ANTI-TIP BRACKETS
Unit may tip forward if loaded racks/shelves are all pulled out at the same
time. To prevent tipping, and to provide stable installation, the unit must be
secured in place with the anti-tip brackets supplied with the unit. The anti-
tip brackets, when properly installed, should secure the rear legs/ glides to
the mounting surface and prevent the unit from tipping forward.
NOTICE Anti-tip brackets are only used for stationary cabinets and should not be installed on cabinets with accessory casters.
If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required and not
included with the anti-tip kit.
Some installation sites may require modifications to provide a secure surface
for attaching the brackets.
A set of anti-tip brackets is supplied with the unit. These brackets should be
attached to the floor at the rear of the unit. Each bracket must be located to
engage the rear legs when the cabinet is pushed back into position. Refer to
Figure 1 (shown below) for anti-tip bracket mounting locations.
PREPARING THE SPACE
CAUTION
If the unit is to be installed under a countertop, it is recommended that
the countertop be supported by a structure other than the unit itself to
prevent damage to the unit.
Make sure the floor under the unit is level with the surrounding finished floor. Protect a finished floor with plywood, cardboard, or some other suitable material before moving the unit into place. Failure to do this may result in damage to the floor.
To assure maximum performance, fresh air must be allowed to circulate through the machinery compartment. Do not place anything in front of the unit that would obstruct airflow at these front grilles. Do not place the unit in an unventilated small room.
NOTICE Cabinet should be leveled front to back, then side to side.
- Make sure the space opening is correctly sized for the unit. See typical appliance dimensions below, and the chart below for finished rough opening requirements:
TYPICAL APPLIANCE DIMENSIONS
HEIGHT| WIDTH| DEPTH
---|---|---
34-3/8” [87.3 cm] min.
35-1/2” [90.2 cm] max.| 24” [61 cm]| 24” [61 cm] - Check that the following are level and square:
• Front and interior opening
• Installation opening and floor surface
• Countertop bottom front edge
NOTE: For a door to open properly, the door must open a minimum of 90°.
Use a minimum 3” [7.6 cm] filler in corner installations to assure a full 90°
opening. Allow 25” [64 cm] clearance in front of the unit for full door swing
and shelf/drawer pull out.
NOTE: The floor under the unit must be at the same level as the
surrounding finished floor.
CAUTION To prevent possible damage to the countertop, do not place heavy objects on the countertop directly over the unit.
INSTALLING THE UNIT INTO THE SPACE
-
Plug the unit into the 15 amp grounded electrical outlet located within the installation opening.
With power applied to the unit, check that the lighting and cooling functions operate properly.
Turn off the power to the wall outlet at the circuit breaker. -
With all surfaces in the installation opening square and level, refer to Figure 2 below and perform the following steps to level the unit:
• At the front of the opening, measure from the floor to the bottom of the front edge of the countertop.
• Measure from the floor surface to the top of the unit at the rear corners.
• Adjust the unit legs so these two measurements are equal. Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn your legs clockwise to lower the unit or counterclockwise to raise it.
NOTE: Legs should not extend more than 3/4” [19 mm] from the bottom of the unit. -
Slide the unit into position in the opening. Make sure the rear leveling legs slide under the anti-tip brackets. Push the unit into the opening until the bottom front edge of the unit is flush with the surrounding cabinetry, or until the rear legs are tight against the anti-tip brackets.
-
Shim the front of the unit so the front face is flush with the surrounding cabinetry. Adjust the front legs to support the countertop at the shimmed height. Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn the legs clockwise to lower the unit or counterclockwise to raise it. Countertop should be resting on top of the unit.
NOTE: Countertop should be resting evenly on the entire top of the unit. Shim if necessary to prevent damage to the countertop.
-
Check interior door openings to make sure the unit is level and square. Install shelving and/or drawers. For drawer units, place the slide brackets squarely into the bracket grooves. When installed properly, a “click” should be heard from the slide bracket retaining tabs and the brackets should slide smoothly. The retaining tabs will stop the shelf/drawer when pulled out to full extension.
-
Turn on the power to the wall outlet at the circuit breaker.
NOTE: Improper shelf/drawer installation may not actuate slide mechanism.
INSTALLING THE FRONT GRILLE COVER
Once the unit is secured in place, install the louvered front grille cover.
Secure the cover by snapping the latch into the latch catch on the unit
(Figure 3).
The vent grille must be removed to service the unit. The floor cannot
interfere with removal, and the louvered sections must not be covered or
obstructed.
Obstructions could prevent proper air circulation, which may damage the unit.
NOTE: To achieve maximum performance, interior louver openings and fan guard openings should never be obstructed.
SHELVING / DRAWER ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION
Completely empty shelf or drawer before removing.
-
Pull the shelf/drawer out to its furthest position.
Locate the tabs in the middle of both extenders.
Lift one tab up while pushing the opposite tab down, and pull shelf/drawer out (Figure 4). -
Position each bracket separately. Grasp the middle of the bracket, pull the front end up and out, then forward to remove it.
-
Place bracket at the desired location. Push the bracket rear hook into the rear mounting slot, then set the front of the bracket in the front slot.
-
Repeat for other brackets.
-
Push extenders completely into brackets. Align the shelf/drawer grooves with the extenders and slide them completely into the unit.

- See Figure 5. Attach the mounting bracket to the overlay panel.
- Insert lock body and attach with nut. Reinstall the remaining parts as shown.
OVERLAY INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation, check all components for proper fit and finish.
NOTE: For more detailed installation information, please request or download document 028374 mentioned on the previous page.
CAUTION For best performance and functionality, the overlay panels should be 3/4” [19 mm] thick. The weight of the overlays should not exceed 20 lbs [9 kg] for solid doors, 10 lbs [4.5 kg] for glass doors, or 10 lbs [4.5 kg] for drawer models.
- With the unit secured in position, open the door, CAREFULLY remove the door gasket (it can tear), and make sure panel pre-drilled holes align with door frame holes.
- Loosely attach four corners of the overlay panel to the door using #10 x 3/4” wood screws, installed through the door frame from the rear.
- Check the overall fit of the overlay panel, position, and function. Make minor adjustments as necessary. When the panel is properly aligned, tighten mounting screws securely. Install the rest of the mounting screws and tighten them securely.
- Re-install the gasket making sure the dart is securely pressed inside the slot on the door frame. Start at the four corners and firmly press your way inwards.
- Verify that the gasket is fully seated on the door frame when completed.
CAUTION Do not overtighten overlay panel attachment screws, as this may damage the factory-supplied door frame.
WINE RACK TRIM (OPTIONAL)
All wine reserve racks come with sleek stainless steel fronts, which can be removed and replaced with other wood to match your cabinetry. See Figure 6 for wine rack face details.
