ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Before moving your refrigerator to its desired location, it is important to check that the proper
electrical connection will be used.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an
outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Be sure to unplug the refrigerator prior to installation, cleaning, or general maintenance
such as changing the light bulb.
PLACING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
WARNING:
Two or more people are required to move and/or install the refrigerator. Failure to do
so may cause back or other injury.
NOTE: The letters “OS” in the model number of your appliance indicate that it can be used in
outdoor settings. It has special insulation and a weather-resistant stainless steel body wrap.
Also, a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is built into the line cord. In the event the
refrigerator is not operating, first check to see that the GFCI has not tripped, then press the
RESET button.
1. Choose a location for the refrigerator that has a strong, level floor. If such a place is
unavailable, be sure to adjust the rotating leg supports such that the refrigerator is always
kept level.
2. Your refrigerator needs at least ¼” (6.35 mm) of air space at the top and on the sides, and
2” (5.08 cm) at the rear to allow for proper air ventilation. Be sure that airflow under the
appliance is not blocked. If the refrigerator is installed next to a fixed wall, provide at least
2½ inches (6.35 cm) of room on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Light will discolor the enamel finish. In addition, when placed
near a heat source such as stove or direct sunlight, the refrigerator will consume more
electricity. Similarly, avoid installing in relatively cold locations: do not install in a place
where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
4. Avoid moisture. If placed near a sink or water faucet, the evaporator will frost faster because
of the higher humidity.
WARNING:
EXPLOSION HAZARD. Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away
from the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion or fire.
