Preparing to install 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 five 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 refrigerator. This refrigerator
is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
