Environmental Requirements
This model is intended for indoor/interior applications only
and is not to be used in installations that are open/
exposed to natural elements.
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.

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 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.
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.
See CUTOUT 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 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.
CUTOUT DIMENSIONS
Metric measurements rounded and optimized.
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.

cabinet. Be certain unit height is properly adjusted.
(See GENERAL INSTALLATION).
2. Open door completely. Make certain door clears

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 legs as
necessary. Use included tool to adjust the height of the
legs.
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.
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.

shipment. However, their alignment could have been
disturbed during shipment or during overlay panel
installation. Check each drawer to confirm that it is
aligned:
•
Side-to-Side — When viewed from the top, the
drawer front should be square with the sides of the
cabinet.
DRAWER REMOVAL
1. Confirm that the unit is
unplugged from wall outlet
2. Remove the mounting
screws.
3. Pull the drawer completely
out of the unit.

Use care when handling the drawer. Drawer
edges, drawer rail and the unit’s slide may be
sharp.
Drawer adjustments are made by moving the
slide that carries the drawer’s rail. Minor
adjustments may be made by loosening one of
the slide’s mounting screws, adjusting the slide
and retightening the screw. Severe adjustment s
may be made by removing the slides’ mounting
screws, drilling new mounting holes and
remounting the slide.

SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT
The drawer will need a Side-
to-Side Adjustment if, when
viewed from the top, the
drawer front is not square with
the sides of the cabinet. This
is caused by one of the slides
being mounted too far forward
on the unit’s liner.
Minor Adjustment:
Note: The mounting holes on
the slide are slightly larger
than the screws’ diameter.
1. Loosen the slide’s
mounting screws.
2. Push the slide backward.
FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT
The drawer will need a Front-
to-Back Adjustment if, when
viewed from the side, the
drawer front is cocked
forward or back. This is
caused by the front slide
mountings not being level
with the rear slide mountings.
Minor Adjustment:
Note: The mounting holes on
the slide are slightly larger
than the screws’ diameter.
1. Loosen one slide’s
mounting screws.
3. Retighten the screws.
Severe Adjustment:
Note: The slides have extra
mounting holes that may be
used.
1. Remove the slide’s
mounting screws.
2. Reposition the slide so it
is the same distance
from the front of the liner as the other slide. Measure
to confirm.
3. Mark new drilling holes using different sets of mounting
holes on the slide.
Note: Front location holes are shown. Corresponding rear
holes will also need to be marked.
2. Level the slide.
3. Retighten the screws.
4. Repeat procedure for the other slide.
Backward
4. Drill all the new holes with a #30 drill bit.
5. Remount the slide.
