INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

LOCATION
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the floor is a
flat, level surface and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locat-
ing your unit near a heat source, such as an oven, stove top,
boiler, or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase
the electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also prevent the
unit from operating effectively.. This unit is not designed for
use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not place any cover-
ing such as a drape or sheet on the unit.
When installing the unit, ensure that a minimum of 3 inches of
free space is left at both sides and in the rear, and 1 inch at the
top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the
refrigerator and improve the efficiency of the cooling process.
The unit's door must be able to open fully as shown.
W×D ≥ 50.8 inches × 58.5 inches
LEVELING THE UNIT
It is very important to keep the unit level, so that the door will
close properly and prevent problems that will cause effective
cooling to fail. To level the unit, turn the two adjustable feet
clockwise or counterclockwise to respectively raise or lower
the corner.
Note: If the unit is not level, the door and magnetic seal align-
ments will not be covered properly.
CLEANING BEFORE USE
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of baking
soda (bicarbonate). Then rinse with warm water using a damp
sponge or cloth. Wash the shelves and bins in warm soapy wa-
ter and dry completely before putting back in the unit. Clean
the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The refrigerator must be
plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical outlet. Performance may be affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with
insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage
is not covered under your warranty The power cord of the
appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for
your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong recep-
tacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Do not use an extension cord or
adapter plug.

a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or ser-
vice person if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
