CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING
**Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
** The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded?
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.
Immediately discontinue the use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

STEP 2
INSTALL CUSTOM 3/4” DRAWER PANELS AND HANDLES (ZIDI240 model only)
3/4” Overlay Panel Dimensions
Model ZIDI240 requires field-installed overlay drawer panels.

• The overlay panels must be secured to 1/4” thick backer panels that slide into the trims. A .10” thick spacer panel must be placed between the overlay and backer panels.
•  Custom handles of your choice, supplied by your cabinet maker, must be installed on these overlay panels. Countersink all screws into the backer panels. Screws cannot protrude from the backer panels.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum total weight for custom drawer panels is 25 pounds (12-1/2 pounds maximum for each drawer).

3/4″ Overlay Panel Dimensions (in inches)

| A (Width)| B (Height)
---|---|---
1/4″ Backer| 23-3/16″| 14-11/16″
0.10″ Spacer| 22-1/2″| 14-3/16″
3/4″ Overlay| 23-5/8″| 15-1/16″

*Maintain a 1/4″ min. gap between
top and bottom drawer panels.
Assemble overlay panels with glue and screws.

• Center spacer panel on the backer panel, left to right and top to bottom. Secure the panels with glue.
• Center the spacer/backer panel on the overlay panel.Secure with glue and screws. Countersink all screws into the backer panel.

STEP 2
INSTALL CUSTOM 3/4” DRAWER PANELS AND HANDLES (CONT.) (ZIDI240 model only)
Install custom drawer panels and handles:

• Open drawers.
• Remove 2 screws holding each trim; lift trims off.
  Retain screws.

Custom handles of your choice, supplied by your cabinet maker, must be installed onto the overlay panels before they are slid into the trims. Countersink all screws into the backer panels. Screws cannot protrude from the backer panels.

Slide overlay panels into the trims.

STEP 2
INSTALL CUSTOM 3/4” DRAWER PANELS AND HANDLES (CONT.) (ZIDI240 model only)

• Reinstall the side trims using the trim screws removed earlier.

• Place the brushed decorative covers over the side trim to hide the screw heads. Ensure side trim is aligned top to bottom and front to back. Snap into place.

NOTE: For shipping purposes, the brushed decorative cover will be secured to the front of the unit.
STEP 3 LEVEL
Use an adjustable wrench to turn and raise or lower the leveling legs.

• Measure floor to countertop height inside the opening.
  Adjust leveling legs until the product is approximately 1/8” less than countertop height.

INSTALLATION TIP:
Measure floor to underside of countertop inside the opening.

• If the room floor is higher than the floor inside the opening, adjust the rear leveling legs to approximately 1/8” less than the opening height. Screw front leveling legs all the way in to shorten the height at the front.
  This will allow you to slightly tip the unit into the opening. Once the unit is in the correct position, the front legs can be adjusted to level the product.

STEP 4 CONNECT POWER

• Connect the power cord plug to a properly grounded receptacle.
• Check to make sure power is on by opening a drawer to see if the interior light turns on.
• The interior fan runs all the time except when a drawer is open. See the Owner’s Manual for further explanation of the fan.

STEP 5
SLIDE THE PRODUCT INTO THE CUTOUT
NOTICE: Do not push against the drawer panels with your knees. Do not push or lift the unit by the drawer handles. Damage may occur!

• Open one of the drawers and gently push the unit 0back into the opening with your hands against the sides. Be careful not to entangle the power cord.
• Check again to be sure the unit is level. Adjust the leveling legs until the unit is resting firmly against the bottom of the counter to prevent rocking or movement during operation.
• If alignment with adjacent cabinetry is an issue, use a shim to secure the unit against the underside of the countertop.

STEP 6
SET TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

• The temperature controls are preset. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information. Allow 12–24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

NOTE: The Double-Drawer Refrigerator operates very quietly. You may not notice the unit running, and when first installed, the fans and motor may not come on immediately – this is normal. If the display is lit and the light is working, the unit is operating.
