GETTING STARTED
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This is accomplished by
ensuring the plug is inserted into a properly grounded outlet.
This way, in the event of an electrical short circuit, the risk of
electric shock is reduced by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or ser-
vice person if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade
grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
LOCATION
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the floor is a
flat, level surface and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locat-
ing your unit near a heat source, such as an oven, stove top,
boiler, or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase
the electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also prevent the
unit from operating eectively.. This unit is not designed for
use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not place any cover-
ing such as a drape or sheet on the unit.
When installing the unit, ensure that a minimum of 5 inches of free
space is le at both sides and in the rear, and 5 inches of space at
the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the
refrigerator and improve the eiciency of the cooling process.
LEVELING THE UNIT
It’s very important to keep the unit level, so that the door will
close properly and prevent problem that will cause eective
cooling to fail. To level the unit, turn the four adjustable feet
clockwise or counterclockwise to respectively raise or lower
the corner.
Tip: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
will take some weight o the leveling leg. This makes it easier
to adjust the leveling leg.
CLEANING BEFORE USE
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of baking
soda (bicarbonate). Then rinse with warm water using a damp
sponge or cloth. Wash the shelves and bins in warm soapy water
and dry completely before putting back in the unit.
Note: This unit is shipped with a protective plastic covering
around the exterior. Remove completely before use.
POWER SUPPLY
• Be sure to plug in to 110V-120V (60Hz) grounded outlet.
• You must make sure all three prongs are in a 3-pronged
outlet (see note below).
• You may use extension cords only if they marked electrical
rating of the cord is at least as great as the rating of this
appliance, and is properly grounded as well.
• If using an extension cord, ensure that any excess does not
become a trip hazard.
Notes: When plugging in to wall, it should have a dedicated
outlet. (see Fig1. ).
If you only have a two-pronged outlet, adapters are available
but must be used properly (see Fig.2 ).
