Installation:
After the carton has been removed, check for any
concealed damage. Check the unit interior and
exterior. After this check, the unit may be installed.
Open the door and remove all packing materials,
including warranty packet, tape, and warranty
registration. Note: Keep the filler plate for use
when reversing door swing.
Wipe the interior of the cabinet with soap and
water to remove any manufacturing or shipping
residue.
The RFE33 will work fine as a free standing
refrigerator, minimal attention to leveling, electrical
power supply and no obstruction of air flow will
provide an adequate environment.
The RFE33 is only designed to be operated
indoors. Malfunctions due to outdoor operation will
not be covered by warranty.
Excessive heat (over 100
o
F.) will cause poor
performance.
When built in, some precautions must be taken:
Size: The space occupied by the refrigerator is:
•
15
1
⁄
4
" wide (including screw heads at the
base)
•
24" deep to the front edge of the door handle
•
33
3
⁄
8
" high (33
7
⁄
8
" to the top of the door
hinge).
There is a kick plate at the bottom front of the
cabinet, the louvers in that kick plate allow air
to flow through the cooling mechanism, and
those louvers must not be blocked at any time.
The cabinet legs should be flush with the floor, so
that the refrigerator may be pulled out without
damage to the floor.
The electrical supply must be near enough so that
an extension cord is not used. The power
requirements are 115 volts AC, 60 cycle, single
phase (normal U.S. house current). Scotsman
recommends that the refrigerator not be
connected to a circuit with high amperage
equipment already on it. Check with a licensed
electrician for recommendations. Be sure to follow
all applicable electrical codes.
The RFE33 is UL listed, meaning it has met
certain requirements for electrical safety. Any
modification or substitution of components may
violate those requirements, and Scotsman will not
be responsible for any RFE33 so modified. Always
use Scotsman replacement parts.
