Installation Guide

INSTALLATION
Remove all packing material before using your appliance. IMPORTANT: Before connecting the unit to a
power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation. Clean the interior surface with
lukewarm water and a soft cloth. This unit is designed for freestanding or built in installation and indoor
or outdoor use. Position the unit in a dry and well-ventilated place. Avoid placing the unit near any
source of heat or moisture, or in direct sunlight. Do NOT install the unit in a location with an ambient
temperature that will fall below 44°F. For freestanding installation, 5 inches of space between the back
and sides of the unit are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and
condenser for energy saving. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” space on each side and
at the top to ensure proper service access and ventilation. And the air vent at the front of the appliance
must never be covered or blocked in any way. Place the unit on a level surface strong enough to support
it when it is fully loaded. To level the appliance, adjust the front leveling legs at the bottom of the
appliance. For best performance it is recommended that you install the appliance in a location with an
ambient temperature between 44°-106°F. If the ambient temperature is above or below recommended
temperatures, the performance of the unit may be affected.
