Installation
When moving the appliance once it is indoors, grasp it firmly and tilt it back no
more than 45 degrees. Never use the door handle as a support. Never turn the
unit upside down or place it horizontally.
1. Install the refrigerator on a flat, solid surface so as to minimize vibration and
noise.
2. Allow the following minimum spacing to ensure adequate air circulation: 4” (10
cm) on each side, 4" at the back and 4" on top. Be sure that airflow under the
appliance is not blocked.
3. Choose a location where there is no heat source nearby. Keep the refrigerator
away from direct sunlight, ovens, radiators, etc.
4. Choose a dry, well-ventilated place that is free of corrosive vapors.
Before Using for the First Time
1. Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces of the refrigerator with clear, lukewarm
water mixed with a little mild detergent. Wipe dry.
NOTE: Electrical components must only be wiped with a clean, dry cloth.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to the "
3
" position, then turn on the power by plugging
in the unit. The compressor should start and the light inside the refrigerator
should turn on. Close the door.
3. Check the refrigerator 30 minutes later. If the temperature on the back wall has
decreased noticeably, the refrigerator is working properly.
