Installation
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.
Please 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 HC and HB model cabinets. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the caster kit for proper
installation.
► If installing on a concrete oor, concrete fasteners
are required and not included with the anti-tip kit.
► Some installation sites may require modications
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 oor at
the rear of the unit. Each bracket must be located to
engage the rear glides when the cabinet is pushed
back into position. Refer to Figure 1 (shown below)
for anti-tip bracket mounting locations.
NOTE: For a cabinet door to open properly, the door
must open a minimum of 90°. Use a minimum 3” ller in corner installations to assure a full 90° opening.
Allow 25” clearance in front of unit for full door swing
and shelf/drawer pull out for all units
2). Check that the following are level and square:
► Front and interior opening
► Installation opening and oor surface
► Countertop bottom and front edge (if applicable)

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 (shown right) and perform
the following steps:
► At the bottom of the opening, measure from
the oor to the bottom of the front edge of the
countertop.
► Measure from the oor 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 and clockwise
to raise it.
NOTE: Legs should not extend more than 3/4” from
the bottom of the unit.

3). Slide the unit into position in the opening. Make
sure the rear leveling legs slide under the antitip brackets. Push the unit into the opening until
the bottom front edge of the unit is ush with the
surrounding cabinetry, or until the rear legs are tight
against the anti-tip brackets.
NOTE: The rear leveling legs must be engaged under the anti-tip brackets.
4). Shim the front of the unit so the front face is ush
with surrounding cabinetry. Adjust the front legs to
support the countertop at the shimmed height. Using
an adjustable wrench of 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.
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.

MAINTENANCE - SINGLE DOOR UNDERCOUNTER CABINETS
Checking Product Temperature
To accurately check the temperature of product
stored in the refrigerated compartment:
1. Insert an accurate thermometer into an
unbreakable plastic bottle, partially lled with
water. Tighten bottle cap securely.
2. Place bottle in the desired area for 24 hours.
Refrain from opening the unit during the testing
period. After 24 hours, check the temperature
of the water and adjust using the Controller
Operating Instructions on page 6.
Never attempt to repair or per-
form maintenance on the unit
until the main electrical power to the unit has
been disconnected.
Light Bulb Replacement
To replace a defective or burnt out bulb, remove the
glass light cover by pulling off the cover. Unscrew the
bulb and replace it with an identical or smaller bulb.
The Perlick replacement part number is 67026.
Stainless Steel Care
Stainless steel is a “passive” metal because it
contains other metals like chromium, nickel and
manganese that stabilize the atoms. Chromium
provides an invisible passive lm that covers the
steel surface, acting as a shield against corrosion.
As long as the lm is intact and not contaminated,
the metal is passive and stainless. If the passive
lm of stainless steel has been broken, equipment
can start to corrode and rust.
Three materials or processes can break down
stainless steel’s passive layer and allow corrosion
to occur:
► Mechanical abrasion
► Deposits and water
deposits from food preparation must be promptly
removed with an appropriate cleaning agent.
Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They are in
water, food and table salt. Household and industrial
cleaners are the worst offenders.
Preventing Stainless Steel Rust
Use non-abrasive tools to clean stainless steel
products. Soft cloths and plastic scouring pads will
not harm the steel’s passive layer.
Clean with polish lines. Some stainless steels have
visible polishing lines or “grain”. When visible lines are
present, always scrub in a motion parallel to the lines.
When the grain cannot be seen, polish in a consistent
straight pattern and not in a circular motion.
Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride
containing cleaners. While many traditional cleaners
are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an
ever-increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you
are not sure of chloride content in the cleaner being
used, contact your cleaner supplier. If your present
cleaner contains chlorides, ask your supplier for an
alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salt;
it also can attack stainless steel and cause pitting
and rusting.
Keep food equipment clean. Use alkaline, alkaline
chlorinated or non-chloride cleaners at recommended
strength. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard,
stubborn stains. The single most likely cause of
damage is chlorides in the water. Remember, adding
heat to cleaners that contain chlorides dramatically
increases their effect on stainless steel.
If chlorinated cleaners are used, immediately rinse
and wipe equipment and supplies dry. The sooner
you wipe standing water, especially when it contains
cleaning agents, the better. After wiping equipment
down, allow it to air dry. Oxygen helps maintain the
stainless steel passive lm.
► Chlorides
Mechanical abrasion refers to items that will scratch
a steel surface. Steel pads, wire brushes and scrapers
are prime examples.
Water comes out of the faucet in varying degrees
of hardness. Hard water may leave spots. When
allowed to sit, these deposits will break down the
passive chromium layer and rust stainless steel. Other
