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. This is considered normal. The condensation
will evaporate when the humidity drops.
CAUTION
Damages caused by ambient temperatures of
40°F (4°C) or below are not covered by the
warranty.

Electrical
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.
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.
See CUTOUT DIMENSIONS for recommended
receptacle location.

Cutout Dimensions
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 (plinth strip/base fascia) must
NOT be obstructed.
CAUTION
Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.
U-Line products are designed and manufactured to
be installed in the specified cutout openings
shown, and variance to the floors or cabinetry
must be accounted for in your installation.

Side-by-Side 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.

Side-by-Side Installation 1
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. Locate 3 #8x5/8" screws included with
your unit.
TOP MOUNT
For ease of installation, the anti-tip bracket is preinstalled in the top mount position.
1. Completely slide the unit into its position in the
cabinet. Be certain unit height is properly adjusted.
(See GENERAL INSTALLATION).
2. Open door completely. Make certain door clears
surrounding cabinetry.
3. Using a 3/32" (2.50 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.
4. Install 3 #8x5/8" screws into the plate using a #2
Phillips head screwdriver.
SIDE MOUNT
Side mount position is used when you are unable to
mount the bracket to the underside of your
countertop.
1. Remove the pre-installed anti-tip bracket from the
top mount position and align the bracket to the
hinge side of the unit as shown above.
2. Reinstall the 2 #8x5/8" 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 GENERAL INSTALLATION).
4. Open door completely. Make certain door clears
surrounding cabinetry.
5. Using a 3/32" (2.50 mm) drill bit, drill 3 pilot holes
5/8" (16 mm) deep into cabinetry frame using the
anti-tip bracket as a template.
6. Install 3 #8x5/8" screws into the plate using a #2
Phillips head screwdriver.

Anti-Tip Bracket 1
General Installation
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.
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, waterdampened cloth.

Door Swing 1
Door Stop
Your U-Line unit was shipped to you with the optional
90° pin.
Your unit’s door(s) will open 115° straight from the
factory. If you would like the door stop at 90° follow
these instructions.
NOTICE
If your unit is already undercounter, it will need
to be moved out to access the hinge. With the
90° stop pin in place, you will not be able to
replace the hinge cover.
1. Open door approximately 90°.
2. Remove hinge cover by lifting top and bottom of
hinge cover and sliding the cover inwards to
remove from hinge.
3. Once cover is removed, slide hinge pin into hole as
shown. Pin should slide into place, stopping the
door at 90°; if the pin does not go into the hole
shown, hold the door less than 90° open and try
again.
4. To fully seat the pin, tap it lightly with a hammer.
5. Carefully slide your unit back in place.
NOTICE
The pin can be removed to return the door swing
back to its original 115° swing by tapping the pin
out from the bottom of the hinge.
CLOSER
The door hinge has a self-closing feature that engages
when the door is open approximately 6" (150 mm)
(about 25°).

Door Adjustments
DOOR ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Align and adjust the door if it is not level or is not
sealing properly. If the door is not sealed, the unit
may not cool properly, or excessive frost or
condensation may form in the interior.
NOTICE
Properly aligned, the door’s gasket should be
firmly in contact with the cabinet all the way
around the door (no gaps). Carefully examine
the door’s gasket to ensure that it is firmly in
contact with the cabinet. Also make sure the
door gasket is not pinched on the hinge side of
the door.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to use the door to raise or pivot
your unit. This would put excessive stress on the
hinge system.
Alignment and Adjustment Procedure
1. Open door and remove gasket near the hinges.
2. Using a T-25 Torx Bit, loosen each pair of Torx
head screws on both the upper and lower hinge
plates.
3. Square and align door as necessary.
4. Tighten Torx head screws on hinge.
5. Reinstall gasket into the channel starting at the
corner.
