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

Electrical
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 DIMENSIONS for recommended
receptacle location.

Cutout Dimensions
PREPARE SITE
Your U-Line product has been designed exclusively for
a built-in installation. When built-in, your unit does
not require additional air space for top, sides, or rear.
However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed.
The product is designed and manufactured for
seamless integration in the specified cutout opening
shown, which requires precise measurements. The
opening must be square and plumb front to back.
Although not required, you may choose to increase
the overall cutout width for ease of installation.
The Modular 3000 Series units are engineered with a
variety of adjustment features to help ensure a
seamless installation. Adjustable doors, leveling legs
and grille will assist in fine tuning the installation.
All 3000 Series models fully integrate into
overlay/face frame, inset or European/frameless
cabinet styles and install seamlessly into standard 24"
(610 mm) depth cabinet base.
CAUTION
Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed
cabinet door.

Side-by-Side Installation
OTHER SITE REQUIREMENTS
Side-by-Side Installation
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
electrical specifications requirements.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the total
of the widths listed under Cutout Dimensions in each
unit’s Installation Guide. Each door can be opened
individually (one at a time) without interference.
However, to ensure unobstructed door swing
(opening both doors at the same time), 1/4" (6.4
mm) of space needs to be maintained between the
units.
Hinge-by-Hinge Installation (Mullion)
When installing two units hinge-by-hinge, 13/16" (22
mm) is required for integrated models. Additional
space may be needed for any knobs, pulls or handles
installed.
Stainless steel models which include the standard
stainless handle will require 4-9/16" (116 mm) to
allow both doors to open to 90° at the same time.

Side-by-Side Installation 1
Anti-Tip Bracket
CAUTION
The anti-tip bracket must be installed to prevent
the unit from tipping when doors are fully
opened or excess weight is placed on the front
of the unit.
The anti-tip bracket has multiple mounting options.
Mounting will depend on your particular cabinet
configuration. Locate 3 #8x5/8" screws included with
your unit.
TOP MOUNT
For ease of installation, the anti-tip bracket is pre-
installed in the top mount position.
1. Completely slide the unit into its position in the
cabinet. Be certain unit height is properly adjusted.
(See GENERAL INSTALLATION).
2. Open door completely. Make certain door clears
surrounding cabinetry.
3. Using a 3/32" (2.50 mm) drill bit, drill 3 pilot holes
5/8" (16 mm) deep into bottom of counter top. Use
the anti-tip bracket as a template.
4. Install 3 #8x5/8" screws into the plate using a #2
Phillips head screwdriver.
SIDE MOUNT
Side mount position is used when you are unable to
mount the bracket to the underside of your
countertop.
1. Remove the pre-installed anti-tip bracket from the
top mount position and align the bracket to the
hinge side of the unit as shown above.
2. Reinstall the 2 #8x5/8" screws into the plate using
a #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
3. Completely slide the unit into its position in the
cabinet. Be certain unit height is properly adjusted.
(See GENERAL INSTALLATION).
4. Open door completely. Make certain door clears
surrounding cabinetry.
5. Using a 3/32" (2.50 mm) drill bit, drill 3 pilot holes
5/8" (16 mm) deep into cabinetry frame using the
anti-tip bracket as a template.
6. Install 3 #8x5/8" screws into the plate using a #2
Phillips head screwdriver.

Anti-Tip Bracket 1
General Installation
1. Use a level to confirm
the unit is level. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side edge
as shown.
2. If the unit is not level, remove grille and adjust legs
as necessary. Use included tool to adjust the height
of the rear legs.
3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cutout
opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit
rear height of 1/8" (3 mm) less than the 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. Adjust 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.
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 the interior packing material and wipe out
the inside of the unit with a clean, water-
dampened cloth.

shipment. However, their alignment could have been
disturbed during shipment or during overlay panel
installation. Check each drawer to confirm that it is
aligned:
•Side-to-Side —When viewed from the top, the
drawer front should be square with the sides of the
cabinet.
•Front-to-Back —When viewed from the side,
the
drawer front should be
straight with the cabinet’s
sides, not cocked forward
or back.
•Top-to-Bottom —
When viewed from the front, the drawer should be
level horizontally.
