APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install appliances.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Remove Packaging Materials
IMPORTANT:
Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your appliance.
• Remove tape and glue from your appliance before using.
• Tape or glue residue can be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive
with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or
glue. These products can damage the surface of your appliance.
NOTICE:
LOSS OR SPOILAGE OF PRODUCTS IN YOUR APPLIANCE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. IN ADDITION TO
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION PROCEDURES AFTER IT’S BEEN SET IN PLACE, DON’T
RUN THE APPLIANCE FOR 24 HOURS TO LET OIL IN THE REFRIGERANT LINE RE-EQUILIBRATE. (DON’T LOAD
WITH PRODUCT UNTIL THE UNIT TEMPERATURE HAS REACHED ITS SET POINT.)
Location Requirements
• Appliances represented in this manual are intended for indoor use only.
• Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and contents as a
fully loaded unit can weigh as much as 1,500 pounds.
• Reinforce the floor as necessary to provide maximum loading.
• For the most efficient refrigeration, be sure to provide good air circulation inside and out.
Inside cabinet:
Do not pack the units so full that air cannot circulate. The refrigerated air is discharged at the top rear of the unit. It is
important to allow for proper air flow from the top rear to the bottom of the unit. Obstructions to this air flow can cause
evaporator coil to freeze up and loss of temperature or overflow of water from the evaporator drain pan. The shelves
have a rear turn up on them to prevent this. However, bags and other items can still be located to the far rear of the
cabinet. Air is brought into the evaporator coil with fans mounted to the front of the coil.
Outside cabinet:
Be sure that the unit has access to ample air. Avoid hot corners and locations near stoves and ovens.
It is recommended that the unit be installed no closer than 2" (51mm) from any wall, a max door swing clearance of 60.5
in. (1537mm) and with at least 12" (305mm) of clear space above the unit. Adequate air flow (≤86º F) into the utility
compartment is needed to deliver proper performance and extend the appliance life.
