IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Your safety and the safety of others are very important to us.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages. You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this
manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when
using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Plug appliance into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong, nor use a 3/2 adapter.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use

receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Unplug the unit or disconnect power before servicing or cleaning. Failure to do so can result
in electrical shock or death.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• After servicing, replace all parts and panels before operating.

• Use nonflammable cleaners.

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliances.

FOLLOW WARNING CALL-OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL.

• Use two or more people to move and install appliance.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the appliance must be completely

unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below
90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as
wind, rain, water spray or drips.

• The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.

• The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance

with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is
required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.

• The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.

• It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make

several adjustments to level it.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed, per the instructions in this manual.

• Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• Flammable materials should not be stored in or on the unit.

• All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.

• Make certain that the pipes are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.

• Check for leaks after connection.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may

damage or discolor the interior.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Instruction Manual.

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the door and cabinet are

necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

DANGER! Risk of child entrapment!

Old appliances can represent a suffocation hazard to children.

• Remove doors from your old appliance.

• Leave shelves in place so that children cannot easily climb inside.

• If old appliance contains refrigerants, it must be recycled by a licensed service

or disposal company.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you

open the door, try to close it as soon as possible.

• When the unit is built-in: While this unit can be installed under a counter and the

compressor cooling is fan-assisted, an air gap of 2” between the rear of the unit and the wall
or counter surface behind is strongly recommended. This will enhance cooling and reduce
energy waste. Also leave at least 3/16” on both sides and 1/16” at the top. Be sure that
airflow under the appliance is not blocked.

• When the appliance is used as a free-standing unit: When placing your unit, make sure

you allow at least 4” of clearance at the sides, rear and top to allow for adequate airflow.

• Set the thermostat from a higher to lower setting whenever possible, depending on how full

the appliance is or what the ambient temperature is.

• Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.

• Periodically, check that the unit’s door seals well and that the contents do not prevent the

door from closing.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

These instructions are important, and we request you read them before using this appliance.
They describe the appliance and the correct and safe way to use it.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, leave it standing for a least 8 hours. This
allows the refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and reduces the risk of malfunctions in
the cooling system caused by shipping.

Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior. (See Cleaning the Appliance on page

12.) Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire.

remove the grounding plug! Connect to a 120V, 60Hz grounded AC outlet having a minimum 15
amps. Do not use an extension cord

. Use a three-prong plug with a three-prong grounded wall

outlet. If you do not have one, have a certified electrician install the proper outlet.
