Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power
cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Appliance:
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand for approximately 2 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
Remove the shelves and clean them and the interior surfaces of the unit with lukewarm water
using a soft cloth.
Installing the Refrigerator:
Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully loaded.
To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.
Your appliance is designed to be free-standing only and not recessed or built into an
enclosure. When installing, allow at least 4” (102mm) of space at the sides, top and rear of
the unit to allow for proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Take care
that the air vents at the front of the appliance are never covered or blocked in any way.
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form
quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the interior.
Plug the unit 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
authorized service center.
Electrical Connection:
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped
with a three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord
supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. Have
the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
