LOCATION
The refrigerated merchandisers have been designed for
use only in air conditioned stores where temperature
and humidity are maintained at or below 75°F and 55%
relative humidity. DO NOT allow air conditioning,
electric fans, ovens, open doors or windows (etc.) to
create air currents around the merchandiser, as this will
impair its correct operation.
Product temperature should always be maintained at a
constant and proper temperature. This means that from
the time the product is received, through storage,
preparation and display, the temperature of the product
must be controlled to maximize life of the product.
UNCRATING THE STAND
Place the fixture as close to its permanent position as
possible. Remove the top of the crate. Detach the walls
from each other and remove from the skid. Unbolt the
case from the skid. The fixture can now be lifted off the
crate skid. Lift only at base of stand!
EXTERIOR LOADING
These models have not been structurally designed to
support excessive external loading. Do not walk on
their tops; This could cause serious personal injury and
damage to the fixture.
DANGER!
IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE RAISING GLASS!
HEX SCREWS ALONG CLAMSHELL
MAY HAVE LOOSENED DURING
SHIPPING!! RETIGHTEN ALL
CLAMSHELL SCREWS BEFORE
OPENING GLASS!
RETIGHTEN GLASS AFTER CASE IS
BROUGHT TO OPERATING
TEMPERATURE FOR THE FIRST
TIME!
During shipment, the lubricant inside the cylinders may
have settled. This settling may cause excessive or uneven
tension on the glass—to the point of breakage. To avoid
any damage, please follow these three easy steps:
1. Slowly raise and lower each glass section 6 times to
a height of 6".
2. Increase the height to 12", and raise and lower the
glass 6 more times.
3. Finally raise the glass to it’s full extension, and lower.
Installation
These steps should release any settled lubricant within
the cylinders, and prevent any stress on the front glass.
SETTING AND JOINING
The sectional construction of these models enable them
to be joined in line to give the effect of one continuous
display. A joint trim kit is supplied with each joint.
LEVELING
IMPORTANT! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT CASES BE
LEVELED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND SIDE TO SIDE
PRIOR TO JOINING. A LEVEL CASE IS NECESSARY
TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION, WATER DRAIN-
AGE, GLASS ALIGNMENT, AND OPERATION OF THE
HINGES SUPPORTING THE GLASS. LEVELING THE
CASE CORRECTLY WILL SOLVE MOST HINGE OP-
ERATION PROBLEMS.
NOTE: A. To avoid removing concrete flooring, begin lineup
leveling from the highest point of the store floor.
B.When wedges are involved in a lineup, set them first.
All cases were leveled and joined prior to shipment to
insure the closest possible fit when cases are joined in
the field. When joining, use a carpenter’s level and shim
legs accordingly. Case must be raised correctly, under
legs where support is best, to prevent damage to case.
1. Check level of floor where cases are to be set. De-
termine the highest point of the floor; cases will be
set off this point.
2. Set first case, and adjust legs over the highest part of
the floor so that case is level. Prevent damage – case
must be raised under leg or by use of 2x6 or 2x4 leg
brace. Remove side and back leg braces after case is
set.
3. Set second case as close as possible to the first case,
and level case to the first using the instructions in
step one.
4. Apply masking tape 1/8" in from end of case on inside
and outside rear mullion on both cases to be joined.
5. Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (butyl) to dot-
ted area shown in (Fig.2, #1) of first case. Apply heavy
amount to cover entire shaded area.
DO NOT USE PERMAGUM!
It is the contractor's
responsibility to install
case(s) according to local
construction and health
codes.
