Setting up your refrigerator
Before using your refrigerator
1 Remove the interior packing.
2 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.
3 Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
4 Wait for approximately 24 hours after the thermostat has been set before
placing any food in your refrigerator.
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.
• Locate the refrigerator in your home or garage away from direct sunlight
because it may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. To ensure optimal performance, install in areas with
an ambient temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 109°F (42.8°C).
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
• The refrigerator door must be able to swing fully open.
Leveling your refrigerator
• It is very important for the refrigerator to be level. 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, rotate the leveling feet clockwise (to raise) the
refrigerator or counter-clockwise (to lower).
Note: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator helps to take
some weight off the leveling foot, making it easier to adjust.
Providing proper ventilation
Place the refrigerator at least 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.
Providing a proper power supply
Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a 110V-120V, 60Hz power
supply.

Using a 3-prong plug and outlet
Using a grounding adapter
Use a receptacle that accepts the grounding prong. The power cord 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 refrigerator.
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.
