INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Clearances for Ventilation
It is necessary to have good ventilation around the refrigerator for heat
dissipation, high efficiency of refrigeration and low power consumption. For this
purpose, it is necessary to leave enough clear space around the refrigerator.
The clearance at the back must be at least 4" and the clearance at each side
must also be 4". Allow at least 8" of space at the top.
A clear space should also be left on the hinge side to enable the door to
swing open 160 degrees.
Electrical Connection
The refrigerator is designed to operate with a power supply of single-phase
alternating current (115-120V/60Hz). The refrigerator must be plugged into its
own socket instead of sharing one with other electrical appliances.
Do not use extension cords or double adaptors.
Be sure the appliance is properly grounded.
The power cord should be neither lengthened nor folded into a coil during
operation. Moreover, the cord should be kept away from the compressor at the
back of the unit, the surface temperature of which is very high during operation.
Touching it could damage the insulation or cause leakage of electricity.
If the supply cord is damaged, do not attempt to repair it yourself. It must be
replaced by an authorized service technician.
Protection from Moisture and Heat
Do not keep the refrigerator in a place where there is heavy moisture as this may
cause rust to form on the metal parts. Also, the refrigerator should not be
sprayed directly by water as this may cause poor insulation and current leakage.
The refrigerator should also be kept far away from any heat source or direct
sunlight.
Stability
The floor on which the refrigerator will be placed must be flat and solid. It should
not be positioned on any soft material such as plastic foam, etc. If the
refrigerator is not level, adjust the leg screws and check with a spirit level.
