GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on your purchase of the finest marine refrigeration system in the world.
Your Glacier Bay system has been carefully engineered to provide you with many years
of trouble-free, energy efficient operation. To take full advantage of your system's
advanced design it is important that the installation and adjustment procedures outlined
in this guide are carefully followed. Many owners choose to install their new Glacier Bay
system themselves rather than hire a professional. One advantage in doing so, in
addition to the obvious one of saving money, is that they will increase their familiarity
with the system's design and operation. Glacier Bay has kept the owner/installer in
mind when writing the Installation Manual. Those doing their own installation are likely to
find the process easier than they expected with only a minimal number of inexpensive
tools required.
Warranty Activation - The Glacier Bay “System Startup Form”
Included in the sleeve of this manual binder. Throughout this manual you will see certain items
identified as “(This is a Prestart Checkout Item)”. This identification denotes that this particular
installation point is included in the prestart checklist of the System Startup Form. While all
high-performance refrigeration systems have very similar installation and startup requirements, it
is a fact that installation quality can vary widely from installer to installer. It is in the best interest
of the end user, the installer and Glacier Bay to be certain that proper procedures are followed
during installation and system start-up. To this end we make the completion and submission of
our “System Startup Form” a requirement for warranty activation. This form must be
completed and returned to us within 15 days of system startup for your warranty to be
valid. For more information on your warranty, see the GLACIER BAY, INC. LIMITED THREE
YEAR WARRANTY on the following page.
A Note About Your HFC-404a System
WARNING - THIS SYSTEM IS PRE-CHARGED WITH 3.5 LBS OF REFRIGERANT.
DO NOT OPEN THE Rotalock VALVES UNTIL ALL TUBING IS ATTACHED, LEAK-
CHECKED AND FULLY EVACUATED.
Your Glacier Bay Micro HPS is designed to use HFC-404a refrigerant gas. The best
energy efficiency, overall performance and equipment life will be obtained by using
HFC-404a. The Dupont trade name for this gas is SUVA HP62. HFC-404a gas is the
industry standard non-ozone depleting replacement for R-502. It is very common in
commercial refrigeration applications. If are having trouble locating a source for
refrigerant try contacting a service company that specializes in commercial refrigeration.
The following refrigerants are very similar in performance and pressure and can be
substituted if the need arises.
R-502, R-507, Suva HP-80, Klea 407B
WARNING - DO NOT USE ANY REFRIGERANT WHICH IS NOT ON THE ABOVE
LIST. DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CAN RESULT IN
DANGEROUSLY HIGH PRESSURES.
