If necessary, contact a licensed electri-
cian to install an appropriate 15 amp 
electrical circuit with correct NEMA re-
ceptacle.  Ensure that the plug is acces-
sible after installation. 

 

DO NOT use an extension cord. 

 



Place the cabinet on level ground so that the inside water flows evenly. Lock the 
front wheel caster brakes.  Adjust the leveling legs so that they are on the floor. If 
your floor is not level, adjust the legs so that the unit is level. 

NOTE: Unit must 

be level in order to function properly.

 

 



Leave at least 36 inches (914 mm) at the front of the cabinet, so there is ample 
space for opening the doors and pulling the drawers out. 

 



Allow at least a two to six inch ventilation gap between the top of the unit and the 
ceiling. Allow at least 2” of space for ventilation at the rear of the cabinet. 



Install the anti-tip straps, included with the cabinet.  

IMPORTANT: THIS PROCE-

DURE MUST BE DONE BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER WITH INSTALLA-
TION OR OPERATION OF THE CABINET.

 

INSTALLATION 

Installation procedures must be  

performed by a qualified technician with 
full knowledge of all applicable electrical 
and plumbing codes.  Failure could   
result in personal injury and property 
damage. 

 

Damage to unit due to being connected 
to the wrong voltage or phase is 

NOT 

covered by warranty. 

The ground prong of the power cord is 
part of a system designed to protect you 
from electric shock in the event of inter-
nal damage. 

 

DO NOT cut off the large round ground 
prong or twist a blade to fit an existing 
receptacle. 

CAUTION:

              

Electrical Shock Hazard 

IMPORTANT:  

Power cord is 10' long  

IMPORTANT: 
Not under warranty 

WARNING: 
Risk of personal injury 

 

Due to varying water quality in different 
municipalities, make sure that your facil-
ity water is filtered of sediment and 
chemicals before hooking up the fill 
lines.  Sediment from hard and soft wa-
ter may eventually clog up the pumps 
and filters. 

IMPORTANT: 
FILTERED WATER  
REQUIRED 

LOCATION

 

WARNING:   
Tipping hazard   

Anchor straps 

must

 be used 

to secure unit to a wall.  Unit 

must

 be anchored, using straps along 

with the anchor points located in the 
upper corners of the back of the unit to 
structural supports in the wall behind the 
unit. 

INSTALLATION OF THE ANTI-TIP STRAPS 

 

Before you operate the cabinet it must be installed, using anchors and straps, to 
prevent tipping.   
1)  Verify that you have these 4 items included with your Garden Chef: (2) ¼-20 X 

¾” long screw, (2) washers, (2) 8’ long straps, (4) mounting brackets. (Fig. 1) 

2)  Using screws, washers, and the mounting plate, mount the bracket to the back 

of the cabinet as shown in Figure 2 

3)  On the wall adjacent to the back of the cabinet, install wall anchors (acquired 

by other supplier) at equal height for the type of wall being used (i.e. wood, 
drywall, cement block, poured cement) 

4)  Install the mounting plate on the wall anchors with a screw and washer 

(acquired by other supplier) matching the wall anchor. 

5)  Thread the loose end of the strap as shown in Figure 3 and then through your 

wall mounted anchor 

6)  As shown in Figure 4, thread the loose end of the strap through the buckle
