INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus
approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food
weight.
• Finished kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator
must be adjusted if the floor heights are not
equal to make sure air vents are not obstructed.
• Remove anything attached to rear or side walls
that can obstruct refrigerator opening.
• Cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Electrical outlet is in correct location.
Do not install this refrigerator-freezer next to any
other refrigerator. Installing this refrigerator-freezer
next to any other refrigerator or freezer can cause
condensation or cause damage to the appliance.
Electrical Requirement
If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be
used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) polarized plug for your
protection against possible shock hazards.
DO NOT remove the round grounding
•
prong from the plug.
DO NOT use a two-prong grounding
•
adapter.
DO NOT use an extension cord to
•
connect power to the unit.
To protect the refrigerator from possible
damage, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to
1 hour in place before turning the electricity
on. This allows the refrigerant and system
lubrication to reach equilibrium.
Customer’s Responsibility
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp fused electrical supply is
required. We recommend using a dedicated circuit
for this appliance to prevent electrical overload.
Follow the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances when installing the receptacle.
Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are not sure
the appliance is properly grounded. Do not
have a fuse in the neutral or grounding
circuit.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Electrically ground refrigerator.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire or electrical shock.
Blocking For Safety
The anti-tip bracket must be installed to prevent
the unit from tipping after it is installed. Refer to
Blocking For Safety.
Unit Venting
Do not restrict the air flow. Air flow must be
provided for the unit to operate.

Unit Venting - Figure 3
HC 20 appliances do not require any ventilation
openings in the cabinet. The required airflow is
directed through the toe kick area.
Door swing clearence - Figure 2
Please allow for door swing clearance at locations
next to a wall.
The illustrated measurement is without mounted
front panels. Be sure to add your panel thickness
and handle depth to this measurement in order to
avoid interferences.
Figure 3
It is important to use the provided cover grille for
the ventilation opening. This opening must not be
covered with a cabinet base.

IMPORTANT
At 24" cabinets, the water line opening must be in the
location as shown in Figure 4.
At cabinets deeper than 24" there is room to fit the
pipe behind the appliance and the wall so there are no
requirements for the water line lead out position.
