Electrical Connection
Determine the total amount of current presently being used by
other apparatus connected to the circuit that will be used by this
refrigerator. It is critical that this added current demand and
other equipment on this circuit not exceed the rating of the fuse
or circuit breaker in use.
The frequency and nominal voltage requirements for the unit
are specified on the data plate, which is located on the door's
exterior. Only supply this unit with an electrical source that
meets these requirements. Low line voltage is often the cause
of service complaints. With the unit running, check that the line
voltage is within ±10% of that specified on the data plate.
Door Seal
To check the door seal, complete the steps:
1. Open the door.
2. Insert a strip of paper (a couple of inches wide) between
the door gasket and the cabinet flange and close the door.
3. Slowly pull the paper strip from the outside. You should
feel some resistance.
4. Repeat this test at 4 inch intervals around the door. If the
door does not seal properly, replace the gasket.
Safety Tips
•
After a unit is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces,
particularly when hands are damp. Skin may adhere to the
cold surfaces.
We recommend handling samples by wearing gloves to
avoid frost bite.
•
Never disconnect your unit by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug securely and pull straight out from the
outlet.
•
Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or abrasions.
Have a qualified electrician repair or replace damaged cords
immediately.
