Proper Air Circulation
•To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum ef ficiency 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....................2" (50mm)
Back..................2" (50mm)
Electrical Requirement
•Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
•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.
Use of Extension Cords
•Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions. 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 3slot 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.
Install 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 at the bottom.

Warning:To avoid electric shock always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning.
Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury.
Caution:Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
General: • Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking soda mixed
