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 space around the refrigerator is provided. It is necessary to allow adequate ventilation space
around the unit, including at the back of the unit.
The following additional items must be observed:
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.
2. If the electrical outlet for the refrigerator is behind the cabinet, plug in the refrigerator.
3. Push the refrigerator into position.
