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
!
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.

Side-by-Side Installation
Two units may be installed side-by-side.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the cutout
dimension of a single unit times two.
No trim kit is required. However, 1/4" (6 mm) of space
needs to be maintained between the units to ensure
unobstructed door swing.
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
electrical specifications requirements.
Side-by-Side Installation with Bracket
1. Slide both units out so screws on top of units are easily
accessible.
3. Place bracket over holes and attach to unit with two
screws removed in step 2 using a T-25 Torx driver.
Tighten screws fully.
4. Gently push units into position. Be careful not to
entangle the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.
5. 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. Remove screws as shown below.

Water Hookup
PREPARE PLUMBING
Please use the braided stainless steel water supply line
which comes attached. The water line is fitted with a
standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) compression fitting.
WARNING
!
Prior to installation, determine if this product
contains a gravity style drain or factory installed
drain pump. Products without a drain pump may
only use a gravity style drain. Failure to connect
water supply or drain line connections properly
may result in water leakage, personal injury,
and/or property damage. Disconnect power and
turn off water to the unit before attempting to
alter these connections. These connections are
the responsibility of the owner and must be
connected per local plumbing code. If you are
uncertain of how to safely and properly install
this product, contact a licensed plumber.
CAUTION
!
Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line
is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack
or rupture with age and cause damage to your
home.
Do not use tape or joint compound when
attaching a braided flexible water supply line
that includes a rubber gasket. The gasket
provides an adequate seal – other materials
could cause blockage of the valve.
Failure to follow recommendations and
instructions may result in damage and/or harm,
flooding or void the product warranty.
CAUTION
!
Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical
supply to unit prior to installation.
