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.

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.
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 & PRODUCT DIMENSIONS for recommended receptacle location.

Side-by-Side Installation
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.
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.

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.
13/16" (22 mm)
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.

CABINET/COUNTER ANTI-TIP INSTALLATION
(For built-in applications)
1.Slide unit out so screws on front of unit are easily accessible.
2.Remove the two screws from the front of the unit.
3.Bend bracket along one of the perforations to allow attachment to the desired adjoining surface.
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 and side to side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top surface should be approximately 1⁄8” (3 mm) below the countertop.
6.Secure bracket to adjoining surface.
FLOOR MOUNTED ANTI-TIP INSTALLATION
(For free-standing applications)
1.Locate two anti-tip brackets included with the kit.
2.Place the unit into the area where it will be installed.
Check the door, sides, and top for a proper fit. Also test to make sure the door opens and closes freely.
3.Remove grille and place a mark on the floor at the front of the unit. Also place a mark on the floor in the center of the unit.
4.Remove the unit. Using a square, extend center line “B” (see chart below). This line serves as the back edge for the anti-tip brackets. From the center line, measure “A” to the left and right. This line is the outer edge of each bracket.

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.
1
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 cord or water and drain lines, if applicable.
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 interior packing material and wipe out the inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
Turn to Adjust
3.Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps as needed.
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 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.

REVERSING THE DOOR |
DOOR ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT |
1. Open door. |
|
Align and adjust the door if it is not level or not sealing properly. If the door is not sealed, the unit may not cool properly, or excessive frost or condensation may form in the interior.
NOTICE
Properly aligned, the door’s gasket should be firmly in contact with the cabinet all the way around the door (no gaps). Carefully examine the door’s gasket to ensure that it is firmly in contact with the cabinet. Also make sure the door gasket is not pinched on the hinge side of the door.
! CAUTION
Do not attempt to use the door to raise or pivot your unit. This would put excessive stress on the hinge system.
Alignment and Adjustment Procedure
1.Open door and remove gasket near the hinges.
2.Using a T-25 Torx bit, loosen each pair of Torx head screws both the upper and lower hinge plates.
3.Square and align door as necessary.
4.Tighten Torx head screws on hinge.
5.Reinstall gasket into the channel starting at the corner.
