GENERAL INFORMATION
LOCAL CODES
The installation of the Compact Kitchen Unit must be
in accordance with these instructions and all local
plumbing and electrical codes and Underwriter's
Laboratories Requirements.
SAFETY
This unit is approved for a permanent electrical con-
nection. It is extremely important that the correct wire
size is being used and that the unit is properly ground-
ed. See Wiring Diagrams Fig. 7 and 8 and Note under
Step 1 for the total power requirements. Name plate on
right side of base has the maximum power require-
ments also.
INSPECTION
Sears Compact Kitchen Units are carefully inspected
and cartoned to protect against shipping damage. If
there is damage or missing parts, the transportation
company agent should make a notation to that effect
on the bill. Send the bill to Sears, Roebuck and Co.
location from which the Company Kitchen Unit was
purchased with reference to the parts list in the "Repair
Parts Manual" and advise what parts are missing or
damaged. If available, give the invoice number on all
order bills. Following this procedure will enable Sears
to quickly ship the needed parts without further incon-
venience.
WATER PIPING INSTALLATION
The easiest method of connecting a faucet to water
supply pipes is the use of corrugated tubing designed
specifically for this procedure. However, in some areas
local plumbing codes may permit the use of copper
tubing. If so, the dimensions listed in Table 6 would be
appropriate for copper tubing. Compression fittings
and compression nuts would have to be purchased in
addition to the copper tubing. Shut off valves for cor-
rugated tubing are used with copper tubing. In some
areas, iron pipe is the only approved plumbing. Table 5
lists plumbing needed for iron pipe use. Table 6 lists
plumbing needed for corrugated tubing use.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The easiest method for electrical installation is the
use of armored cable. However, in some areas local
electrical codes do not permit the use of armored
cable. Some local electrical codes permit the use of
rigid conduit only. Table 2A lists the electrical supplies
needed involving armored cable or rigid conduit. Elec-
trical connections should be made by a licensed
electrician.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
Tools Needed
• 5/16 in. Nut Driver
• Hack Saw
• Screwdriver
• Pliers
• Adjustable Wrench
• Pipe Wrench - 8 in.
• Hammer
Purchased Parts Needed
• Plumbing: Refer to Table 2A and Table 5 or Table6
• Electrical: Refer to Table 2A
Parts Included With Unit
• Sink Faucet
• Basket Strainer
Unit Preparation
Remove side compartment panel by removing the two
hex head screws at the bottom of the panel and pulling
panel straight down. Test run refrigerator before per-
manent installation. An electrical outlet is located on
the left wall of the compartment. A three-wire power
cord is plugged into this outlet. Remove the plug and
attach to an extension cord. Plug the extension cord
into an electrical outlet. The compressor for the re-
frigerator will be turned on. Run the refrigerator for
1/2 hour. Check the freezer section. If the section is
cold, the refrigerator is operating properly.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This Compact Kitchen Unit has limited space on the
back wall for plumbing and electrical service access.
The plumbing (water supply and drain pipe) must
come out of the wall. The electrical junction box must
be located in the area specified in Figure 1 to avoid
interference when the unit is set in place. The proper
sequence of service connections is important to make
installation as trouble free as possible, as follows:
• Water Supply Connections
• Drain Pipe Connection
• Electrical Connection
STEP 1: Pre-lnstallation Procedure--Location Of
Plumbing and Electrical Supply On Wall.
A. Mark locations for the water supply pipes (hot &
cold), drain pipe and electrical junction box on the wall
as per dimensions in Figure 1.
IMPORTANT:
These plumbing and electrical connections must be in
the specified area illustrated in Figure 1 to avoid in-
terference when setting the unit in place.
B. Plumbing Installation: The water supply lines and
drain pipe extend beyond the back wall as per dimen-
sions in Figure 2A.
IMPORTANT:
The plumbing dimensions are critical in assuring
proper alignment with the faucet and sink drain con-
nections when the unit is set in place.

• Connect 3/8 in. angle valves to water supply lines.
The type of valve connections depend upon the type
of plumbing (iron pipe or tubing).
• Connect 90 Degree elbow to the drain pipe. Do not
connect J-Bend or tube tail at this time.
C. Electrical Service: Locate electrical junction box on
wall as per dimensions in Figure 1 in order to clear the
refrigerator coils over the compressor at the rear of the
unit.
• Punch out plug on wall junction box as shown in
Figure 2B.
• Attach electrical supply line as per Figure 2A for
armored cable or Figure 2B fo conduit.
NOTE:
Models 995383/995323 have maximum power input of
1800 watts. 115 volt. 60 Hz, 20 amp. protected branch
circuit is needed.
Models 995483/995423 have maximum power input of
2650 watts. 115/230 volt. 60 Hz, 20 amp. protected
branch circuit is needed.
Use No. 12 AWG insulated wire for both power require-
ments.

ELECTRICAL CONDUIT INSTALLATION
Using a conduit bender, form thin wall rigid conduit as
shown in Figure 2B. Insert the three wires in the conduit,
leaving sufficient lengths of wire at each end for electrical
connections in both boxes. Make sure power is off at the
wall box before proceeding further. Knock out the plug in
each junction box on the right of the center plug, at the top
on the wall box and at the bottom of the box on the unit.
Attach conduit to wall box. Do not connect wires at this time.
Set unit in place against wall to make sure conduit lines up
with the box on the unit. Make adjustment if necessary. After
alignment is checked, connect the electrical wires in the
wall box after removing the unit from wall. The unit box is
not connected at this time. Make sure the circuit is properly
grounded.

MOUNTING THE FAUCET
Place rubber washers over body shanks. Place faucet body
shanks through sink top holes. Be sure to have hot water
valve on left side as you face front of unit. Go to rear of unit
and assemble shank washers and lock nuts to body shanks
as shown in Figure 3. Tighten Iocknuts with adjustable
wrench. This will secure faucet body to sink top. Attach
faucet stem to body as shown in Figure 3. Make sure
threaded collar on faucet stem makes contact with neck on
body cover. This will assure a tight seal around the collar of
the faucet stem.
