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.

LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to confirm
the unit is level. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side
edge as shown. 1
2. If the unit is not level,
remove grille and
adjust legs as 2
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.

NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready
solution for a handleless, integrated design that can
be easily applied to your U-Line 3000 Series model.
Consult your cabinet manufacturer for applicable
design and installation details. The cabinet
manufacturer’s solution to this design and integration
detail will often result in an integrated panel solution
wherein the size of the panel may result in a height
dimension taller than what we specify. This can be
achieved provided the additional height is positioned
above the appliance door.
NOTICE
The integrated panel aligns with the surrounding
cabinetry and, due to differences in cabinetry,
may not align perfectly with the door.
The appliance will need up to 34-1/2" (876 mm)
to the underside of the counter to leave room for
leveling adjustments.
A single prepared panel with insert must not
weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).
