keep the doors and drawers taped closed. The anti-tip
components supplied with Built-In units must be used as

a Built-In unit must be extended to the floor to complete
the installation. If a Built-In unit were to tip and fall, it could
cause serious injury or death!

INSTALL THE HEATER
Note: The heater assembly MUST be attached to the right
side of the left-hand unit.
1Clear the foil from the mounting holes of the heater
assembly.
2Place the heater against the right-hand side of the unit
with wires up and foil side in, positioning the heater 2”
(51 mm) from the top edge of the cabinet and 1” (25
mm) from the rear edge of the cabinet.
3Using the heater as a template, mark the heater
mounting holes on the cabinet with a pencil, then
remove the heater.
4Drill a 7/64" (3 mm) hole at each marked location.
Note: To avoid drilling through the inner liner, use a
short drill bit inserted into the drill chuck so that no
more than 1/2” (13 mm) to 3/4” (19 mm) of bit is
protruding.
5Attach the heater to the unit using the #8-32 × 1/2" pan
head screws into the drilled holes.
6Remove the four-prong safety plug from the panel-
mounted four-prong receptacle at the rear side of
the power cord box.
7Connect the heater’s four-prong plug to the receptacle.
8Attach the 5/16" × 1/2" plastic cord clip in a convenient
location near the water filter.
9Route the heater wires through the plastic cord clip and
any other available wire clips.

Install the unit into the left-hand side of the rough-in
opening as specified in the installation guide.
INSTALL THE MAIN FRAME SHIM

the left-hand side main frame of the right-hand unit.
1Remove the left-side main frame from the right-hand
unit.
2Remove the backing paper from the double-stick tape
that is attached to the main frame shim.
3Align the shim to the main frame so the two holes in the
shim are at the same height as the two middle main
frame mounting holes. Make sure the shim is tight to
the bend in the main frame, and the shim is in front of
the section of the main frame with the mounting holes.
4Attach the shim to the main frame. Make sure the holes
in the shim are next to but not over the main frame
mounting holes.

threaded inserts are already installed at the top. Skip these
instructions.
1Open both grilles, and locate the hexagonal holes at
the top adjoining corners of the units (two for each

a) Use a small screwdriver or similar tool to remove
the foam insulation from each hole to a depth of no
more than 1/2” (13 mm).
b) Screw the thread insert installation tool into a
threaded insert.
c) Position the threaded insert over one of the
hexagonal holes, and tap the threaded insert into
the hole.
d) Using a 1/2" wrench at the tool bolt top and a 9/16”
open-end wrench at the collar, spin the tool bolt
clockwise while holding the collar stationary. Stop
when it will spin no further.
