IKON IB27R 26.8" Reach-In Refrigerator with 18.1 cu. ft. Specifications
Shipping
IKON equipment is fulfilled for the Canadian market primarily through the MVP Group distribution center in Montreal. As a high-volume stock brand, IKON maintains a significant inventory of standard reach-ins, prep tables, and gas ranges to ensure consistent availability for the Canadian food service industry.
- Fulfillment Hub: The Montreal warehouse serves as the main point of origin for national distribution. While orders are centralized there, regional delivery for Ontario and Western Canada is coordinated through specialized LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight partners to ensure reach into major markets like Mississauga and Calgary.
- Lead Times: Standard in-stock items are generally processed and dispatched within 1 to 3 business days. For large-volume project orders or specialized units not currently in domestic stock, lead times for factory replenishment generally range from 6 to 10 weeks.
- Logistics and Packaging: Because refrigeration units contain sensitive compressors and cooking equipment features heavy cast-iron components, all units are professionally crated and secured to reinforced skids.
- Inspection Requirement: A thorough visual inspection is mandatory upon delivery. Any transit-related damage—such as structural misalignment, dented stainless steel, or compromised glass—must be documented on the carrier's bill of lading immediately. Omcan and MVP Group typically require notification of concealed damage within 24 to 48 hours to preserve freight claim rights.
Warranty
IKON provides a tiered manufacturer warranty that is among the most competitive in the value-equipment segment, specifically tailored to the Canadian commercial environment.
- Refrigeration Coverage: Most new IKON refrigeration units (reach-ins, prep tables, and undercounters) carry a 2-year limited parts and labour warranty from the date of original purchase.
- Compressor Protection: The sealed refrigeration system features an additional 3-year warranty on the compressor part, providing a total of 5 years of coverage for the unit's most critical mechanical component.
- Cooking Equipment: IKON gas cooking appliances, such as ranges, charbroilers, and fryers, typically carry a 1-year limited parts and labour warranty.
- Fryer Tank Extension: For the IGF series gas fryers, an additional limited warranty often applies to the stainless steel fry tank if a leak occurs due to a manufacturing defect within the first two years.
- Warranty Fulfillment: All warranty service in Canada must be pre-authorized and arranged through the MVP Group service department in Montreal.
Service & Support
Technical support for IKON is centralized to ensure consistency in repair standards and parts availability across all provinces.
- Authorized Technicians: Repairs and warranty work are performed by a national network of factory-authorized service providers. These technicians are trained in IKON’s specific gas valve configurations and digital refrigeration controllers.
- Parts Availability: A comprehensive inventory of genuine OEM replacement parts—including fan motors, thermostats, burners, and pilot assemblies—is maintained at the Montreal distribution hub to ensure rapid turnarounds for Canadian operators.
- Technical Support: MVP Group provides direct technical assistance to help facility managers troubleshoot basic operational issues or confirm installation requirements for gas and electrical connections.
Exceptions and Exclusions
To maintain the validity of the warranty, the equipment must be operated and maintained according to professional commercial standards.
- Maintenance Requirements: Failure to clean the condenser coils every 30 to 60 days is the primary cause of compressor failure and is not covered by the warranty. Similarly, the buildup of carbon or grease on gas burners that leads to failure is considered a maintenance issue.
- Improper Installation: Failures caused by incorrect gas pressure, improper gas type conversion, or incorrect electrical voltage are explicitly excluded. Installation by a licensed professional is mandatory for warranty validity.
- Environmental Factors: Operating refrigeration equipment in ambient temperatures exceeding 100°F (38°C) or in areas with inadequate ventilation/clearance will void the performance guarantee.
- Consumables: Wearable items such as light bulbs, door gaskets, and shelf clips are classified as maintenance items and are typically limited to a 90-day warranty period for manufacturing defects only.
- Non-Commercial Use: The warranty is void if the equipment is installed in a residential or non-commercial application (e.g., home use or a mobile food truck unless specifically rated for such).
- Freight Damage: Any damage sustained during transportation is a freight matter. Visible damage must be documented with the carrier at the time of delivery to facilitate a claim with the logistics provider.
