• Refer to the serial plate for correct
electrical rating. The power cord of the
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against
shock hazards. It must be plugged directly
into its own properly grounded three-prong
receptacle, protected with a 15-amp time
delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with
the local codes and ordinances. Consult
a qualified electrician. Receptacles with
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)
are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.
• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or
more, appliance performance may be
affected. Operating the appliance with
insufficient power can damage the
compressor. Such damage is not covered
under the warranty. If you suspect your
voltage is high or low, consult your power
company for testing.
• To prevent the appliance from being turned
off accidentally, do not plug the unit into an
outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• DO NOT pinch, knot, or bend the power
cord in any manner.
Other Precautions
WARNING
• NEVER unplug the appliance by
pulling on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the
appliance before cleaning.
NOTE

Turning the control to "OFF" turns off the
compressor but does not disconnect power
to other electrical components.

First Steps

Inspection for Damage
Inspect the underside of the cabinet and
packaging for damage, similar to what can
be caused with a forklift. If hidden damage
is found after uncrating, immediately call the
delivery carrier and request an inspection.
Retain all packaging and crating materials
until the inspection is complete.
Parts and Accessories
• Using a utility knife with a sharp, short
blade, cut along the perimeter of the
carton as indicated.
• Lift the carton off the product.
• Remove the package containing the
casters from the unit.
