INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Refrigerator
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the refrigerator to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Refrigerator
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully
loaded. To level your refrigerator, adjust the leveling leg at the bottom of the refrigerator.
• Allow about 5” (12 cm) of space at the back and sides of the appliance and 4” (10 cm) at the top,
which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
• Locate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the refrigerator not to
perform properly.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
• Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized service center.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before
placing items in the refrigerator cabinet.
Electrical Connection
•
This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator
is equipped with a three-pin plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize
the possibility of electrical shock.
•
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord
supplied.
•
This refrigerator requires a standard 115Volts AC ~ 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
grounded receptacle.
•
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left
exposed or dangling.
•
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
•
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
