Installation
Before Using your
Refrigerator
∙ Remove the exterior and interior
packing.
∙ Let the refrigerator stand upright
for approximately four hours before
connecting it to power. This reduces
the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system from improper
handling during transportation.
∙ Clean the interior surface with
lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Finding a Suitable Location
∙ This refrigerator is designed to be
free standing only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
∙ Place your refrigerator on a floor
that is strong enough to support the
refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
∙ Allow 1 inch of space between the
back and sides of the refrigerator
from any surrounding walls for
proper air ventilation. Adjust the feet
to keep the refrigerator level.
∙ Locate the refrigerator away from
direct sunlight and sources of heat
(stove, heater, radiator, and so
on). Direct sunlight may affect the
acrylic coating and heat sources may
increase electrical consumption.
Ambient temperature below 50°F
(10°C) or above 85°F (29.4°C) will
hinder the performance of this
refrigerator. This refrigerator is not
designed for use in a garage or any
other outside installation.
∙ Avoid locating the refrigerator in
moist areas.
Leveling your Refrigerator
∙ It is very important for the
refrigerator to be level in order to
function properly. If the refrigerator
is not leveled during installation, the
doors may not close or seal properly,
causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems.
∙ To level your refrigerator, turn the
leveling foot clockwise to raise that
side of the refrigerator or turn it
counter-clockwise to lower that side.
NOTE:
Having someone push against
the top of the refrigerator helps to take
some weight off the leveling foot and
makes it easier to adjust.
Providing Proper Ventilation
Place the refrigerator at lease one
inch from the wall to ensure proper
airflow to the compressor and two sides
condenser. Do not place the refrigerator
near any heat sources, such as a heater
or stove, as this may put a strain on the
compressor.
Providing a Proper Power
Supply
Check your local power source. This
refrigerator requires a 110V-120V, 60Hz
power supply.
Use a receptacle that accepts the
grounding prong. The power cord is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock
