GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old
refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors and leave shelves in
place so children may not easily climb inside.

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
• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the
unit until the electricity has been disconnected.
• The anti-tip kit must be installed on this unit before it is
used. Never use the drawers, shelves or doors as steps or
to support more than they are designed to support.

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!
Electrical grounding required. This appliance is equipped
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.
UNPACKING AND MOVING THE UNIT
CAUTION
Do not cut cardboard sleeve covering the unit. Cutting may
result in damage to the exterior of the unit.
1. Uncrate the unit outside on a flat level surface. Remove the cardboard
sleeve by removing the banding holding the sleeve to the shipping
base. Carefully lift the cardboard sleeve up over the top of the cabinet.
2. Carefully lift unit off base and onto a hand truck or dolly (this should
be done with a minimum of two people, larger cabinets may require
additional helpers). Make sure unit is balanced on transporting
device. Secure unit to transporting device using soft, flexible strapping. Protect cabinet surfaces with cloth material where strapping
contacts the unit.
3. Before moving unit, secure door to unit with tape to hold the door
closed.
WARNING
A minimum of two people should lift the cabinet off the base
to prevent possible personal injury.
4. Carefully move unit to installation site and place in front of opening.
ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
WARNING
Unit may tip forward if loaded racks/shelves 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 antitip brackets provided with the unit.
A set of metal anti-tip brackets and #10 x 3/4" screws are supplied with
the unit. The anti-tip brackets, when properly installed, should secure the
rear legs and prevent the unit from tipping forward.
Some installation sites may require modification to provide a secure surface for attaching the brackets. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting bracket
locations.
