3. Installation
Before using your appliance
• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for
approximately 4 hours. This will reduce 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.
Free-standing installation
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove,
heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat
sources may increase electrical consumption. Ambient temperature below 68°F
(20°C) or above 90°F (32°C) will hinder the performance of this appliance.
This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do
not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be
directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center.
