Refrigerator Installation
The refrigerator is designed for free-standing installation only. It should not be
recessed or built in. Install the refrigerator on a base strong enough to support
it when fully loaded. If the base is not level, adjust the feet of the refrigerator.
Allow air to circulate freely around the refrigerator. The following clearances
permit proper air circulation: top – 4", back – 3", sides – 3".
Electrical Connection
Important: For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service center if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood. If doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded, have a qualified electrician check the circuit to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord.
Use of Extension Cords
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.
