Proper Air Circulation
To ensure that your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency 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 inches (18mm)
Top......................2 inches (50mm)
I
Back .................. 2 inches (50mm)
Electrical Requirements
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115volts, 15amps) with
proper grounding to power the refrigeraton
WARNING: Avoid the use of three prong adapters. NEVER cut off the third
grounding prong inorder to accommodate a two prong outlet. Cutting off the
grounding prong isa dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding
for the refrigerator and may result in serious injury from electrical shock.
I
Installation
Your refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation ont4 It should not be
recessed or built-in. Place the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded. When moving the refrigerator, never tilt it by more than a 45 degrees angle. This
could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
tf the refrigerator has been tilted more than 45 degrees, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This
will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system.
Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall outlet.
Do not plug another appliance into the same outlet as the refrigeraton
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from
the power cord. See the WARNING in Electrical Requirements on the previous
page. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician or a Sears or other qualified service dealer
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for
2-3 hours before placing food into the refrigeraton
Installation Limitations
Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or
heated, such as a 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 sources such as radiators, baseboard heaters,
cooking appliances, etc.
