Before placing cabinet in opening, check level of floor and adjustleveling legs accordingly. Locate and mark the center of two wallstuds in the back of the rough opening at the height of the cabi-net mounting bracket. The depth of the rough opening should beat least 24". If the rough opening depth is more than 24", than apiece of wood must be secured crosswise on the wall into studsat the height of the cabinet mounting bracket. Move cabinet intoopening and adjust legs again if necessary to insure that the unitis level. Check fit of toe plate and grill.

IMPORTANT: To prevent the cabinet fromtipping forward, install two screws through thecabinet mounting bracket into each of thetwo studs located in the wall behind the cabinet.Drill and screw through the side trim into adjoiningcabinet and/or walls.

– READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION –

The Module comes with a 3-prong power supply cord. It must be plugged into a mating 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp separatelyfused, 3-prong grounded outlet serving only this product, and wired in accordance with National and Local ElectricalCodes and ordinances. A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD ORADAPTER PLUG.

DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM THE POWER SUPPLY CORD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may be affected. Operating the refrigerator withinsufficient voltage can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect yourvoltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.

Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from thereceptacle. To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb.

NOTE: Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or otherelectrical components.

IMPORTANT:Re-check Cabinet installation for:✷ Proper space left for Grill installation.✷ Cabinet levelness.✷ Door opening and closing appearance.✷ SAFETY … To prevent unit from tipping forward:

> Are screws installed securely through front Trim into adjoining cabinetry and/or walls?> Is Cabinet mounting bracket secured to wall studs?

After above checks have been made, proceed with refrigeration installation.

MODULE INSTALLATION

Place module on top of cabinet with the rear shoulder screws resting on the locator brackets behind the front slots.Slide module toward rear of cabinet until the rear shoulder screws engage the slots in the rear of the brackets. Restthe front shoulder screws into the front slots of the brackets.

IMPORTANT: Check to make sure wiring and Icemaker tubing is clear and not interfering with module seal.

If possible, do NOT start Product during construction, as dust can block Module condenser coils. If dustaccumulates on coils, vacuum immediately, using a soft brush attachment.

Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F (15°C) or rise above 110°F(43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures.

Do not overcrowd the shelves or block cold air ducts. Do not install a shelf closer than 8" from the top inthe refrigerator section. Do not allow packages to overhang sides or rear of shelves as this will block aircirculation, making the refrigerator less efficient.

NORTHLAND KITCHEN APPLIANCE DIVISIONNorthland Corporation

P.O. Box 400Greenville, Michigan 48838-0400

34112-000

Installation Checks

• Cabinet Mounting Bracket must be installed correctly and anchored to prevent cabinet fromtipping forward.

• Rear of Module should be flush with the rear of the cabinet. Module should not extend beyondthe rear wall of the cabinet.

• Module should be engaged in the slots on the Module positioning brackets and seated on thefoam seal without air gaps. Module positioning brackets should not be removed.

• All wires from the lower cabinet to Module must be securely connected. If a problem issuspected, inspect both male and female plugs and insure that the terminals in the plug aresufficiently forward to engage.

• Cabinet must be level both side to side and front to back. All legs should rest firmly on thefloor. Cabinetry on both sides of the cabinet must be secure and level to prevent the cabinetfrom shifting when the doors are opened.

• Doors must not hit adjacent walls or counter tops.

• Gaskets must seal completely. If gaskets seal well, no further adjustments need to be made.

• On models with ice makers, check water connections for leaks. If water is not yet connected,the plastic water fill tube to the freezer compartment must either be attached to the solenoid orsealed to prevent air leaking into the cabinet.

• Brown and white wires should be connected to the solenoid. The remaining Molex connectorplugs into the Power Module.

Common Installation Errors

• Any air leaks between the module and the cabinet will affect the cabinet from operatingefficiently.
