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.
• Install the handles on the drawers, if they are not already attached.
Installation of your Appliance
• The appliance is designed for built-in, recessed, or free-standing installation
CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.
• 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 sides 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:
It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator, or other heating
source. Heat sources may increase electrical consumption, and direct sunlight may affect the
outer coating.
Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 50°F (10°C). For
best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.
