INSTALLATION
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• Remove all exterior and interior packing and dispose appropriately.
• Before connecting the unit to the power source for the first time, let it sand upright for
approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the sealed
cooling system from handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth and wipe dry.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• This appliance is designed for freestanding, recessed, or built-in installation (fully
recessed). Built-in installation is recommend to reduce risk of tipping.
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
To level your appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the appliance with
the provided wrench. Legs can be adjusted up to 1" (25 mm).
• Install the appliance in a location away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove,
heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, and heat sources
may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the unit not to perform properly.
• Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly installed and grounded outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or an authorized ZLINE service provider.
• While appliances are approved for outdoor use, it’s recommended to avoid installing
units in overly moist or humid areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the refrigerator.
• Units come with doors installed at the pre-set maximum door swing of 135°. If you desire
to limit the door swing to 90°, insert the 2 provided door limiting pins into the pin hole
on the top and bottom door hinges, as show in the image below.
