Floor under product MUST be at or above the same level as the surrounding FINISHED floor, for ease of installation and removal.
Electrical: Provide 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, Single Phase, 15 Amp, AC Receptacle. It is recommended that a separate
circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided. *Two (2) units side-by-side require separate circuits, except the
60SS and 72SS (see Instruction Sheet 34361-000). Electrical opening should be placed 78 1/2 inches minimum
from the floor.
Plumbing: Ice maker water supply line (1/4 inch OD copper tubing) to come up the rear of cut-out opening approximately 78 inches off the floor depending on height adjustment. Tubing should then pass around the right side
of the module and around the front to the solenoid valve (see Installation Instructions provided with the unit).
NOTE: Allow for three (3) inch high removable filler panel for easy removal of power module.

INSTALLATION
Select Location
Locate the refrigerator/freezer in the coolest part of the
room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating
ducts or registers.
Do not place the refrigerator/freezer next to heatproducing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry
or an added layer of insulation between the two (2)
appliances will help the refrigerator/freezer operate
more efficiently.
IMPORTANT
When installing the water line for the ice maker, be
sure to install a SHUT-OFF VALVE at a convenient location between the refrigerator and the supply line.
Required water pressure range is 20 to 120 psi.
Also required is an in-line WATER FILTER between the
refrigerator and the supply line to prevent sediment
from blocking water flow through the water solenoid
valve.
NOTE: Self-piercing water valves and plastic tubing
are NOT approved for water supply to ice maker.
Electrical Connection
The module comes with a 3-prong power suppply
cord. It must be plugged into a mating 115 volt, 60
Hz, 15 amp separately fused, 3-prong grounded
outlet serving only this product, and wired in accordance with National and Local Electrical Codes and
ordinances. A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
OR ADAPTER PLUG.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance
of your refrigerator/freezer may be affected. Operating the refrigerator/freezer with insufficient voltage can
damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered
under your warranty. If you suspect your voltage is
high or low, consult your power company for testing.
Do NOT pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any
manner.
NEVER unplug the refrigerator/freezer by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle. To avoid electrical
shock, unplug the refrigerator/freezer before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb.
NOTE: Turning the control to “OFF” turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect power to the light
bulb or other electrical components. The unit MUST
be unplugged or turned off at the circuit breaker.

inch x 12 inch (minimum) divider panel needs to be
installed between the two (2) modules (refer to Illustration) with self-tapping screws. The divider panel can
be made of any material available, (i.e. 1/32 inch
aluminum, 1/8 - 1/4 inch wood paneling), or you can
order Kit # 34747-000 from the Northland Service
Department. Locate the divider panel approximately
one (1) inch down from the top of the cabinet and
flush with the back of the cabinet. Drill three (3) pilot
holes approximately 1/2 inch up from the bottom of

INSTALLING A DOOR FRAME TO THE GLASS DOOR
The door frame can be mounted to the glass door with the glass door on or off the unit. The door handle needs to
be mounted to the door frame before the frame is mounted to the glass door.
Glass Door On the Unit
Lay the unit on its back.1.
Open the glass door 180 degrees and support the glass door during installation.2.
Pull the door gasket back along the top and bottom of the glass door to expose the mounting holes for the 3.
door frame. There are twelve (12) total mounting holes on the door - four (4) on each side and two (2) on the
top and bottom of the door. Screws will be mounted around the outside diameter of the door on the gasket
side.
Line up the door frame that is to be mounted to the unit and mark the hole locations on the door frame. Drill 4.
1/8” pilot holes, 1/4” deep to aid during mounting of the door frame.
Recommended screws to use to mount the door frame are 1 1/4” long wood screws.5.
After installing the mounting screws, press the door gasket back into the gasket retainer. Make sure the gasket 6.
is seated into the corners to retain proper door gasket seal.
Glass Door Off the Unit
Remove the four (4) hinge bolts from the door- two (2) at the top and two (2) at the bottom of the door. Retain 1.
the two (2) hinge spacers. One (1) at the top and one (1) at the bottom of the door.
Lay the glass door on a surface that will protect the door frame during assembly of the frame to the glass door.2.
Complete Steps 3 through 6 as listed in the above section “Glass Door On the Unit”.3.
Mount the door to the unit using the hinge spacers and hinge bolts that were removed when taking the glass 4.
door off the unit.

INSTALLATION CHECKS/COMMON ERRORS
Installation Checks
Anti-tip mounting bracket must be installed cor-•
rectly and anchored to prevent cabinet from tipping forward.
Module should be engaged in the slots on the •
module positioning brackets and seated on the
foam seal without air gaps. Module positioning
brackets should not be removed.
All wires from the lower cabinet to module must •
be securely connected. If a problem is suspected,
inspect both male and female plugs and insure
that the terminals in the plug are sufficiently forward to engage.
Cabinet must be level both side-to-side and •
front-to-back. Front leveling legs should rest
firmly on the floor. Cabinetry on both sides of the
cabinet must be secure and level to prevent the
cabinet from shifting when the doors are opened.
Doors must not hit adjacent walls or countertops.•
Gaskets must seal completely. If gaskets seal well, •
no further adjustments need to be made.
On models with ice makers, check water connec-•
tions for leaks. If water is not yet connected, the
plastic water fill tube to the freezer compartment
must either be attached to the solenoid or sealed
to prevent air leaking into the cabinet.
Brown and white wires should be connected to the •
solenoid. The remaining Molex connector plugs
into the power module.
Do NOT overcrowd the shelves or block cold air •
ducts.
Do NOT install a refrigerator shelf closer than 8 •
inches from the interior top.
Do NOT allow packages to overhang sides or rear •
of shelves as this will block air circulation, making
the refrigerator less efficient.
Common Installation Errors
Any air leaks between the module and the cabinet •
will keep the cabinet from operating efficiently.
The water supply line and electric outlet must be •
located in a manner that will not interfere with

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
If product does not start when plugged in, check the
following:
Does the light bulb go on when the refrigerator •
door is opened? If NOT, check bulb, then...
-Is the cord from the lower cabinet plugged •
into the module?
-Is the power cord plugged in at the recep-•
tacle?
-Is the circuit breaker or fuse ”on”? Check •
by plugging another electric device into the
outlet.
If light bulb DID go on when the door was •
opened...
-Turn the defrost timer clockwise (might be •
in “defrost”) until compressor starts.
If motor “hums”, but does not start...•
-Check for adequate line voltage at the •
outlet.
-The module may have been transported or •
stored on its side or upside down, causing
temporary displacement of motor oil. Let
rest 24 hours, then plug in again.

USE AND CARE GUIDE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
CONGRATULATIONS! You are now the proud
owner of a superb, beautiful and durable addition to
your kitchen. The following information will help you
get the most pleasure from your purchase.
Using your refrigerator...
Cool flowing air keeps your refrigerated foods fresh.
Large containers placed close together may restrict the
flow of air. Space food so cool air can flow around it.
To retain maximum moisture and flavor, cover containers or seal food in moisture proof wrap. Odorous foods which might affect others should always be
covered.
Meat, fish and poultry can be stored safely in the refrigerator section for a few days, but as a general rule,
the freezer should be utilized for longer storage.
Vegetables and fruits should be washed, dried and
stored in the slide-out crisper. They will last longer in
closed plastic containers or wrapped in plastic film.
Cover left-overs and use within a couple of days.
ually removes the frost.
Varying amounts of frost will form occasionally in the
freezer compartment, especially in areas near the top
air return. This is normal adjunct of the moist cold air
circulating in the refrigerator section to help food stay
fresh longer.
If your freezer has an icemaker...
First buckets may contain contamination from new
installation. Throw away the first two harvests or until
the ice is free of discoloration and taste.
The icemaker makes ice once the freezer is cold. It
will turn off automatically when the ice bucket is full,
provided the bucket is properly positioned.
Lift the Stop Arm up out of the way when removing
and replacing the container.
CAUTION
Never place fingers, foreign objects or food packages
near the Ejector Blade.
Shelves adjust to many positions, allowing versatile
storage and maximum use of space. The adjustable
door shelves hold abundant storage, even tall bottles.
Firmly lock shelves in place before use.
NOTE: Do NOT block air coming into the refrigerator
section. Food or liquids can freeze if placed too close
to inlet air.
All refrigerator crispers, and also the freezer basket
supplied on the side-by-side models, are designed to
be at the very BOTTOM of their compartments.
Using your freezer...
Meats, fish and poultry pre-packed in plastic (self-service) wrap can be stored in the freezer for a couple of
weeks. For longer freezer storage, wrap food in foil or
other vapor-proof, moisture-proof freezer wrap. Frozen food containers should be sealed tightly. If food is
wrapped in “Butcher Paper”, remove and rewrap.
For more even temperature, space food so as not to
restrict air flow, especially at rear.
Light frost may form on shelves when freezer door is
open. After the door is closed, the air stream grad-

tor Blade against the ice. The blade stops when it
touches the ice.
The heater releases the ice from the form.3.
The motor starts again. The blade moves ice from 4.
the form into the bucket. The Ejector Blade makes
two (2) revolutions and then the icemaker fills with
water again.
25
USE AND CARE GUIDE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
When the bucket is full and in the proper (highest possible) position, the Stop Arm senses the ice and stops
ice making.
To stop the icemaker, whether full or not, simply raise
the Stop Arm to “up” position. To restart, lower the
Stop Arm.
TIME PER CYCLE... Varies due to door openings, water
temperatures, etc.
NORMAL ICEMAKER OPERATION
Sounds to be expected: motor hum; creaking of •
the Ejector Blade; ice dropping into the bucket;
running water; water supply valve snapping open.
Frost formations in area of the icemaker: Since •
fresh water enters the form, frost build-up near the
icemaker occurs. This will not affect the operation
of your freezer.
Ice in the bucket for long periods may freeze to-•
gether and acquire odors. Discard stale pieces...
Your icemaker will make more.
Temperatures...
are automatically controlled by thermostats. You may
adjust your refrigerator compartment without adversely
affecting freezer temperatures, and vice versa. The
refrigerator and the freezer compartment each have
their own temperature control. The freezer control is
located in the roof of the freezer. The refrigerator control is either on the upper left side wall (side-by-side
models), or in the roof area of the refrigerator. “3” is
a good setting to start out with... Lower numbers for
warmer temperatures and higher numbers for coldest
temperatures.
NOTE: To help keep food fresh longer, some moisture
is desirable in the food storage compartments. You
may see it on the walls, or in the form of droplets of
ice or “icicles”... especially in hot or humid weather, or
when frequent or extended door openings occur. This
is normal, and not in any way harmful. If occasional
“spot” build-ups occur, it is usually the result of the
above, or of “overcrowding” of food. Occasionally
remove such accumulation.
Defrosting...
is automatic. It takes place in the Power Module,
above and away from your food. For several minutes
each day the compressor and interior fan will shut off,
while any ice accumulation is removed from the coils.
Cleaning...
It’s easy to keep your Built-In refrigerator/freezer
clean. Occasionally, clean the interior walls, shelves,
door interiors and gaskets with a solution ot two (2)
teaspoons of baking soda dissolved in a quart of lukewarm water. Harsh abrasives and cleaning powders
are unnecessary and should never be used. Do not
place parts in the dishwasher.
It is recommended that circuit breakers be shut off
before cleaning. Wring excess moisture from sponge
or cloth and avoid excess moisture, especially when
cleaning in the vicinity of switches, lights or controls.
If your unit has a stainless steel interior, shelves or
exterior door then use a stainless steel cleaner and a
cloth to clean.
Condenser cleaning procedure...
The condenser is located behind the top grille. It is a
part of the Power Module on its very right hand side. It
has horizontal tubes with small diameter vertical wires
and it is black in color. It is away from floor dust, however, it should be examined for dust accumula-
tion at least two (2) times a year, and cleaned
and/or vacuumed as necessary. Remember to
shut off the circuit breaker before removing the grille
and before exposing, cleaning, and/or vacuuming the
condenser.
There are three (3) styles of grille assemblies and
each one can be removed. Two (2) have removable
facia assemblies and the third one is the louvered
grille. The first two (2) grille facia assemblies can be
removed by first, lifting the decorative/stainless steel
grille panel up approximately one (1) inch which will
free it from the grille back, then place the panel aside.
The louvered grille is all one assembly.
There are three (3) ways to remove the grille back.
The first style is with mounting brackets behind the
grille back. Pull the grille forward about one (1) inch
to expose the the top screw in the brackets. Unscrew
the screw to loosen it but do not remove it. Do this
to each bracket. CAUTION, when the screw is loosened, the grille back will be loose, do not allow it to
fall. Grasp the grille back on each side and tilt the top
forward and lift upward to free the grille back from its
mounting.
26
USE AND CARE GUIDE FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
The second style is with a screw mount. Locate the
cap-it screw in the center of the grille back and pry off
the plastic cap with a wide flat screw driver, then unscrew the mounting screw. CAUTION, when the screw
is removed, the grille back will be loose, do not allow
it to fall. Grasp the grille back on each side and tilt
the top forward and lift upward to free the grille back
from its mounting.
The third style of mounting is with springs. The
spring(s) are located behind the grille back. The
spring(s) are mounted to the top of the cabinet and
hook to the square holes in the grille back. To remove
the grille, pull the grille forward and reach down to the
spring and unhook it from the grille back. The grille
back will be free to be removed. The louvered grille
is heavy so use care when removing. Now you can
inspect the condenser for dust accumulation.
Be sure to refasten top grille after cleaning to avoid
injury, as grille could fall if not properly fastened.
