SAFETY

NOTICE

All models covered in this manual are manufactured using refrigerant R600a (Isobutane). R600a is a hydrocarbon. This refrigerant is flammable and is only allowed for use in appliances which fulfill the requirements of UL/IEC 60335-1 and UL/IEC 60335-2-24 (To cover potential risk originated from the use of flammable refrigerants). Consequently, R600a is only allowed to be used in refrigerating appliances which are designed for this refrigerant and fulfill the above-mentioned standard.

• R600a is heavier than air. The concentration will always be highest at the floor level.

• The explosion limits are as follows:

o Lower Limit: 1.8% by volume o Upper Limit: 8.4% by volume o Ignition Temperature: 860ºF [460°C]

PLUMBINGPLUMBING

No plumbing connections are required. Condensate from the cooling coil is automatically evaporated through a condensate pan located in the condensing section of the unit.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Disconnect power before installing or servicing appliance. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

ELECTRICAL GROUNDINGELECTRICAL GROUNDING

• This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock in the event of a short circuit.

• DO NOT ground to a gas pipe.

• DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.

• DO NOT have a fuse in the NEUTRAL or GROUNDING circuit. A fuse in

the NEUTRAL or GROUNDING circuit could result in an electrical shock.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLYELECTRICAL SUPPLY

A 115 volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp circuit breaker and electrical supply is required. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit must be used when installed outdoors.

This appliance is NOT designed for installation in manufactured (mobile) homes or recreational park trailers.

All units are provided with a 5 ft [1.5 m] cord with three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected to a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician. The receptacle must be flush or recessed into the wall surface behind the unit.

• Never remove the grounding prong from this plug.

• Never use a 2-prong adapter.

• If a 2-prong receptacle is encountered, or a longer power cord is required, contract a qualified

electrician to have it replaced in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

Inspect the electrical cord and plug for damage prior to energizing the unit to

avoid potential electric shock.

The unit must NOT be totally enclosed or damage may occur. Air circulation must not be restricted. The condenser at the cabinet front must be provided with a minimum of

2” [5 cm] air space. Be sure to provide access so the front cover can be removed to clean the condenser.

Do not attempt to operate the equipment on any power source / voltage other than that listed on the Electrical Specification Plate attached to the unit.

Do not store flammable liquids (i.e. Gasoline or Lighter Fluid) or vapors near the

appliance to avoid a fire.

ADDITIONAL GENERAL INFORMATIONADDITIONAL GENERAL INFORMATION

All electrical instructions assume the outlet is located 4 - 10” [10 - 25 cm] above the floor surface. Floor must be level in the area of installation. Leg levelers are used for fine-tune adjustment only and

should not be used to compensate for floor differences exceeding 1/2” [13 mm].

CABINET INSTALLATION

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION - FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT USED.

Use caution when handling, moving and using the product to avoid damaging

the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

CASTER KIT (OPTIONAL)CASTER KIT (OPTIONAL)

A Caster Kit (AGCK24) is available for Hestan undercounter refrigeration models. Refer to the instructions supplied with the caster kit for proper installation.

Note: Installation of the kit adds 3.75” [9.5 cm] to overall height of the unit.

ANTI-TIP BRACKETSANTI-TIP BRACKETS

Unit may tip forward if loaded racks/shelves are all pulled out at the same time. To prevent tipping, and to provide stable installation, the unit must be secured in place with the anti-tip brackets supplied with the unit. The anti-tip brackets, when properly installed, should secure the rear legs/ glides to the mounting surface and prevent the unit from tipping forward.

Anti-tip brackets are only used for stationary cabinets and should not be installed on cabinets with accessory casters.

If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required and not included with the anti-tip kit.

Some installation sites may require modifications to provide a secure surface for attaching the brackets.

A set of anti-tip brackets is supplied with the unit. These brackets should be attached to the floor at the rear of the unit. Each bracket must be located to engage the rear legs when the cabinet is pushed back into position. Refer to Figure 1 (shown below) for anti-tip bracket mounting locations.

PREPARING THE SPACEPREPARING THE SPACE

If the unit is to be installed under a countertop, it is recommended that the countertop be supported by a structure other than the unit itself to prevent damage to the unit.

Figure 1. 24” Anti-Tip Kit

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.

NOTICE

when fully extended.

(continued)

To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be allowed to circulate through the machinery compartment. Do not place anything in front of the unit that would obstruct air flow at these front grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.

Cabinet should be leveled front to back, then side to side.

1. Make sure the space opening is correctly sized for the unit. See typical appliance dimensions

below, and the chart below for finished rough opening requirements:

2. Check that the following are level and square:

• Front and interior opening

• Installation opening and floor surface

• Countertop bottom front edge

NOTE: For a door to open properly, the door must open a minimum of 90°. Use a minimum 3” [7.6 cm] filler in corner installations to assure a full 90° opening. Allow 25” [64 cm] clearance in front of unit for full door swing and shelf/drawer pull out.

NOTE: The floor under the unit must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor.

CABINET INSTALLATION

To prevent possible damage to the countertop, do not place heavy objects on countertop directly over unit.

INSTALLING THE UNIT INTO THE SPACEINSTALLING THE UNIT INTO THE SPACE

1. Plug the unit into the 15 amp grounded electrical outlet located within the installation opening. With power applied to the unit, check that the lighting and cooling functions operate properly. Turn off the power to the wall outlet at the circuit breaker.

2. With all surfaces in the installation opening square and level, refer to Figure 2 below and perform the following steps to level the unit:

• At the front of the opening, measure from the floor to the bottom of the front edge of the

countertop.

• Measure from the floor surface to the top of the unit at the rear corners.

• Adjust the unit legs so these two measurements are equal. Using an adjustable wrench or

pliers, turn legs clockwise to lower the unit or counterclockwise to raise it.

NOTE: Legs should not extend more than 3/4” [19 mm] from the bottom of the unit.

3. Slide the unit into position in the opening. Make sure the rear leveling legs slide under the anttip brackets. Push the unit into the opening until the bottom front edge of the unit is flush with the surrounding cabinetry, or until the rear legs are tight against the anti-tip brackets.

4. Shim the front of the unit so the front face is flush with the surrounding cabinetry. Adjust the front legs to support the countertop at the shimmed height. Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn the legs clockwise to lower the unit or counterclockwise to raise it. Countertop should be resting on top of the unit.

NOTE: Countertop should be resting evenly on entire top of the unit. Shim if necessary to prevent damage to the countertop.

5. Check interior door openings to make sure the unit is level and square. Install shelving and/or drawers. For drawer units, place the slide brackets squarely into the bracket grooves. When installed properly, a “click” should be heard from the slide bracket retaining tabs and the brackets should slide smoothly. The retaining tabs will stop the shelf/drawer when pulled out to full extension.

6. Turn on the power to the wall outlet at the circuit breaker.

NOTE: Improper shelf/drawer installation may not actuate slide mechanism.

Measure front of opening from floor surface to bottom edge of countertop.

Measure at both rear corners of unit from floor surface to bottom of countertop.
