INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
To ensure a proper installation, this checklist should be completed to ensure that no part of the
process has been overlooked.
Have all packaging materials been removed?
Have the anti-tip brackets been installed securely and are they properly engaging the unit?
Is the unit leveled properly with all leveling legs making contact with the floor? Has the toe kick
been installed?
Has door stop been installed (if needed)?
Are panels attached securely and properly aligned? (Overlay cabinets only).
Does the customer understand the unit’s operation?
Has the customer been given the key and literature package?
Have stainless steel surfaces been inspected for any imperfections? This is to be done by the
authorized True dealer or installer with the customer, upon completion of installation. Stainless
steel doors, handles and shelves are covered by a limited 30-day warranty for cosmetic defects.
Is the unit operating properly? If not, is the unit plugged in? Is the control turned on?

OWNERSHIP
To insure that your unit works properly from the
first day, it must be installed properly. (We highly
recommend a trained refrigeration mechanic and
electrician install your True Residential® Cabinet.) The
cost of a professional installation is money well spent.
Before you start to install your True Residential®
Cabinet, carefully inspect it for freight damage.
If damage is discovered, immediately file a claim with
the delivery freight carrier. True is not responsible for
damage incurred during shipment.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE OLD
REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous... Even if they will sit for “just a few
days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER:
• Take off the doors.
Any questions about the installation please
contact your True dealer or True Technical Service
Department at 1-800-325-6152 (Please have your
model and serial numbers available when you call our
Service Department).
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the installation
instructions before it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on
the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage
the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
• Keep hands away from the “pinch point” areas
(gaps between the doors and between the doors
and cabinet) small areas are not necessarily safe.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT
ANY SERVICING BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
DANGER!
RISK OF CHILDREN
ENTRAPMENT
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away
your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is
removed for proper disposal by a qualified service. If
you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you can
be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions
of the environment legislation.
• Setting temperature control to OFF only removes
power from the refrigeration system, it does not
remove power from other circuits. For example,
temperature control and lights.

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
To minimize the depth of the cutout opening, the
electrical outlet must be positioned as shown below.
Outlet must be flush with wall.
Rear wall of cut out
2"2"
Before your new unit is connected to a power supply,
check the incoming voltage with a volt meter. If
anything less than 100% of the rated voltage for
operation is noted, correct immediately.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize
the possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance. A 115V AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit
breaker and electrical supply are required.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with the properly grounded 3 prong wall
outlet.
Do not use an extension cord or two prong adaptor.
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
8"
The unit should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet, which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires. Never unplug your refrigerator by
pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end. When moving the
refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll
over or damage the power cord.
OUTDOOR USE
All True undercounter units are UL-rated for outdoor
use.
In regions that have high dewpoint/high humidity, it
is possible that you will see some condensation on
the glass and possibly around some of the gasket
seals. For best operation, it is recommended that
your True unit be stocked full with product.
To winterize your True unit, it is recommended once
the temperature reaches below 32ºF consistently that
products are removed from the unit, the unit is either
unplugged or turned OFF, and a cover is placed over
the unit.
Installation – For best operation, it is recommended
that your True unit is installed so that the countertop
of your outdoor kitchen/bar covers the door or drawer
gasket. Cutout opening should be a minimum of 24
inches deep and unit should be installed “flush”.
Please note that door/drawer gaskets do not provide
a water tight seal against the elements.
