• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the appliance is

equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock

hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle,

protected with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be

installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electri- cian. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault

It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appliance to

be level in order to function properly. If the unit isnot leveled during installation, the door/lid may

To level Upright Uaits:

After discarding crating screws, use a carpenter's level to level the appliance from front to back.

Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 1/2bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left

halfway open.

To level Chest Units:

If needed, add metal or wood shims between feet pads and floor.
