QUICK START GUIDE
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.
Damages caused by ambient temperatures of
40°F (4°C) or below are not covered by the
warranty.
Electrical
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, re, 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 qualied 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

QUICK START GUIDE
Door Swing
For Integrated models that are installed adjacent to a wall,
1/2” (13 mm) clearance is recommended from wall on
hinge side to allow the door to open 90°. Allow for
additional space for any knobs or pulls installed on the
integrated panel/frame.
Stainless Steel models that are installed adjacent to a wall
require 2-1/4” (57 mm) door clearance on hinge side to
allow for door handle.
Units have a zero clearance when installed adjacent to
cabinets.
Door Adjustments
DOOR ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Align and adjust the door if it is not level or not sealing
properly. If the door is not sealed, the unit may not cool
properly, or excessive frost or condensation may form in
the interior.
NOTICE
Properly aligned, the door’s gasket should be
rmly in contact with the cabinet all the way
around the door (no gaps). Carefully examine the
door’s gasket to ensure that it is rmly in contact
with the cabinet. Also make sure the door gasket
is not pinched on the hinge side of the door.
Do not attempt to use the door to raise or pivot
your unit. This would put excessive stress on the
hinge system.
Alignment and Adjustment Procedure
1. Open door and remove gasket near the hinges.
2. Using a T-25 Torx bit, loosen each pair of Torx head
screws both the upper and lower hinge plates.
3. Square and align door as necessary.
4. Tighten Torx head screws on hinge.
5. Reinstall gasket into the channel starting at the corner.

opening. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.

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
