First Steps
This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions
for your model. We recommend using a
service or kitchen contracting professional
to install your appliance. Use the unit only
as instructed in this Use & Care Guide.
Before starting the appliance, follow
these important rst steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a
grounded, non-GFCI, electrical outlet.
Do Not use an extension cord or an
adapter plug.
• For the most ecient operation, the unit
should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 110°F
(43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C)
and below will NOT aect operation.
Additional compressor heaters are
not recommended.
• Allow space around the unit for good
air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm)
space on all sides of the appliance for
adequate circulation.
NOTE
The exterior walls of the appliance
may become quite warm as the
compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as
30°F warmer than room temperature
can be expected. For this reason it
is particularly important in hotter
climates to allow enough space for air
circulation around your unit.
Leveling
The unit must have all bottom corners
resting rmly on a solid oor. The oor
must be strong enough to support a fully
loaded appliance.
NOTE
It is Very Important for your appliance
to be level in order to function properly.
If the unit is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned
and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To Level Upright Models:
After discarding crating screws, use a
carpenter’s level to level the unit from
front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling
feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the
door closes easily when left halfway open.
To Level Chest Models:
If needed, add metal or wood shims
between foot pads and oor.
Cleaning (Prior to use)
• Wash any removable parts, the appliance
interior, and exterior with mild detergent
and warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use
harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other
sharp instruments, which can scratch
the appliance surface when removing
adhesive labels. Any glue left from the
tape can be removed with a mixture
of warm water and mild detergent, or
touch the residue with the sticky side of
tape already removed. Do not remove
the serial plate.
