Installion Limitations
•
Do not install in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your unit was not
d
esigned to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location 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.
• If needed use the 2 leveling legs located at the bottom of the unit to level the refrigerator. Adjust legs
by turning to raise or lower the refrigerator.
• This model is designed for free standing installation. It should not be built-in.
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your unit 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" (19mm)
Top......................................2" (50mm)
Back....................................2" (50mm)
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to
power the unit.
• 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 unit 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.
Energy Saving Tips
• Do not place your refrigerator next to a heating vent, a range, or in direct sunlight.
• Do not open door more often than necessary.
• K
eep the door closed as much as possible, especially in hot and humid weather
.
• Cover foods to reduce moisture build up inside the refrigerator.
• Store only foods that require refrigeration.
• For proper air circulation, do not overfill your refrigerator shelves.
