Built-In Installation
The cutout dimension illustrated in figure (A) allows for
door swing and access to the pull-out shelves when
installed as a built-in appliance. If installing between
frameless cabinets, a ½” wide filler strip or side panel may
be needed on hinge side. The filler strip will act as a
spacer between the appliance case and adjacent cabinet
door swing. The width of the opening must include the
filter panels.
Note:
The door should protrude at least 1” beyond the
surrounding cabinets.

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by an authorized service center.
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt A.C. /60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
This appliance is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can
negatively affect the performance of the unit.
