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 drawer if they are not already attached. (See page 7.)
Installation of your Appliance
The appliance is designed for built-in or recessed or free-standing installation for indoor or
outdoor use.
CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.
Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level
the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
For free-standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and 4”
(102mm) at the top, are suggested. This allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor
and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is necessary to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each
side and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the
appliance is never covered or blocked in any way.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator, or other
heating sources. Direct sunlight may affect the outer coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 44°F
(7°C). For best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the
base grille.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.
Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug that fits into a standard three-prong wall outlet 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.
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.
