Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
Remove Interior Packaging
Your appliance has been packed for shipment with all parts
that could be damaged by movement securely fastened.
Remove internal packing materials and any tape holding in-
ternal components in place. The owners manual is shipped
inside the product in a plastic bag along with the warranty
registration card, and other accessory items.

Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly
inspected before leaving our plant. Responsibility for its
safe delivery was assumed by the retailer upon acceptance
of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in
transit must be made to the retailer.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE
MANUFACTURER - FILE THE CLAIM WITH THE
RETAILER.
If the appliance was shipped, handled, or stored in other
than an upright position for any period of time, allow the ap-
pliance to sit upright for a period of at least 24 hours before
plugging in. This will assure oil returns to the compressor.
Plugging the appliance in immediately may cause damage
to internal parts.

Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in ac-
cordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable
local codes and ordinances (see gure below). If the circuit
does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the respon-
sibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper
power supply. The third ground prong should not, under
any circumstances, be cut or removed.
NOTE
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-
sance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down.
GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equip-
ment that must run unattended for long periods of time, un-
less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.
ELECTRICAL
Do not remove

SIDE-BY-SIDE AND STACKING INSTALLATIONS
Side-by-Side Installation
Other Site Requirements
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded elec-
trical receptacles placed according to each unit's electrical
specications requirements.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the total of the
widths listed under Cutout Dimensions in each unit's Instal-
lation Guide. Each door can be opened individually (one at
a time) without interference.
Figure 10
However, to ensure unobstructed door swing (opening both
doors at the same time), 1/4" (6.4 mm) of space needs to
be maintained between the units.
Hinge-by-Hinge Installation (Mullion)
When installing two units hinge-by-hinge, 13/16" (22 mm)
is required for integrated models. Additional space may be
needed for any knobs, pulls or handles installed.
Stainless steel models which include the standard stainless
handle will require 4-9/16" (116 mm) to allow both doors to
open to 90° at the same time.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE
Background
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as
ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stain-
less steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained prop-
erly.
amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that
surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may
result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base
metal.
Care & Cleaning
Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to
greatly extend the life of your product by removing contami-
nants. This is especially important in coastal areas which
can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as
It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thor-
oughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets,
bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid
could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contami-
nates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing
signs of corrosion should be replaced.
Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation
location, environmental, and usage conditions.
Choosing a Cleaning Product
The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that
of the consumer, and there are many products from which
to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the
degree of contamination, some products are better than
others.
cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the sur-
faces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water
and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rub-
bing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of
the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.
Although some products are called "stainless steel clean-
ers," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the
and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull,
tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.
After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned,
a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the
Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored
in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.
Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used
in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner
manufacturer.
