PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
CAUTION
Before beginning installation, carefully
inspect the cabinet for hidden damage. If damage is discovered,
immediately file a claim with the transportation company.
Perlick is not responsible for damage in transit.
CAUTION
When moving the unit, be sure to protect
finished flooring with appropriate material to avoid damage
from moving the appliance.
CAUTION
If the unit has been laid on its back or sides,
place unit upright and allow minimum of 24 hours before
connecting the unit. Failure to do so can affect the function and
performance of the appliance.
CAUTION
This appliance should be installed in dry,
ventilated indoor location. The ambient temperature of the
location must be between 55°F (13°C) and 100°F (43°C) for
optimal performance.
CAUTION
This product must be installed on a level
floor for safety and optimal performance. The base must be
flat to ensure anti-tip brackets properly function and that
the refrigeration system is level. Any walls and surrounding
furniture/fixtures need to be securely attached to the floor, wall
studs or concrete prior to installation of the column.
CAUTION
To ensure proper performance, the air
intake (toe kick) must not be blocked. Perlick refrigeration is
front-breathing — covering the intake will cause the system to
overheat and fail.
CAUTION
Perlick column doors open to 105°. When
installing a panel thicker than ¾" (19), or if located next to
adjacent wall, the 90° hinge stop pin may be required to
prevent damage to the unit and adjacent cabinetry/walls. This
hinge pin must be installed prior to full integration.
In addition, the appliance must not be in direct exposure of
constant sunlight or excessive heat. If it must be installed next
to a heat source, such as a cooking appliance or radiant heat,
you must install an insulating plate between the column and
heat source.
When fully stocked, Perlick column refrigeration is very heavy.
To ensure the safety and prevent home damage, the load-
bearing capacity of your floor must be 846 lbs (384 kg).

PERLICK RESIDENTIAL COLUMN REFRIGERATION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION TOOLS AND MATERIALS
▪ Screwdrivers (standard and #2 Phillips)
▪ Power drill
▪ Drill bits
▪ 13mm socket or wrench set
▪ 2' and 4' levels
▪ Material to protect flooring and surrounding cabinetry
OPENING DIMENSIONS - SINGLE UNIT
The depth of each Perlick column is 24" (610). Allow for
panel thickness when planning the finished opening depth. A
minimum of a 4" (102) finished return is required on all sides
of the opening. See page 5 for niche and product dimension
drawings.
It is important that the side walls of the niche are plumb prior
to installation. The minimum thickness of both the side walls
and the top wall must be 5/8" (16). A thickness of 3/4" (19) is
recommended for toe kick panels.
Framed cabinets will require additional finished filler material
behind the face frame for a proper installation. Refer to the
illustration on page 5.
OPENING DIMENSIONS - TWO UNITS
When installing two units side-by-side, a Perlick Dual Installation
Kit (part number CR-ACC-D1) is required. You must plan for
both units plus dual installation kit when planning the cut-out
dimensions. The cutout width for a dual CR24 installation is
48". The cutout width for a dual installation consisting of
one CR24 and one CR30 is 54-1/2". For more information, see
instructions that accompany the CR-ACC-D1.
