Installation Manual 3
Assemble the Enclosure
For N15DC:
Make sure that the enclosure is the correct size: 63.25 – 63.38 inches high x 32.69 – 32.82 inches wide x 24.00 inches deep.
FOR N20DC
Make sure that the enclosure is the correct size: 68.94 – 69.06 inches high x 35.94 – 36.04 inches wide x 24.00 inches deep.
-For enclosures deeper than 24 inches ensure that the refrigerator is inserted into
the enclosure only to the depth of the breaker. This ensures that the door latches
can be accessed, and the doors can be opened to the maximum extent without
interference from the sides of the enclosure. (See ART02781)
-If the enclosure is deeper than 25 inches, the refrigerator’s performance may be
optimized by installing a wood, aluminum or galvanized sheet solid box baffle [1]
in the rear of the enclosure to make the enclosure depth 24 inches.
-Make sure that the back of the solid box baffle is perpendicular to the bottom of the
enclosure.
-Make sure that the solid box baffle is the full width and height of the inside of the
enclosure.
- The enclosure width may vary, however the enclosure at the breaker mounting
points [2] should be framed with solid wood to 32.39-32.82 inches wide. Mounting
strips may be installed to securely mount screws. This is to ensure the refrigerator
can be securely fastened to the enclosure without damage to the cabinet liner.
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.
- Make sure any exterior vents are blocked.
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 under the refrigerator, 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.
The refrigerator has a built-in vent at the top and clearance at the bottom. Make sure that the flow of air
through these vents are 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.
