Do not at any time obstruct the grill area in front of the cabinet in any way, and never place or store anything on top of the cabinet machine compartment. These rules are essential for maximum cooling capacity and long life of refrigeration parts.

The floor at the final location site must be level, free of vibration and strong enough to support the total combined weights of your new model plus the maximum product load which might be placed into it. A fully loaded reach-in or roll-in model may reach 2,000 - 3,000 pounds. To estimate the possible product load weight, assume that each cubic foot of storage space weighs approximately 35 pounds. Multiply 35 pounds by the amount of cubic feet in the cabinet and obtain the product load weight. For example, a 20 cubic foot refrigerator can hold
