INSTALLATION
1. Let the refrigerator stand upright for approximately 4 hours before
plugging into the power source. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
2. This refrigerator is designed to be free standing. It was not designed for
recessed or enclosed area installation.
3. Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support it when
it is fully loaded.
4. Do not use in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage
etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperatures below
50°F (10°C) or above 90°F (32°C). In extreme cold ambient temperatures
the refrigerator will not perform properly. Avoid locating the refrigerator
in damp or moist areas. Excessive moisture may cause frost to form
quickly on the evaporator. This would require more frequent defrosting of
the refrigerator. 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 decrease cooling efficiency.
5. Ensure there is a minimum of 13 cm (5") clearance on both sides and
back of the refrigerator to allow for proper air circulation.
NOTE: If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
sufficient space on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.
6. Level the refrigerator by adjusting the legs at the front of the refrigerator.
Turn the Leg clockwise to raise the unit or turn counterclockwise to lower.
While adjusting the Legs, have someone push against the top of the
refrigerator to take some weight off the front leveling legs.
NOTE: To help with door closure, position legs with a 1/8" (3 mm) tilt to
the back.
7. Once the refrigerator has been plugged in, allow the interior to cool for
2-3 hours before putting food inside.
