General Information Preparing the Area Make sure that the opening area where the unit is to be installed is properly prepared. Ensure the space dimensions and electrical service are correct for the models to be installed. CAUTION If unit is being installed under a countertop, it is recommended that the countertop be supported by structure other than the refrigerated cabinet to prevent damage to the countertop. IMPORTANT: For a door to operate properly, the door must open a minimum of 94°. Use a minimum 3-inch filler in corner installations to assure a 94° door opening. Allow 24" clearance in front of the unit for full door swing, shelf pull-out or drawer pullout. IMPORTANT: Make sure the floor under the unit is level with the surrounding finished floor. Protect a finished floor with plywood, cardboard or some other suitable material before moving the unit into place. Failure to do this may result in damage to the floor. Floor must be level in area of installation. Leg levelers are used for fine-tune adjustment only and should not be be used to compensate for floor differences exceeding 1/2 inch. Preparing Electrical Connections All electrical instructions assume that outlet is located 4 to 10 inches from the floor. A 115 volt, 60Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and electrical supply are required. A separate circuit is required for each unit installed. Follow the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances when installing the receptacle. All units come equipped with a NEMA 5-15P 90° plug with a minimum of 5-feet of cord extending beyond the rear of the cabinet. The electrical outlet must be flush with or recessed into the back wall. IMPORTANT: Never use an extension cord to extend the power cord to the electrical receptacle. DANGER ELECTROCUTION HAZARD Electrical grounding required. This appliance is equipped with a three prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug. • Never use a two-prong grounding adapter. • Never use extension cord to connect power to the unit. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered or a longer power cord is required, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced in accordance with applicable electrical codes. DANGER Failure to comply with the above electrical guidelines may result in possible injury, death, fire or loss of property. 10 General Information Unpacking and Moving Unit CAUTION Do not cut cardboard sleeve covering the unit. Cutting may result in damage to the exterior of the cabinet. 1. Uncrate the unit outside on a flat level surface. Remove the cardboard sleeve by removing the banding holding the sleeve to the shipping base. Carefully lift the cardboard sleeve up over the top of the unit. 2. Carefully lift unit off base and onto a hand truck or dolly (this should be done with a minimum of two people; larger units may require additional help). Make sure unit is balanced on transporting device. Secure unit to transporting device using soft, flexible strapping. Protect unit surfaces with cloth material where strapping contacts unit. 3. Before moving unit, secure door to unit with tape so the door stays closed. 4. Carefully move unit to installation site and place in front of opening. Take care to protect floor surface with cardboard, rugs, etc. WARNING A minimum of two people should lift the unit at the base to prevent possible personal injury. 11
