First I need to describe the "INSTALL KIT" It consists of 3 main parts.
A short 50 amp cord
A 50 amp plug
1 50 amp socket
now.. The procedure... First you find a spot,, (I will describe that) then you decide if you are going to use the short cord on the oultlet or plug side.
IN your case, I assume there is storage below the fridge.. So find your power path.. IF you are HARD WIRED (I assume you are) remove the cord from the breaker box/distribution panel route it to the area where you plan on parking the auto-former and put the outlet on it.. Pay attention to where the wires go Green to the roundish pin, White opposite, red and black to the sides)
Put the plug on the supplied cable and route it from the hughes compartment to the transfer switch.. breaker box,, Same consideration, Red/Black to the breakers, Green to the bare wire buss, White to the White.
Now, turn off your main breaker plug the plug into the socket and plug in, take voltage measurements to insure you have it wired properly. IF so, unplug
Unplug the plug from teh socket and plug in the autoformer. Job done. ALMOST
Make sure storage compartment with autoformer is well vented.
IF YOU USE A POWER LINE PROTECTOR (What we call surge guards with an LCD display) you plug it into the autoformer and then plug the Distriution panel into it.
