This manual provides essential instructions for the setup, operation, and maintenance of your Avantco refrigerated bakery case. Key requirements include ensuring the unit is placed on a level surface, maintaining proper ventilation clearance, and allowing the unit to stand upright for 24 hours if it was transported on its side.
Structure and Components
The unit features a glass door, adjustable merchandising shelves, and a refrigeration system located in the base. Key components include:

- Glass Door: Provides visibility and access to products.
- Merchandising Shelves: Height is adjustable. To adjust, remove the shelf, place supports at the desired height, and replace the shelf.
- Hot Air Exhaust & Air Intake: Never block these grates; the refrigeration system requires airflow for proper operation.
- Power Switch: Located on the unit base.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation is critical for the longevity and efficiency of your unit:

- Surface: Install on a strong, level surface to prevent noise and malfunctions.
- Clearance: Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance on the sides and back of the unit.
- Environment: Install in an indoor, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, and dusty environments.
- Placement: Keep away from heat and moisture-generating equipment.
- Initial Setup: If the unit was transported on its side, let it stand upright for at least 24 hours before plugging it in.
Digital Temperature Controller
The unit is factory-set to optimum temperatures. To adjust settings:

- View Temperature: Press the SET button.
- Modify Temperature: Press the up or down arrow buttons to change the value, then press SET to store.
- Illumination: Press the light button to toggle interior lights.
- Manual Defrost: Press and hold the defrost button for 6 seconds.
- Reset: If the display shows "Disorder", press the down arrow for 2 seconds until the buzzer rings, then press the up arrow for 6 seconds until it rings again.
Electrical Requirements
- Ensure the required voltage is supplied at all times.
- Use a grounded, properly-sized electrical outlet with over-current protection.
- The unit should have its own dedicated outlet; do not use extension cords.
- Do not plug or unplug with wet hands.
- If unplugging, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging back in to prevent compressor damage.
Operation and Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures efficient operation:
- Loading: Do not block air vents. Ensure shelves are level and secured. Do not store flammable or explosive materials.
- Condenser Coil: Clean at least once per month to remove dust and lint. Use a commercial condenser coil cleaner.
- Fan Blades and Motor: Clean with a soft cloth. If washing, cover the motor to prevent moisture damage.
- Interior: Clean with warm water and mild soap. Do not use steel wool, caustic soap, or bleach.

Practical help
Common problems
Ensure the unit is installed on a strong, level surface.
Check for dust on the condenser coil, ensure proper ventilation clearance (6 inches), and verify the ambient temperature is not too high.
Perform a digital controller reset: press the down arrow for 2 seconds, then the up arrow for 6 seconds.
Always wait at least 10 minutes after unplugging the unit before plugging it back in.
Before use
- Let the unit stand upright for 24 hours if it was transported on its side.
- Ensure all shelves and shelf clips are installed.
- Verify the unit has reached the desired temperature before loading products.
- Ensure 6 inches of clearance on the sides and back.
- Verify the electrical outlet is grounded and dedicated.
Specs in practice
- Automatic Defrost
- Refrigeration coils are kept below freezing; the fan circulates air to melt accumulated frost, which then drains into an evaporator pan.
Images and diagrams
- The digital controller features buttons for temperature adjustment (up/down arrows), light control, and manual defrost.
- The base of the unit contains the air intake and hot air exhaust grates which must remain unobstructed.
Model compatibility
- Indoor use only.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Not for use in high humidity or dusty areas.
