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 DIMENSIONS for recommended
receptacle location.

Cutout Dimensions
PREPARE SITE
Your U-Line product has been designed exclusively for
a built-in installation. When built-in, your unit does
not require additional air space for top, sides, or rear.
However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed.
The product is designed and manufactured for
seamless integration in the specified cutout opening
shown, which requires precise measurements. The
opening must be square and plumb front to back.
Although not required, you may choose to increase
the overall cutout width for ease of installation.
The Modular 3000 Series units are engineered with a
variety of adjustment features to help ensure a
seamless installation. Adjustable doors, leveling legs
and grille will assist in fine tuning the installation.
All 3000 Series models fully integrate into
overlay/face frame, inset or European/frameless
cabinet styles and install seamlessly into standard 24"
(610 mm) depth cabinet base.
CAUTION
Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed
cabinet door.
CUTOUT DIMENSIONS
Metric measurements rounded and optimized.

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.
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.
