INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will
go below 55°F (13°C) because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go
above 110°F (43°C) because it will not perform properly.
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard
even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g.
radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any
floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs
located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
• Do not install the refrigerator in a location exposed to water
(rain, etc.) or direct sunlight.
NOTE: As the door gets pressed in during shipping, after
reversing the door, the gasket may have to be reset. This is
done to prevent the cool refrigerated air from escaping. If
there is a gap between the door gasket and the cabinet, set
the gasket by gently pulling it out to seal the gap.
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for freestanding
installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in an
enclosed cabinet. To ensure your refrigerator works at
optimum efficiency, you should install it in a location where
there is proper air circulation, and electrical connections.
UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base
and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories
inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or
printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.
LEVELING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in
the front bottom corners of your refrigerator. After properly
placing your refrigerator in its final position, you can level
your refrigerator.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them
counterclockwise to raise your refrigerator or by turning
them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator
door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.
CAUTION
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not puncture refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerant
used. Handle with care when moving refrigerator to avoid
either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk
of a leak.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the
outlet.
Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply cord.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified service professional with an authorized service
part from the manufacturer.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
