General Information

Preparing the Area
Make sure that the opening area where the
unit is to be installed is properly prepared.
Ensure the space dimensions and electrical
service are correct for the models to be
installed.
CAUTION
If unit is being installed under a countertop,
it is recommended that the countertop be
supported by structure other than the
refrigerated cabinet to prevent damage to
the countertop.
IMPORTANT: For a door to operate
properly, the door must open a minimum of
94°. Use a minimum 3-inch filler in corner
installations to assure a 94° door opening.
Allow 24" clearance in front of the unit for
full door swing, shelf pull-out or drawer pull-
out.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the floor under the
unit is level with the surrounding finished
floor. Protect a finished floor with plywood,
cardboard or some other suitable material
before moving the unit into place. Failure to
do this may result in damage to the floor.
Floor must be level in area of installation. Leg
levelers are used for fine-tune adjustment
only and should not be be used to
compensate for floor differences exceeding
1/2 inch.
