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 handle on the door using the screws that are provided. (See:
Installation of the Handle
)
Installation of Your Appliance
This appliance is designed for free-standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
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.
For free-standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance, and 4”
(102mm) at the top, are suggested. This allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser. For built-in installation, keep ¼” (6.35mm) of space between the top and sides of the appliance,
and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Make sure the air vent at the front of the appliance is never covered or blocked in
any way.
If this appliance is intended to be installed in a space between two units, the minimum space required is:
23.6in wide × 23.6in deep × 31.69in high
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.
Installation of the Handle
To install the handle, please follow these instructions:
Place the handle (Fig.1) over the pins (Fig.2) of the door
Tighten the handle by screwing in screws with an Allen
wrench (not included) (Fig.3).
