Installation Checks
• Anti-tip mounting bracket must be installed correctly
and anchored to prevent cabinet from tipping forward.
•
Module should be engaged in the slots on the module
positioning brackets and seated on the foam seal with-
out air gaps. Module positioning brackets should not be
removed.
• All wires from the lower cabinet to module must be
securely connected. If a problem is suspected, inspect
both male and female plugs and ensure that the termi-
nals in the plug are sufficiently forward to engage.
•
Cabinet must be level both side-to-side and front-to-
back. Front leveling legs should rest firmly on the floor.
Cabinetry on both sides of the cabinet must be secure
and level to prevent the cabinet from shifting when the
doors are opened.
•
Doors must not hit adjacent walls or countertops.
• Gaskets must seal completely. If gaskets seal well, no
further adjustments need to be made.
•
Do NOT overcrowd the shelves or block cold air ducts.
• Do NOT install a freezer shelf closer than 8 inches
from the interior top.
•
Do NOT allow packages to overhang sides or rear of
shelves as this will block air circulation, making the
refrigerator/freezer less efficient.
Common Installation Errors
• Any air leaks between the module and the cabinet will
keep the cabinet from operating efficiently.
•
The electric outlet must be located in a manner that will
not interfere with module to cabinet alignment when the
unit is pushed into place.
•
Power cord to outlet sitting under the power module will
create an air leak.
•
Plugs from cabinet not connected to the power module.
• Floor under products lower than finished floor making
the unit inaccessible for service. Floor under product
must be strong enough to support weight of fully loaded
refrigerator/freezer.
•
Product not anchored properly (to prevent tipping).
Bracket not secured to rear wall studs.
•
Failure to properly level the cabinet and/or power mod-
ule can result in defrost water overflowing.
