Installation
The refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The refrigerator
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.
Unpacking the Refrigerator
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 use. 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.
Warning: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your refrigerator.

Types of Installation
This refrigerator has been designed for freestanding or built-in installation. In each case, there must be adequate
ventilation and access for service.
Freestanding Installation:
A freestanding 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 built-in installation will allow you to install the refrigerator under a counter as long as the required clearance

including at the back of the unit.

1. Place the refrigerator in front of the installation location. Adjust the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or
on a platform depending on your installation requirements.
