Assemble the Enclosure

- Make sure that the enclosure is the correct size:
- For DE / EV 0041 models - 30 7/8 inches high x 23 1/4
inches wide x 23 1/2 inches deep.
- For DE / EV 0061 models - 52 7/8 inches high x 23 1/4
inches wide x 23 3/4 inches deep.
- Make sure the floor is solid and level.
- The floor must be metal or a wood panel and extend
the full width and depth of the enclosure.
- The floor must be able to support the weight of the
refrigerator and its contents.
- Make sure there are no adjacent heat sources such as a
furnace vent, etc.

Ventilation Requirements

This refrigerator is made for a built-in installation. Correct
ventilation is necessary for the correct operation of the
refrigerator and to increase the life of the refrigerator cooling
system.
Ventilation allows the natural air flow that is necessary for good
refrigeration. Cooler air comes in through a lower intake vent,
goes around the refrigerator coils where it removes the excess
heat from the refrigerator components, and goes out through an
upper exhaust vent. If this air flow is blocked or decreased, the
refrigerator will not cool correctly. Do not install the vents into
completely enclosed areas such as closets or cabinets.
CAUTION:
The refrigerator has built in vents at the top
and at the bottom. Make sure that the flow of air through
these vents is not blocked in any way. Blockage of air
through these vents can cause:
- shortened life of the refrigerator cooling unit.
- poor cooling performance of the refrigerator.
- continuous operation of the refrigerator.
- fast battery discharge.
- void of the refrigerator warranty.
