Setting up your refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Let the refrigerator stand upright for approximately four hours before
connecting it to power. This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Finding a suitable location
• This refrigerator is designed to be free standing only, and should not
be recessed or built-in.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the
refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator
and any surrounding walls. This allows the proper air ventilation.
Adjust the feet to keep the refrigerator level.
• Locate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
(stove, heater, radiator, and so on). Direct sunlight may affect the
acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Ambient temperature below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29.4°C) will
hinder the performance of this appliance. This refrigerator is not
designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
Leveling your refrigerator
• It is very important for the refrigerator to be level in order to function
properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the doors
may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems.
• To level your refrigerator, you may either turn the leveling foot
clockwise to raise that side to the refrigerator or turn it
counter-clockwise to lower that side.
Providing proper ventilation
Place the refrigerator at lease five inches from the wall to ensure proper
airflow to the compressor. Do not place the refrigerator near any heat
sources, such as a heater or stove, as this may put a strain on the
compressor.
Note
Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator helps to
take some weight off the leveling foot, making it easier to adjust
it.

Providing a proper power supply
Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a 110V-120V,
60Hz power supply.
Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord o 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.
Notes
• The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate.
• Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.
