INSTALLATION
Preparing the Installation Site
1. Cut the appropriate opening in the countertop for the unit
being installed. Refer to "Countertop Cutout Dimensions"
in this section.
2. If installing the control panel remotely, cut and drill the
appropriate holes in the vertical surface where the control
panel will be installed. Refer to the "Installing the Control
Panel Remotely" procedure for cutout dimensions.
3. Make structural modifications or add bracing underneath
the countertop to ensure the countertop will support the
weight of the unit and its contents. Make sure a minimum
2" (51 mm) clearance will be available between the
condensing unit and any interior surface.
NOTE: The countertop must be level to ensure proper draining
of the refrigerated well.
4. Cut two openings in the cabinetry to provide proper ventilation
for the condensing unit. Louvered or grill-style panels should
be installed in the openings to protect the condensing unit.
• Openings should be a minimum of 12" x 12" (31 x 31 cm)
or 144 square inches (961 square cm).
• One opening should be located in front of the condenser
coils with the other opening on the opposite side.
NOTE: Ducting may be required to ensure proper ventilation
inside the cabinet.
5. Make sure a grounded electrical receptacle of the
correct voltage, size, and plug configuration is within 6'
(1829 mm) of the mounting location for the control panel.
See the SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
Installing the Unit
NOTICE
Use caution and avoid hitting condensing unit hoses/lines
when installing unit. Damage caused during installation is
not covered under warranty.
1. Lift the unit out of the shipping frame and carefully lower it
into the countertop cutout.This step requires two or more
people, depending on the unit.
2. Apply National Sanitation Foundation-approved (NSF-
approved) silicone sealant around the edge of the unit to
seal it to the countertop.
NOTE: Units ordered with the optional factory installed gasket
do not require silicone sealant.
NOTE: If excessive condensation appears underneath the
countertop during operation, apply polyurethane-based
foam sealant in the gap between the underside of the
countertop and the unit.
3. Install the control panel in the desired location.
• The control panel can be installed on one of three sides
of the condensing unit support frame. Do not install the
control panel in front of the condenser coils.
• The control panel can be installed remotely within
48" (1219 mm) of the condensing unit. Refer to the
"Installing the Control Panel Remotely" procedure in
this section.
4. Connect the 1" drain fitting to a trap and drain line. If a
trap and drain line are not available, a catch pan (not
supplied) must be used under the drain fitting to contain
water draining from the well enclosure.
NOTE: Consult a qualified plumber for proper trap and drain
installation that conforms to local plumbing codes.

5. Clean the well enclosure thoroughly in preparation for
initial operation. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section for
proper cleaning procedures.
NOTE: If a catch pan is used underneath the drain fitting, make
sure the pan is emptied regularly to prevent over-flowing.
6. Rotate the condensing unit, if necessary. Refer to the
"Rotating the Condensing Unit" in this section.
7. Plug the unit into a properly grounded electrical receptacle
of the correct voltage, size, and plug configuration. See the
SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
Rotating the Condensing Unit
1. Remove the two control panel bolts that secure the control
panel to the condensing unit support frame. Set aside the
control panel.
2. Place blocks underneath the condensing unit for support
during rotation.
3. Remove the 16 support bolts (four on each support) that
secure the condensing unit vertical supports to the upper
support brackets on the underside of the well enclosure.
4. Rotate the condensing unit 90° or 180°, depending on the
installation site.
NOTE: Do not rotate the condensing unit in a direction that will
put the evaporator lines or any other obstruction in front
of the condenser coil.
5. Reattach the vertical supports to the upper support brackets
on the well enclosure using the 16 support bolts.
6. Reattach the control panel to the condensing unit support
frame using the two control panel bolts.
