INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
4
Note: This refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation
only. Make sure all air circulation guidelines are followed.
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive
tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before
powering on the refrigerator.
Proper Air Circulation
• To ensure that your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency, you should
install it in a location with proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical
connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the
refrigerator:
Sides…………….1" (25mm)
Top....................1" (25mm)
Back..................1" (25mm)
Electrical Requirements
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three-plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order
to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it
provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in
shock hazard.
Use of Extension Cord
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to, or
greater than, the electrical rating of the appliance.
Install Limitations
• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated,
e.g. 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 source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking
appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs
located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
