Setup and Installation

1. Delivery Inspection

Upon delivery, it is crucial to inspect the unit for any potential carrier damage. Cut the white box straps and lift the box to thoroughly examine the appliance. If any damage is found, refuse the unit and do not sign the delivery paperwork. If no damage is present, sign off accepting the unit. Please note that commercial appliances are typically non-returnable once accepted, making this inspection vital.

• Ensure the unit is placed on a level, sturdy surface capable of supporting its weight (Net Weight: 331 lbs).
• Allow adequate clearance around the unit for proper ventilation, especially around the condenser coil located on the side.
• The carrier is responsible for curbside delivery only and cannot assist with moving the unit inside or installation. Arrange for additional personnel if needed for placement.

3. Electrical Connection

The unit is factory-wired and ready for connection to a 115V/60Hz/1 phase, 15 amp dedicated outlet. Ensure the electrical supply meets these requirements. The electrical cord length is 96 inches, and the plug type is NEMA 5-15P.

Before first use, clean the interior and exterior surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Ensure all components, including shelves and drip trays, are clean.
