Important Note:
To assure sufficient air supply and circulation to the
condensing unit,
a minimum clearance of 12" above the grill and 3" on each
side and back of the cabinet must be provided
(see figure 1). If necessary,
special venting or air supply ducts must be installed by the installer for this
purpose. 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.

FLOOR LOADS
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
