Leveling The Refrigerator; Electrical Installation; Grounding - Frigidaire FRD055UBIW Instruction Manual

Leveling the refrigerator

Install the refrigerator on a completely
level and solid surface. The door must
be closed when leveling the refrigerator
Use a level with glass-enclosed bubble
to verify whether the refrigerator is
properly leveled, with the four feet firmly
on the floor.
If the refrigerator needs to be adjusted,
carefully lean it and turn the front
adjustable leveling feet until it is firmly
installed.
Proper leveling prevents movement,
vibration and other problems.
Do not substitute the original refrigerator
feet.
Wait at least 2 hours before plugging the
refrigerator in this will prevent operating
problems.
To Level Your Refrigerator:
After discarding crating screws and
wood base, use a carpenter's level to
level the refrigerator from front-to-back.
Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½
bubble higher, so that the door closes
easily when left halfway open.

Electrical installation

Before turning on the refrigerator, check
to see if the voltage of the outlet to be
used is the same as that indicated on
the tag located close to the plug (along
the power cord) or on the refrigerator's
identification label.
Check to see that the refrigerator's plug
is not connected on top of the power
cord.
Connect the refrigerator to its own
outlet. Do not use an extension cord or
adaptor plug.

For your safety, ask an electrician to verify the
condition of the electric wiring in the area where
the refrigerator will be installed.
The wires leading to the outlet into which the
refrigerator will be plugged should be made of
copper and be at least 2.5 mm2 wide. For
greater safety, consult the legislation on
electrical installations in your country.

Grounding

The power cord has a three-pronged grounded
plug for your personal safety. It must be
connected to a grounding type wall receptacle,
in accordance with the legislation governing
electric installations in your country, as well as
any local regulations. Do not remove the
grounding prong, do not use a two pronged
adaptor, and never make a connection to the
schematic. Use the cord supplied with the
equipment (do not change it). If the cord is
damaged, it must be immediately replaced by
specialized personnel.
Attention
Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not
disconnect the power to the light bulb or other electrical components.
For your safety, installation must be grounded. If it is not grounded, it must be
adapted for this by specialized personnel.
