! 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 of power cord, removal of power cord, removal of power plug, or direct wiring can cause serious injury, fire and or loss of property and or life, and will void the warranty.

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. GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location appliances and is not recommended for your unit because a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure to consult your local codes.
See CUT-OUT DIMENSIONS for recommended receptacle location.

SAFETY • INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION
General Installation
1. Use a level to confirm the unit is level. Level should be placed along
top edge and side 1 edge as shown.
2. If the unit is not level, remove grille and
adjust feet as necessary. Use
included tool to adjust the height of the rear leveler feet. Turn screw clockwise to raise the rear foot, counter-clockwise to lower.
3.Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
• OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE
INSTALLATION
1.Plug in the power cord.
2.Gently push the unit into position. Be careful to not 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.Install the anti-tip bracket.
5.Remove the tape from the glass shelves and wipe out the inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
Rotate Forward Feet to Adjust
Rotate Clockwise to raise rear leg.
Rotate Counter-Clockwise to lower leg.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cutout opening, adjust the rear feet 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 feet. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the opening. Adjust the front feet to level the unit after it is correctly positioned in the opening.
