PREPARING THE SPACE
Make sure the installation opening is properly prepared. Refer to Figure 1
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 open
a minimum of 98° (see Figure 1). Use a minimum 3-7/64" filler in corner
installations to ensure a 100° opening. Allow 15-25/32" clearance in front
of the unit for full door swing and shelf pull-out.
IMPORTANT: Make sure floor under unit is level with the surrounding
finished floor. Protect a finished floor with plywood, cardboard or some
other suitable material before moving the unit into place. Failure to do this
may result in damage to the floor.
PREPARING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A 115 volt, 60Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and electrical supply are
required. A separate circuit is recommended for each Perlick unit
installed.
Follow the National Electrical Code along with local codes and ordinances
when installing the receptacle.
All Perlick units come equipped with a NEMA 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.
DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!

with a 3-prong (grounding) polarized plug for protection
against possible shock hazards.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug.
• Never use a 2-prong grounding adapter.
• 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.

Figure 10. Wooden Wine Rack Trim
WOODEN WINE RACK TRIM FINISHING
All wine racks come with an unfinished solid hardwood face, which can
be removed and replaced with other wood to match the surrounding cabinetry. See Figure 10.
The included unfinished faces can be finished and sealed. In many cases,
stains and/or finishes have odors that may be objectionable in an
enclosed area. To remove the front wood face from the wine shelf, simply
pull out the wine shelf and remove the fasteners. Finish as desired and reinstall with original fasteners.
OPERATION
General
The unit is equipped with a state-of-the-art refrigeration system. The variable speed compressor automatically changes speeds based on system
conditions and load. The cabinet is equipped with an adjustable digital
temperature controller and LED display.
The unit is a frost-free model. The evaporator coil automatically defrosts
on demand at predetermined intervals.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Shut off the electricity to the unit before cleaning the condenser and other routing maintenance.
Cleaning
To clean stainless steel exterior or interior surfaces, use a soft, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner to wipe down the surfaces.
Glass doors can be cleaned using any standard glass cleaner available on
the market.
To clean interior non-metallic surfaces and removable parts, wash with a
mild solution of soap and lukewarm water with a little baking soda. Rinse
and dry thoroughly. Avoid getting water on lights, control panel, fan
motor, and unfinished wood wine rack faces.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners or cloths on any of the interior
or exterior surfaces or removable parts.
Cleaning the Condenser
The condenser should be cleaned every 3 months. The condenser is
located behind the toe plate (Figure 6). Remove the toe plate and use a
soft bristle brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint. Avoid damaging or
crushing the condenser fins or tubing. Upon completion, re-install the toe
plate.
CAUTION
Failure to clean the condenser could result in temperature
loss or mechanical failure. Clean this area every three
months.
