GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance has a cord that has a grounding
wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage
and frequency the appliance is designed for.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualifi ed electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before throwing
away an old appliance:

• Remove the door or lid.

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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LOCATION

• Two people should be used when moving the
appliance.

• Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to
installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance
with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a
lukewarm wet cloth.

• Place the appliance on a fl oor that is strong
enough to support it when it is fully loaded.

• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or
near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater,
as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the appliance to perform improperly.

• Do not use the appliance near water, for
example in a wet basement or near a sink.

• This appliance is intended for household use
only. It is not designed for outside installation,
including anywhere that is not temperature
controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).

• Before connecting the appliance to a power
source, let it stand upright for approximately
6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.

FRONT VENT

This appliance is front breathing. Do not block the
front air vent as this will result in high operating
temperatures, higher energy usage and possible
system overheating and failure.

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS

There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the
appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level. It is important that the
appliance is level to minimize noise and vibration.
To level the appliance:

1. Move the appliance to its fi nal location.

• This appliance is 23.8 inches (60.5 cm) wide
by 34.1 inches (86.6 cm) high by 23.7 inches
(60.3 cm) deep.

2. Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE

Gloves and safety goggles should be worn during
installation.

It is not recommended to install the appliance into a
corner or directly beside a wall. The door will need
to be opened more than 90° to allow full extension
of the shelves. If it is necessary to place the unit next
to a wall or in a corner, leave at least 2-4 inches (5­10 cm) of space between the wall and the appliance
to allow for the door opening.

The cabinet opening must be at least 24 inches (61
cm) wide by 35 inches (88.9 cm) high by 25 inches
(63.5 cm) deep.

Note: The listed depth requirement is assuming
that the electrical outlet is located in the adjacent
cabinetry or fl ush mounted in the rear wall, not
surface mounted inside the enclosure.

If the electrical outlet is located inside adjacent
cabinetry, cut a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) diameter hole to
admit the power cord. If the cabinet wall is metal,
the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or
grommet.

leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if
necessary.

• Secure the shelves with tape.

• Secure the door with tape.

• Turn the adjustable foot up to avoid damage.

• Protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.

during transportation, upon reaching the
destination, allow it to remain upright for 6
hours before plugging in to avoid damage to
internal components.

ERROR CODES

If the “HI” or “LO” error codes appear on the
display for more than 5 minutes, a power reset
may rectify the issue. Unplug the appliance, wait
5 minutes and then plug the appliance back in. If
