ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand
upright for approximately 24 hours.
This will reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
This fridge is a freestanding unit and should not be built into surrounding
cabinetry. Allow for proper air clearance around the fridge. The recommended
clearances are as follows:
Sides: ¾” (19 mm)
Top: 4” (100 mm)
Back: 2” (50 mm)
Before operating your fridge for the first time, follow these steps:
1.
Clean the interior surface of the unit with lukewarm water and a soft
cloth.
2.
Place the fridge on a level surface that will be strong enough to
support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your fridge, adjust the
front feet located at the bottom of the unit.
3.
Install the fridge away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as
stoves, heaters, or radiators. Direct sunlight may affect the unit’s
acrylic coating, and nearby heat sources can increase electrical
consumption. Extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures may also
prevent proper performance.
4.
Once the fridge is plugged in, let the fridge run for at least 30 minutes
before stocking. Do not change the temperature or adjust any settings
during this time.
WARNING: placing beverages up against the back panel of the fridge could
cause cans or bottles to rupture due to excessively low temperatures. Always
allow room for air circulation between the back panel and any drinks.
