OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Installation
Your refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed
or built-in. Place the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
When moving the refrigerator, never tilt it by more than a 45 degree angle, this could
damage the compressor and the sealed system.
If the refrigerator has been tilted more than 45 degrees, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This will allow
the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
Plug the refrigerator into its own dedicated, properly installed grounded wall outlet.
Do not plug another appliance into the same outlet as the refrigerator.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the
power cord. See the
WARNING
in
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
section.
Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a
certified electrician or other qualified service dealer.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3
hours before placing food into the refrigerator.
Installation Limitations
Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated, such as
a garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature settings
below 55° Fahrenheit. Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on the hard even
service away from direct sunlight or heat sources such as radiators, baseboard heaters,
cooking appliances, etc.
Leveling Feet
There are two leveling feet on the bottom of the unit near the unit front. Turn the
leveling foot knobs to the left to raise the cabinet, and to the right to lower the cabinet.
