INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Appliance
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
•
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
•
Install the door handles, if they are not already attached.
Installation of your Appliance
•
The appliance is designed for free-standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
•
If free standing, the unit should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top and at the
back to allow for adequate ventilation. If it is built-
in, leave 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top
and 2” at the rear. Be sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
•
Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
•
Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
your appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom.
•
Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform
properly. Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
•
Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified and authorized
products service center
•
The handles are stored inside the unit. Install using the screws (supplied).
Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed
or dangling.
