Environmental Requirements

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.

WARNING

!

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, 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.

Side-by-Side Installation

Two units may be installed side-by-side.

Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the cutout

dimension of a single unit times two.

No trim kit is required. However, 1/4" (6 mm) of space needs to

be maintained between the units to ensure unobstructed door

swing.

Units must operate from separate, properly grounded electrical

receptacles placed according to each unit’s electrical

specifications requirements.

Side-by-Side Installation with Bracket

1. Slide both units out so screws on top of units are easily

accessible.

3. Place bracket over holes and attach to unit with two screws

removed in step 2 using a T-25 Torx driver. Tighten screws

fully.

4. Gently push units into position. Be careful not to entangle

the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.

5. 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.
