Important Grounding Instructions
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong
in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since
it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock
hazard.
WARNING:
Improper use of grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Do Not Use An Extension Cord
• Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension
cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice
the cord.
Installation Limitations
• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated,
e.g. garage, etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 12 degrees Celsius
• 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.
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.
