5. Take hold of the end of each lifting rod and rotate
each approximately 90-degrees upward so that
they are nominally vertical (Figure 3.) The car-
tridge should be disengaged from the cabinet and
resting on the base of the cabinet assembly. Han-
dling holes are located on either side of the car-
tridge near the top and along the side of the
cartridge (Figure 4). Grasp the cartridge by these
holes and slide the unit forward from the cabinet
until the cartridge is free. Use caution to ensure
that power and electrical cords do not get pinched
between the cartridge and cabinet while removing
cartridge.

To achieve proper lamp engagement, rotate the lamp
90 degrees from its insertion position until it snaps or
clicks into place.
On units without safety shields, visually verify proper
lamp installation by checking the identification mark
on the end of the bulb. If the bulb has been properly
installed, the mark will be centered between the
“halves” of the lamp holder. Refer to Figure 7.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
„ BI-PIN FLUORESCENT LAMP INSTALLATION/
VERIFICATION — Before applying power to the unit,
verify that all lamps have been properly installed and
are fully engaged in the lamp holders. Sizes 750L,
1100L, and 1300L have 2 lamps, one in the signboard
and one inside the cooler. Sizes 260L and 300L have
one lamp inside the cooler.
On units with safety shields, the identification mark
cannot be seen. (See Figure 8.) Verify manually that
the lamp has been rotated and locked into place.
Improperly installed lamps may cause damage to
the lighting circuit. Carrier will not be responsible
for equipment or component failures or other dam-
ages or losses that arise as a result of improper lamp
installation.

„ ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS —
Check to be sure that the electrical service to the unit
meets all local and national electrical codes. Unit elec-
trical data is shown in the unit data label, located on
the inside of the cabinet in the upper lefthand corner.
Review this label before initiating electrical service.
Voltage range of power supply to unit should be 105 to
125 volts. Refer to Table 2 for unit data.
INITIAL START-UP
„ POWER SUPPLY — Connect unit to power supply.
On sizes 1100L and 1300L, turn disconnect switch to
the ON position. Check to verify that the compressor,
lamp, and fans are running.
IMPORTANT: Low line voltage is often the cause of
service complaints. Check to see that the line volt-
age is within specified range with the unit running.
NOTE: Other motors or heavy appliances should not
be used on the same circuit with the cooler.
See Figure 1 for location of service cord.
„ TEMPERATURE CONTROL — The temperature
control knob is located in the front power panel. See
Figure 9. Unit is factory set at the number 4 position
(normal), which will maintain the product at approxi-
mately 38 F. For colder temperature, turn the black
adjustment knob to a higher setting. Adjust tempera-
ture control in small increments, one position at a
time.
Before servicing unit, disconnect electrical service.
On sizes 1100L and 1300L, turn disconnect switch
(located on power cord) to the OFF position. Failure
to disconnect electrical service could result in elec-
trical shock and cause personal injury or death.
Allow 24 hours between temperature control adjust-
ments. Excessive tampering with temperature con-
trol could lead to service difficulties.
If an extension cord is necessary, use only three-
wire grounding type. The use of ungrounded cords or
overloaded circuit voids compressor warranty.
NOTE: For operation above 3,000-ft altitude, ther-
mostat should be adjusted by a qualified service
technician.

SERVICE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
„ CARTRIDGE REMOVAL
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
SERVICE
COMPONENTS
The Carrier Miracool™ refrigeration system consists
of a hermetically sealed compressor and finned evapo-
rator and condenser coils.
Before servicing unit, disconnect electrical service.
On sizes 1100L and 1300L, turn disconnect switch
(located on power cord) to the OFF position. Failure
to disconnect electrical service could result in elec-
trical shock and cause personal injury or death.
„ CONDENSER — The condenser has wide finned
spaces, which allow more air passage with less dirt or
dust accumulation. The condenser still requires peri-
odic cleaning for maximum efficiency.
1. After disconnecting the unit from the power
supply, remove the grille retaining screw located
in the upper-most part of the grille. (See Figure 1.)
„ CONDENSER FAN MOTOR — The condenser fan
motor assembly is mounted between the condenser
and the compressor. Air is drawn through the con-
denser, over the body of the compressor and out the
rear of the unit compartment.
The motor is wired to cycle with the compressor but
will continue to operate should the compressor cut out
on the overload. (The motor is permanently lubricated;
therefore, oiling is not required.)
2. Lift the grille up and away from the unit.
3. Unplug the power supply and lighting supply
cords located in the front of the cartridge
(Figure 2).
4. Using a pair of wire cutters, cut wire tie that
secures lifting rods at center of front base rail.
(See Figure 2.)
5. Take hold of the end of each lifting rod and rotate
each approximately 90-degrees upward so that
they are nominally vertical (Figure 3). The car-
tridge should be disengaged from the cabinet and
resting on the base of the cabinet assembly. Han-
dling holes are located on either side of the car-
tridge near the top and along the side of the
cartridge (Figure 4). Grasp the cartridge by these
holes and slide the unit forward from the cabinet
until it is free. Use caution to ensure that power
and electrical cords do not get pinched between
the cartridge and cabinet while removing
cartridge.
„ DRIER — The drier is installed in the system just
before the capillary tube. The drier traps minute parti-
cles of foreign material and absorbs any moisture in
the system.
„ LIQUID CONTROL AND HEAT EXCHANGER —
Liquid refrigerant control to the evaporator of the
system is accomplished by the use of a capillary tube.
This capillary tube is soldered to the suction line to
form a heat exchanger, which subcools the liquid
refrigerant to maintain high efficiency within the
system.
Before servicing unit, disconnect electrical service.
On sizes 1100L and 1300L, turn disconnect switch
(located on power cord) to the OFF position. Failure
to disconnect electrical service could result in elec-
trical shock and cause personal injury or death.
8
„ EVAPORATOR COMPARTMENT (Interior top area)
— All serviceable parts are directly accessible from the
top of the cartridge compartment.
„ CHARGING REFRIGERATION SYSTEM — Refer to
Table 2 for refrigerant type and amount of charge.
Since capillary tube systems have small critical refrig-
erant charges, it is recommended that a field charge
either be weighed in or transferred from a portable
charging cylinder. After maximum vacuum has been
obtained as detailed above, attach charging cylinder to
the system line making sure to purge air from hose
with refrigerant. With the unit running, allow refrig-
erant to run slowly into the system until the desired
charge is reached. When using refrigerant blends it is
recommended to charge into the high side of the sys-
tem with the initial charge and then add any remain-
ing charge into the suction side; however, care must
be taken to meter the remaining amount into the
low side so that excess liquid does not enter the
compressor.
„ COMPRESSOR COMPARTMENT (Bottom rear
area) — Access to compressor compartment requires
removal of the side panel of the cartridge. Condenser
fan access also requires removal of a side panel. Side
panels are secured with 5 Phillips screws. After tubing
and electrical connections are removed, compressor
replacement requires removal of four clips securing
compressor to the base.
Before servicing unit, disconnect electrical service.
On sizes 1100L and 1300L, turn disconnect switch
(located on power cord) to the OFF position. Failure
to disconnect electrical service could result in elec-
trical shock and cause personal injury or death.
„ TROUBLESHOOTING — Refer to Table 3 and
Figures 10-12.
„ EVACUATION — Moisture in a refrigeration system
may affect performance.
When large amounts of moisture are present, system
freeze ups will occur. Even in minute amounts, mois-
ture will combine with refrigerants to form an acid.
The corrosive action of this acid forms sludge, which
will plug the lines and drier.
Since most field type vacuum pumps cannot pull a low
enough vacuum to remove all moisture from the sys-
tem, it is recommended that the system be triple evac-
uated, breaking each time with dry refrigerant
nitrogen. Use care to purge air from the charging hose
when breaking the vacuum.
