Proper Air Circulation
To ensurethat your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was
designed for, you should install it ina location where there is proper air
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator :
Sides................... 3/4 inches (19mm)
Top...................... 2 inches (50mm)
Back.................. 2 inches (50mm)
Electrical Requirements
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115volts, 15amps) with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
WARNING: Avoid the use of three prong adapters. NEVERcut oF the third
grounding prong inorder to accommodate a two prong outlet. Cutting oF the
grounding prong isa dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding
for the refrigerator and may result in serious injury from electrical shock.
Installation
Your refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation ont4 It should not be
recessedor built-in. Place the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded. When movingthe refrigerator, never tilt it by more than a 45 degrees angle. This
could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
tf the refrigerator has been tilted more than 45 degrees, let it stand inan upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This
will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system.
Plugthe refrigerator into an exclusive,properly installed grounded wall outlet.
Do not plug another appliance into the same outlet as the refrigeraton
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from
the power cord. See the WARNING in Electrical Requirementson the previous
page. Any questionsconcerning power and/or grounding should be directed
