Installation
BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. Choose a location where
the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Units with fan cooled
condensers can be built-in.
Unit should be operated in a properly ventilated area with ambient temperatures above
40°F (4.4°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Installation should be such that the cabinet can be
moved for servicing if necessary.
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the unit. Keep this area open and clear
of any obstructions. The adjacent cabinets and countertop can be built around the unit as
long as no top trim or counter top is installed lower than the top of the hinge.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electrical Requirements
A 115 volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15 amp fused electrical supply is
required. (A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.)
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only this
appliance, be provided.
CASTERS
Your beverage dispenser is equipped with four casters.
The front two casters can be locked.
For built-in applications, the four casters can be
removed by removing the nut located inside the
dispenser cabinet and then pulling the threaded caster
spindle through the base of the unit.

3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock
hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding type wall receptacle grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. If the circuit does not have a grounding type
receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the
customer to exchange the existing receptacle in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and
applicable local codes and ordinances. The third ground
plug SHOULD NOT, under any circumstances, be cut or
removed. All UL listed refrigerated products are equipped
with this type of plug.
