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.

WARNING
!
Electrical
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.
u-line.com
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.

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 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.
CUTOUT DIMENSIONS
Metric measurements rounded and optimized.
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.
CAUTION
!
Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.

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.
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.
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.

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 brackets have multiple mounting options.
Mounting will depend on your particular cabinet
configuration. Locate 6 #8x5/8" screws included with your
unit.
TOP MOUNT
SIDE MOUNT
Side mount position is used when you are unable to mount
the brackets to the underside of your countertop.
For ease of installation the anti-tip brackets are
pre-installed in the top mount position.
1. Completely slide the unit into its position in the
opening. Be certain unit height is properly adjusted.
(See GENERAL INSTALLATION).
2. Open both doors completely. Make certain doors clear
surrounding cabinetry.
3. Using a 3/32" (2.50 mm) drill bit, drill 6 pilot holes
(3 for each bracket) 5/8" (16 mm) deep into bottom of
countertop. Use the anti-tip brackets as a template.
4. Install 6 #8x5/8" screws into the plate using a #2
Phillips head screwdriver.
1. Remove the pre-installed anti-tip brackets from the top
mount position and align to the side mounting holes on
the hinge side of your model as shown.
2. Reinstall 2 screws into each anti-tip bracket, mounting
the bracket to your unit.
3. Completely slide the unit into its position in the
opening. Be certain unit height is properly adjusted.
(See GENERAL INSTALLATION).
4. Open both doors completely to gain access to the anti-
tip brackets. Make certain doors clear surrounding
cabinetry.
5. Using a 3/32" (2.50 mm) drill bit, drill 6 pilot holes (3
for each bracket) 5/8" (16 mm) deep into cabinetry
frame using the anti-tip brackets as a template.

General Installation
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,
remove grille and
adjust legs as
necessary. Use
included tool to adjust the height of the rear legs.
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, 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. Adjust the front legs to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
