2. Area should be well ventilated with temperature
above 55° F and below 110°F. Best results are ob­
tained between 70°F and 90°F.
3. Provision for electricity, water and drain connections
should be determined.
4. The unit may be closed in on the top and three sides,
but the front MUST BE unobstructed for air circula­
tion and proper operation. Installation should be
such that the cabinet can be moved forward for ser­
vicing, if necessary.
Level unit
1. After placing unit in position, check to make certain
the unit is level side to side and front to back.
2. Accurate leveling is essential for proper operation.
3. Unit should be shimmed so that it is solid as well
as level. The shims should be of hard permanent
type material such as masonite.
4. Compliance with National Sanitation Foundation
standards require that this type of product be sealed
to the floor at the bottom rail in order to prevent con­
tamination from spills or the entrance of vermin.
Therefore, we recommend that when installing this
product you seal it to the floor in accordance with
those standards. A silicone-type sealer is recom­
mended.
For the plumber
Connect to water
(Observe local codes)
1. Use V a ” OD soft copper tubing for the cold water
supply.
2. Provide a convenient manual shut-off valve in the
water line.
3. Position the tubing so it can enter the access hole
located in the right-hand rear of the cabinet. The tub­
ing shoud extend beyond the cabinet front when the
cabinet is pushed back into position. See Figure 5.
NOTE:
Always purge the water line before making the final con­
nection to the inlet of the water valve to prevent possi­
ble water valve malfunction.
1. Place unit so the front side will be completely
unobstructed to provide proper air flow.
After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing to meet
the connection at the water valve. The garden hose
threaded compression fitting is found in the parts bag.
This joint provides a convenient disconnect for service.
Be sure the tubing is clear of compressor, to prevent
rattle.
