Important Safety Issue
A cabinet “anti-tip” device is mounted to the back
of your refrigerated drawer. If your installation is a
built-in undercounter application, you do not need
to apply this feature. If your installation is a free-
standing application with no countertop directly
above the top of the unit, you must apply this
feature to prevent the unit from tipping forward
when the drawers are pulled out. The “anti-tip”
device is attached to the back of the cabinet. Please
see installation instructions supplied with the “anti-
tip” device.
Electrical Connection
Check the serial nameplate for the correct power
supply. Use only the electrical power supply
specified on the serial nameplate. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD.
Grounding Method
This product is factory equipped with a power
supply cord that has a three-pronged, grounded
plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding
type receptacle in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and applicable local codes and
ordinances. It is the customer’s responsibility and
obligation to provide the proper grounding type
receptacle. The third ground prong should not,
under any circumstances, be cut or removed. (See
figure 2) All U.L. listed refrigerated products are
equipped with this type of plug.
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance
of your appliance. Choose a location away from
heat and out of direct sunlight. Best performance
will be maintained when installed within the
following parameters:
Ideal Ambient Temperature Range*
Built-in
55°– 80°F
Freestanding
55°– 90°F
* Appliance will not perform correctly in ambient temperatures less than 55°F.
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section
of the unit where the grille is located. Keep this
area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent
cabinets and countertop can be installed on top,
back and sides of the unit as long as grille and
drawer access remain unobstructed. An opening of
30" is required between cabinets and a depth of
30".
Make certain that the leveling legs supplied with
the refrigerated drawer are installed according to
the instructions. Leveling adjustments can be made
by raising or lowering the glides on the bottom of
the unit.
DISCONNECT POWER SOURCE BEFORE
ADJUSTING LEVELING LEGS.
