REMOTE CONTROL  
Using the Remote Control  
This remote control is magnetic and can be attached to most refrigerators. Some refrigerators panels are  
not metallic. In this case, try attaching the magnetic remote control to the side of the refrigerator.  
Point the remote control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the unit.  
When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be  
degraded, causing unreliable operation.  
The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).  
To Install Batteries  
1. Open the battery door.  
2. Insert two AAA batteries.  
Battery Replacement  
When the batteries become weak, the operating distance of the remote control is greatly reduced and you  
will need to replace them.  
Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent  
type.  
NOTE:  
Do not place the remote control near magnetic devices or magnetic cards.  
If the remote control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid corrosion damage  
caused by battery leakage.  
Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable  
(NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.  
Always remove batteries as soon as they become weak.  
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.  
Weak batteries can leak and severely damage the remote control.  
WARNING: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode or leak.  
CAUTiON: When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered and local rules or laws  
governing the disposal of these batteries must be strictly followed.

TOOLS NEEDED: 1) Electric drill with 1/4” bit; 2) Phillips-head (cross style) screwdriver.  
STEP 1  
STEP 3  
If your cabinet does NOT have an overhang:  
If your cabinet does NOT have an overhang:  
a) Place the Mounting Template in the desired  
location inside or underneath the cabinet  
(whichever has less obstructions, and will be  
easier for you to reach to drill holes), flush with  
the front edge of the cabinet and tape it down.  
Go to STEP 2.  
If your cabinet DOES have an overhang:  
a) Measure the thickness “T” of the cabinet  
overhang (see Figure 1).  
a) Eight screws are included with this unit, but you  
will only need four of them. Select the screw  
length which will go completely through your  
cabinet bottom, and provide at least 3/8of thread  
to screw into the main unit.  
b) Insert the four selected screws through each hole  
from the inside of the cabinet going down (see  
Figure 4).

c) Tape Mounting Template to the underside of the  
cabinet with the folded portion of the Mounting  
Template flush up against the cabinet overhang  
(see Figure 2). Go to STEP 2.  
c) Hold the unit up against the bottom of the cabinet,  
and align the four holes on the top of the unit with  
the screws. Partially tighten each screw, but do  
not fully tighten the screws until all of them have  
been started.  
d) Gently tighten each screw until they are firmly  
holding the unit in place.

If your cabinet DOES have an overhang:

sure the screws will go completely through your  
cabinet bottom, and extend at least 3/8” past the  
bottom of your cabinet overhang.

STEP 2  
b) This unit includes two sets of four spacers of  
various lengths.The spacers can be put together  
to form longer spacers to accommodate various  
cabinet overhang thicknesses. Determine the  
best combination of spacers which is equal to or  
longer than the cabinet overhang thickness.  
Use an electric drill with a ¼” drill bit (not included) to  
drill all four holes marked on the Mounting Template  
(see Figure 3). To reduce splintering, place a small  
piece of masking tape over each hole location before  
drilling. Go to STEP 3.

up until spacers are firmly against the bottom  
of the cabinet (and fully nested within each  
other if you are using multiple spacers for each  
screw).  
f) Gently tighten each screw until they are firmly  
holding the unit in place. The top front edge of  
the unit should clear the overhang.  
CAUTiON  
TO REDUCE THE RiSK Of fiRE, DO NOT PLACE ANy HEATiNG OR COOKiNG  
APPARATUS bENEATH THiS UNiT.  
Mounting Suggestions  
1) If your cabinet has obstructions inside it which prevent you from using the template, cut out the corresponding  
area on the template, but do NOT cut out or through the screw holes.  
2) If your cabinet has obstructions underneath it, which will interfere with the mounting of the unit, remove  
the obstruction before mounting the unit, or find another location to mount the unit.  
3) It is recommended that you wear safety glasses while drilling to prevent eye injuries.  
4) For wood cabinets, you may want to mark the hole locations with a nail, pressed gently but firmly into  
the wood so that a slight impression is made. This will also help keep the drill bit centered in the right  
location.  
5) Hold the drill firmly against the cabinet to keep the drill from “walking”.
