Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1.
Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive
tape holding the refrigerator
accessories inside and outside. Slide out and
remove the plastic or foam guard used to protect the compressor
from shipping
damage due to vibration and shock.
2.
Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape or printed materials
before powering on the refrigerator.
3.
Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts listed
in the Parts and
Features section.
Proper Air Circulation
To ensure that your refrigerator
works at the maximum efficiency
it was
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air
circulation,
plumbing and electrical
connections.
The following
are recommended
clearances around the refrigerator
:
Sides ................... 3/4" (19mm)
Top ...................... 2" (50mm)
Back .................... 2" (50mm)
Electrical Requirements
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the refrigeraton
WARNING:
Avoid the use of three prong adapters.
NEVER cut off the
third grounding
prong in order to accommodate
a two prong outlet.
Cutting off the grounding
prong is a dangerous
practice
since it provides
no effective grounding for the refrigerator
and may result in serious injury
from electrical
shock.
Installation
Your refrigerator
is designed for freestanding
installation ont4 It should not be
recessed or built-in. Place the refrigerator
on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded.
When moving the refrigerator,
never tilt it by more than a 45 degrees angle. This
could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
tf the refrigerator
has been tilted more than 45 degrees, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This
will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system.
Plug the refrigerator
into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall outlet.
Do not plug another appliance
into the same outlet as the refrigeraton
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from
the power cord. Any questions concerning
power and/or grounding should be
directed toward a certified electrician
or a Sears or other qualified service dealer
After plugging the appliance
into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for
2-3 hours before placing food into the refrigeraton
Installation
Limitations
Do not install your refrigerator
in any location
not properly
insulated or
heated, such as a garage, etc. Your refrigerator
was not designed to operate in temperature
settings below 55 ° Fahrenheit. Select a suitable location for the refrigerator
