Installing Your Refrigerator
•
This
appliance 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. To level your refrigerator, adjust the leveling leg at the bottom of the refrigerator.
•
Allow 12 cm of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows the
proper air circulation to cool the compressor.
•
Locate the refrigerator 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. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the refrigerator not to
perform properly.
•
Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
•
Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, 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.
•
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before
placing food in the refrigerator compartment.
