ensuring the plug is inserted into a properly grounded outlet.

wire and plug. When grounded, the risk of electric shock is
reduced by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if there is any doubt that the appliance or outlet is not properly
grounded.

bly dispose of (or recycle) your old refrigerator.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
MOVING THE APPLIANCE
CAUTION: To avoid serious injury, always ensure that any relo-
cation of the unit is always performed by two people. Use cau-
tion when moving the unit to ensure that the refrigeration cir-
cuit is not damaged. Never allow the unit to be tilted more than
45°, as this will damage the appliance. Handle the unit around
its sides and base. Never li the unit by holding the edges of the
top surface.
INSTALL LOCATION
When selecting a location for your unit, ensure the floor is a
flat, level surface (indoors) and that the room is well ventilated.
Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, such as an oven,
stove top, boiler, or radiator. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight
as, this may increase electrical consumption. This unit is not de-
signed for use in a garage, or for outdoor installation. Extreme-
ly cold ambient temperatures may also prevent the unit from
operating eectively. This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications, such as individual use in
hotel rooms. in kitchen areas inside shops and oices, or for ca-
tering and other non-retail applications.
When installing the unit, ensure that there is adequate space for
the front door to fully open. Ensure that a minimum of 4 inches
of free space is le at the sides, front and rear. At the top of the
unit, ensure there is a minimum of 8 inches free space. This will
allow cold air to circulate around the refrigerator and improve
the eiciency of the cooling process. Do not place any covering
such as a drape or sheet on the unit. Clean the appliance before
first use.
LEVELING THE UNIT
It’s very important to keep the unit level to prevent unnecessary
movement and vibration. This also helps to ensure that the
door closes properly. If the door does not close securely, this will
prevent eective cooling and possibly damage the refrigerator.
To level the unit, turn the adjustable feet at the front of the re-
frigerator clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the
corner respectively.
Having a second person push carefully against the top of the
refrigerator will relieve some weight o of the leveling legs and
make them easier to adjust. However, ensure that the unit has a
wall to rest against so that it does not tip over and cause dam-
age or injury.
