English			English

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1Remove 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 assure 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 plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two plug 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.

Install Limitations

•Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your 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 at the bottom.
