Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualifi ed electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualifi ed person in order to avoid hazard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

• Two people should be used when moving the appliance.
• Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm wet cloth.
• Place the appliance on a fl oor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• This appliance is 23.8 inches (60.5 cm) wide by 34.7 inches (88 cm) high (when installed with leveling legs) by 25.9 inches (65.7 cm) deep. Make sure that you leave the minimum amount of space between the appliance and all surrounding walls and vents.
• Casters are included with this appliance. If the casters are install, the height increases to 36.4 inches (92.5 cm).
• WARNING: To avoid hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fi xed in accordance with the instructions.
• Keep fl ammable material and vapors such as gasoline away from the appliance. Only use nonfl ammable cleaner.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household or camping and similar situations such as:
• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offi ces and other working environments;

• Bed and breakfast type environments;
• Catering and similar non-retail applications;
• This appliance should not be exposed to rain.
• Do not overload the appliance.

FRONT VENT

This appliance is front breathing. Do not block the front air vent as this will result in high operating temperatures, higher energy usage and possible system overheating and failure.

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There is one adjustable foot on the bottom of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level.

1. Turn the leveling foot counter-clockwise as far as it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the cabinet.
2. Slowly turn the leveling foot clockwise until the appliance is level.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE LIMITS FOR OUTDOOR USE
Do not install this appliance in a location where temperature will fall below 41°F (5°C) or rise above 109°F (43°C).
Operating the appliance in an ambient temperature which is too cold can cause the compressor to turn off for too long, causing the internal temperature in the appliance to rise, possibly resulting in loss of contents.
For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the front vent.

HANDLE INSTALLATION
To avoid damage during transportation, the handle is shipped in packing foam on the front of the appliance and must be installed by the end user.

The handle can be installed on either the left or right side of the door depending on whether the door is needed to open from the left or right side.
Note: See door reversal instructions if the default door installation opening from the left side is inconvenient.

To install the door handle:

1. Remove the screw hole covers found on the side of the door. Save these hole covers for future use.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver and the provided screws to install the handle on the side of the door.

CASTER INSTALLATION

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, unplug the appliance and use two people to complete the caster installation.

1. Place the appliance on its back. Protect the fl oor and the back of the appliance from damage by laying the appliance on a towel or blanket.
2. Remove the three solid feet. Unscrew the leveling foot. Keep the solid feet and the leveling foot in a safe place for future use.
3. Install the non-locking casters on the back of the appliance.
4. Install the locking casters on the front of the appliance.

Note: Once caster installation is complete, the appliance must be allowed to stand upright for 6 hours before plugging in to avoid damage to internal components.

PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE

Gloves and safety goggles should be worn during installation.
It is not recommended to install the appliance into a corner or directly beside a wall. The door will need to be opened more than 90° to allow full extension of the shelves. If it is necessary to place the unit next to a wall or in a corner, leave at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of space between the wall and the appliance to allow for the door opening.
The cabinet opening must be at least 24 inches (61 cm) wide by 25 inches (63.5 cm) deep.
If the appliance will be built in with the leveling foot, the height of the opening must be at least 35 inches (88.9 cm).
If the appliance will be built in with the casters installed, the height of the opening must be at least 37 inches (94 cm).
Note: The listed depth requirement is assuming that the electrical outlet is located in the adjacent cabinetry or fl ush mounted in the rear wall, not surface mounted inside the enclosure.
If the electrical outlet is located inside adjacent cabinetry, cut a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) diameter hole to admit the power cord. If the cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or grommet.

REQUIRED TOOLS
