Models SDB/SDP Installation & Operation Manual

General Information

•For units equipped with a power cord, the cord and plug may be aligned with a recess in the back panel to allow the unit to be pushed closer to the wall. For correct alignment, the wall outlet must be located 4” - 10” above the floor.

•Floor must be level in area of installation.

Preparing the Space

CAUTION Make sure the floor under the 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.

NOTE: If unit has been laid on its back or sides, place unit upright and allow minimum of 24 hours before connecting to a power source. Failure to follow this procedure may damage the compressor and void warranty.

1.Make sure the space opening is correctly sized for the unit. See Dimension drawings at the back of this manual for correct dimensions.

NOTE: For a cabinet door to open properly, the door must open a minimum of 90°. Use a minimum 3” filler in corner installations to assure a 90° opening. Allow 24” clearance in front of the unit for full door swing and shelf/drawer pull-out.

2.Check that the following are level and square:

•Front and interior opening

•Installation opening and floor surface

NOTE: The floor under the unit must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor.

Casters or Legs

Refer to the instructions included with the Casters or Legs Kit.

Installing the Unit

CAUTION If unit has been laid on its back or sides, place unit upright and allow minimum of 24 hours before

connecting power.

1.With power applied to the unit, check that the lighting and cooling functions operate properly, then turn off power to the wall outlet and/or circuit breaker.

2.Position the cabinet into place using rollers when necessary.

NOTE: Proper air flow around the condensing unit is necessary for efficient operation. Never obstruct the air flow in and out of the condensing unit.

3.When cabinet is in place, check installation with carpenter’s level. When the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side, accumulated water will drain out of cabinet to evaporator drain.

4.Turn on power to the outlet and/or circuit breaker.

Electric Condensate Evapaway (Optional)

For installation in areas of high humidity, a 115- volt electric condensate pan can be installed underneath the cabinet to collect and evaporate the condensate from the cabinet evaporator. A 6’ 3-prong plug is included. A separate circuit should be provided for the heater. The kit can be used only on cabinets equipped with 4” minimum legs; it cannot be used on units equipped with platform or base plate kits. Follow instructions supplied with the kit.

Base Plate Installation (Optional)

Once the unit is secured in place, install the base plate brackets to the cabinet bottom in the holes provided. Attach base plate to brackets. Refer to the installation instructions included with the Base Plate Kit.
