UNPACKING:
Check Cabinet and Power Module for freight damage.
This cabinet was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our plant.
Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier upon acceptance of the shipment.
Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must be made on the carrier as follows:
Exterior damage: Make thorough damage notation on your delivery receipt and have driver
acknowledge by signature and date. Send a written request for an inspection
report from carrier. Include the name of carrier representative and the date the inspection
was requested. Retain inspection report and receipt for filing of the claim.
Concealed damage: This must be reported to the carrier within fifteen days. Obtain inspection
report from the carrier. Retain the inspection report for filing of the claim.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO MANUFACTURER- FILE THE
CLAIM WITH THE CARRIER.
Protect kitchen floor. Remove all packing materials from cabinet and if there was no freight damage destroy
cartoning, plastic bags and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should never use these items for play. Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts and
destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture. Carefully read and follow the child safety
precautions in the pamphlet enclosed with your new refrigerator. It is published by the Association of Home
Appliance Manufacturers.
Leveling Legs are mounted on the bottom of the cabinet. Adjust Leveling Legs to approximate desired height. Do
NOT extend Legs more than 41/4" out from BOTTOM OF CABINET or they will not be secure.
NOTE: Front legs have choice of two locations. This enables installer to recess kick area to more closely
approximate kick depth of various style cabinetry. It is important, therefore, to exercise caution to avoid “tipping”
the product and to secure product carefully.
Before you begin - Read these instructions completely and carefully
IMPORTANT - Save these instructions for local inspector's use.
IMPORTANT - OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING CODES AND ORDINANCES.
Note to Installer - Be sure to leave these instructions with the Consumer.
Note to Consumer - Keep these instructions with your Use and Care Book for future reference.

– READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION –
The Module comes with a 3-prong power supply cord. It must be plugged into a mating 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp separately
fused, 3-prong grounded outlet serving only this product, and wired in accordance with National and Local Electrical
Codes and ordinances. A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR
ADAPTER PLUG.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM THE POWER SUPPLY CORD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may be affected. Operating the refrigerator with
insufficient voltage can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect your
voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb.
NOTE: Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other
electrical components.
Do not overcrowd the shelves or block cold air vents. Do not install a shelf closer than 8" from the top in the refrigerator
section.Donot allow packagestooverhangsides or rearofshelvesasthis will blockaircirculation,makingthe refrigerator
less efficient.
INSTALLING THE CABINET
Before placing cabinet in opening, check level of floor and adjust
leveling legs accordingly. Locate and mark the center of two wall
studs in the back of the rough opening at the height of the cabi-
net mounting bracket. The depth of the rough opening should be
at least 24". If the rough opening depth is more than 24", than a
piece of wood must be secured crosswise on the wall into studs
at the height of the cabinet mounting bracket. Move cabinet into
opening and adjust legs again if necessary to insure that the unit
is level. Check fit of toe plate and grill.
IMPORTANT: To prevent the cabinet from
tipping forward, install two screws thru the
cabinet mounting bracket into each of the
two studs located in the wall behind the cabinet.
Drill and screw through the side trim into adjourning
cabinet and/or walls.

✷After properly installing
both Cabinets, drill trim
and install pan head
screws (provided).
When two units are installed together, a
231⁄2" x 12"(min.) divider panel needs to be
installed between the two modules (refer to
illustration) with self-tapping screws. The divider
panel can be made of any material available
i.e. 1⁄32" aluminum, 1⁄8"-1⁄4" wood paneling).
Locate the divider panel approximately 1" down
from top of cabinet and flush with back of
cabinet. Drill three pilot holes approximately 1⁄2"
up from bottom of divider panel, through panel,
and into cabinet. Secure panel to cabinet with
three screws using pilot holes previously drilled.
INSTALLING TWO UNITS SIDE-BY-SIDE
KICKPLATE INSTALLATION
Two clips are supplied to facilitate holding your kick plate (not supplied) in place. Simply
position and attach these clips to the rear of the kick plate so they snap on to the leveling legs,
for easier access or removal. (Notching of upper corners may be required to clear hinges).

IMPORTANT:
Re-check Cabinet installation for:
✷Proper space left for Grille installation.
✷Cabinet levelness.
✷Door opening and closing appearance.
✷SAFETY … To prevent unit from tipping forward:
> Are screws installed securely through front Trim into adjoining cabinetry and/or walls?
>Is Cabinet mounting bracket secured to wall studs?
After above checks have been made, proceed with refrigeration installation.
MODULE INSTALLATION
Place module on top of cabinet with the rear shoulder screws resting on the locator brackets behind the front slots.
Slidemodule towardrear ofcabinetuntil therear shoulderscrews engagetheslots inthe rearof thebrackets.Rest
the front shoulder screws into the front slots of the brackets.
IMPORTANT: Check to make sure wiring and Icemaker tubing is clear and not interfering with module seal.
If possible, do NOT start Product during construction, as dust can block Module condenser coils. If dust
accumulates on coils, vacuum immediately, using a soft brush attachment.
Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F (15°C) or rise above 110°F
(43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures.
Do not overcrowd the shelves or block cold air ducts. Do not install a shelf closer than 8" from the top in
the refrigerator section. Do not allow packages to overhang sides or rear of shelves as this will block air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.

Installation Checks
•Cabinet Mounting Bracket must be installed correctly and anchored to prevent cabinet from
tipping forward.
• Rear of Module should be flush with the rear of the cabinet. Module should not stick back
beyond the rear wall of the cabinet.
•Module should be engaged in the slots on the Module positioning brackets and seated on the
foam seal without air gaps. Module positioning brackets should not be removed.
•All wires from the lower cabinet to Module must be securely connected. If a problem is
suspected, inspect both male and female plugs and insure that terminals in plug are
sufficiently forward to engage.
•Cabinet must be level both side to side and front to back. All legs should rest firmly on the
floor. Cabinetry on both sides of the cabinet must be secure and level to prevent the cabinet
from shifting when the doors are opened.
•Doors must not hit adjacent walls or counter tops.
•Gaskets must seal completely. If gaskets seal well, no further adjustments need to be made.
•On models with ice makers, check water connections for leaks. If water is not yet connected,
the plastic water fill tube to the freezer compartment must either be attached to the solenoid or
sealed to prevent air leaking into the cabinet.
•Brown and white wires should be connected to the solenoid. The remaining Molexx connector
plugs into the Power Module.
Common Installation Errors
•Any air leaks between the module and the cabinet will affect the cabinet from operating
efficiency.
•The water supply line and electric outlet must be located in a manner that will not interfere with
Module to cabinet alignment when the unit is pushed into place.
• Power cord to outlet sitting under the Power Module will create an air leak.
• Ice maker fill tube (plastic) not connected or loose creating a water and/or air leak.
•Plugs from cabinet not connected to ice maker and/or Power Module.
• Floor under products lower than finished floor making the unit inaccessible for service. Floor
under product must be strong enough to support weight of fully loaded refrigerator.
•No 3" removable panel above grill making the Power Module inaccessible for service.
• Product not anchored properly (to prevent tipping). Bracket not secured to rear wall studs or
screws through product side trim into adjoining cabinets or walls.
