Installation

Location

Units represented in this manual are intended for indoor use

only. Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to

support the total weight of the cabinet and contents. A fully loaded

McCall reach-in can weigh as much as 1500 pounds. Reinforce

the floor as necessary to provide for maximum loading. For the

most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation

inside and out.

Inside cabinet: Do not pack refrigerator so full that air cannot

circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of

the unit. It is important to allow for proper air flow from the

top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow

can cause evaporator coil freeze ups and loss of temperature

or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The rear

of the unit has molded ribs and the shelves have a rear turn

up on them to prevent this. However, bags and other items

can still be located to the far rear of the cabinet. There is also

a return air diffuser along the top front of the cabinet interior,

this also requires proper air circulation. Prevent obstruction by

locating large boxes and tall stacks of product to the bottom of

the cabinet.

Outside cabinet: Be sure that the unit has access to ample air.

Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.

It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than

2” from any wall with at least 12” of clear space above the

unit. Avoid exposing glass door units to direct sunlight. Direct

sunlight through the glass doors will make the ABS liner

fade and become brittle and will greatly reduce refrigeration

efficiency.

Leveling

A level cabinet looks better and will perform better because the

doors will line up with the frames properly, the cabinet will not

be subject to undue strain and the contents of the cabinet will

not move around on the shelves. Use a level to make sure the

unit is level from front to back and side to side. Units supplied

with legs will have adjustable bullet feet to make the necessary

adjustments. If the unit is supplied with casters, no adjustments

are available. Ensure the floor where the unit is to be located is

level.

Stabilizing

Some models are supplied on casters for your convenience,

ease of cleaning underneath and for mobility. It is very

important, however, that the cabinet be installed in a stable

condition with the front wheels locked while in use.

Should it become necessary to lay the unit on its side or back for

any reason, allow at least 24 hours before start-up so as to allow

compressor oil to flow back to the sump. Failure to meet this

requirement can cause compressor failure and unit damage.

Unit repairs will not be subject to standard unit

warranties due to improper installation procedures.

Electrical connection

Refer to the amperage data on page 3, the serial tag, your

local code or the National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is

connected to the proper power source. A protected circuit of the

correct voltage and amperage must be run for connection of the

line cord, or permanent connection to the unit.

The thermostat must be turned to OFF and

the unit disconnected from the power source

whenever performing service, maintenance

functions or cleaning the refrigerated area.
