Prior To Installation

Carefully inspect cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is discovered, file your claim immediately with the transport company. Perlick is not responsible for damage in transit.

When moving the unit, be sure to protect finished flooring with ap-to avoid damage from moving the

propriate material to avoid damage from moving the unit.

Do not lift unit by drawer, shelving or door handles, as damage to the

unit could occur if not moved as instructed.

All models covered in this user manual are manufactured using refrigerant R600a(Isobutane).R600a is a hydrocarbon. This refrigerant is flammable and is only allowed for use in appliances with fulfill the requirements of UL/IEC 60335-1 and UL/IEC 60335-2-24. (To cover potential risk originated from the use of flammable refrigerants). Consequently, R600a is only allowed to be used in refrigerating appliances with are designed for this refrigerant and fulfill the above-mentioned standard.

• R600a is heavier than air. The concentration will always be highest at the floor level.
  • The explosion limits are as follows:

o Lower Limit: 1.8% by volume
o Upper Limit: 8.4% by volume
o Ignition Temperature: 460°C

To prevent personal injury, a minimum of two people are required to

lift the unit. Larger units may require additional personnel.

Before moving the unit, secure the door shut with tape to prevent door from swinging open while being moved. Carefully move unit to installation site and place in front of opening.

If unit has been laid on its back or sides, place unit upright and allow minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.

Signature Series products come equipped with a master power switch located behind the louvered toe kick. Remove the toe kick to turn power on or off to the unit.

INTERIOR LIGHT

Door units are equipped with an interior light that illuminate when the door is opened. All models come standard with adjustable blue and white LED lighting. The cabinet also comes equipped with a manual light switch for displaying the products through a glass door.

Always ensure that the manual light switch is in the OFF position before closing a solid wood or stainless steel door. If manual light switch is left on for an extended period of time, it will increase energy usage and decrease LED life.

LOADING PRODUCT

Before storing perishables, turn unit on and allow it to operate for a minimum of 24 hours to allow temperatures to stabilize. When loading items into the unit, do not block internal louvers and fan guard openings or performance will be decreased.

CHECKING PRODUCT TEMPERATURE

This process should occur when the daily low temperatures is at or below the temperatures stated below:

Freezer models: 32°F

Refrigerator models: 38° F

Beverage Center: 42°F

Wine Reserve: 45°F

It is best to winterize your unit before the low temperatures listed above.

1. Turn the unit to OFF position by pressing the OFF button on the controller. The controller displays the word "OFF" and, for Signature Series models, turn the master switch located behind the grille off (if the power cord is accessible, unplug the power cord. If not, turn off the circuit breaker to the electrical receptacle the cabinet is plugged into).
2. Remove all contents from the unit.
3. Remove the front grille.
4. Clean the condenser by using a vacuum cleaner to remove loose debris (leaves, dirt, etc.) that may have accumulated inside the grille.
5. Reinstall the front grille.
6. Clean the interior of the unit using stainless steel cleaner and polish (see page 9).
7. Clean the exterior of the unit using stainless steel cleaner and polish (see page 9).

NOTE: Do not place a cover over the unit. While not required, you may choose to remove the unit from the outdoor location and store indoors.

CAUTION

Operating the unit at temperatures lower than those recommended will

void the warranty.

Spring Start-Up

This process should occur after the daily low temperatures is above the temperatures stated below:

Freezer models: 32° F

Refrigerator models: 38°F

Beverage Center: 42°F

Wine Reserve: 45°F

1. Remove the grille.
2. Check the condensing unit to ensure it is clear of loose debris, and clean as necessary with a vacuum cleaner.
3. Reattach front grille to the unit.
4. Clean the interior of the unit using stainless steel cleaner and polish (see page 9).
5. Clean the exterior of the unit using stainless steel cleaner and polish (see page 9).
6. Plug the unit into the electrical receptacle or turn on the circuit breaker.
7. Turn on the master switch located behind the grille if model is Signature Series. Press the OFF button one time to turn the unit on. The controller display will show the actual temperature inside the cabinet.
8. The cooling process will begin to bring the unit to the set temperature. It's recommended you run the unit for 24 hours to stabilize the operating temperature before using.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

STAINLESS STEEL CARE & CLEANING General

Stainless steel is a "passive" metal because it contains other metals like chromium, nickel and manganese that stabilize the atoms. Chromium provides an invisible passive film that covers the steel surface, acting as a shield against corrosion. As long as the film is intact and not contaminated, the metal is passive and stainless. If the passive film of stainless steel has been broken, equipment can start to corrode and rust.

Three materials or processes can break down stainless steel's passive layer and allow corrosion to occur:

• Mechanical abrasion
• Deposits and water
• Chlorides

Mechanical abrasion refers to items that will scratch a steel surface. Steel pads, wire brushes and scrapers are prime examples.

Water comes out of the faucet in varying degrees of hardness. Hard water may leave spots. When allowed to sit, these deposits will break down the passive chromium layer and rust stainless steel. Other deposits from food preparation must be promptly removed with an appropriate cleaning agent.

Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They are in water, food and table salt. Household and industrial cleaners are the worst offenders.

Preventing Stainless Steel Rust

Use non-abrasive tools to clean stainless steel products. Soft cloths and plastic scouring pads will not harm the steel's passive layer.

Clean with polish lines. Some stainless steels have visible polishing lines or "grain". When visible lines are present, always scrub in a motion parallel to the lines. When the grain cannot be seen, polish in a consistent straight pattern and not in a circular motion.

Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners. While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever-increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of chloride content in the cleaner being used, contact your cleaner supplier. If your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask your supplier for an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salt; it also can attack stainless steel and cause pitting and rusting.

Keep food equipment clean. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride cleaners at recommended strength. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard, stubborn stains. The single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Remember, adding heat to cleaners that contain chlorides dramatically increases their effect on stainless steel.

If chlorinated cleaners are used, immediately rinse and wipe equipment and supplies dry. The sooner you wipe standing water, especially when it contains cleaning agents, the better. After wiping equipment down, allow it to air dry. Oxygen helps maintain the stainless steel passive film.

Cleaning the Cabinet Interior/Exterior

CAUTION NEVER use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel. Do not use abrasive cleansers or cloths on any interior or exterior surfaces or removeable parts.

Glass panels may be cleaned using any standard glass cleaner available on the market.

To clean interior and exterior non-metallic surfaces and removable parts, wash with mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a little baking soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on the lights, controllers, fan motors and unfinished wood wine rack faces.

Cleaning the Condenser

The condenser (located behind the front grille cover) should be cleaned every three (3) months. Use a soft bristle brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint.

DANGER Flammable Refrigerant. Risk of fire or explosion. Do not damage

refrigeration tubes.

CAUTION Avoid damaging or crushing the condenser fins or tubing.
