WARNING
When Moving Your Refrigerator:
Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the
refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to protect
the floor. Always pull the refrigerator straight out
when moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator
when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.
INSTALLATION
1. To avoid vibration, the unit must be level. If required,
adjust the leveling screws to compensate for
unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly
higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling
screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet
slightly. Turn the leveling screws clockwise to
raise the unit, counterclockwise to lower it.
2. Install this appliance in an area where the temperature
is between 55°F (13°C) and 110“F (43“C.) If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or high,
cooling ability may be adversely affected.
3. Allow the clearance of at least 2 inch from the ceiling and
1 inch from the side walls for better cooling efficiency, ease
of installation, proper air circulation and electrical
connections.
A CAUTION: Avoid placing the unit near heat sources,
direct sunlight or moisture.
NEXT
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours before
putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in the
freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling. Your
refrigerator is now ready for use.
A WARNING
Be careful when you work with hinge, base cover,
stopper etc. You may be injured.
Do not put hands or foot or metal sticks into air vents,
base cover or bottom of refrigerator. You may be injured
or receive an electrical shock.
