INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL: CFG/CRG
KF/KR SERIES

1. INSTALLATION

A  Receiving Inspection upon receipt, check all packages for accessories or optional components, including legs, casters and shelves.

 B  Leveling

To provide adequate condensate drainage, proper door alignment and operation, it is necessary that the cabinet be level. Screw type levelers are provided in each comer of the cabinet base. Level cabinet from front to rear and from side to side. This should be done after cabinet has been set in its final operating position.

KF/FR: Have stem casters which must be installed, packed inside cabinet. Casters must be tight to cabinet base. If casters are not tight to the cabinet base, they may bend or break and possibly allow the cabinet to tip over.

C  Shelves:

Included are coated wire shelves packed inside cabinet. Shelf spacing is adjustable with enclosed shelf supports to suit requirements. Shelves can be tipped down at front for display by lowering front shelf support. Place bottom shelf up two inches to allow air to circulate under shelf

 D  Compressor Mounts (Most Freezers)

The compressor is mounted on four springs. For shipping these are compreSsed by a steel band around the compressor. White staying clear of uncoiling steel band, cut and remove the steel band.

2. OPERATION;

 a.  A wiring diagram is affixed to the left hand compressor housing in a plastic bag. It is important that the cabinet be wired into a separate single outlet circuit. Before connecting cabinet, check line voltage to assure it is compatible with the voltage specified on the data plate. Low line voltage is often the cause of service complaints. Wiring should be sufficient to carry the electrical load and to meet local codes. A qualified electrician should make the necessary electrical connections.. Be sure cabinet is properly grounded.

2. Initial Start-Up:

Turn Power on and check that compressor and condenser fan are running. On CFG Models, evaporator fans are delayed in starting until the evaporator temperature has reached approx. 25, (-4C) Once fans are running, a switch above each door will stop fans when the door is opened.

3. Interior Lights:

KF/KR: Models Light(s) are actuated by door switch(s).

CFG/CRG: Models Light(s) are actuated by manual operated rocker switch(s). On freezer models with fluorescent lamps, the lamps will be off on initial start-up and during defrost when cabinet is above 25⁹F(-4C).

Note: If unit is equipped with fluorescent lamps, replace with same size and wattage lamp. Do Not use reduced Wattage lamps. The reduced wattage lamps generally fail to light below 60⁹F(16C) and will damage the ballast.

4. Defrost System and Condensate Disposal'

The defrost timer and lamp ballast are located in the pull out drawer behind the grille. For access to these components, remove the bottom grille Freezers are provided with electric defrost heater actuated by the defrost timer. The defrost timer clock provides for one to four defrost cycles per 24 hour period. The timer is factory set for four defrost cycles per 24 hour period to occur at 12 midnight, 6a.m., 12 noon and 6 p.m. When the freezer is placed in service the clock must be set to the time of day. The defrost cycle is normally temperature-terminated by an internal control switch. However, the defrost on-time is limited to 30 minutes by a separate setting. To set back up defrost termination, push down and rotate pointer on inside (2 hour) dial until it is opposite desired time. Refrigerators do not have a defrost timer. However, defrosting automatically with each cycle of the compressor. All cabinets are equipped with hot has condensate disposal system Outside drain hook up is unnecessary.

5. Temperature Control

The temperature control is factory set to maintain approximately the following air temperatures:

KR 'Control Setting" #4 =38"F(3°C)

CRG 'Control Setting" #4 =38F(3°C)

KF "Control Setting" #5 =0,(-113⁹C)

CFG "Control Setting' #3=-12⁹F(-25⁵C)

For colder cabinet temperatures, turn knob clockwise, one number at a time, allowing one hour for temperature to stabilize Excessive tampering with the control could lead to service difficulties. For operation above 3,000 ft. altitude, have temperature control calibrated by a qualified service technician.

3. MAINTENANCE

1. Cleaning Cabinet Exterior:

Cabinet should be cleaned with a solution of mild soap and water. Do not use caustic soap and water. Do not use caustic soap or abrasive cleaners, since these might damage the cabinet finish. If stainless steel surface becomes discolored, scrub by rubbing only in the direction of the finish grain. Do not use steel wool.

2. Cleaning Interior Surfaces'
   The inside of the cabinet is coated with a baked-on finish. To clean, use mild soapy water and cloth or sponge.
3. Condenser

For efficient operation, it is recommended that the condenser coil and fans be cleaned every 3 to 6 months. Remove front grille for access. Vacuum clean front surface of coil thoroughly or direct forced air through condenser fins. Failure to clean condenser can cause compressor malfunction and will VOID WARRANTY!

4. Condensate Pan:  Condensate pan should be cleaned periodically to prevent odors and maintain evaporation efficiency.
5. Evaporator Housing;

If internal parts are to be serviced, lower housing to gain access. Some Models require removing drain tube first. Most Models have a separate access cover for the thermostat and switches.

6. Fluorescent Lamps:

If your unit is equipped with fluorescent lights, replace with the same size and wattage lamp. DO NOT use reduced wattage lamps. The reduced wattage lamps generally fail to light below 60T. (16°C) and WILL damage the ballast.

4. SERVICING:

All Beverage-Air products are inspected and performance tested at the factory before crating to insure years of satisfactory operation. However, in time, minor servicing will be necessary to maintain or restore peak performance of the cabinet in particular applications. Problems usually encountered and the corrections are as follows:

Problem: High temperature of product or cabinet interior.

Correction: (1) Inside rear wall might be blocked with product. Be sure space between shelves, in center of cabinet, is open for proper air circulation, (2) Very high usage, or door left open, will raise temperature. Give cabinet time to pull back down. (3) Cabinet might be in defrost cycle, check timer box for position of cam. (4) Condenser could be clogged with dirt, cutting down air flow. Check and clean, if dirty.

A drier is installed in the system. Its purpose is to trap minute particles of foreign material and absorb any moisture in the system.

Liquid refrigerant control to the evaporator of the system is accomplished by the use of either an expansion valve or a capillary tube. This capillary tube is soldered to the suction line to form a heat exchanger which subcools the liquid refrigerant to maintain high efficiency within the system.

NOTES:

*Use of proprietary names is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner, and does not constitute an indorsement. Nor is omission of any cleanser to imply it's inadequacy. It should be emphasized that all products should be used in strict accordance with instructions on package.

*"In all applications a stainless steel wool or sponge or fibrous brush or pads are recommended. Avoid use of ordinary steel wool or steel brushes for scouring stainless steel.

SUGGESTIONS:

*Use the mildest cleaning procedure that will do the job effectively.                                  *Rinsing thoroughly with fresh water after cleaning operation.

*Rub in the direction of polish lines for maximum effectiveness                                       *Wipe dry and avoid water marks.

and to avoid marring the surface.
