Installing Your Refrigerator

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all

adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and

outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed

materials before powering on the refrigerator.

Proper Air Circulation

• To assure your refrigerator 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 refrigerator.

• 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 refrigerator and may

result in shock hazard.

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.

Install Limitations

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or

heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate

in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator 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 with the leveling legs located at the bottom.

• If the refrigerator is not leveled, adjust the front leveling legs by turning

counterclockwise to raise the refrigerator and clockwise to lower it.
