NOTE
The exterior walls of the appliance may
become quite warm as the compressor
works to transfer heat from the inside.
Temperatures as much as 30°F warmer
than room temperature can be expected.
For this reason it is particularly important
in hotter climates to allow enough space
for air circulation around your unit.
This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions
for your model. We recommend using a
service or kitchen contracting professional
to install your appliance. Use the unit only
as instructed in this Use & Care Guide.
Before starting the appliance, follow these
important rst steps.
NOTE
It is Very Important for your appliance to
be level in order to function properly. If
the unit is not leveled during installation,
the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or
moisture problems.
After discarding crating screws, use a
carpenter’s level to level the unit from front-
to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in
front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door
closes easily when left halfway open.
Cleaning (Prior to use)
• Wash any removable parts, the appliance
interior, and exterior with mild detergent
and warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use
harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other
sharp instruments, which can scratch
the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from the
tape can be removed with a mixture of
warm water and mild detergent, or touch
the residue with the sticky side of tape
already removed. Do not remove the
serial plate.
