operation.
After unpacking the unit, remove the packing materials and place the unit on a level and sturdy floor
near a power socket.
Leave at least 4" of space between the back of the unit and the wall for ventilation. Leave space
enough to allow the door to swing open 160°.
Keep the unit away from heat sources and avoid direct sunlight.
Never place the unit in a location with high humidity or where water can reach it.
It is recommended that you install the appliance in a place where the ambient temperature is between
72º and 78ºF (23º-26ºC). If the ambient temperature is above or below the recommended
temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected. For example, placing your unit in extreme
cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.

dangling.
The appliance should always be plugged into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug
