Installation (cont.)
Cabinet Location
1.
Ensure that the drain hose or hoses are positioned in the pan.
2.
Free the plug and cord from inside the lower rear of the cooler
(DO NOT plug in).
3.
Place the unit close enough to the electrical supply so that the
extension cords are never used.
6" Leveling Leg & Castor Installation
Leveling legs are provided to assist with leveling the cabinet.
Adjustable legs will provide 6" (152 mm) of clearance under the
cabinet. Castors provide cabinet mobility.
NOTE: If the cabinet has a center leveling screw, castor, or leg,
make sure it is adjusted properly so it makes full contact with
the floor after the cabinet has been leveled.
Required Tools
Required tools include (but may not be limited to) the following:
• 9/16 Socket Wrench
6” Leveling Leg Installation
1.
Access the unit’s bottom.
2.
Locate the mounting plate anchor points on the unit’s bottom.
3.
Install the mounting plate. See fig. 1.
4.
Thread the leveling legs into the mounting plate. See fig. 1.
5.
Verify the unit is level.
6.
If the unit is not level, gently lift and support the low end of
the unit. With an adjustable wrench, adjust the bottom stem of
the leveling leg as needed to level the unit. See fig. 2.
NOTE: DO NOT lift the unit by the countertops, doors,
drawers, or grills.
NOTE: Be sure to leave the unit upright twice the time it
was laying down (up to 4 hours) before restoring power. If
this time exceeds 4 hours, let the unit stand upright for 24
hours before powering the unit.
Castor Installation
1.
Locate the castor anchor points on the underside of the
cabinet.
2.
With an adjustable wrench and the provided hardware, install
the castors.
NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the bolts.
3.
Verify the level of the cabinet. If the cabinet is not level, with
a 6” (152.4 mm) block, prop up the low end of the unit. Then,
add castor shims.
NOTE: DO NOT push the block more than 5” (127 mm)
under the unit.
NOTE: Install shims in pairs and ensure the shims contact
the castor mounting bolts.
a.
Loosen the castor bolts to create space between the
mounting plate and the bottom of the cabinet. See fig. 4a.
b.
Position the castor shims and tighten the castor bolts. See
figs. 4b and 4c.
c.
Lower the cabinet and verify it is level. Repeat the process
