Installing Your Refrigerator

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before connecting power to your refrigerator.

Leveling Your Refrigerator:

• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you should level your refrigerator for horizontal standing.

• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are raised.

Proper Air Circulation

• To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

• The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator: Sides……………3/4" (19mm)

Top....................1" (25mm)

Back..................1" (25mm)

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

WARNING

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.

English

Installation Limitations

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.

Use of Extension Cords

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Food Storage Information

Fresh Food

• When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of odors and tastes.

• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.

• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to maximize shelf life.

• Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in sealed plastic bags before storing in the refrigerator.

• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers.

• Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in plastic bags or containers.

• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration. This will prevent unnecessary energy use.

• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.

• When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for safe storage:

• Chicken 1-2 Days

• Ground Beef 1-2 Days

English

Frozen Food

• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out. Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of the improperly packaged food.

Packaging Recommendations:

•

Plastic containers with air tight lids Heavy duty aluminum foil Plastic wrap made from saran film Self-sealing plastic bags

• Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.

• It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• The fan circulating air inside the interior of your unit to maintain the temperature you have selected.

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.

• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
