INSTALLATION
UNCRATING – Move your refrigerator as close to the final location
as possible before unpacking. Remove the wooden planks or
skid. The location should be as close as possible to the power
outlet so an extension cord is not needed. This unit requires a
minimum of 4 inches of air flow space in back and 3 inches on
the sides and top. Do not store material on the top of this
unit.
PLEASE NOTE! Your refrigerator or freezer is designed
for INDOOR USE and should be operated in an air conditioned
space with temperature between 65°F to 85°F.
LEVELING You can level your unit with the screw‐type adjustable leveling legs on the front
corners of the unit. Turn counterclockwise to raise the corner; turn clockwise to lower it.
Leveling legs are required in front only. Unit may have a slight tilt from front to back after
legs are installed. This is acceptable and is recommended on this unit.
POWER SOURCE – This unit is equipped with 18 IN FACTORY SEALED WIRING. THESE WIRES
MUST BE HARD WIRED THROUGH SEALED CONDUIT TO THE POWER SOURCE PER NFPA AND
NEC. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY MORE THAN 5% FROM SERIAL PLATE RATINGS.
PROTECT THE CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP DELAY‐TYPE FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER.
STARTING – There are no compressor shipping bolts to loosen or valves to open. All that is
necessary after the unit has been properly connected and leveled is to energize the circuit.
When starting this new appliance, allow the cabinet to operate a minimum of eight hours,
or until it has started cycling normally, before placing product in the cabinet. The motor
compressor may start and stop several times when the unit is first started or after
defrosting, especially if the weather is very hot. This is normal operation of the motor
overload protector. The motor compressor will cycle normally as soon as the excess heat
has been removed.
