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.
INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
The appliance is designed for freestanding use.
CAUTION
:
This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products.
Place your appliance on a surface that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
For optimum performance, ensure there is 5
” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit,
and 4” (102mm) at the top, to allow proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Take
care that the air vent 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
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Don’t 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 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.
