If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

• Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
• This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature controlled such as garages, porches, vehicles, etc.
• Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.

FRONT VENT
This appliance is front breathing. Do not block the front air vent as this will result in high operating temperatures, higher energy usage and possible system overheating and failure.

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level. It is important that the appliance is level to minimize noise and vibration. To level the appliance:

1. Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the cabinet.
2. Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until the appliance is level.
   

HANDLE INSTALLATION

2. Tighten the screws in the side of the handle until they are snug.
   

PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE
Gloves and safety goggles should be worn during installation.
It is not recommended to install the appliance into a corner or directly beside a wall. The door will need to be opened more than 90° to allow full extension of the shelves. If it is necessary to place next to a wall or in a corner, leave at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of space between the wall and the appliance to allow for the door opening.
The cabinet opening must be at least 24 inches (61 cm) wide by 35 inches (88.9 cm) high by 25 inches (63.5 cm) deep.
Note: The listed depth requirement is assuming that the electrical outlet is located in the adjacent cabinetry or fl ush mounted in the rear wall, not surface mounted inside the enclosure.
If the electrical outlet is located inside adjacent cabinetry, cut a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) diameter hole to admit the power cord. If the cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or grommet.
