INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) polarized plug for your
protection against possible shock hazards.
•
DO NOT remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.
•
DO NOT use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
•
DO NOT use an extension cord to
connect power to the unit.
To protect the refrigerator from possible
damage, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to
1 hour in place before turning the electricity
on. This allows the refrigerant and system
lubrication to reach equilibrium.
Customer’s Responsibility
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp fused electrical supply is
required. We recommend using a dedicated circuit
for this appliance to prevent electrical overload.
Follow the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances when installing the receptacle.
Blocking For Safety
The anti-tip bracket must be installed to prevent
the unit from tipping after it is installed. Refer to
Blocking For Safety.
Unit Venting
Do not restrict the air flow. Air flow must be
provided for the unit to operate.
Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus
approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food

must be adjusted if the floor heights are not
equal to make sure air vents are not obstructed.
• Remove anything attached to rear or side walls
that can obstruct refrigerator opening.
