GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING -
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a quali
fi
ed electrician or
service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent
fl
ickering of lights, blowing of fuse or trip-
ping of circuit breaker
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance
in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord. Do not use and adapter plug with this appliance.

Installation Instructions
FOR YOUR SAFETY
•
While performing installations described in this section, gloves and goggles or safety glasses should be worn. Two
people should be used when moving the cooler.
•
Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation.
•
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours; this will reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
•
Place your cooler on a
fl
oor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your cooler, adjust the
front leveling leg at the bottom of the unit.
•
Locate the cooler away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight and heat
sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit to perform
improperly.
•
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the cooler into an exclusive, properly installed-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 certi
fi
ed electrician or an authorized service centre.
•
Do not cover shelves with aluminum foil or any other material which may prevent air circulation.
•
In order for the cabinet to remain ef
fi
cient do not over load it.
•
Do not open the door unless necessary.
•
Should the cooler be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after careful cleaning, to leave the door
ajar. This will allow air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold and
odors.
