Product Dimensions 15-1/16" 13-13/16" 17" Including Handle 25-1/4" 24-3/4" Cut-Out Dimensions Filler Panel (Not Provided by U-Line) ­ Needed to Attach Mounting Flange on Unit Figure 2 Door Swing/Clearances Information 18-1/2" Minimum Cut-Out Height 24-3/4" See Electrical Specifications for Power Supply 8" Height From Floor Units have a zero clearance for the door to open 90° (see Figure 3). U-Line recommends a minimum door clearance of 3/4" to accommodate the flange if the unit is right-hand hinged and installed next to a wall or similar type of structure. Note: When a raised panel is used, additional clearance is needed for easy removal of ice bin if door hinge side is installed adjacent to wall. Wall 3/4" Min. 3/4" Minimum Flange Mounting Area 14-1/16" Cut-Out Width 15-3/16" Minimum Opening Toe Kick 14-3/8" Figure 1 Follow the cut-out drawing in Figure 1. The unit must sit in a frame structure with a frame thick enough to accommodate mounting the 1/2" flange to its sides and top and a base high enough to align the door with other cabinet doors. Make the frame's inside dimensions 1/4" larger than the cabinet's dimensions (without flange) for ease in installation and removal of the unit. 24" is the counter depth in most installations. 18-1/2" depth includes the door, handle and water line connection (see Figure 2). 15-1/2" 90° Door Swing Figure 3 IMPORTANT It is extremely important that the unit sits on a level surface, as it does not have feet levelers. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. www.U-LineService.com 4 02/2005 WH95TP, BI95BTP and BCM95 Ice Makers Reversing the Door All units may be left- or right-hand opening.
