PERLICK RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION MANUAL

PREPARING THE SPACE

CAUTION If the unit is to be installed under a countertop, it is recommended that the countertop be supported by a structure other

than the unit itself to prevent damage to the unit.

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.

1). Make sure the space opening is correctly sized for the unit. See chart below for finished rough opening requirements:

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 full 90° opening. Allow 25” clearance in front of unit for full door swing and shelf/drawer pull out for all units.

2). Check that the following are level and square:

•Front and interior opening

•Installation opening and floor surface

•Countertop bottom front edge

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

CAUTION To prevent possible damage to the countertop, do not place heavy

objects on countertop directly over unit.

INSTALLING THE UNIT

1). Plug the unit into the 15 amp grounded electrical outlet located within the installation opening. With power applied to the unit, check that the lighting and cooling functions operate properly. Turn off the power to the wall outlet at the circuit breaker.

2). With all surfaces in the installation opening square and level, refer to Figure 4 on page 7 and perform the following steps to level the unit:

•At the front of the opening, measure from the floor to the bottom of the front edge of the countertop.

•Measure from the floor surface to the top of the unit at the rear corners.

•Adjust the unit legs so these two measurements are equal. Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn legs clockwise to lower the unit or counterclockwise to raise it.

NOTE: Legs should not extend more than 3/4” from the bottom of the unit.

3). Slide the unit into position in the opening. Make sure the rear leveling legs slide under the ant-tip brackets. Push the unit into the opening until the bottom front edge of the unit is flush with the surrounding cabinetry, or until the rear legs are tight against the anti-tip brackets.

4). Shim the front of the unit so the front face is flush with the surrounding cabinetry. Adjust the front legs to support the countertop at the shimmed height. Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn the legs clockwise to lower the unit or counterclockwise to raise it. Countertop should be resting on top of the unit.

NOTE: Countertop should be resting evenly on entire top of the unit. Shim if necessary to prevent damage to the countertop.
