Max. Over Dimensions			Min. Capacity	Min. Shelf Area
Width	Height	Depth
24�	36�	25-1/2�	5.5 ou. ft.	7.9 aq. ft.

The method of computing total refrigerated volume and total shelf area of compact refrigerators shall be as specified in ANSI/AHAM HRF-1.

The compact refrigerators shall operate on a 115 volt, 60 Hz, A.C. electrical system. A three-wire cord with a three-prong attachment plug shall provide grounding of the refrigerators and shall extend at least 5 feet but not more than 9 feet beyond the point at which it is attached to the back of the cabinet.

The refrigerators shall be capable of producing average cabinet air temperatures in the general food storage compartment of 36^o(F) in an ambient of 70^o(F), 38^o(F) in an ambient of 90^o(F) and 43^o(F) in an ambient temperatures listed above, the average package temperatures in the low temperature food compartment shall be lower than 32^oF. The performance test procedures shall be as specified in ANSI/AHAM HRF-1.

The average energy consumption per cycle, type and net refrigerated volume shall be tested in accordance with the Federal Register Vol. 42, No. 178, Wednesday, September 14, 1977.
