INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Master-Bilt cabinet. This manual contains important instructions for installing,
using and servicing a Master-Bilt GT case. A parts list is included in with this manual. Read all these
documents carefully before installing or servicing your equipment.
STORE CONDITIONS
The Master-Bilt GT cases are designed to operate in the controlled environment of an air-conditioned store.
The store temperature should be at or below 75°F and a relative humidity of 55% or less. At higher
temperature or humidity conditions, the performance of these cases may be affected and the capacity
diminished. It is not uncommon in a newly constructed store for the temperature and humidity to be above
design conditions. These excessive conditions may produce sweating in the case until the store is operational
and the ambient environment is more desirable.
The Master-Bilt GT should not be positioned where it is directly exposed to rays of sun or near a direct source
of radiant heat or airflow. This will adversely affect the case and will result in poor performance.
The Master-Bilt GT cabinets may be placed directly against the wall. This is due to the cabinet’s condenser
cooling air entering and discharging through the front grille.
NOTICE
Read this manual before installing your cabinet. Keep the manual and refer to it before doing any
service on the equipment. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or damage to the cabinet.
DANGER
Improper or faulty hook-up of electrical components of the refrigeration units can result in severe
injury or death.
All electrical wiring hook-ups must be done in accordance with all applicable local, regional or national
standards.
NOTICE
Installation and service of the refrigeration and electrical components of the cabinet must be
performed by a refrigeration mechanic and/or a licensed electrician.
The portions of this manual covering refrigeration and electrical components contain technical instructions
intended only for persons qualified to perform refrigeration and electrical work. This manual cannot cover
every installation, use or service situation. If you need additional information have the serial number at hand
and call or write us:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Be sure the equipment is properly installed by competent service people.
2. Keep the equipment clean and sanitary so it will meet your local sanitation codes.
3. Rotate your stock so that older stock does not accumulate. This is especially important for ice
cream. A "First-In, First-Out" rotation practice will keep the products in good sellable condition.
4. Do not place product in the case when it is soft or partially thawed. Also, product should not be put in the
case for at least 6 hours after it is started.
5. Stock cases as quickly as possible, exposing only small quantities to store temperatures for short periods of
time.
6. When replacing burned out fluorescent tubes, be sure that the electrical power to the lighting circuit is
turned off.
NOTICE TO STORE OWNERS / MANAGERS
Moisture or liquid around or under the cabinet is a potential slip/fall hazard for persons walking by or
working in the general area of the cabinet. Any cabinet malfunction or housekeeping problem that
creates a slip/fall hazard around or under the cabinet should be corrected immediately.
If moisture or liquid is observed around or under a Master-Bilt cabinet, an immediate investigation should be
made by qualified personnel to determine the source of the moisture or liquid. The investigation should
determine if the cabinet is malfunctioning or if there is a drainpipe leaking.
ELECTRICAL
WARNING
Before servicing electrical components in the case, make sure all power to case is off. Always use a
qualified technician.
ELECTRICAL INFROMATION AND GROUNDING
A separate circuit for each cabinet is recommeded to avoid the possibility of other appliances on a
circuit to one of these cabinets overloading that circuit and causing malfunction. The electrical service
should be grounded upon installation.
MECHANICAL
LEVELING CABINET
Level the cabinet so as to insure proper drainage of the drain pan and proper operation of the lids and
refrigeration system. The GT cabinet condenser has cooling air entering and discharging through the front
grille. This allows the cabinet to be placed against a wall or solid object without blocking the flow of condenser
air.

To comply with Sanitation requirements, the cabinet must be mounted on legs (6” high minumum) or the base
must be sealed to the floor using N.S.F. listed RTV silicone sealant. Minimum clearance as follows: 0” rear
and side, top and front are open required for compliance.
GRILLE REMOVAL AND COMPRESSOR CHECK
Remove grille and check refrigeration lines to see that they are free (not touching each other or
compressor). Spin condenser fan blade to see that it is free.
Check that all service valves (2) are open (if equipped). The compressor is hermetic, it is internally spring
mounted and ready to run.
Hermetic Compressor
STARTUP
FAN OPERATION AND VIBRATION; VOLTAGE CHECK
Uncoil the lead cord and pass it through the hole provided in the cover. While the cabinet is in operation, check
the voltage draw and the amperage draw versus this rating on the nameplate. Check for fan noise and
vibration, while the fan is running. Voltage should be checked at the compressor terminals while the
compressor is initially starting. The unit is designed to operate at +/- 10% of 115 volts, 60 cycle, single phase.
This means that the voltage should be between 103 and 126.5 volts.
THEROMSTAT CHECK
After the cabinet has pulled down in temperature to approximately 0°F at load line, check the thermostatic
control by turning it to its warmest position. This should shut the compressor off. Also check that the main
double-pole double throw toggle switch turns the refrigeration system and cabinet lights. A separate circuit for
each cabinet is recommended to avoid the possibility of other appliances on a circuit overloading the circuit and
causing a malfunction. Make sure that the electrical service is grounded upon installation.
DEFROST AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL SETTINGS
The GT cabinet has a temperature control that is adjustable from #1
(warmest setting) to #9 (coldest setting). Turn the control knob in
line with the punch mark to the desired setting. The temperature
control is located near the condensing unit at the bottom of the
cabinet.

30 Hour Dial
The unit defrost is controlled by a timer in the control
box. After removing the condenser grille, the control
box will slide out until the defrost timer is visible. The
factory set defrost is two times in 24 hours with a
maximum timed interval of 30 minutes. The unit
contains a defrost termination sensor so in actual use
the defrost time will be less than 30 minutes in most
cases. The timer can be converted to operate for a
timed defrost termination by disconnecting the
blue/white from the X terminal. NOTE: When
disconnected, it is recommended that the terminal be
cut off of the blue/white wire and the wire end be capped
with a wire nut.
Pointer
The defrost time is set by switching a white key from the
center to the outside edge of the dial. Each key is 15
minutes so two successive keys must be switched
outward for a 30 minute maximum time defrost. If it is
noted that more defrost time is needed, then switch
outward the third successive key for a 45-minute
maximum timed defrost. If another defrost in 24 hours
is needed then more keys can be switched outward as needed.
If possible, try to keep defrosts evenly spaced in
a 24 hour period.
30 Hour Dial
The current time can be set by turning the outer dial in the direction of the arrow until the correct clock time is
shown and the small arrow aligns with either the AM or PM scale.
NOTE: The cabinet serial number for the GT is on the data plate located on the end opposite the
condensing unit.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM AND OPERATION
The cabinet utilizes a Hermetic compressor and operates with refrigerant 404A. Cabinet operates on 115/60/1
power. The cabinet has a bare tube type condenser, which virtually eliminates the possibility of condenser
blockage by dust and dirt.
The cabinet operates with a specific charge of refrigerant 404A. The amount of the charge of refrigerant is
listed on the cabinet nameplate in ounces. These systems use one or two captubes to meter refrigerant to the
evaporator. They include automatic electric defrost systems which are time initiated (by the timeclock) and
terminated by a defost termination thermostat which is mounted on a coil supporting bracket in the gravity coil
section directly beneath the top of the cabinet. This defrost termination overrides the time clock and turns the
compressor back on line when the gravity coil is defrosted. This is the point at which the coil has reached
sufficient temperature to incure complete defrost. If the defrost termination control should fail to operate, the
time clock will automatically turn off defrost and again turn on the compressor after the 34 minute (or the time
interval you selected) interval set on the time clock. If the time clock fails to turn the heaters off, a final back-up
safety thermostat will shut off the heaters when gravity coil temperature reaches +80 oF.
Cabinet has a refrigeration system known as automatic defrost gravity coil with cold wall construction. This
means the inner liner of the cabinet below the load level line is refrigerated by gravity flow of air from a fin and
tube coil, as well as copper refrigerant lines attached to the back of the inner liner tank on all sides and the
bottom.

CLEANING
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE FROST WITH A KNIFE, PICK, OR SHARP OBJECTS. DO NOT USE
ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR CAUSTIC CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS
Every 30 to 60 days (depending on frost accumulation), the cabinet should be emptied, warmed up, and wiped
down using a solution of 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 quart of water. This solution will help eliminate
odors. Do not use strong soaps or detergents as they leave odors that can contaminate your product. The GT
line cabinets are equipped with a floor drain that exits out the lower rear of the cabinet. This exit has a
convenient garden hose fitting.
If it is not convenient to turn the power off the cabinet, lay a piece of plastic sheeting on the floor of the cabinet
and scrape the frost off walls using a plastic scraper. Do not use metal scrapers. This will damage the interior
paint of the cabinet.
