NOTE:
If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of
time, wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in and turning it on again.
NOTE:
As the door gets pressed in during shipping, after reversing the door, the gasket
may have to be adjusted to prevent the cool refrigerated air from escaping. If there is a
gap between the door gasket and the cabinet, adjust the gasket by gently pulling it out
to seal the gap.
Use of Extension Cords
•
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The
marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating
of the appliance.
