INSTALLATION
UNCRATING
–
Move your refrigerator as close to the final
location as possible before unpacking. Remove the wooden
planks or skid. The location should be as close as possible to the
power outlet, so the extension cord is not needed. This unit
requires a
minimum of 4 inches of air flow space in back and 3
inches on the sides and top.
Do not store material on the top of
this unit.
PLEASE NOTE!
Your refrigerator or freezer is designed
for INDOOR USE and should be operated in an air conditioned
space with temperature between 65°F to 85°F.
LEVELING
−
You can level your unit with the screw-type adjustable leveling legs on the front
corners of the unit. Turn counterclockwise to raise the corner; turn clockwise to lower it.
Leveling legs are required in front only. Unit may have a slight tilt from front to back after legs
are installed. This is acceptable and is recommended on this unit.
POWER SOURCE – The supply circuit to this cabinet
must conform to all National and Local Electrical
Codes. Consult the cabinet Serial-Data plate for
voltage, cycle, phase, and amp requirements before
making connection. VOLTAGE SHOULD NOT VARY
MORE THAN 5% FROM SERIAL PLATE RATINGS. A
separate circuit is recommended to prevent possible
loss of product due to over-loading or failure of other equipment on the same circuit. PROTECT
THE CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP DELAY-TYPE FUSE OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER. Do not use an extension cord. Be sure your unit
is properly grounded. Use the 3-prong plug provided into a
3-prong grounded outlet. (Only this method complies with
national electrical codes, local codes and ordinances.)
Unless the above grounding method is followed, you are
not protected against severe or lethal shock in the event of
a short circuit of an electrical component or wiring of the
unit.
STARTING – There are no compressor shipping bolts to
loosen or valves to open. All that is necessary after the unit
has been properly leveled is to plug the service cord into an
electrical outlet When starting this new appliance, allow
the cabinet to operate a minimum of eight hours or until it has started cycling normally before
placing product in the cabinet. The motor compressor may start and stop several times when
the unit is first started or after defrosting, especially if the weather is very hot. This is only
normal functioning of the motor overload protector. The motor compressor will cycle normally
as soon as the excess heat has been removed.
