Location Requirements

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven,
radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the
temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C).
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and side of the
refrigerator and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the refrigerator
and the wall. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall, leave extra
space on the hinge side so the door can open wider.
Keep the appliance ventilation openings free.
Do not damage the appliance refrigerant circuit pipes.
Install the appliance in a dry and well-ventilated place.
NOTE: This refrigerator may be installed side by side with
another refrigerator or freezer as shown.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
A 220/240 volt, 50/60 Hz, AC only, 10-amp fused and grounded
(earthed) electrical supply is required.
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power
supply by unplugging it or by means of a mains two-pole switch
installed upstream of the socket.

Recommended Grounding Method

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your
freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a
switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the Temperature Control to the OFF
position as shown and then disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical
source and reset the Temperature Control to the desired setting.
See "Using the Control."
