 The procedure is repeated on the op-
posite end. When the leg levelers are in 
place, the case may be slid off the skid and 
placed in its final location. 
 
LEVELING – 
 
 The cabinet must be leveled properly 
to insure full drainage of condens ate water 
from the evaporator coil. Level the case 
from front to rear and end to end. Stan-
dard levelers , packed ins ide the case, or op-
tional legs can be provided for this purpose. 
 
SEALING – 
 
 Once the case is properly leveled, the 
case should be sealed to the floor as shown 
in the following drawing, using an NSF ap-
proved material such as General Electric 
RTV-102 silicone sealer or equivalent. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ACCESS PANEL REMOVAL – 
 
 The louvered access panel on the 
lower front of the case provides access to 
the condensing unit, electrical box and con-
densate pan. Remove panel by removing 
screw at bottom and lifting up and pulling 
forward. 
 
DRAINS – 
 
 Remote draining is not required in 
self-contained models. The condensate 
water from the evaporator drains out 
through the bottom of the cabinet, 
through a copper trap attached to the un-
derside and into the condensing unit com-
partment to a heated condensate pan. 
 
 Until this trap gets filled with wa-
ter from the initi al defrost, there may be a 
small fros t buildup in the coil area on 
startup, which should disappear after the 
first defrost. The pan uses a thermistor to 
sense the presence of water in the pan and 
adjusts the amount of heat required to 
evaporate the w ater. 
 
 
LEGS (OPTIONAL) - 
 
 If required by Health Inspectors 
the levelers can be removed and replaced 
with NSF Approved legs to raise the cas e 6 
inches for cleaning purposes. An optional 
skirt kit can be provided to clip on to the 
legs. 
 
SERIAL PLATE – 
 
 The serial plate is located on the in-
terior top wall of the cabinet towards the 
left end. It contains all pertinent informa-
tion s uch as model, cabinet serial number, 
amperage rating, refrigerant type and 
charge, etc. This information will be 
needed to install, service, or order parts 
for this piece of equipment.
