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, if it is not already attached. (See page 8.)
Installation of your Appliance
• The appliance is designed for built-in or recessed or free standing installation for indoor use.
CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.
• Place your appliance 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 appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not install the appliance 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 appliance behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.
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. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service
center.
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.
