Installing Your Refrigerator
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator
accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.
Proper Air Circulation
• To ensure 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 Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the
refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong
outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in
shock hazard.
Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary
to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet
that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
Installation Limitations
• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated, this refrigerator was not designed to operate
in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g.
radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling
legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
