Installation
Choosing a Location
- Freestanding: Place on a flat, level, and sturdy floor. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for air circulation (minimum 2 inches on sides and back, 4 inches on top).
- Built-In (Under Counter): The unit is designed for front-ventilation, allowing it to be installed flush under a counter or in a cabinet without rear or top clearance for heat exhaust. Ensure the cut-out dimensions match the unit's external dimensions.
- Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources (ovens, radiators), and areas with high humidity.
- The surface must support the weight of the fully loaded unit.
Leveling the Unit
The refrigerator has adjustable feet at the front. Use a wrench to turn the feet clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower them until the unit is perfectly level. A level unit ensures proper door seal and operation.
Electrical Connection
- Before plugging in, ensure the voltage of your outlet matches the unit's requirement (115V AC).
- Plug the power cord directly into a dedicated, properly grounded wall outlet.
- Do not use a multi-plug adapter or extension cord.
