INSTALLING THE CABINET - SINGLE DOOR UNDERCOUNTER CABINETS
Preparing the Space
If the 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 unit.
Make sure the oor under the
unit is level with the surrounding
nished oor. Protect a nished oor with plywood,
cardboard, or some other suitable material before
moving the unit into place. Failure to do this may
result in damage to the oor.
1). Make sure the space opening is correctly sized for
the unit. See chart below for nished rough opening
requirements.
HC24 24” C-Series

* NOTE: No accessory leg or caster kits are available for the
HD24 products.
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.
Installing Anti-Tip Brackets
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.

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)
must be at the same level as the surrounding nished
oor. To prevent possible damage to the countertop
do not place heavy objects on countertop directly
over unit.

INSTALLING THE CABINET - SINGLE DOOR UNDERCOUNTER CABINETS
Sealing Cabinet to Floor
For units without casters or legs, it may be
necessary to seal the base of the cabinet to
the oor. This can be accomplished by laying a
bead of silicone sealant between the base of the
cabinet and the oor (Figure 1).
Installing the Unit
1). Plug the unit into the 15 amp grounded electrical
outlet located within the installation opening. With
power applied to the unit, check that the lighting and
cooling functions operate properly. Turn off the power
to the wall outlet at the circuit breaker.
2). Slide the unit into position in the opening. Make
sure the rear glides slide under the anti-tip 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 glides are tight against the anti-tip
brackets.

Interior Light
Interior Light
All door units are equipped with an interior light that
illuminates when the door is opened. The cabinet
also comes equipped with a manual light switch for
displaying the products through a glass door. For
C-Series (HC), ADA-Compliant (HB) and ShallowDepth (HD) models, this is located on the back wall
left of the light.
Always ensure that the manual light switch is in the
OFF position before closing a solid wood or stainless
steel door. If manual light switch is left on for an
extended period of time, it may increase the cabinet
temperature, and cause the refrigeration system to
run harder.
Loading Product
Before storing perishables, turn unit on and allow
it to operate for a minimum of 24 hours to allow
temperatures to stabilize.
When loading items into the unit, do not block internal
louvers and fan guard openings or performance will

MAINTENANCE - SINGLE DOOR UNDERCOUNTER CABINETS
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
► 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 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 alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride
containing cleaners. While many traditional cleaners are
loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an everincreasing 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.
Cleaning the Cabinet Interior/Exterior
NEVER use hydrochloric acid
(muriatic acid) on stainless
steel. Do not use abrasive cleansers on cloths
on any interior or exterior surfaces, including
removable parts.
Glass panels may be cleaned using any standard glass
cleaner available on the market.
To clean interior and exterior non-metallic surfaces and
removable parts, wash with mild solution of soap and
lukewarm water with a little baking soda. Rinse and dry
thoroughly. Avoid getting water on the lights, controllers,
fan motors and unnished wood wine rack faces.
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.
