future reference.

Exterior Cleaning

(As Required)

3 Prepare Site

Your U-Line product has been designed for 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 and clearance is
required for water and electrical connections in the rear.

Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.

Door Swing/Clearances Information

Units have a zero clearance for the door to open
90° (see Figure 3). U-Line recommends a minimum door
clearance of 3/4" to accommodate the flange if the unit is
right-hand hinged and installed next to a wall or similar
type of structure.

Note: When a raised panel is used, additional clearance is
needed for easy removal of ice bin if door hinge side is
installed adjacent to wall.

Figure 1

Follow the cut-out drawing in Figure 1. The unit must sit
in a frame structure with a frame thick enough to
accommodate mounting the 1/2" flange to its sides and
top and a base high enough to align the door with other
cabinet doors. Make the frame’s inside dimensions 1/4"
larger than the cabinet’s dimensions (without flange) for
ease in installation and removal of the unit. 24" is the
counter depth in most installations. 18-1/2" depth
includes the door, handle and water line connection (see

Figure 2).

IMPORTANT

It is extremely important that the unit sits on a level
surface, as it does not have feet levelers. If it is not level,
the ice mold will not fill evenly.
