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.

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.

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.

Torx driver. Tighten screws fully.

4. Gently push unit into position. Be careful not to

entangle the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.

5. Check to be sure the unit is level from front to back

General Installation

LEVELING INFORMATION

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, adjust the legs on the corners of

the unit as necessary.

INSTALLATION

1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.

2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to

entangle the power 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. 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. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is

correctly positioned in the opening.

Drawers

CHECKING DRAWER ALIGNMENT

The unit’s drawers are aligned at the factory before

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.

•

Front-to-Back — When viewed from the side, the

drawer front should be straight with the cabinet’s sides,

not cocked forward or back.

•

Top-to-Bottom — When viewed from the front, the

drawer should be level horizontally.

DRAWER REMOVAL

1. Confirm that the unit is

unplugged from wall outlet.

2. Unplug the drawer’s

connection wiring (top

drawer only).

3. Remove the mounting

screws.

4. Pull the drawer completely out of the unit.

CAUTION

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 adjustments

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.

4. Drill all the new holes with a #30 drill bit.

2. Level the slide.

3. Retighten the screws.

4. Repeat procedure for the other slide.

5. Remount the slide.
