3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials, including tape and protective film. Inspect the unit for any shipping damage. Report any damage immediately to the carrier and supplier.

3.2 Placement

• Place the freezer on a firm, level surface. The unit is equipped with four two-inch casters for mobility; ensure the two locking casters are engaged once the unit is in its final position.
• Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space around the back and sides of the unit for proper air circulation.
• Avoid direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources (e.g., ovens, radiators).

3.3 Electrical Connection

Connect the freezer to a dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC power outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded. Do not use extension cords or adapter plugs.

3.4 Initial Start-up

After placement and electrical connection, allow the unit to stand for at least 2 hours before plugging it in. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, allow the freezer to run empty for 2-4 hours to reach the desired operating temperature before loading products.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Temperature Control

The freezer is designed to maintain optimal temperatures for ice cream and frozen novelties. Adjust the thermostat control, typically located on the exterior or interior, to set the desired temperature. Refer to the specific control panel for detailed adjustment instructions.

4.2 Loading Products

The unit has a 9 cubic feet capacity. Utilize the two included wire baskets for organized storage and to maximize display effectiveness. Do not block the internal air vents, as this can impair cooling efficiency.

4.3 Access and Security

The freezer features two sliding doors with curved top glass for easy access and product visibility. A built-in lock is provided for security. Always ensure the doors are properly closed to maintain temperature and prevent ice buildup.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• Exterior: Clean the exterior surfaces (white painted steel with gray plastic trim) with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Interior: Periodically clean the steel interior walls and wire baskets. Remove all products, unplug the unit, and use a mild, food-safe cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry before restoring power and products.
• Glass Doors: Clean the curved glass doors with a glass cleaner.

5.2 Defrosting

Manual defrosting is required when ice buildup on the interior walls reaches approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) thickness. The unit features a conveniently located rear defrost drain. To defrost:

1. Remove all products and store them in another freezer.
2. Unplug the unit.
3. Open the doors and allow the ice to melt naturally. Place towels or a shallow pan under the rear defrost drain to collect water.
4. Once defrosted, clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
5. Plug the unit back in and allow it to reach operating temperature before reloading products.

5.3 Condenser Coil Cleaning

Periodically clean the condenser coils (typically located at the back or bottom of the unit) to ensure efficient operation. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
