Page 6: Installing Your Refrigerator
Installing Your Refrigerator The refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. It should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the refrigerator into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle. WARNING: Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your refrigerator before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. IMPORTANT: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your refrigerator. TYPES OF INSTALLATION: This refrigerator has been designed for free‐standing or built‐in installation. In every case, there must be adequate ventilation and access for service. Free‐standing installation: A free‐standing installation will allow you to install the refrigerator in almost any place you desire. You must follow the stated instructions for electrical requirements and leveling the refrigerator. Built‐in installation: A recessed installation will allow you to install the refrigerator under a counter or in a kitchen cabinet provided the clearance space requirements around the refrigerator are followed. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit (make sure there is at least some ventilation room for the back of the unit). The following additional items must be observed: 1. Place the refrigerator in front of the installation location. 2. Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements. 3. If the electrical outlet for the refrigerator is behind the cabinet, plug in the refrigerator. 4. Push the refrigerator into position. WARNING: Do NOT install the refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door. ... -
Page 7: Installing Your Refrigerator Continued
Installing Your Refrigerator Continued INSTALLING: When installing the refrigerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. • To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow between 2‐3 inches of clearance at the back as shown in the diagram. • The installation should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary. • A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required. IMPORTANT: Once you are ready to install it in a cabinet or directly on the floor, you must adjust the feet to level the refrigerator. LEVELING: The refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able to support the entire weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the refrigerator becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine. Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator. Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator. RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD: For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3‐prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3‐pronged wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3‐prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician. ... -

Page 10: Internal Light
Internal Light This refrigerator is equipped with top and side internal lights that can be either blue or white in color – whichever you choose. The internal lights will illuminate when the door is open and turn off when the door is closed. NOTE: Every unit is run tested at the factory. Because of this, your model may default to either a blue or white light setting out of the box. The automatic light feature is triggered by a sensor located on the front vent. This sensor allows the refrigerator to recognize when the door is open or closed. Defrosting Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build‐up. If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit. WARNING: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object. Normal Sounds Your new refrigerator may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor or walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them. • Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. • Items stored on top of the refrigerator can also make noises. • The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high‐pitched sound. • The internal fan will run frequently to create a consistent internal temperature environment. • Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound. • As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator. ... -
