24" C-Series Operation / Installation Manual
PREPARING THE SPACE
Make sure the installation opening is properly prepared. Refer to Figure 1
for space dimensions.
CAUTION
If unit is to be installed under a countertop, it is recommend-
ed that the countertop be supported by a structure other than
the unit itself, to prevent damage to the countertop.
IMPORTANT:
For a cabinet door to operate properly, the door must open
a minimum of 100° (see Figure 1). Use a minimum 4-1/2" filler in corner
installations to ensure a 100° opening. Allow enough clearance in front of
the unit for full door swing or shelf pull-out.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure floor under 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.
PREPARING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A 115 volt, 60Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and electrical supply are
required. A separate circuit is recommended
Follow the National Electrical Code along with local codes and ordinances
when installing the receptacle.
All Perlick units come equipped with a NEMA 5-15P, 90° plug with a 5’
cord (minimum) extending beyond the rear of the unit. The electrical out-
let must be flush with, or recessed into, the back wall.
DANGER
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Electrical grounding required. This appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) polarized plug for protection
against possible shock hazards.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug.
• Never use a 2-prong grounding adapter.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
If a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, or a longer power
cord is required, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable
electrical codes.
DANGER
Failure to comply with the above electrical guidelines may
result in possible injury/death/fire or loss of property.
UNPACKING AND MOVING THE UNIT
CAUTION
Do not cut cardboard sleeve covering the unit. Cutting may
result in damage to the exterior of the unit.
1. Uncrate the unit outside on a flat level surface. Remove the cardboard
sleeve by removing the banding holding the sleeve to the shipping
base. Carefully lift the cardboard sleeve up over the top of the cabi-
net.
2. Carefully lift unit off base and onto a hand truck or dolly (this should
be done with a minimum of two people, larger cabinets may require
additional helpers). Make sure unit is balanced on transporting
device. Secure unit to transporting device using soft flexible strap-
ping. Protect cabinet surfaces with cloth material where strapping
contacts the unit.
3. Before moving unit, secure door to unit with tape to hold the door
closed.
WARNING
A minimum of two people should lift the cabinet off the base
to prevent possible personal injury.
4. Carefully move unit to installation site and place in front of opening.
ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
WARNING
Unit may tip forward if loaded racks/shelves are all pulled out
at the same time. To prevent tipping and provide a stable
installation, the unit must be secured in place with the anti-
tip brackets provided with the unit.
A set of metal anti-tip brackets and #10 x 3/4" screws are supplied with
the unit. The anti-tip brackets, when properly installed, should secure the
rear legs and prevent the unit from tipping forward.
Some installation sites may require modification to provide a secure sur-
face for attaching the brackets. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting bracket
locations.
