BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the refrigerator to the power source, let the unit stand upright for
approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling
system from possible improper handling during transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Refer to Cleaning
Instruction Section)
INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is
fully loaded.
• Allow 5" (13cm) of space between each side of the refrigerator. This allows for proper air
ventilation. Adjust the feet to keep the refrigerator level.
• 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. Ambient temperature below 10°C (50°F) or above 29°C (85°F) will
hinder the performance of this appliance.
• This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation.
• Avoid locating the refrigerator in damp areas.
• Plug the refrigerator into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or an authorized service center. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV
or used with an inverter.
• After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool
down for 2~3 hours under before placing food in the refrigerator or freezer compartment.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the
power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a certified electrician.
• This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug which matches with standard three prong
wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power
cord supplied.
• This refrigerator requires a standard 115 Volt A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
ground.
• This refrigerator is not designed to be used with an inverter.
• The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not left exposed or dangling to
prevent accidental injury.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an
extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.
