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.

! 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.

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.
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.

For ease of installation, the anti-tip bracket is pre-installed 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 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).

General Installation
1.Use a level to confirm the unit is level. Level
should be placed along top edge and side edge 1 as shown.

• OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE
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.
2.If the unit is not level, remove grille and adjust legs as necessary. Use included tool to adjust the height of the legs.
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.
Rotate Legs to Adjust
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.

HANDLELESS INTEGRATED DRAWER PANELS
The following procedure is designed to provide a finished, handleless solid panel for a 24" (600 mm) drawer that seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry. Prepare two panels for your drawer unit.
3.Prepare the insert(s) that will back up the handleless design. Wooden Insert – Cut 1/8" thick wooden insert(s) to the dimensions below.

NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready solution for a handleless, integrated design that can be easily applied to your U-Line 3000 Series model. Consult your cabinet manufacturer for applicable design and installation details. The cabinet manufacturer’s solution to this design and integration detail will often result in an integrated panel solution wherein the size of the panel may result in a height dimension taller than what we specify. This can be achieved provided the additional height is positioned above the appliance drawer.
NOTICE
The integrated panel aligns with the surrounding cabinetry and, due to differences in cabinetry, may not align perfectly with the drawer.
The appliance will need up to 34-1/2" (876 mm) to the underside of the counter to leave room for leveling adjustments.
Each drawer panel with insert must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).
