GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

DANGER

1. Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw
away your old unit, take off the doors and
leave shelves in place so children may not
easily climb inside.

2. Altering or cutting of the power cord, or
removal of the power plug, or direct wiring
can cause serious injury, fire and/or loss
of property and/or life and will void the
warranty.

WARNING

1. Never attempt to repair or perform
maintenance on the unit until the electricity
has been disconnected.

2. The anti-tip kit must be installed on this unit
before it is used. Never use the shelves or
doors as steps or to support more than they
are designed to support.

CAUTION

1. Do not lift unit by shelves or door handle.

2. Failure to clean the condenser every three

months can cause the unit to malfunction.
This could void the warranty.

3. Never install the unit behind closed doors
(ie; closets, small pantries, etc). Be sure
front louvered toe plate is free of obstruction.
Obstructing free air flow can cause unit to
malfunction and may void the warranty.

4. Use only Perlick replacement parts. Use of
non-Perlick parts can damage the unit, and
may void the warranty.

PREPARING THE SPACE

Make sure the installation opening is properly
prepared. Refer to Figure 1 (page 3) for space
dimensions.

CAUTION

If 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 countertop.

IMPORTANT: For a cabinet door to operate
properly, the door must be open a minimum of
94° (see Figure 1). Use a minimum 3-3/32” filler in
corner installations to ensure a 94° opening. Allow
enough clearance in front of the unit for full door
swing or shelf pull-out.

IMPORTANT: Make sure floor under unit is level
with the surrounding finished floor. Protect finished
floor with plywood, rug, cardboard or some other
suitable material before moving the unit into place.
Failure to do this may result in damage to the floor.

DANGER

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!

Electrical grounding required. This appliance
is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
polarized plug for protection against possible
shock hazards.

1. Never remove the round grounding prong
from the plug.

2. Never use a 2-prong grounding adapter.

3. Never use an extension cord to connect

power to the unit.

If a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
or a longer power cord is required, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
3-prong receptacle in accordance with
applicable electrical codes.

DANGER

Failure to comply with the above electrical
guidelines may result in possible injury/death/
fire or loss of property.

PREPARING ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS

A 115 volt, 60Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and
electrical supply are required. A separate circuit is
recommended.

Follow the National Electrical Code along with
local codes and ordinances when installing the
receptacle.

5-15P, 90° plug with a 5’ cord (minimum) extending
beyond the rear of the unit. The electrical outlet
must be flush with, or recessed into, the back wall
or located where the recess is on the back of the
cabinet (Figure 2).

ANTI-TIP BRACKETS

WARNING

are all pulled out at the same time. To prevent
tipping and provide a stable installation, the
unit must be secured in place with the anti-tip
brackets provided with the unit.

A set of metal anti-tip brackets are supplied with the
unit. The anti-tip brackets, when properly installed,
should secure the rear legs and prevent the unit
from tipping forward. Select fasteners based on
the material the brackets will be fastened to.

Some installation sites may require modification
to provide a secure surface for attaching the
brackets. Refer to Figure 3 for mounting bracket
locations.

IMPORTANT: If installing on a concrete floor,
concrete fastners are required and are not included
in the Anti-Tip Kit.
