INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

This
appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.

Place your appliance on a level floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is
fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the
appliance.

Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper
air circulation to cool the compressor.

etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to
perform properly.

Avoid placing the appliance in moist areas.

Plug the appliance 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 certified electrician or an
authorized Equator Products service center.
