Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in ac-
cordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes and ordinances (see gure below). If the circuit
does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the respon-
sibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper
power supply. The third ground prong should not, under
any circumstances, be cut or removed.
NOTE
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-
sance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down.
GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equip-
ment that must run unattended for long periods of time, un-
less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

General Installation
LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to
conrm the unit is
level. Level should
be placed along top
edge and side edge
as shown.
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the legs on the corners of
the unit as necessary.
3. Conrm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps as needed.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room oor is higher than the oor 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.
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.

SIDE-BY-SIDE AND STACKING INSTALLATIONS
Side-by-Side Installation
Other Site Requirements
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded elec-
trical receptacles placed according to each unit's electrical
specications requirements.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the total of the
widths listed under Cutout Dimensions in each unit's Instal-
lation Guide. Each door can be opened individually (one at
a time) without interference.
Figure 10
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.

Integrated panel models are designed for use with
built-in installations only. Use in freestanding instal-
lations could result in personal injury.
If you purchased an integrated panel model, your unit is
equipped with articulated hinges to allow fully integrated
built-in installations. Custom panel thicknesses of
5
8" (15
mm) and
3
4" (18 mm) are accommodated.
It is important to use the factory provided grille that came
through the condenser. The use of a custom grille is not
recommended and will void the warranty.

Step 4: Assemble the panel to the door
The preferred method of attaching the panel to the door
is to clamp the panel to the door so it cannot move while
drilling the screw pilot holes. Use bar clamps or "C" clamps
with pads on the clamping surfaces that will not mar the
panel or the door. The custom integrated panel should be
of the door. See Figure 24a. Drill holes through the gasket
size from the chart in Table "A", being careful not to drill
through the front surface of the panel. If the integrated
panel is thinner than
5
8" (16 mm) thick shorter screws will
have to be obtained. Fasten the panel to the door with
the 10 screws provided in the literature pack. (See Figure
25a). Remove the clamps and replace the gasket in the
required to seat the gasket into the channels. Be sure the
gasket corners are seated properly.
