INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Appliance
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2
hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water, using a soft cloth. Then, dry thoroughly.
• Install the handles on the drawers if they are not already attached.
Installation of Your Appliance
• This appliance is designed for free standing or built-in (fully recessed) installation.
• Place your appliance where the floor is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To
level the appliance, adjust the front leveling legs.
• For free-standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the appliance,
and 4” (102mm) at the top, are suggested. This allows the proper air circulation to cool the
compressor and condenser. For built-
in installation, keep ¼” (6.35mm) of space between the top
and side
s of the appliance, and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Make sure the air vent at the front of the
appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.
NOTE:
When the product is installed, there should be a small ventilation gap between the top of the
appliance and the underside of any fitting above (6mm or 1/4").
Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize
the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service
center.
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed
or dangling.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged,
have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
