INSTALLATION
General
Induction Dry Wells are shipped completely assembled and
ready for use after installation into a countertop. Care should be
taken when unpacking the shipping carton to avoid damage to
the unit and components enclosed.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Unit is not weatherproof.
Locate unit indoors where ambient air temperature is a
minimum of 70°F (21°C) and a maximum of 124°F (51°C).
FIRE HAZARD:
• Make sure to follow the installation information listed
below for specific induction dry wells. If safe distances
are not maintained, discoloration or combustion could
occur.
a. Locate unit with a minimum of 1-1/2″ (38 mm) between
the front and back of the unit and any interior surface.
b. Locate unit with a minimum of 2″ (51 mm) between
the bottom of the unit and any interior surface.
c. Locate unit with a minimum of 1″ (25 mm) between
the sides of the unit and any interior surface.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD:
• Do not obstruct air ventilation openings on sides and
bottom of unit. Unit combustion or malfunction may occur.
• Do not place unit near or underneath curtains or other
combustible materials. Items near or above unit could
catch fire causing injury and/or damage to unit.
CAUTION
Do not block or restrict air flow to air intake or exhaust
openings on bottom of unit.
Locate unit at proper counter height in an area that is
convenient for use. Location should be level to prevent
unit or its contents from falling accidentally and strong
enough to support weight of unit and contents.
1. Remove the unit from the carton.
2. Remove tape and protective packaging from all surfaces
of the unit.
NOTE: To prevent delay in obtaining warranty coverage,
complete online warranty registration. See
IMPORTANT OWNER INFORMATION

• Make sure to follow all ventilation requirements
described in the “Ventilation Requirements” area in this
section.
• Make sure to properly prepare the installation site
described in the “Preparing the Installation Site” area in
this section.
• Avoid areas that may be subject to active air movements
or currents (i.e., near exhaust fans/hoods, air
conditioning ducts, and exterior doors).

5. Plug the unit into a properly grounded electrical receptacle
of the correct voltage, size, and plug configuration. See the
SPECIFICATIONS section for details.
Ventilation Requirements
Proper ventilation of the cabinet below a built-in unit is required
to prevent over-heating the electronics in the unit. Proper
ventilation provides cool, intake air to the front of the unit and
an escape for the hot, exhaust air from the back of the unit.
• For standard installations, a ventilation opening with a
minimum size of 2″ x 10″/20 square inches (5 x 25 cm/
129 square cm) is required behind the air exhaust openings
on the back of the unit, in-line or close to the back side
vents of the unit. An additional 2″ x 10″/20 square inch
(5 x 25 cm/129 square cm) ventilation opening is required in
the front of the cabinet to provide cool intake air. Louvered
or grill-style panels should be installed in the openings.
• For installations where the cabinet is against a wall or no
rear ventilation is possible, keep the front control-side of
the cabinet open. DO NOT install a shelf, partition, or
any other equipment inside the cabinet underneath
the unit — the space must remain wide open for air
circulation. If the front cannot be left open, install two
ventilation openings in the front panel of the cabinet, one at
the bottom of the cabinet and one near the control panel at the
top of the cabinet. Each opening must be a minimum size of
2″ x 10″/20 square inches (5 x 25 cm/129 square cm).
NOTE: Make sure the interior temperature of the cabinet does
not rise above 124°F (51°C) while the induction dry well
is operating. If the temperature rises too high, additional
ventilation openings or forced air cooling will be required.
