circuit.
2. The power cord of each unit is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time
delay fuse or circuit breaker.
3. Do Not connect units to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) circuit.
Location:
1. The units must be installed on a floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator and freezer.
2. Consider water supply availability for models equipped with an automatic ice
maker.
Clearances:
1. Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation,
plumbing and electrical connections.
•Sides -------------- 3/8”
•Top & Back ------ 1”
•Between units ---------- 3/16”
2. Do Not block toe grille on the lower front of the units. Sufficient air
circulation is essential for the proper operation of the units.

and level the freezer so door height matches.
4. Leveling Leg Adjustments: See Fig. B
•One full turn of all four leveling legs will raise door 5/32”.
•One full turn of both front leveling legs will raise door 3/16” and tilt top
of door back 7/16”.
•One full turn of both rear leveling legs will lower door 1/32” and tilt top
of door forward 7/16”.
•One full turn of both side leveling legs will raise door 3/16” and tilt top
of door 3/8”.
5. Slide the freezer into place leaving a minimum gap of 3/16” between units
for door swing clearance.
6. This last step may require at least one unit to be taken out of location to
properly align units in a built-in application.
7. Properly aligned units should have level doors which are flush and parallel.
