Environmental Requirements
u-line.com
Environmental Requirements
This model is intended for indoor/interior applications only
and is not to be used in installations that are open/
exposed to natural elements.
This unit is designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and
100°F (38°C). Higher ambient temperatures may reduce
the unit’s ability to reach low temperatures and/or reduce
ice production on applicable models.
For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight
and away from heat generating equipment.
In climates where high humidity and dew points are
present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces.
This is considered normal. The condensation will
evaporate when the humidity drops.
CAUTION
!
Damages caused by ambient temperatures of
40°F (4°C) or below are not covered by the
warranty.

WARNING
!
SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding
Required. Never attempt to repair or perform
maintenance on the unit until the electricity has
been disconnected.
Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
Altering, cutting or removing power cord,
removing power plug, or direct wiring can cause
serious injury, fire, loss of property and/or life,
and will void the warranty.
Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.
Always keep your working area dry.
NOTICE
Electrical installation must observe all state and
local codes. This unit requires connection to a
grounded (three-prong), polarized receptacle
that has been placed by a qualified electrician.
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,
60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current). An
individual, properly grounded branch circuit or circuit
breaker is recommended. A GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location
appliances and is not recommended for your unit because
it could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure
to consult your local codes.
See CUTOUT & PRODUCT DIMENSIONS for recommended
receptacle location.

Side-by-Side Installation
u-line.com
Side-by-Side Installation
Two units may be installed side-by-side.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the cutout
dimension of a single unit times two.
No trim kit is required. However, 1/4" (6 mm) of space
needs to be maintained between the units to ensure
unobstructed door swing.
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
electrical specifications requirements.
Side-by-Side Installation with Bracket
1. Slide both units out so screws on top of units are easily
accessible.
2. Remove screws as shown below.
3. Place bracket over holes and attach to unit with two
screws removed in step 2 using a T-25 Torx driver.
Tighten screws fully.
4. Gently push units into position. Be careful not to
entangle the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.
5. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to
side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top
surface should be approximately 1/8" (3 mm) below
the countertop.

LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to
conrm the unit is
level. Level should
be placed along top
edge and side edge
as shown.
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the legs on the corners of
the unit as necessary.
3. Conrm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps as needed.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room oor is higher than the oor in the cutout
opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1⁄8” (3 mm) less than opening’s rear height.
Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front
legs. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the
opening. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not
to entangle the cord or water and drain lines, if
applicable.
3. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to
side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top
surface should be approximately 1⁄8” (3 mm) below
the countertop.
4. Install the anti-tip bracket.
5. Remove interior packing material and wipe out the
inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
