INSTALLATION
Before Using Your Refrigerator-Freezer
 Remove the exterior and interior packing.
 Check to be sure refrigerator and freezer shelves are installed and that
the strips of tape holding them in place have been removed.
 Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for
at least ½ hour. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the
cooling system from handling during transportation.
 Clean the interior surfaces with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Any
plastic odor that you notice when you first open the doors will dissipate
once the appliance is operating.
Installation of Your Appliance
 This appliance is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
 Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when
it is fully loaded. Be sure the appliance is level. (Level your refrigerator-
freezer by adjusting the legs at the front.)
 Allow at least 5 inches of space between the back of the unit and the
wall behind, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the
compressor. This improves cooling efficiency and saves energy.
 Do not cover the top of the unit with a mat or cloth. This will help
maintain the operating efficiency of the appliance.
 Locate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
(stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic
coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also cause the refrigerator
to perform improperly.
 Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
 This refrigerator-freezer is equipped with a three-prong plug and is
grounded to eliminate electrical hazards. In order to make it effective,
the unit must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.
 Do not use an extension cord.
