INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam
base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator acces-
sories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or print-
ed materials before powering on the refrigerator.
CAUTION: Risk of Fire or Explosion due to puncture of refrig-
erant tubing. Flammable refrigerant used. Handle with care
when moving refrigerator to avoid either damaging the refrig-
erant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
LOCATION
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the floor is a flat,
level surface and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your
unit near a heat source, such as an oven, stove top, boiler, or ra-
diator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the electrical
consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also prevent the unit
from operating effectively. This unit is not designed for use in a
garage or outdoor installation. Do not place any covering such
as a drape or sheet on the unit.
When installing the unit, ensure that a minimum of 4 inches of
free space is left at both sides and in the rear, and 4 inches of
space at the top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate
around the refrigerator and improve the efficiency of the cool-
ing process.
Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly in-
sulated or heated, e.g. garage, etc. Your refrigerator was not
designed to operate in temperature settings below 12 degrees
Celsius.
LEVELING THE UNIT
It's very important to keep the unit level, so that the door will
close properly and prevent problem that will cause effective
cooling to fail. To level the unit, turn the two adjustable feet at
the front base of the refrigerator clockwise or counterclockwise
to respectively raise or lower the corner.
Tip: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator will
take some weight off the leveling leg. This makes it easier to ad-
just the leveling leg.
CLEANING BEFORE USE
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of baking
soda (bicarbonate). Then rinse with warm water using a damp
sponge or cloth. Wash the shelves and bins in warm soapy water
and dry completely before putting back in the unit.
Note: This unit is shipped with a protective plastic-wrap
around the exterior. Remove completely before use.

ed outlet.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
