Installation

Integrated Panel Dimensions

NOTICE: Due to differences in surrounding cabinetry, the integrated panel may not perfectly align with the door. The procedure below is designed to provide a finished integrated panel that seamlessly integrates with surrounding cabinetry.

The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).

It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the correct depth to avoid splits in the wood when hardware is installed.

When applying an integrated panel to a unit, ensure that both sides are finished to prevent warping. In some installations, the panel may be visible through the glass when the door is open.

A full integrated door panel completely covers the door frame, providing a built-in appearance.

Integrated Panel Preparation:

1. Cut the panels to the dimensions listed in the diagram.
2. Optional: Stain or finish the panel to the desired color. Follow the manufacturer's instructions closely.
3. Optional: Install handles and hardware.

Integrated Panel Dimensions Diagram Description: A rectangular panel is shown. The width is 23-3/4 inches (603 mm). The height is 30-1/4 inches (768 mm). The thickness is 3/4 inches (20 mm). A note states: "BACK SURFACE MUST HAVE AMPLE FLAT SURFACE TO MOUNT OVERLAY PANEL FLAT AND WITHOUT INTERFERENCE".

Integrated Panel Installation

NOTICE: Due to differences in floor construction or surrounding cabinetry, the panel may not sit flush with the top of the door/drawer.

1. Fully open the door/drawer.
2. Starting at a corner, pull the gasket away from the door/drawer.
3. Continue to pull the gasket free from the gasket channel.
4. Upon removal, lay the gasket down on a flat surface.
5. Partially loosen the 3 screws securing the top hinge to the cabinet.
6. Align the panel with the outside edge (opposite the hinge) and high enough to align with the highest point in the door/drawer.
7. Insert the panel underneath the top hinge and apply upward pressure while bringing the lower portion of the panel flush to the door inside the lower hinge. The panel will fit snugly.
8. Align the door with the cabinet. Tighten the top 3 screws, securing the top hinge to the cabinet.
9. Secure the integrated panel to the door/drawer using clamps. A robust tape may also be used. U-Line recommends the use of bar clamps to secure the panel. If using tape, ensure it will not damage the panel finish upon removal.
10. Using a 7/64" (3 mm) drill bit, drill 6 pilot holes into the wood panel, 1/2" (12 mm) deep, using the holes in the door/drawer frame as a guide.

NOTICE: It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the correct depth to avoid splits in the wood when hardwood is installed.

11. Locate 6 of the #6x 1-1/4" (32 mm) screws provided with your unit.
12. Using a Phillips screwdriver, place one screw into each of the 6 pilot holes and screw down. Do not overtighten screws.
13. Ensure the screws pass through the opening on the gasket channel and sit flush against the bottom of the channel.
14. Remove clamps from the door/drawer.

NOTICE: If the panel requires additional adjustment after removing clamps, slightly loosen each screw and adjust the panel as necessary. Tighten screws upon completion.

15. Starting at the corners, re-install the gasket into the gasket channel in the frame. Ensure the gasket is fully seated. This may require some force.

Grille Installation

REMOVING AND INSTALLING GRILLE

[warning] Disconnect electric power to the unit before removing the grille. The grille must be installed when using the unit.

[warning] DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser fins are SHARP and can be easily damaged.

Removing the grille:

1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Loosen the two screws (labeled '1' in diagram).
3. Remove grille (labeled '2' in diagram) from the unit.

Installing the grille:

1. Align cabinet and grille holes and secure, but do not overtighten grille screws (labeled '1' in diagram).

Note: When installing next to a 15" wide U-Line product, use the supplied spacers behind the grille. The 24" grille will now be on the same plane as the 15" grille.

2. Reconnect power to the unit.

Grille Diagram Description: The diagram shows the bottom of the refrigerator unit with the grille attached. Screws labeled '1' secure the grille, and the grille itself is labeled '2'.
