REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
PRIOR TO USE
1.
Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all
dust that accumulated during shipping.
2.
Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3.
Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three
hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of
cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper
cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.
INSTALLATION
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
WARNING
Shock Hazard:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the
refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
INSTALLATION (continued)
1.
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled
and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required,
adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness
of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling
legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower
it. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE:
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure is not
recommended.
2.
Install this appliance in an area where the temperature
is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or high,
cooling ability may be adversely affected.
3.
Select a place where a water supply can be easily
connected for the automatic icemaker.
NOTE:
The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi
or 207-862 kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm². If the refrigerator
is installed in an area with low water pressure below
30 psi, you can install a booster pump to compensate
for the low pressure.
4.
For sufficient door opening clearance, allow at least
4 inches between the side of the refrigerator and an
adjacent wall or surface that extends fully to or past
the front door of the refrigerator. For complete door
opening, allow at least 14.8 inches between the side of
refrigerator and a wall or surface that extends to or
past refrigerator front door.
5.
Too small of a distance from adjacent surfaces may
result in lowered freezing capability and increased
electricity consumption charges. Provide the following
unobstructed clearance for sufficient air flow around
the refrigerator:
- At least 2 inches between refrigerator back and wall.
- At least 2 inches between refrigerator top and
overhead surface.
