INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
•
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that is
the same height as the rest of the flooring. The surface should be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
•
The rollers are not casters and should only be used for forward or backward movement. Moving
the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers.
Locating your Appliance
•
In order to improve the efficiency of the cooling system and save energy, it is necessary to
maintain good ventilation around the appliance for the dissipation of heat. For this reason,
sufficient clear space should be available around the refrigerator.
•
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight, rain, or frost. Make the appliance is placed away from
heat sources, such as stoves, fires, or heaters.
•
Avoid placing the appliance in a dry place to avoid moisture.
NOTE: Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for four hours, to
allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
•
This appliance is intended for freestanding installation. Please allow these minimum clearances
to ensure the best operation and proper ventilation:
1" on the side (and even more space to allow the doors to open wider than their width to
o
make it easier to remove shelves and storage bins)
1" at the rear
o
1" at the top
o
CAUTION: Be sure that airflow at the bottom of the appliance is not blocked.
•
Place the appliance in a room with an ambient temperature between 50°F and 90°F. The
refrigerator may not work properly if it is left in temperatures above or below the indicated
temperature range.
Leveling your Appliance
For sufficient leveling and air circulating in the lower rear area of your appliance, the bottom feet may
be adjusted. You may adjust them manually by hand or by using a suitably sized wrench. To allow
the doors to self-close, tilt the appliance backwards by 10-15mm (1/3" – 2/3").
NOTE: You may lay the refrigerator on its back in order to gain access to the base, you should rest it
on soft foam packaging or similar material to avoid damaging the backboard of the refrigerator.
