It is important to prepare your refrigerator for use. This section will tell you how to clean it, connect it to
a power source, install it and level it.
Cleaning it
Clean your refrigerator before using it, if neces­
sary. See cleaning instructions on page 13.
Plugging it in
Recommended Grounding Method
A 220 or 240 Volt, 50 Hz., AC only 15 or 20
ampere fused and properly grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be
provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be
turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use
an extension cord.
Installing it properly
1. Allow ’/2 inch (1.25 cm) space on each side
and at the top of the refrigerator for ease of
installation.
2. If the hinge side of the refrigerator is to be
against a wall, you might want to leave extra
space so the door can be opened wider.
3. The refrigerator can be flush against the wall.
