REACH-INS & ROLL-INS RECEIVING YOUR NEW MODEL Congratulations on your purchase of Continental Refrigerator superior foodservice equipment! When your shipment arrives, thoroughly examine the packaging for any punctures, dents or signs of rough handling. It is in your best interest to partially remove or open the shipping container to examine the contents for any missing accessories or concealed damage which may have occurred during shipment.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS Four (4) bolts secure the cabinet to the wooden skid. The bolts are located at each end on the underside of the skid. In order to remove these bolts, tilt the cabinet backwards and place wooden blocks at each end in order to hold it in its tilted position. Using a ¾” socket or open end wrench, remove the bolts and carefully slide the cabinet off of the skid.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS FIGURE 2B: Roll-In or Roll-Thru Refrigerator or Freezer INSTALLATION AND LOCATION Before moving the cabinet to its final point of installation, measure all doorways or passages to assure clearance. If additional clearance is needed, you can remove the cabinet doors and grill (see “Door Removal and Adjustment” and “Grill Removal”). VENTILATION The final location site of your air cooled refrigerator or freezer must provide a sufficient quantity of cool, clean air.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS FIGURE 3: Minimum Clearance (Typical Reach-In Model Shown) INSTALLING CASTERS AND LEVELING If your new unit is supplied with swivel casters, they will be packed in the accessory box that came with your cabinet. Casters should be installed only when the cabinet is close to its final installation site. To install casters on your new model, place wooden blocks along the back, at each end. Tilt the cabinet back, using the wood blocks to help hold the cabinet in its tilted position.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS FIGURE 4A: Casters Must Be Tight to Cabinet Bottom INSTALLING ROLL-IN AND ROLL-THRU MODELS Roll-In and Roll-Thru models are designed to be mounted directly (without legs or casters) on a flat floor surface in your building (see Figure 6). The bottom off the cabinet is only about ½” thick, to make it easy to roll carts up and into the storage area.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS SITE PREPARATION IMPORTANT: The floor where any roll-in or roll-thru unit is to be located must be level and flat. If not, it must be made level prior to attempting to install the cabinet. THIS IS CRITICAL FOR ROLL-THRU MODELS. The best way to ensure a trouble-free installation is to have a flat, level surface where the unit will be located, prior to setting the cabinet in place.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS CONDENSATE REMOVAL (Interior Coil Models) IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the water level switch operates correctly, that the vaporizer is plugged into the receptacle labeled “VAPORIZER” and the compressor is securely plugged into the receptacle labeled “CONDENSING UNIT”. Improper installation may cause your cabinet or vaporizer to operate “erratically.” This can result in water overflowing the pan and onto the floor.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS DOOR REMOVAL AND ADJUSTMENT During installation, it may become necessary to remove the cabinet doors to facilitate passage through narrow doorways or hallways. To remove a door, carefully pry off all hinge covers using a sharp tool or plastic putty knife (see Figure 8). Swing the door open 90° and carefully lift the door up, so the hinge pins attached to the door clear the hinge bases mounted to the cabinet. If it is necessary to remove the hinges, follow the instructions below.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS To finish the cabinet wiring modifications, remove the cover from the control box, on top of the cabinet. There will be a black lamp cord, with a tag identifying it as the light switch wire. Install (2) female wire connectors on the black lamp cord. There will be (2) brown lamp cord leads on the terminal block. Disconnect them and replace with the wires from the black lamp cord.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS GFI/GFCI RECEPTACLES Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI or GFI) devices are not recommended for most commercial refrigerators and freezers, since nuisance trips may occur, typically due to moisture. This can cause temporary loss of power, which may result in high storage temperatures and potentially unsafe food product. Building codes in some areas may require certain 115 volt receptacles to be protected by a GFI.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS The system should run smooth and quietly in accordance with generally accepted commercial standards. If any unusual noises are heard, turn the unit off immediately and check for any obstructions of the condenser or evaporator fans. Fan motors, fan blades, or fan housings can be jarred out of position through rough handling in transit or during installation.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS foods be kept above 140°F to retard bacterial growth. Foods that are steaming should always be covered. IMPORTANT NOTE: The operating range of the warmer temperature control is is 60°F to 180°F. Never allow the cabinet temperature to exceed 200°F since serious damage could result to your warming cabinet and the warranty will become null and void.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS WARMER WITH AXIAL FANS (Heaters Inside Cabinet; Fan in Housing on Top of Cabinet) The unique plug-type heating system used on most warmer models have heating elements located inside the cabinet storage area (see Figure 9C). An axial fan is contained within a plug-type insulated housing, readily accessible on the top of the cabinet, for even temperature distribution.

REACH-INS & ROLL-INS 2. All refrigerant should be removed from the system by a qualified technician and disposed of properly, or reclaimed. (Intentional venting of many refrigerants into the air is harmful and prohibited; violators are subject to fines). All refrigerant oil should be drained from the compressor and discarded appropriately. 3. Properly dispose of the cabinet and refrigeration system components.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS WIRE PAN SLIDE RACKS Reach-In & Pass-Thru Models Wire rod pan slide racks are attached directly to the left and right walls in the cabinet and to vertical mounting brackets in the center sections, between the doors, on 2 & 3-section models (see Figure 11B). To install Wire Pan Racks in a unit that previously had shelves or metal pan slides, mounting holes will need to be drilled in the side walls of the cabinet.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS To replace the doors, reverse the steps above, making sure the door seats properly over the locating studs on the roller track. SLIDING GLASS DOOR COMPONENTS FIGURE 13: Sliding Glass Door Components ELECTRICAL RACEWAY If your sliding door does not close firmly, remove the doors, starting with the outer door, as described above. Check the bottom of the door, mounting frame channel, and rollers to make sure they are clean and free of debris.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS While in transit, your cabinet is subjected to more jarring and vibration than at any other time, and the display may require some adjustment at start-up. Refrigerators are designed to maintain 38° to 40°F (3.3° to 4.4°C) and Freezers -2° to 0°F (-19° to -18°C). During periods of heavy use, when doors are opened repeatedly or remain open for extended period, or if warm product is loaded in the cabinet, the temperature displayed may temporarily exceed the “normal” range.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS MOUNTING CASTER SUPPORT PLATES If casters on a cabinet are not properly maintained and tightened, or if the unit is excessively overloaded and moved around, the threaded inserts in the bottom of the cabinet can become stripped, twisted or collapsed. If this occurs and the stem casters cannot be mounted securely, rigid caster support plates can be fitted to provide the strength needed to safely use your cabinet.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS INSTALLATION OF TIE-IN STRAPS Roll-Thru Cabinets If two cabinets are installed side-by-side, a Tie-In Kit with straps and notched upper end panels is available to attach to the cabinets for rigidity. Before installing Tie-In Strips, make sure the cabinets are close together and each unit is properly leveled (see Installing Roll-In and Roll-Thru Models).
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS REMOTE SET-UP AND INSTALLATION GUIDELINES All remote refrigerators and freezers are shipped with an expansion valve, thermostat and defrost timer (freezer only), installed from the factory. The installer is responsible for connecting all refrigerant lines, liquid line drier, sight glass, solenoid, head pressure control, hi/low pressure safety, crankcase heater, condensing unit and any other accessories as well as wiring.
REACH-INS & ROLL-INS FIGURE 16: Fish File Components CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE In addition to normal cleaning, (see Periodic Cleaning Procedure) the entire interior of your Fish File, including the drawers and storage pans, must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized daily, to prevent excessive build-up of food residue, which can cause unpleasant odors and potentially unsanitary conditions.
