BEFORE COMMENCING OPERATION
Installation site
To operate this unit properly and to obtain maximum performance, install the unit in a location with the
following conditions:
1. A location not subjected to direct sunlight
Installation in a location subjected to direct sunlight may lead to inadequate cooling.
2. A location with adequate ventilation
Leave at least 10cm around the unit for ventilation. Poor ventilation will result in a reduction of the
refrigeration capacity.
3. A location away from heat generating sources
Avoid installing the unit near heat-emitting appliances such as gas ranges or stoves. Heat can cause
inefficient refrigeration.
4. A location with a sturdy and level floor
Install the unit on a sturdy floor to avoid vibration and noise. Placing the unit on an unsteady floor may
cause vibration and noise.
WARNING
Be sure to install the unit on a sturdy floor. If the floor is not strong enough or the installation site is
not adequate, this may result in injury from the unit falling or tipping over.
CAUTION
Select a level and sturdy floor for installation. This precaution will prevent the unit from tipping.
Improper installation may result in water spillage or injury from the unit tipping over.
5. A location not prone to high humidity
WARNING
Do not use the unit outdoors. Current leakage or electric shock may result if the unit is exposed to
rain water.
Never install the unit in a humid place or a place where it is likely to be splashed by water.
Deterioration of the insulation may result which could cause current leakage or electric shock.
Do not install the unit under water pipes or steam pipes. Deterioration of the insulation may result
which could cause current leakage or electric shock.
6. A location without a flammable or corrosive gas
Avoid placing the unit where chemicals are stored or gases are produced. Also avoid areas where there
is a great deal of dust.
WARNING
Never install the unit in a flammable or volatile location. This may cause explosion or fire.
Never install the unit where acid or corrosive gases are present as current leakage or electric shock
may result due to corrosion.
7. A location not subjected to strong electromagnet interference
