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.

Damages caused by ambient temperatures of 40°F (4°C) or below are not covered by the warranty.

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.

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.

Door Swing

For Integrated models that are installed adjacent to a wall, 1/4″ (6 mm) clearance is recommended from wall on hinge side to allow the door to open 90°. Allow for additional space for any knobs or pulls installed on the integrated panel/frame.
Stainless Steel models that are installed adjacent to a wall require 2-1/4″ (57 mm) door clearance on hinge side to allow for door handle.
Units have a zero clearance when installed adjacent to cabinets.

Door Adjustments

DOOR ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
Align and adjust the door if it is not level or is 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.

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.

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

Open door and remove gasket near the hinges.
Using a T-25 Torx Bit, loosen each pair of Torx head screws on both the upper and lower hinge plates.
Square and align door as necessary.
Tighten Torx head screws on hinge.
Reinstall gasket into the channel starting at the corner.

REVERSING THE DOOR

Open door.
Remove top hinge cover by lifting top and bottom flaps and slide inwards. Repeat on bottom hinge.
Using T-25 Torx bit loosen screw #1 and remove screw #2 on top and bottom hinge. Slide and remove the door from unit. Completely remove screw #1 on top and bottom.
Remove caps from screw heads on opposite side (2 on top and 2 on bottom). Using #2 Phillips bit remove the 4 underlying screws. Reinstall the screws and caps on the opposite side.
Partially install screw #1 in the outer most holes on top and bottom. Rotate door 180°, align hinge over screw #1 and slide/seat into position. Reinstall screw #2 on top and bottom. Tighten both screws and install hinge cover.

Align and adjust the door:
Align and adjust the door (see DOOR ALIGNMENT AND ADJUSTMENT).

General Installation

LEVELING INFORMATION

Use a level to confirm the unit is level. Level should be placed along top edge and side edge as shown.
If the unit is not level, remove grille and adjust legs as necessary. Use included tool to adjust the height of the rear legs.
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.

INSTALLATION

Plug in the power/electrical cord.
Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to entangle the cord.
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.
Install the anti-tip bracket.
Remove the interior packing material and wipe out the inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
