Installation Instructions
• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat producing appliances, such as cooktops, ovens, and
dishwashers.
• There should be appropriate spacing around the refrigerator, to save energy and maintain good
ventilation.
• There should be at least 4" (100mm) of space from its sides to the wall, 2" (50mm) from the back
to the wall, and 12" (300mm) from the top. (See figure below)
• The power plug must be easily accessible when the refrigerator is installed.
• The power plug should be inserted into a special socket to avoid the unexpected power
outage. Do not use extension cord or porous adapter.
• To understand the requirement for power supply please refer to the nameplate in left side of
refrigerator.
• The refrigerator must be grounded.
The ground should be stable. Select a sturdy and flat area on the ground (floor), rotate
the adjustable feet to keep the refrigerator stable. Unbalanced placement can cause
vibration and noise. When placing carpets, grass mats, and polyvinyl chloride flooring
materials, place a sturdy pad under the refrigerator to prevent discoloration of the carpet
