Installation
WARNING
To be done by a qualified engineer only.
Location
• Do not install refrigerator near oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield refrigerator with cabinet material.
• Do not install where temperature falls below 13° C or rises above 43° C. Malfunction may occur at this temperature.
• Refrigerator is designed for indoor household application only.
Measuring the Opening
When installing your refrigerator allow 13 mm space at top, 19 mm space behind machine compartment cover ( located in the rear). Allow 6 mm space on both sides of the refrigerator for proper air circulation, ease of installation, and leveling. If the refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against the wall, you may want to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.
Transporting Your Refrigerator
• NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an
upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in to assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.
• Use an appliance dolly when moving refrigerator.
ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back–NEVER from its front.
• Protect outside finish of refrigerator during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.
• Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles when possible. Do not overtighten. Overtightening restraints may dent or damage outside finish.
