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 delivery slip or bill of

lading (see “filing a damage claim” under warranty section).

GENERAL INFORMATION AND IMPORTANT OPERATING FACTS

This manual has been compiled to aid in the installation, operation and maintenance

of your new equipment. Please take the time to read all of the material in order to

become more familiar with your equipment and its operation, and enjoy optimum

performance.

Important Note: All value and designer line freezers have an energy-saving fan

delay control to prevent the interior fans from operating until the evaporator coil

becomes chilled. Therefore, on initial start-up, the fans will not turn on immediately.

This is a normal mode of operation. Allow sufficient time for the evaporator coil

to reach its operating temperature (approximately 20 minutes).

No floor drains or plumbing connections are required since all models are completely

self-defrosting and use an automatic defrost condensate water evaporating system

(see “condensate evaporator installation” under installation and location section).

All cabinets must be given sufficient time to reach normal operating temperature

before placing any food inside. For refrigerators, approximately 2 hours of operation

are required to lower the cabinet temperature to 40°F. Freezers require approximately

4 hours of operation to lower the cabinet temperature to 0°F (see “operation” section

for further information).

Never overload top shelf with product so as to block or restrict cabinet airflow. Doing

so will result in poor performance, decrease in efficiency and possible need for service

to de-ice evaporator.

Prior to factory shipping, all models are performance run tested for a minimum of 12

hours providing a highly sophisticated temperature analysis recording exclusive to

each individual cabinet. This recording is supplied within this manual packet. A final

leak check, vibration, noise level and visual examination is made by a qualified quality

control team to assure a quality product. The carrier signs to this effect when he

accepts the product for shipping. To insure the maximum in safety and sanitation, all

models are listed under the reexamination service of underwriter's laboratories and

with the national sanitation foundation.

UNCRATING YOUR NEW MODEL

The shipping container should remain on your model as protection against dents

or scratches while transporting it to the actual set-up location. Remove the shipping

container only at the last possible moment by following these simple steps:

1. Using a pry bar, pry off and remove crate end bottom staples.

2. Pry off and remove crate front and rear bottom staples.

3. Slide crate upward and remove it, being careful not to rub against cabinet.

There are up to four (4) bolts securing the cabinet to the wooden skid. The bolts are

located at each end on the underside of the skid. In order to remove these bolts it is

advisable to tilt the cabinet backwards and place wooden blocks at each end in order

to hold it in its tilted position. Using a /4" socket or open end wrench, remove the bolts

and carefully slide the model off of the skid. After skid removal, the cabinet should

never be moved without dollies or rollers to avoid damage to the cabinet bottom or

floor.

Important Note: Do not under any circumstances lay your new model on its front

or sides. Only for a brief period, may you lay the model on its back and only then,

when its properly blocked so as not to crush the condensate drain tubing and also

to allow provision for your hands in order to set it in its upright position without

inflicting damage to the cabinet. Do not plug in and operate model for at least

three (3) hours after cabinet is set upright from being on its back as damage

could result to the compressor.

INSTALLATION AND LOCATION

CLEARANCES

Before moving the cabinet to its final point of installation, accurately measure all door-

ways or passages to assure clearance. If additional clearance is needed, cabinet doors

and grill can be easily removed (see instructions outlined in “removal of doors” and

“removal of grill” sections).

VENTILATION

The final location site of your air cooled refrigerator or freezer must be able to provide

a large quantity of cool, clean air. The refrigeration system operates most efficiently

and trouble-free with cool, dry air circulation. Avoid locations near heat and moisture

generating equipment such as stoves, ovens, cooking ranges, fryers, dish washers,

steam kettles, etc., and also direct sunlight where temperatures can be in excess of

100°F. Also, do not select a location in an unheated room or area where temperatures

may drop below 55°F. Air supply to the condensing unit is equally important. Restricting

the air supply will place an excessive heat load on the condensing unit and adversely

effect its operating efficiency.

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 maximum

cooling capacity and long life of refrigeration parts.

FIGURE 1

MINIMUM CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS

FLOOR LOADS

The floor at the final location site must be level, free of vibration and strong enough

to support the total combined weights of your new model plus the maximum product

load which might be placed into it. A fully loaded reach-in or roll-in model may reach

2,000 - 3,000 pounds. To estimate the possible product load weight, assume that

each cubic foot of storage space weighs approximately 35 pounds. Multiply 35

pounds by the amount of cubic feet in the cabinet and obtain the product load weight.

For example, a 20 cubic foot refrigerator can hold approximately 700 pounds of

product (35 x 20) and assuming the refrigerator itself weighs 300 pounds, the total

combined weight of cabinet and product is approximately 1000 pounds. Therefore,

the floor in this example must be capable of supporting up to 1000 pounds.

INSTALLING LEGS AND LEVELING REACH-IN MODELS

Your new reach-in model is supplied with adjustable type legs for leveling purposes.

Each single and two section model has four leg mounting holes on its case bottom,

and three section models have six leg mounting holes. Legs are packed in the

accessory carton from which they must be removed and installed on the cabinet

case bottom (see figure 2). In order to install the legs, carefully tip the cabinet

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 proper operation. If it is not level, the following adverse conditions

will become apparent:

1. The door(s) will not be properly aligned and consequently will not provide a

good seal. Roll-in door wiper(s) may bind.

2. Your model will run excessively due to improper door seal(s).

3. An excessive amount of ice will accumulate inside the cabinet, around the

door opening(s) and especially on the finned evaporator coil. If allowed to

continue, ice will eventually block the coil and the model will fail. This will

result in the loss of all food stored within the cabinet.

4. Defrost water will fail to drain properly and will overflow the evaporator coil

drain pan and into the cabinet of both refrigerator and freezer models.

INSTALLING CASTERS AND LEVELING REACH-IN MODELS

If you wish to install casters on your new reach-in model, follow the steps above

for “installing legs” to install the casters, making sure again that the casters are

tightened extremely well (see figure 3). If the casters are not installed tightly, the

cabinet will sway or rock with each opening or closing of the doors, possibly causing

damage to the case bottom.

To assure that your cabinet is level, caster cups must be installed under the casters

which need leveling. Caster cups are not provided with your new model but can be

purchased at most hardware or furniture stores. Do not attempt to level casters by

unscrewing them from the case bottom as this will cause damage to the cabinet

bottom and leg hole threads, voiding all warranties.

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 line models are

supplied with an electric condensate evaporator pan and mounting bracket packed

in the accessory carton. To install the condensate pan on value line models only,

remove both mounting screws located on the bottom of the cabinet back and install

the mounting bracket on the case bottom as shown in figure 4. Slide the condensate

pan onto the bracket, install the drain tube into the pan making sure it is not blocked

or kinked, and plug the ten foot power cord into the receptacle labeled “vaporizer”

located on the case top electrical box.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is extremely important to be sure that the condensate

pan is plugged into its correct receptacle labeled “vaporizer” and that the con-

densing unit is plugged into its correct receptacle labeled “condensing unit”.

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 switch pin located inside

all top hinge bodies. To reinstall the door, reverse the above procedure.

All doors have been aligned at the factory, however vibration during transportation

may cause doors to shift and realignment may be necessary. If the door(s) require

realignment, proceed as follows:

1. Pry off all hinge covers using a sharp tool or knife.

2. For each door, loosen the screws which secure the hinge bodies to the

cabinet face and slide the door into alignment. Hold the door firmly in place

and tighten all screws securely.

If the door gasket(s) do not seal properly to the cabinet face and there are gaps

between the gasket and the face on the hinge edge, proceed as follows:

1. For each door, loosen all screws which are directed into the edge of the

door and push the door towards the cabinet eliminating the gap. Hold the

door firmly in place and tighten all screws securely.

2. Replace all snap-on hinge covers.

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

thermometer bulb from inside the cabinet. However, enough capillary tubing and/or

wiring cable has been provided to allow the grill to be laid across the top of the

cabinet after it has been removed. Take care not to damage the capillary tubing

when handling the grill.

If it is necessary to remove the thermometer bulb from inside of the cabinet,

first locate the thermometer bulb cover and remove the thumbscrews securing

it in place. On value line models, the thermometer bulb cover is located on the

interior top left corner towards the front of the cabinet. On designer line models,

the thermometer bulb is located on the interior top under the air duct. Once the

cover is removed, carefully grasp the bulb and push it back through the cabinet

hole. The thermometer bulb and grill can now be removed from the cabinet. When

reinstalling the thermometer bulb, be sure to replace the permagum sealant

around the hole after inserting the bulb.

INITIAL CLEANING PROCEDURE

Prior to start-up and before placing any food inside of your new reach-in or roll-in

model, the interior of the cabinet should be thoroughly cleaned. Washing with a

mild soap and warm water solution is recommended for cleaning the aluminum

and stainless steel surfaces of your cabinet. This should be followed by cleaning

with a baking soda solution (three (3) tablespoons of baking soda to each quart of

warm water). Rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Important Note: Never use harsh detergents, cleaners, scouring powders or

chemicals when cleaning your model. Failure to dry the interior surfaces after

cleaning may result in a streaking or staining of the metal.

Complete cleaning procedures and precautions are listed in the “periodic cleaning

procedure” under the maintenance section.

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 the upper cabinet end panel next to the electrical console

box, should also be consulted during connection.

Important Note: The condensing unit supplied with all self-contained models is

designed to operate with a voltage fluctuation of + 10 % of the voltage indicated on

the cabinet serial data plate. Full voltage of the correct service, on an individual line

not affected by the operation of other electrical appliances, must be available to the

condensing unit at all times. Burnout of the compressor due to exceeding the

high or low voltage limits is easily detected and will automatically void the

factory warranty.

115 VOLT, 60 HZ, 1 PHASE CONNECTION

All 115 volt models are provided with a U.L. approved power cord and polarized plug

which is factory installed.

Warning: Any alterations to this cord and plug could cause an electrical

hazard and will void the factory warranty.

To insure proper operation, this equipment must be plugged into a NEMA 5-15R

compatible, grounded receptacle that can supply the full voltage as stated on the

serial data plate.

208-230 VOLT, 60 HZ, 1 PHASE CONNECTION

All 208-230 volt models are to be permanently connected and are provided with

four (4) field wiring leads which exit the electrical console box located in the

machine compartment behind the front grill. The cabinet circuitry is 115 volts

and the condensing unit is 208-230 volts in which the wiring includes a neutral

and a mechanical ground. This wiring should be connected to the appropriate

power source by a qualified electrician and must conform to all local electrical

codes.

SPECIAL VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS

When models are ordered from the factory with special, optional voltages, connections

should be made as required on the electrical wiring diagram provided on the upper

cabinet end panel next to the electrical console box.

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

installation and location section).

The system should run smoothly and quietly in accordance with generally accepted

commercial standards. If any unusual noises are heard, turn the unit off immediately

and check for any obstructions of the condenser or evaporator fans. Fan motors, fan

blades, or fan housings can be jarred out of position through rough handling in transit

or during installation.

Important Note: All freezer models have an energy-saving fan delay control

to prevent the interior fans from operating until the evaporator becomes chilled.

Therefore, on initial start-up, the fans will not turn immediately. This is a normal

mode of operation. Allow sufficient time for the evaporator coil to reach its

operating temperature (approximately 20 minutes).

Caution: If unit is unplugged or disconnected for any reason, allow several

minutes (5-6 minutes) before turning the unit back on to allow the system

pressures to equalize. Disregarding this procedure could cause an overload

and prevent the unit from operating.

REMOTE APPLICATIONS

All models are available for purchase as remote models in which case the condensing

unit is purchased separately and installed at the time of installation. All remote models

are equipped with an expansion valve located within the evaporator coil housing,

and both liquid and suction lines stubbed and extending out from the cabinet case

top behind the front grill. Installation of the refrigeration accessories, condensing

unit, and electrical hook-up should be performed by qualified refrigeration personnel

of a competent refrigeration company only.

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

temperature freezers are designed to maintain an ideal cabinet temperature of -

16°F to -14°F (-26.7°C to -25.6°C) and approximately 6 hours of operation are

required to reach this temperature.

THERMOMETER CALIBRATION

After your new model has been given sufficient time to pull down to the above

specified temperature range, the exterior thermometer located on the upper grill

must be checked for calibration accuracy. All thermometers are carefully calibrated

at the factory prior to shipping but may be vibrated out of calibration through rough

handling in transit, shipping vibration, or during installation.

CALIBRATION CHECK

To check calibration, an accurate, mercury thermometer (within the temperature

range of your model) must be placed inside of the cabinet on the center shelf for

at least 15 minutes without any door openings. At this time, note the temperature

on the exterior cabinet thermometer, quickly open the door and compare it to the

interior thermometers temperature. Whatever the difference (if any) is the amount

the exterior thermometer must be adjusted.

The adjustment procedure varies depending on which thermometer is equipped with

your model (see figure 5).

DIAL THERMOMETER

For a dial thermometer, carefully pry the clear plastic lens cover from the thermometer

body using a slotted screwdriver. To adjust the needle, hold the center hub stationary

using a small slotted screw driver and very carefully grasp and turn the needle to the

desired temperature using your fingers. Replace the lens cover and recheck the

calibration.

DIGITAL THERMOMETER

For a digital thermometer, note how many degrees the digital display needs to be

increased or decreased. Press twice directly on the mylar display towards the right

center using your finger. After pressing the first time, the display should read “cal”

indicating that you are in the calibration mode and after pressing the second time,

the display should read either zero or a positive number or a negative number (this

number is the point of origin for calibration). If your digital display needed to be

increased, you must advance the point of origin by that many degrees by pressing

directly on the mylar display towards the left top. If your digital display needed to be

decreased you must decrease the point of origin by

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

that many degrees by pressing directly on the mylar display towards the left bottom.

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 been

any number). Now, press the top left of the display five times to make the -1 go to

-6. Calibration is complete so press the right center of the display to return to normal

temperature mode.

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 or counterclockwise for a warmer cabinet

temperature. Further adjustments out of the factory design temperature range must

be made by a qualified refrigeration mechanic only.

Important Note: All refrigerators are designed with an automatic, “off-cycle”

defrost system which means that defrosting occurs automatically when the

compressor is not operating during an off-cycle. Do not set the thermostat too

cold where the cabinet temperature will fall below 35°F because the evaporator

will become blocked by ice since the compressor off-cycle will be considerably

shortened. This will result in loss of food stored within the cabinet and require

service to defrost the evaporator and re-adjust the thermostat.

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 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 on

standard freezers, place a screwdriver into the thermostat slot and turn clockwise

for a colder cabinet temperature or counterclockwise for a warmer cabinet

temperature. On low-temperature freezers, place a screwdriver into the right

thermostat adjustment screw (do not turn the left differential adjustment screw)

and turn clockwise for a colder cabinet temperature or counterclockwise for a

warmer cabinet temperature. Further adjustments out of the factory design

temperature range must be made by a qualified refrigeration mechanic only.

DEFROST OPERATION

All freezer models are equipped with an automatic, electric defrost system consisting

of an electric evaporator coil and drain pan heater, automatic electric defrost time

clock, defrost high limit switch, and a fan delay switch. The defrost system is time

initiated by the time clock and temperature terminated by the high limit switch. The

time clock is factory preset for three (3) defrost periods per day at eight (8) hour

intervals and a fail safe cut-off time of 32 minutes. These settings should be

adequate for most conditions, however, depending upon use and climate conditions

a fourth defrost may be required.

The defrost time clock is located in the electrical console box where a window

allows access to the timer dial. To set the time of day on the defrost time clock,

turn the knob on the center dial of timer face counterclockwise as the arrows indicate

until the correct time of day is lined up with the “time” arrow on the upper left corner

of the clock (see figure 8). It will be necessary to reset the time of day on the timer if

the freezer is turned off or has loss of power. To relocate and/or add a defrost period,

simply unscrew the defrost pins located around the outer dial and screw them into the

desired time slots (an additional pin is located in a storage slot on the right side of the

dial).

Important Note: All freezers have a unique, energy-saving defrost cycle. It is

time initiated, temperature terminated, with an automatic, auxiliary time cut-off safety

to minimize electrical consumption and provide for the shortest possible heating cycle.

This safety time cut-off is factory set at 32 minutes and should not require any further

adjustment. After defrost, the fan delay control prevents the evaporator fans from

operating until the evaporator coil has reached a temperature of 32°F (approximately

20 minutes) thus, minimizing warm air circulation inside the cabinet. Therefore, during

initial start-up, and after each defrost cycle, the fans will not turn on immediately.

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 temperature is reached and displayed on the

exterior thermometer, preheating is complete and the cabinet is ready to be

loaded. Please note that setting the thermostat higher than the desired

temperature will not provide quicker preheat warm-ups.

Warming cabinets are not designed to cook food. All foods placed in the warming

cabinet should be precooked and at, or above the desired holding temperature.

Never place cold or uncooked foods in the cabinet. It is recommended that hot

foods be kept above 140°F to retard bacterial growth. Foods that are steaming

should always be covered.

Important Note: Although the warming cabinet operating range is 90°F to 180°F,

the thermostat control knob can be adjusted up to 200°F. Never allow the cabinet

temperature to exceed 200°F since serious damage could result to your warming

cabinet and the warranty will become null and void.

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, evenly

matched evaporator and air circulating fans contained within an easily accessible,

low silhouette, interior ceiling mounted housing.

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 desired. Before attempting to remove plug

assembly, consult factory.

MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC CLEANING PROCEDURE

It is best to clean your refrigerator or freezer when the product load is at its lowest

level inside your cabinet. To clean the interior or exterior cabinet surfaces, the following

procedure should be followed:

1. Disconnect your model from its power supply and remove all food product

from inside.

2. Open all doors and allow the cabinet to reach room temperature. Remove

all accessories (shelves, racks, pilasters, clips, etc.) From within the

model, wash with a baking soda and warm water solution, and rinse

thoroughly with clear water. Dry all of the accessories completely with

a soft clean cloth.

3. Once the cabinet has reached room temperature, wash the entire cabinet

inside and out with a baking soda and warm water solution. For slightly

more difficult cleanups, ammonia or vinegar in warm water can be used.

Rinse thoroughly with clear water and dry with a soft clean cloth. Failure to

dry all surfaces completely may cause water stains or streaking on the

aluminum or stainless steel finish.

4. Return all accessories to their respective positions and return electric

supply power to the model.

Precautions

1. Never use harsh detergents, cleaners, scouring powders, or chemicals

when cleaning your model.

2. Strong bleaches tend to corrode many materials and should never come in

contact with stainless steel.

3. Tincture of iodine, or iron should not come in contact with stainless steel.

These solutions, which cause stainless steel to discolor, should be rinsed

off immediately if contact occurs.

4. Some foods, such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dressings or

salts, may attack or corrode stainless steel.

5. Gritty, hard abrasives will mar the finish of stainless steel and aluminum

and are not recommended.

SLIDING AND HINGED GLASS

All glass doors whether sliding or hinged are easily removable for cleaning. Removal of

a hinged glass door is the same as a solid door (see “removal of doors and door

adjustment” in installation and location section). To remove a sliding door, slide it open

about half way, grasp the door on both sides and lift up to clear the bottom door track.

Tilt the door out at the bottom. Use the top of the door to ease the spring-loaded clos-

ing mechanism back to the closed position. Now, bring the door down out of the top

track. Caution should be taken so that the closing mechanism is not allowed to spring

back from the half-open position since the spring will go past the closed position and

may pop out of the top track. Should this happen, move the closing mechanism back

to the closed position.

To replace the sliding glass door, insert the door in the top track and use it to slide the

closing mechanism to the half-open position. Lift the door so it clears the bottom track,

push in to align the door with the track, and let the door down into the track.

Important Note: The glass used in sliding or hinged glass doors is of special,

sealed pane design and cannot be replaced with ordinary window or plate glass.

If it becomes necessary to replace the glass, it can be obtained directly from the

factory.

GENERAL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Performance of the air cooled condensing unit located on the top of your new model,

depends exclusively upon the amount of air passing through the condenser fins. Your

refrigerator or freezer will run more efficiently, consume less current, and provide a

maximum of trouble-free service throughout its lifetime if the condenser is kept clean

and an adequate supply of clean, cool air is provided at all times. Periodically (at least

once a month) inspect the condenser coil, which is located directly behind the front top

grill, to check for debris or blockage.

If the condenser coil is dirty or blocked, disconnect the power supply to your model

and using a stiff brush, brush the dirt from the condenser fins until the condenser is

clear from any debris. Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment may aid in

this cleaning process. After cleaning, restore electrical service to your model.

PARTS AND SERVICE

Always provide the cabinet model and serial number (located on the data plate on

the inside right wall of the cabinet) whenever contacting the factory or your dealer

regarding questions or when ordering parts.

Warranty Compressor Procedures

If the compressor fails within the first (12) months of use or (20) months by the

date code on the compressor, an “over-the-counter exchange” must be made through

a Tecumseh or Copeland dealer.

After the first year the additional (4) year compressor warranty is through

Continental Refrigeration, and can be handled by one of the following methods:

(1) Continental will supply the replacement compressor at no charge and pay for

regular ground freight.

(2) Continental will supply the compressor at no charge and the end user, dealer

or service company pays for the freight, other than regular ground (COD,

Visa or Mastercard).

(3) A compressor can be purchased locally and Continental will either replace

the compressor for stock or offer an allowance towards its purchase. The

end user is to pay the difference:

(A)

(B)

(C)

1/5 h.p. to 1/3 h.p.-Up to $100

1/2 h.p. to 3/4 h.p.-Up to $250

1 h.p. to 2 h.p.-Up to $350

Exceptions will be made depending on circumstances, but in all cases,

Continental must be notified prior to any transaction, if possible. The tag from the

defective compressor or the information (if unable to remove) must be returned for

proof of failure after the first year. Please contact the service department with any

further questions.

Thank You,

The Service Department
