ZUGSS Unified Grille Panel Kit
For side bg side installation, order ZUGSS grille panel

Locations
The water line can be routed through the floor or

• The icemaker water line should be:
- Approximately 3-1/2" from the floor on the back
wall, or 3-1/2" from the back wall on the floon
- At least 5" from either side of the opening.
A 115 volt, 60 Hz 15 or 20 amp power supply is
recommended. An individual properly grounded
branch circuit or circuit breaker is recommended,
as noted on the rating plate.
• Locate the electrical outlet within 5" x 6" shaded
area shown.
- 2-1/2" from the left side.
Between 75" and 81" from the floon
IMPORTANT: To insure a flush fit and access to the

Grounding the
Refrigerator
IMPORTANT- (Please read carefullg)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
5-prong (grounding) plug that mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize
the possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend two separate 115V, 60Hz, 20 amp
properlg grounded electrical outlets for a side-bg-side
installation of two products. Each electrical outlet
should hove a voltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
Use of Adapter plug
Because of potential hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against use of
an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an
adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
available at most hardware stores.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand and pull the power cord with the other hand. If
this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very
likely to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT
USE the appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safetg hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
FICHED'ADAPTATION
(Fiches d'adaptation non permises au Canada)
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to
a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded
through the house wiring. You should have the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Level
Refrigerator
These products have a A-point leveling system.
The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is
supported by wheels.
• Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to just
barely touch the 2x4 block.
• Turn the 7/16" hex nut located above the front
wheels. Turn to raise or Iowen
• For front leveling legs, use a 1-1/4" open-end
wrench.
• Adjust carefully; the product should be level and
plumb with cabinetry, and should align with toekick
height.
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are
limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1". If
the installation requires more than 84-1/2" height,
the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a
sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could
also be added across the top of the opening to
shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the
refrigerator more than 1", you will damage the
front leveling legs and rear leveling wheels.
