assembly or maintenance is required (these models are recognized by their evaporator coil which is located out of the food zone in an insulated plug-box housing next to the condensing unit). All value l

REMOVAL OF DOORS AND DOOR ADJUSTMENT During installation, it may become necessary to remove the cabinet doors to facilitate passage through narrow doorways or hallways. To remove a door, pry off all hinge covers using a sharp tool or knife (see figure 5). Swing the door to the open-door position (90°) and carefully lift the door upward, removing the door from the hinge bodies. If it is necessary to remove the hinge bodies from the cabinet face, be extremely careful not to lose the light swi

REMOVAL OF GRILL To remove the grill, loosen all four (4) grill mounting screws located on the backside of the grill one or two turns. Simply lift grill up off of its mounting screws and out. To replace the grill, line up the grill mounting screws with the keyhole slots located on the cabinet body, push in on the grill and down. Important note: If the model is provided with a digital or dial thermometer, the front grill cannot be completely removed from the cabinet without first removing the

START-UP PROCEDURE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS To insure proper operation, your new model must be connected to an individual circuit that can supply the full voltage as stated on the cabinet serial data plate. For correct voltage, power draw, and wire accommodations, check the data on the serial data plate located on the inner right wall of your new model. Verify that this information exactly matches the electrical characteristics at the installation location. An electrical wiring diagram, located on

START-UP CHECKLIST After your model has been installed, leveled, cleaned, and electrically connected in accordance with this manual, please take the time before start-up to observe the following precautions to assure trouble free operation: 1. Check that all exposed refrigeration lines are free of severe dents or kinks. 2. Check the condenser fan and evaporator fans for freedom to rotate without any obstructions 3. Make sure that the cabinet is properly leveled (see “leveling” under installa

OPERATION All cabinets must be given sufficient time to reach normal operating temperature before placing any food inside. Refrigerators are designed to maintain an ideal cabinet temperature of 38°F to 40°F (3.3°C to 4.4°C) and approximately 2 hours of operation are required to reach this temperature. Standard freezers are designed to maintain an ideal cabinet temperature of -2°F to 0°F (-18.9°C to -17.8°C) and approximately 4 hours of operation are required to reach this temperature. Low te

Once calibration is complete return to normal temperature mode by pressing once again on the mylar display towards the right center. Now, recheck the calibration. Example: the digital display reads 45°F and the internal thermometer reads 40°F so, the digital display must be decreased by 5°. Press the right center of the display twice and the number -1 is displayed (this is the point of origin and could have be

REFRIGERATOR SYSTEM AND ADJUSTMENT All self-contained value line and designer line refrigerators are designed and factory set to maintain an average cabinet temperature of 38°F. The temperature control is accessible from the top of the electrical console box located on the cabinet top behind the front grill (see figure 6). If an adjustment is necessary to maintain the above temperature range only, place a screwdriver into the thermostat slot and turn clockwise for a colder cabinet temperature

FREEZER SYSTEM AND ADJUSTMENT All self-contained value line and designer line standard freezers and low-temperature freezers are designed and factory set to maintain an average cabinet temperature of 0° F and -15°F respectively. All freezers are designed for the purpose of holding pre-frozen food and although they are capable of freezing small quantities of fresh food, they are not to be used as fast or blast freezers. Do not attempt to freeze bulk quantities of fresh foods. The temperature co

FIGURE 8 DEFROST TIMER SETTING WARMER SYSTEM AND ADJUSTMENT All designer line warming cabinets are designed with an operating range of 90°F to 180°F and factory performance run tested to maintain an average cabinet temperature of 150°F. Always preheat your new warming cabinet to the desired temperature before placing any food into it. To operate, turn the thermostat knob located on the upper grill panel, from the “off” position to the desired cabinet temperature. When the desired temperatur

EVAPORATOR ASSEMBLY All value line and designer line refrigerators and freezers have an easily accessible, easily serviceable, performance rated, forced-air evaporator assembly which utilizes a plasticized fin coil for extended life. There are two different types of evaporator assembly systems used throughout the value line and designer line models as shown in figures 9 and 10: LOW-PROFILE,CEILING-MOUNT EVAPORATOR ASSEMBLY The low-profile evaporator system is comprised of a generous sized, eve

PLUG-TYPE,TOP-MOUNT EVAPORATOR ASSEMBLY The plug-type evaporator system is a unique system in which the evaporator coil and air circulating fans are contained within a concealed plug-type insulated housing, readily accessible on the top of the cabinet and separate from the food storage zone. The entire plug system is fully charged with refrigerant and mounted on a steel rail type base which can be easily removed from the cabinet if a field conversion (refrigerator to freezer or vice versa) is
