INSTALLATION
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate located on the upper left wall inside the cabinet.

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the refrigerator is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Do not lay the refrigerator on its back, front or sides.

Condenser performance is dependent on adequate ventilation for cooling purposes. Adequate
clearance MUST be provided for the ventilator locations underneath. There are no clearance
requirements for sides, rear or top. If installing over a 27" wide utility base, provide adequate clearance
at rear of unit to clean the condenser coil (refer to pages 6 and 15).
