iNSTALLiNG YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. Thisincludes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside. Slide out and

remove the plastic or foam guard used to secure the compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.

2. inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape or printed materials before powering on the refrigeraton

3. Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts stated in the Parts and Features section.

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" (t9mm)

Top......................2" (50mm)

Back ....................2" (50mm)

Electrical Requirements

Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (t15 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigeraton

Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice

since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.

Installation

Your refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation only. 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 more than a 45degrees angle.This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.

Ifthe 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 under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be

directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service centen After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for

2 3 hours before placing food into the refrigeraton
