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.
proper air Circulation
•To ensure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:
Sides
3/4" (19mm)
Top
2" (50mm)
Back
2" (50mm)
electrical Requirement
• 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.
Use of extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of
the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
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 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators, baseboard
