Victory FS-3N-S1 - Manual (Page 6)

Proper installation is the first step to operation. We recommend that your refrigerator or freezer be installed by a Victory
authorized service technician.
Receiving
Prior to shipping, all Victory products are factory tested for performance and thoroughly inspected to ensure they are
free of any defects. Upon receipt, carefully examine the unit for any damage that may have occurred during shipping
and delivery. Any damage, discrepancies, shortages or overages should be noted on the carrier's Bill of Lading and
a freight claim must be filed immediately with the carrier. If damage is noticed after receipt, contact the carrier's local
terminal and file a freight claim. In either case, it is important that all original cartons, crates and interior packaging
material are saved until inspection has been made with the delivering carrier.
Uncrating
WARNING: Never lay your refrigerator or freezer down on either its back, front or sides. This causes compressor oil
to enter the refrigerant lines which can damage the compressor at start-up. If the unit is laid down, it must be set upright
for a minimum of 24 hours before starting the compressor. Failure to adhere to the above recommendation will void
the warranty.
Tools Needed : 3/4” Box Wrench, Adjustable Wrench, Level, Flathead Screwdriver, Box Cutting (or Carpenter) Knife
1. Take off the cardboard top capping by removing all clear tape and staples with a flathead screwdriver. Also remove
all staples at the bottom of the cardboard carton and skid.
2. Starting from the top of the cardboard carton, carefully take a box cutting knife and try to make one continuous cut
until you come to the wooden skid. Remove the cardboard carton from around the cabinet and discard.
*Note: An additional clear, plastic, protective wrap is applied directly to the exterior of all cabinets with glass doors.
3. Move cabinet as close to final location as possible before removing skid.
4. Remove the shipping skid by tipping the cabinet forward. Remove the shipping bolts with 3/4” box wrench while
the cabinet is held in one direction. Repeat this procedure while the cabinet is held in the opposite direction.
WARNING: The cabinet must be blocked and secured when removing the shipping skid.
5. Remove protective vinyl coating from all interior and exterior surfaces.
Storage Refrigerator/Freezer Location
Consider the following when selecting a location for your refrigerator or freezer:
1. Clearance - There must be a minimum clearance of 12” between the top of the refrigerator or freezer and the
ceiling.
2. Floor Load - The floor on which the cabinet will rest must be even/level, free of vibration and strong enough to
support the combined weights of the cabinet plus the maximum product load.
3. Ventilation - The air cooled, self-contained refrigerator or freezer requires a sufficient amount of cool, clean air.
Avoid placing the refrigerator or freezer near heat generating equipment such as ovens, ranges, heaters, fryers,
steam kettles, etc., and out of direct sunlight. Avoid locating the self-contained refrigerator or freezer in an
unheated room, or where the room temperature may be below 55°F.
Installing Legs or Casters
Refrigerators and freezers are shipped with 1/2” single stud mounted legs or casters.
WARNING: Cabinet must be blocked and secured when installing legs or casters.
1. Legs/Casters must be screwed in by hand into the threaded holes located on the case bottom. No threads of the
leg or caster stem should be visible.
*NOTE: Once the caster cannot be turned, using a 3/4” box wrench, tighten the nut in between the mounting plate and wheel of
the caster until it is snug.
2. Tilt the cabinet in one direction approximately eight inches and block it securely with several pieces of 2" x 4"
lumber or other suitable material.
3. Screw in the two left or right legs/casters.
4. Repeat this procedure to install the other legs/casters.
