Installation
The refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The refrigerator
should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that
it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty.
Before you plug the refrigerator
into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s
oils to settle.
