Installation (cont.)
LOCATION
Determine the highest point of the floor;cases will
be set off this point.
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% rela-
tive humidity.DO NOT allow air conditioning,electric fans,
ovens, open doors or windows (etc.) to create air cur-
rents around the merchandiser, as this will impair its cor-
rect 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, prepa-
ration and display, the temperature of the product must
be controlled to maximize life of the product.
2. Level and set the first case,carefully guiding the
electrical,regfrigeration and drain lines through the
parent case.Case must be raised under legs where
support is best to prevent damage to case.Internal
bracing may be removed at this time.
3. Set second case as close as possible to the first case
carefully guiding its electrical,refrigeration and drain
lines through the parent 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.
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!
5. Apply liberal bead of case joint sealant (butyl) to
dotted area shown in (Fig.2,#1) of first case. Apply
heavy amount to cover entire shaded area.
DO NOT USE PERMAGUM!
EXTERIOR LOADING
These models have not been structurally designed to sup-
port excessive external loading. Do not walk on their
tops; This could cause serious personal injury and dam-
age to the fixture.
SETTING AND JOINING
The case that the FMSS connects to (the parent case)
through the rear of the case must be leveled and set prior
to installing the FMSS.The sectional construction of these
models enable them to be joined in line - to give the effect
of one continuous display.A jointTrim Kit is supplied with
each case line to cosmetically“mask” the sectional joints.
See the“FinishingTouches” section for more information
on joint trim.
Fig. 2, #1
LEVELING
It is the contractor’s responsibility to install
case(s) according to local construction and
health codes.
IMPORTANT! It is imperative that cases be lev-
eled from front to back and side to side prior to
joining.A level case is necessary to insure proper
operation, water drainage, glass alignment, and
operation of the hinges supporting the glass.Lev-
eling the case correctly will solve most hinge op-
eration problems.
6. Slide second case up to first case snugly.Then level
second case to the first case so glass front,bumper
and top are flush.
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 carpenters 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.
Do not use the top bracket on the rear mullion
to pull the cases together.

Installation (cont.)
7. To compress silicone at joint,use two Jurgenson
wood clamps.Make sure case is level from front to
back and side to side on inside bulkheads at joint.
8. Attach sections together with the two 3/8” bolts
provided,below the deck at the mullion towards the
rear of the FMSS.Remove clamps.
9. Apply bead of silicone to top of bulkheads and slip
on stainless steel bulkhead cap. Also apply silicone
to seam between overhead light tubes.
(apply additional silicone if necessary).Remove tape
applied on line #3.
JOINT TRIM
After cases have been leveled and joined, and refrigera-
tion, electrical, and wasted piping work completed, install
the splashguards.Fasten along the top edge,or center,with
#10 X 3/3" sheet metal screws.
DO NOT SEAL JOINT TRIM TO FLOOR!
10. VERY IMPORTANT!Apply liberal amounts of
black silicone to fill all voids down to bulkhead.
Proper case-joint sealing is
extremely important to prevent
water leaks!
11.Use finger to smooth silicone as thin as possible at
masking tape on inside and outside of rear mullion
Plumbing
section.Never use two water seals in series in any
one line.Double P-traps in series will cause a lock
and prevent draining.
WASTE OUTLET AND P-TRAP
The waste outlet is located at the left hand end of these
fixtures allowing drip piping to be run under the fixture
lengthwise.
A 1" P-trap and threaded adapter are supplied with each
fixture.The P-trap must be installed to prevent air leakage
and insect entrance into the fixture.
3. Always provide as much down hill slope (“fall”) as
possible;1/8" per foot is the preferred minimum.
PVC pipe,when used,must be supported to main-
tain the 1/8" pitch and to prevent warping.
4. Avoid long runs of condensate drains.Long runs
make it impossible to provide the“fall” necessary for
good drainage.
5. Provide a suitable air break between the flood rim of
the floor drain and outlet of condensate drain. 1" is
ideal.
6. Prevent condensate drains from freezing:
a. Do not install condensate drains in contact with
non-insulated suction lines. Suction lines should be
insulated with a nonabsorbent insulation material
such asArmstrong’sArmaflex.
INSTALLING CONDENSATE DRAIN
Poorly or improperly installed condensate drains can se-
riously interfere with the operation of this refrigerator,
and result in costly maintenance and product losses.Please
follow the recommendations listed below when installing
condensate drains to insure a proper installation:
1. Never use pipe for condensate drains smaller than
the nominal diameter of the pipe or P-trap supplied
with the case.
2. When connecting condensate drains,the P-trap
must be used as part of the condensate drain to
prevent air leakage or insect entrance.Store plumb-
ing system floor drains should be at least 14" off the
center of the case to allow use of the P-trap pipe
b. Where condensate drains are located in dead air
spaces (between refrigerators or between a
refrigerator and a wall),provide means to prevent
freezing.The water seal should be insulated to
prevent condensation.

Refrigeration
REFRIGERANT TYPE
ELECTRONIC -The Electronic Expansion valve master and
slave cylinder(s) are located within the electrical access
panel(s).
The standard refrigerant will be R-404 unless otherwise
specified on the customer order. Check the serial plate
on the case for information.
Piping for more than one case on a condensing unit is run
underground with either common suction and liquid lines
from the machine room or individual suction and liquid
lines joined together in the machine room.
ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE (OPTIONAL)
A wide variety of electronic expansion valves and case
controllers can be utilized. Please refer to EEV and con-
troller manufacturers information sheet. Sensors for elec-
tronic expansion valves will be installed on the coil inlet,
coil outlet, and in the discharge air. (Some supermarkets
require a 4th sensor in the return air). Case controllers
will be located in the electrical raceway or under the case
REFRIGERATION LINES
LIQUID
SUCTION
3/8" O.D.
5/8" O.D.
NOTE: The standard coil is piped at 5/8" (suction); however,
the store tie-in may vary depending on the number of
coils and the draw the case has. Depending on the case
setup, the connecting point in the store may be
5/8", 7/8", or 11/8". Refer to the particular case you are
hooking up.
Refrigerant lines should be sized as shown on the refrig-
eration legend furnished by the store.
Install P-traps (oil traps) at the base of all suction line ver-
tical risers.
Pressure drop can rob the system of capacity.To keep the
pressure drop to a minimum, keep refrigerant line run as
short as possible, using the minimum number of elbows.
Where elbows are required, use long radius elbows only.
For refrigerators with KOOLGAS defrost, suction, and
liquid lines should not contact each other and should
be insulated for a minimum of 30' from the refrigera-
tor. Additional insulation for the balance of liquid and
suction lines is recommended and required wherever
condensation and dripping would be objectionable.
THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE LOCATION
This device is located on the same side as the refrigera-
tion stub. A balanced port expansion valve model is fur-
nished as standard equipment.
EXPANSION VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Expansion valves must be adjusted to fully feed the evapo-
rator. Before attempting any adjustments, make sure the
evaporator is either clear or very lightly covered with frost,
and that the fixture is within 10°F of its expected operat-
ing temperature.
MEASURING THE OPERATING SUPERHEAT
1. Determine the suction pressure with an accurate
pressure gauge at the evaporator outlet.
2. From a refrigerant pressure temperature chart,
determine the saturation temperature at the
observed suction pressure.
3. Measure the temperature of the suction gas at the
thermostatic remote bulb location.
4. Subtract the saturation temperature obtained in step
No.2 from the temperature measured in step No.3.
3. The difference is superheat.
CONTROL SETTINGS-Remote
See the “Case Specs” section of this guidebook for the
appropriate settings for your merchandiser.Maintain these
parameters to achieve near constant product tempera-
tures.Product temperature should be measured first thing
in the morning, after having been refrigerated overnight.
Defrost times should as directed in the Case Specifica-
tions section of this guide.The number of defrosts per day
should never change. The duration of the defrost cycle
may be adjusted to meet conditions present at your loca-
tion.
5. Set the superheat for 5°F - 7°F.
T-STAT LOCATION
Thermostats are located within the electrical raceway.The
raceway location is dependent on the style of the front
CONTROL SETTINGS-Self Contained
On Self Contained cases all functions, defroat, fans, tem-
perature are controlled by Pagon ERC-2 controller. See
case spects for proper temperature and defrost settings.

STOCKING
Set thermostat to cut in at 28° discharge air.Meat
holding box:32°.Meat prep room:55°.Meat bloom
box:36°.
Improper temperature and lighting will cause serious prod-
uct loss. Discoloration, dehydration and spoilage can be
controlled with proper use of the equipment and handling
of product. Product temperature should always be main-
tained at a constant and proper temperature.This means
that from the time the product is received, through stor-
age,preparation and display,the temperature of the prod-
uct must be controlled to maximize life of the product.
Hussmann cases were not designed to“heat up” or“cool
down” product—but rather to maintain an item’s proper
temperature for maximum shelf life.To achieve the pro-
tection required always:
1. Minimize processing time to avoid damaging tem-
perature rise to the product.Product should be at
proper temperature.
2. Keep the air in and around the case area free of
foreign gasses and fumes or food will rapidly dete-
riorate.
3. Maintain the display merchandisers temperature
controls as outlined in the refrigerator section of
this manual.
4. Do not place any product into these refrigerators
until all controls have been adjusted and they are
operating at the proper temperature.Allow mer-
chandiser to operate a minimum of 6 hours before
stocking with any product.
2. Temperature control should be by means of aT-Stat
and Suction Stop Solenoid at each case.Do not use
EPR valves,Liquid Line Solenoids or electronic
control devices of any kind,as these allow tempera-
ture swings causing dehydration and excessive
energy consumption.
CASE CLEANING
Long life and satisfactory performance of any equipment
are dependent upon the care given to it.To insure long life,
proper sanitation and minimum maintenance costs, the
refrigerator should be thoroughly cleaned frequently.SHUT
OFF FAN DURING CLEANING PROCESS. It can be un-
plugged within the case,or shut off case at the source.The
interior bottom may be cleaned with any domestic soap
or detergent based cleaners. Sanitizing solutions will not
harm the interior bottom,however,these solutions should
always be used according to Hussmann’s directions. It is
essential to establish and regulate cleaning procedures.This
will minimize bacteria causing discoloration which leads
to degraded product appearance and signifigantly short-
ening product shelf life.
5. When stocking,never allow the product to extend
beyond the recommended load limit. Air dis-
charge and return air flue must be unob-
structed at all times to provide proper refrig-
eration.
6. There are vents located at the base of the front of
the glass,just above the front rail.These vents supply
a continuous,gentle flow of air across the front glass
which inhibits condensation. Do not place any
signs or other restrictive objects on the front
of the refrigerator that will block these vents.
7. Keep the service doors closed (when applicable).
Refrigeration performance will be seriously affected
if left open for a prolonged period of time.
8. Avoid the use of supplemental flood or spot lighting.
Display light intensity has been designed for maxi-
mum visibility and product life at the factory.The use
of higher output fluorescent lamps (H.O.andV.H.O.),
will shorten the shelf life of the product.
CLEANING PRECAUTIONS
WHEN CLEANING:
• DO NOT USE HIGH PRESSURE WATER HOSES
• DO NOT INTRODUCE WATER FASTER THAN WASTE OUTLET CAN DRAIN
• NEVER ON A SELF CONTAINED UNIT WITH AN EVAPORATOR FAN
• NEVER USE A CLEANING OR SANITIZING SOLUTION THAT HAS AN OIL
BASE (these will dissolve the butyl sealants) or an AMMONIA BASE
(this will corrode the copper componets of the case)
TO PRESERVE THE ATTRACTIVE FINISH:
• DO USE WATER AND A MILD DETERGENT FOR THE EXTERIOR ONLY
• DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR STEEL WOOL SCOURING PADS
(these will mar the finish)
IMPORTANT STEPS
1. Do not set temperature too cold,as this causes
product dehydration.ProductTemperature:

IGSS-FMSS-0301
Soap and hot water are not enough to kill this bacteria. A
sanitizing solution must be included with each cleaning pro-
cess to eliminate this bacteria.
1. Scrub thoroughly,cleaning all surfaces,with soap and
hot water.
2. Rinse with hot water,but do not flood.
3. Apply the sanitizing solution according to Hussmann’s
directions.
PLEXIGLASS & ACRYLIC CARE
Improper cleaning not only acelerates the cleaning cycle
but also degrades the quality of this surface.Normal daily
buffing motions can generated static cling attracting dust
to the surface.Incorrect cleaning agents or cleaning cloths
can cause micro scratching of the surface,causing the plastic
to haze over time.
CLEANING
4. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Dry completely before resuming operation.
Hussmann recommends using a clean damp chamois, , or
a paper towel marketd as dust and abrasive free with 210®
Plastic Cleaner and Polish available by calling Sumner
Labs at 1-800-542-8656. Hard,rough cloths or paper tow-
els will scratch the acrylic and should not be used.
CLEANING GLASS & MIRRORS
Only use a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner for cleaning
any glass or mirrored components. Be sure to rinse and/
or dry completely.
Never use hot water on cold glass surfaces! It
may shatter and cause serious injury! Allow glass
surfaces to warm first.
ANTISTATIC COATINGS
The 210® has proven to be very effective in not only clean-
ing and polishing the Plexiglass surface, but also providing
anti-static and anti-fog capabilities.This product also seals
pores and provides a protective coating.
Maintenance
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS
COPPER COILS
The copper coils used in Hussmann merchandisers may
be repaired in the field. Materials are available from local
refrigeration wholesalers.
BEFORE SERVICING – Always disconnect
electrical power at the main disconnect when
servicing or replacing any electrical component
This includes (but not limited to) Fans, Heaters,
Thermostats, and Lights.
Hussmann recommends using #15 Sil-Fos for repairs.
TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
Before calling for service, check the following:
1. Check electrical power supply to the equipment for
connection.
REPLACING FLUORESCENT LAMPS
2. Check fixture loading.Overstocking case will affect
its proper operation.
3. If frost is collecting on fixture and/or product,check
that Humidity Control is working properly,and that
no outside doors or windows are open—allowing
moisture to enter store.
Fluorescent lamps are furnished with moisture resistant
lamp holders,shields and end caps.Whenever a florescent
lamp is replaced, be certain to reinstall the lamp shield
and end caps over the lamp.The lamps supplied are single
slim-line or bi-pin type with or without starters.

Appendices
APPENDIX A. – Temperature Guidlines
The refrigerators should be operated according to Hussmann’s
published engineering specifications for entering air temperatures for
specific equipment applications. Table 1 shows the typical temperature
of the air entering the food zone one hour before the start of defrost
and one hour after defrost for various categories of refrigerators.
Refer to Appendix C for Field Evaluation Guidelines.
insulated according to Hussmann’s recommendations.
1.3 A clogged waste outlet blocks refrigeration. The installer is
responsible for the proper installation of the system which
dispenses condensate waste through an air gap into the building
indirect waste system.
1.4 The installer should perform a complete start-up evaluation prior to
the loading of food into the refrigerator, which includes such items as:
a)Initial temperature performance, Coils should be properly fed with
a refrigerant according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
b)Observation of outside influences such as drafts, radiant
heating from the ceiling and from lamps. Such influence should
be properly corrected or compensated for.
c) At the same time, checks should be made of the store dry-
bulb and wet-bulb temperatures to ascertain that they are
within the limits prescribed by Hussmann.

1.0 The most consistent indicator of display refrigerator performance
is temperature of the air entering the product zone (see
Appendix A). In practical use, the precise determination of return
air temperature is extremely difficult. Readings of return air
temperatures will be variable and results will be inconsistent. The
product temperature alone is not an indicator of refrigerator
performance.

NOTE: Public Health will use the temperature of the product in
determining if the refrigerator will be allowed to display potentially
hazardous food. For the purpose of this evaluation, product
temperature above the FDA Food Code 1993 temperature for
potentially hazardous food will be the first indication that an
evaluation should be performed. It is expected that all refrigerators
will keep food at the FDA Food Code 1993 temperature for potentially
hazardous food.

the display or storage area, and not more than 1 inch away
from the surface and in the center of the discharge opening.
c) READING – It should first be determined that the refrigerator
is refrigerating and has operated at least one hour since the
end of the last defrost period. The thermometer reading should
be made only after it has been allowed to stabilize, i.e.,
maintain a constant reading.
d) OTHER OBSERVATIONS – Other observations should be made
which may indicate operating problems, such as unsatisfactory
product, feel/appearance.
e) CONCLUSIONS – In the absence of any apparent undesirable
conditions, the refrigerator should be judged to be operating
properly. If it is determined that such condition is undesirable,
i.e., the product is above proper temperature, checks should be
made for the following:
APPENDIX D. – Recommendations to user
1.0 Hussmann should provide instructions and recommendations for
proper periodic cleaning. The user will be responsible for such
cleaning, including the cleaning of low temperature equipment within
the compartment and the cooling coil area(s). Cleaning practices,
particularly with respect to proper refrigerator unloading and warm-
up, must be in accordance with applicable recommendations.
1.1 Cleaning of non frozen food equipment should include a weekly cleaning
of the food compartment as a minimum to prevent bacteria growth from
accumulating.Actualuseandproductsmaydictatemorefrequentcleaning.

of cleaning the display areas. Weekly washing down of the storage
compartment is also recommended, especially for equipment subject to
drippage of milk or other liquids, or the collection of vegetable, meat,
crumbs, etc. or other debris or litter. Daily cleaning of the external areas
surroundingthestorageordisplaycompartmentswithdetergentandwater
will keep the equipment presentable and prevent grime buildup.
1. Has the refrigerator been loaded with warm product?
2. Is the product loaded beyond the “Safe Load Line” markers?
3. Are the return air ducts blocked?
4. Are the entering air ducts blocked?
1.2 Load levels as defined by Hussmann must be observed.
1.3 The best preservation is achieved by following these rules:
5. Is a dumped display causing turbulent air flow and mixing with room air?
6. Are spotlights or other high intensity lighting directed onto the
product?
7. Are there unusual draft conditions (from heating /air-conditioning
ducts, open doors, etc.)?
8. Is there exposure to direct sunlight?
8. Are display signs blocking or diverting airflow?
9. Are the coils of the refrigerator iced up?
a) Buy quality products.
b) Receive perishables from transit equipment at the ideal temperature
for the particular product.
c) Expedite perishables to the store’s storage equipment to avoid
unnecessary warm-up and prolonged temperature recovery. Food
store refrigerators are not food chillers nor can they reclaim quality
lost through previous mishandling.
d) Care must be taken when cross merchandising products to ensure
that potentially hazardous vegetable products are not placed in non
refrigerated areas.
e) Display and storage equipment doors should be kept closed during
periods of inactivity.
f) Minimize the transfer time of perishables from storage to display.
g) Keep meat under refrigeration in meat cutting and processing area
except for the few moments it is being handled in processing. When
a cut or tray of meat is not to be worked on immediately, the
procedure should call for returning it to refrigeration.
h) Keep tools clean and sanitized. Since mechanical equipment is used
for fresh meat processing, all such equipment should be cleaned at
least daily and each time a different kind of meat product comes
in contact with the tool or equipment.
11. Is the store ambient over 75°F, 55% RH as set forth in ASHRAE
Standard 72 and ASHRAE Standard 117?
12. Are the shelf positions, number, and size other than recom-
mended by Hussmann?
13. Is there an improper application or control system?
14. Is the evaporator fan motor/blade inoperative?
15. Is the defrost time excessive?
16. Is the defrost termination, thermostat (if used) set too high?
17. Are the refrigerant controls incorrectly adjusted?
18. Is the air entering the condenser above design conditions? Are
the condenser fins clear of dirt, dust, etc.?
19. Is there a shortage of refrigerant?
20. Has the equipment been modified to use replacements for CFC-12,
CFC-502 or other refrigerant? If so, have the modifications been
made in accordance with the recommendations of the equipment
i) Make sure that all refrigeration equipment is installed and adjusted
in strict accordance with Hussmann’s recommendations.
j) See that all storage and refrigeration equipment is kept in proper
working order by routine maintenance.
