PRIOR TO INSTALLATIONPRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Carefully inspect cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is company discovered,
file your claim immediately with the transport company. Hestan is not responsible for damage in
transit.
When moving the unit, be sure to protect finished flooring with appropriate material to avoid
damage from moving the unit.
Do not lift unit by drawer, shelving or door handles, as damage to the unit could occur if not
moved as instructed.
To prevent personal injury, a minimum of two people are required to lift the unit. Larger units may
require additional personnel.
Before moving the unit, secure the door shut with tape to prevent door from swinging open while
being moved. Carefully move unit to installation site and place in front of opening.
If unit has been laid on its back or sides, place unit upright and allow a minimum of 24 hours before
connecting power.
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.
EN
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.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
• 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.
Do not attempt to operate the equipment on any other power source than that listed on the
Electrical Specification Plate attached to the unit.
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 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].
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.
NOTE: Anti-tip brackets are only used for stationary cabinets and should not be installed on
cabinets with accessory casters. Caster kits are available for Hestan models. Refer to the instructions
supplied with the caster kit for proper installation.
Note: If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required and not included with the antitip kit.
Note: 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.
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.
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: The floor under the unit must be at the same level as surrounding finished floor.
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.
