INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Refrigerator or freezer
•
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•
Before connecting the refrigerator or freezer 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 handle on the door, if it is not already attached. (See page 8.)
Installation of your Refrigerator or freezer
• The refrigerator or freezer is designed for built-in or recessed or free standing installation for
indoor use.
• Place your refrigerator or freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully
loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
• For free standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and 4”
(102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor
and condenser. Even for built-
in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side
and at the top
and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the refrigerator
or freezer is never covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator or freezer near an oven, radiator or
other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may
increase electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall
below 44°F (7°C). For best performance, do not install the refrigerator or freezer behind a
cabinet door or block the base grille.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the refrigerator or freezer into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.
Electrical Connection
This refrigerator or freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
refrigerator or freezer 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 refrigerator or freezer must be properly grounded. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized
service center.
This refrigerator or freezer 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.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
