WARNING

Explosion and Fire Hazard

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

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.

Recommended Clearances:

Ŷ Your refrigerator is designed for use in a location where the temperature

ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C).

Ŷ It is recommended that you do

not install the refrigerator in direct sunlight or near a heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc.

Ŷ Place the refrigerator on a floor

strong enough to support it fully loaded. If the floor is uneven, adjust the leveling legs so that the refrigerator is level. See “Level Refrigerator.”

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. To ensure your refrigerator works at optimum efficiency, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, and electrical connections.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 55°F (13°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.

• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 110°F (43°C) because it will not perform properly.

• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

• Do not install the refrigerator in a location exposed to water (rain, etc.) or direct sunlight.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove the ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Immediately discontinue use of a damaged supply cord. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service professional with an authorized service part from the manufacturer.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 - UNPACK REFRIGERATOR

WARNING

Explosion and Fire Hazard Do not puncture refrigerant tubing. Follow handling instructions carefully. Flammable refrigerant used. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.

IMPORTANT: Handle with care when moving refrigerator to avoid either

damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak. IMPORTANT: When moving the refrigerator, never tilt it more than a 45°

angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system. If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal position for any period of time, wait 30 minutes before plugging in the refrigerator to allow the refrigerant to settle.

REMOVE PACKAGING

Ŷ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the

refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

NOTE: Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids,

or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see “Refrigerator Safety.”

Ŷ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials.

CLEAN BEFORE USING

After you r emo ve all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of the refrigerat or bef or e using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Refrigerator Care.”
