Glass Frosters Installation & Operation Manual

PREPARING THE CABINET - GLASS FROSTERS

Refrigerant

All models covered in this user manual are
manufactured using refrigerant R290 (Propane).
R290 is a hydrocarbon. This refrigerant is
flammable and is only allowed for use in appliances which fulfill the requirements of UL 471 (To cover potential risk originated from the
use of flammable refrigerants). Consequently, R290 is only allowed to be used in refrigerating
appliances which are designed for this
refrigerant and fulfill the above-mentioned standard.

 R290 is heavier than air. The concentration will always be highest at floor level.

 The explosion limits are as follows:

- Lower Limit: 1.7% by vol. (37 g/m3)

- Upper Limit: 9.5% by vol. (177 g/m3)

- Ignition Temperature: 470 °C

DANGER

Take caution when handling, moving and

using the product to avoid damaging the

refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a

leak.

WARNING

All service work shall be performed by factory

authorized service personnel and all

component parts shall be replaced with like

components to minimize the risk of possible

ignition due to incorrect parts or improper

service.

CAUTION If service is necessary,
repair work must be performed by a Perlick authorized servicer. Work done by unqualified individuals could potentially be dangerous and will void the warranty.

Uncrating and Inspection

Remove all crating material. Carefully inspect
cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is discovered, file your claim immediately with the transport company. Perlick is not responsible for
damage in transit.

NOTICE

This product contains blown foam insulation

using blowing agent R-611 (Methyl Formate).

The foam in this product does not contain

HFC's, CFC's, or HCFC's.

Plumbing

No plumbing connections are required. Condensate from the cooling coil automatically evaporated through a condensate pan located in the condensing unit section.

Electrical

The cabinet must be connected to a separately
fused power source (see Electrical Specification Plate affixed to unit) in accordance with National and Local electrical codes.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to operate the equipment on any

other power source than that listed on the

Electrical Specification Plate.

Adjustable Partitions & Shelving
Perlick Glass Frosters may be provided with adjustable partitions and shelving which will accommodate various bottle sizes.
 When placing glasses in chiller make sure to ensure proper air flow between glasses.
 When loading product into cabinet, care must be taken to avoid blocking airflow into and out of the evaporator. Maintain at least 2" of clearance on evaporator air intake and exhaust for proper operation.
Installing Casters or Legs (optional)
Attach casters or legs to the cabinet bottom in holes provided. Use the supplied 1/4" - 20 hex head self-tapping machine screws. If unit is tipped on its back for an extended period of time, wait 24 hours after unit is uprighted to plug the unit in.
Placing the Cabinet
To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be allowed to circulate through the machinery compartment. It is important to allow at least two inched of clearance at the back or left end of the cabinet. Do not place anything in front of the cabinet that would obstruct air flow at these grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.
CAUTION Removing the factory
installed back clearance spacers without providing proper left side grill clearance for compressor air flow will void the warranty.

Perlick is committed to continuous improvement. Therefore, we reserve the right to change specifications without prior notice.

Glass Frosters Installation & Operation Manual

HOW TO OPERATE - GLASS FROSTERS

Cabinet should be leveled. For sanitation purposes, it may be necessary to seal the base of the cabinet to the floor. This can be accomplished by laying a bead of silicone sealant along the base of the cabinet as shown by the figure below (figure 1).
Cabinet
Bead Silicon Sealer (RTV)
Floor
Figure 1. Sealing Cabinet to Floor
Temperature Control A digital temperature control is located on the front face of the Glass Froster, above the condensing unit housing. It is factory set at approximately 0°F for standard refrigeration. Digital Temperature Control
To display the Set point values press the key when the `SET' label is displayed. The Set point value appears on the display. To change the Set point value, press the and keys within 15 seconds. Press to confirm the modification. The condenser fan motor turns off and on with compressor. The evaporator fan motor runs continuously.

Defrosting The System This system consists of a six-hour, as well as a four hour defrost cycle. The six hour defrost cycle is manually activated and automatically terminated, while the four hour cycle is completely automatic. The Six Hour Manual Defrost The six hour manual defrost shuts off the power to the condensing unit, door frame heater, evaporator heater, and the automatic four hour defrost timer, while it supplies power to the evaporator fan. To activate the six hour defrost system, depress (and hold for 3 seconds) the defrost switch located next to the controller above the front grill of the cabinet. When the manual defrost cycle initiates a fan icon will appear on the controller display as well as "def" (figure 3a). When the defrost cycle ends, the cabinet resumes normal operation. To cancel a manual defrost cycle, momentarily turn off the electricity to the machine (unplug unit).
Figure 3a
The Four Hour Defrost Timer This automatic defrost ensures that frost will not buildup on the evaporator coil. Every four hours it shuts down the condensing unit, box frame heater, evaporator fan and supplies power to the defrost element clamped to the bottom of the evaporator. When automatic defrost is initiated the controller will display a melting snowflake as well as "def" for the duration of the defrost (figure 3b).

Glass Frosters Installation & Operation Manual

HOW TO OPERATE - GLASS FROSTERS

To manually initiate the automatic defrost cycle press and hold either the up or down arrows. The defrost cycle lasts for approximately 20 minutes followed by 2 minutes of drip time (where the evaporator fan shuts off to allow water to drip off the coil and drain before it can refreeze). (figure 3c).
Figure 3c When the cycle is complete the unit will resume cooling operation shown on the controller with a snowflake and fan icon, however "def" will remain on the display screen until the next time the set point value is reached (figure 3d). During normal operation it is recommended that the doors are not left open to prevent excessive frost buildup on the coil.
Figure 3d
Cleaning the Condenser DANGER Flammable Refrigerant.
Risk of fire or explosion. Do not damage refrigeration tubes.  The condenser (located behind the front
grille) should be inspected every 30 days, and cleaned, if necessary. Failure to keep the condenser clean will cause a loss in condensing unit efficiency, or compressor failure.

Cleaning the Doors
 Doors should be periodically removed from the cabinet and inspected for a buildup of foreign materials, such as syrups, beer, etc. Buildups on the underside of the doors, along with the cabinet breaker strips on which they ride, will cause them to bind, and therefore, not function as designed. If dirty, these surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and water and then coated with an NSF certified silicone lubricating material.
To remove doors:
 With door closed, lift it upward by its handle and slide forward until doors clears the cabinet top. Use the reverse procedure to reinstall the doors.
Cleaning the Cabinets
 Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and water to clean the inside and outside of the cabinet. Dry thoroughly. Do not allow cleaning agents or large amounts of water to go down the drain. Use an acceptable stainless steel polish to clean all stainless steel surfaces. Never use steel wool or scouring pads to clean stainless steel.
Avoiding Stainless Steel Corrosion
Corrosion can be prevented by following product cautions, cleaning instructions and avoiding use of certain chemicals or objects which will cause stainless steel corrosion.
STAINLESS STEEL ENEMY
 Steel wool or steel scouring pads  Cherry/Orange/Olive juice  Chlorine Bleach  Sharp Objects
