Installation Instructions

STEP 2 INSTALL CUSTOM 3/4

″

DRAWER PANELS AND

HANDLES (CONT.)

(ZIDI240 model only)

• Reinstall the side trims using the trim screws removed earlier.

STEP 3 LEVEL

Use an adjustable wrench to turn and raise or lower the leveling legs.

• Measure floor to countertop height inside the opening.

Adjust leveling legs until the product is approximately

1/8 ″ less than countertop height.

• Place the brushed decorative covers over the side trim to hide the screw heads. Ensure side trim is aligned top to bottom and front to back. Snap into place.

NOTE: For shipping purposes, the brushed decorative cover will be secured to the front of the unit.

Turn Right to Lower

Turn Left to Raise

INSTALLATION TIP:

Measure floor to underside of countertop inside the opening.

• If the room floor is higher than the floor inside the opening, adjust the rear leveling legs to approximately

1/8 ″ less than the opening height. Screw front leveling legs all the way in to shorten the height at the front.

This will allow you to slightly tip the unit into the opening. Once the unit is in the correct position, the front legs can be adjusted to level the product.

Installation Instructions

STEP 4 CONNECT POWER

• Connect power cord plug to a properly grounded receptacle.

• Check to make sure power is on by opening a drawer to see if interior light turns on.

• The interior fan runs all the time except when a drawer is open.

See the Owner’s Manual for further explanation of the fan.

STEP 6 SET TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

• The temperature controls are preset. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information. Allow

12–24 hours for the temperature to stabilize.

NOTE: The Double-Drawer Refrigerator operates very quietly. You may not notice the unit running, and when first installed, the fans and motor may not come on immediately – this is normal. If the display is lit and the light is working, the unit is operating.

STEP 5 SLIDE PRODUCT INTO

THE CUTOUT

CAUTION:

Do not push against the drawer panels with your knees. Do not push or lift the unit by the drawer handles. Damage may occur!

ATTENTION :

Ne poussez jamais les panneaux de tiroir avec vos genoux. Ne poussez jamais votre appareil ou ne le soulevez jamais par les poignées de tiroir. Vous pouvez l’endommager.

• Open one of the drawers and gently push the unit back into the opening with your hands against the sides. Be careful not to entangle power cord.

• Check again to be sure the unit is level. Adjust the leveling legs until the unit is resting firmly against the bottom of the counter to prevent rocking or movement during operation.

• If alignment with adjacent cabinetry is an issue, use a shim to secure the unit against the underside of the countertop.
