Section 2 Installation Section 2 Installation General CAUTION These instructions are of the utmost importance in assuring that the Manitowoc Koolaire cabinet operates as designed, and must be followed closely. Positioning the Cabinet CAUTION When selecting a permanent location for the cabinet, observe the following guidelines. Failure to do so may cause reduced performance and efficiency, cause damage, and void your warranty.
Installation Section 2 Uncrating WARNING Never attempt to tilt the cabinet alone. Always use two or more people when tilting the cabinet to remove the shipping skid or to move it through doorways. 1. Remove the bottom shipping skid using one of the methods below: • Lay the cabinet on its back, elevated and supported by wooden blocks. Remove the skid mounting bolts and separate the skid from the cabinet. • Tilt the cabinet from side to side and remove the mounting bolts.

Section 3 Start-Up Condensate Water Removal (Refrigerators and Freezers) 24 HOUR DIAL Manitowoc cabinets are equipped with a condensate vaporizer system. This system uses energy-saving hot gas supplied by the refrigeration system lines. No drain connection is required. 2 HOUR DIAL Defrost Systems GENERAL Refrigerator coils operate at tmperatures below freezing (32°F). During compressor “off” time, the evaporator fan continues to circulate 38°F refrigerator compartment air through the evaporator coil.
Start-Up Section 3 Temperature Control REFRIGERATORS AND FREEZERS The temperature controls are factory-set to maintain an average temperature of 38°F (3°C) in refrigerators, and an average temperature of 0°F (18°C) in freezers. The temperature variance is 6-8 F (2°-4°C) degrees. A freezer should run between -2°F to +4°F (3°C to 15°C). A refrigerator should run between +35° to +42°F (1°C to 5°C).
Section 4 Cleaning Section 4 Cleaning Exterior Interior Clean cabinet exterior surfaces with a solution of mild soap and water. To minimize streaking, follow with a fresh water rinse. Clean cabinet interior surfaces with warm water and baking soda, applied with a cloth or sponge. If stainless steel becomes discolored, scrub only in the direction of the finished grain. For high shine, see your kitchen equipment dealer for a high-quality stainless steel polish.
Cleaning Section 4 Cleaning the Condenser Coil WARNING Disconnect electric power before cleaning. A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in excessively high operating temperatures. This reduces efficiency and shortens component life. The washable aluminum filter is designed to catch dust, dirt, lint and grease. This helps keep the condenser clean. For efficient operation, it is very important to clean the condenser coil surface and keep it free of dust, dirt, and lint.
Section 5 Adjustments and Calibrations Section 5 Adjustments and Calibrations Adjustments Cabinet doors may require some adjustment after a period of usage, depending upon the frequency of door openings. This is normal. Follow the appropriate procedure below: SOLID DOOR ADJUSTMENT 1. Remove the metal hinge covers that conceal the three hinge mounting screws. Gently pry it off with a flat-bladed screwdriver. GLASS DOOR ADJUSTMENT To adjust the spring tension: 1.
Adjustments and Calibrations Thermometer Calibration Occasionally, the rigors of shipping and installation can shift the thermometer out of proper adjustment. If the accuracy of the thermometer is in question, place another thermometer inside the cabinet at approximately mid-height and compare the readings. If the thermometer requires adjustment, follow the procedure below. 1. Gently pry off the clear thermometer cover lens with a small flat-bladed screwdriver. 2.
