Environmental Requirements
This unit is designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and
100°F (37°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 (5°C) or below are not covered by the

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 of power cord, removal of
power cord, removal of power plug, or direct
wiring can cause serious injury, fire and or 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. GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location
appliances and is not recommended for your unit because
a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be
sure to consult your local codes.
See CUT-OUT DIMENSIONS for recommended receptacle
location.

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 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.
U-Line products are designed and manufactured
to be seamlessly installed in the specified cutout
openings shown, and variance to the floors or
cabinetry must be accounted for in your
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.

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. Follow the instructions below to secure the
anti-tip plate to the unit. Locate your anti-tip bracket and
5 #8x5/8" (#8x16 mm) screws included with your unit.
TOP MOUNT
Top mount configurations work well with fully secured
wood or laminate countertops.
1. Align the bracket on top of your unit as shown above.
The bracket must be used to ensure a secure mount.
2. Using 2 of the supplied #8x5/8" (#8x16 mm) screws,
install 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 Leveling section).
4. Open door completely. Make certain door clears
surrounding cabinetry.
5. Using a 3/32" (3 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.
6. Install the remaining 3 #8x5/8" (#8x16 mm) screws
into the plate using a #2 Phillips head screwdriver.
SIDE MOUNT
Side mount configurations work well if you have a granite
countertop or do not wish to mount the bracket to the
underside of your countertop.
1. Align the bracket to the hinge side of the unit as shown
above.
2. Using 2 of the supplied #8x5/8" (#8x16 mm) screws,
install 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.

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 feet as
necessary. Use
included tool to adjust the height of the rear leveler
feet. Turn screw clockwise to raise the rear foot,
counter-clockwise to lower.
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 feet 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
feet. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the
opening. Adjust the front feet to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful to not
entangle the power 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 tape from the glass shelves and wipe out
the inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened
cloth.

INTEGRATED PANEL
NOTICE
Due to differences in surrounding cabinetry the
panel may not perfectly align with door. The
procedure below is designed to provide a
finished integrated panel that seamlessly
integrates with surrounding cabinetry.
Panel Preparation
A full integrated door panel completely covers the door
frame and provides a built-in appearance.
NOTICE
The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs
(10 kg).
It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are
drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid
splits in the wood when hardware is installed.
1. Cut the panels to the dimensions listed in the
appropriate diagram below.
2. Optional: Stain or Finish panel to desired stain or color.
Be sure to closely follow the instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
3. Optional: Install handles and hardware.
NOTICE
When applying an integrated panel to a unit,
ensure that both sides are finished in order to
prevent warping. In some overlay panel/frame
installations, the panel may be visible through
the glass while the door is open.
Integrated Panel Dimensions
Handleless Integrated Door Panel
The following procedure is designed to provide a finished,
handleless solid panel for a 24" (600 mm) door that
seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry.
Note: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready
solution for a handle-less, 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.
