Installation Instructions

BEFORE STARTING

• To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg, located under
the refrigerator.
• Before connecting this appliance to electrical power supply, leave it to stand for approximately 24 hours, which will
reduce the possibility of malfunction in the cooling system due to transport handling.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere that is not temperature controlled
(including garages, porches, carports, etc.).
• If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you
attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator-freezer will not start.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as
soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is suffi ciently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is,
ambient temperatures etc.).
• Before loading the appliance with packages of hot food, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so defrost the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 1/4 inch / 3-5
mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore effi ciency,
replace the gasket.
• Always follow instructions stated in this manual.
Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a luke-
warm, wet cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight or moisture. Let air
circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator
LOCATION
1. Select a place with a strong, level fl oor.
2. Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight could damage the unit. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electrici-
ty consumption.
4. Avoid moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator, and your
refrigerator will have to be defrosted more frequently.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg, located under the
refrigerator.
