INSTALLING THE UNIT INTO THE SPACE
INSTALLING THE UNIT INTO THE SPACE
1. 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.
2. 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 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.
3. Slide the unit into position in the opening. Make sure the rear leveling legs slide under the ant-
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.
4. 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 entire top of the unit. Shim if necessary to
prevent damage to the countertop.
5. 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.
6. Turn on the power to the wall outlet at the
circuit breaker.
NOTE: Improper shelf/drawer installation may
not actuate slide mechanism.
