ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet. 115 Volts, 15 Amps, 3 Prong (Grounded) power outlet with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to
accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding
for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS- POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. DO NOT USE EXTENSION
CORD LONGER THAN 12 FT.
INSTALLATION GUIDE
INSTALLATION LIMITATIONS
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away from direct sunlight or heat
source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be
corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the corrugated base and all adhesive tape holding the
refrigerator accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the
refrigerator.
3. If your refrigerator comes with smooth or stainless steel doors, please remove the clear film before
turning it on for the first time. When removing the film, do not pull the film straight down as this could
result in misaligned doors.
4. It is normal for the freezer door to be positioned slightly higher than the top of the cabinet when the
refrigerator is first installed. This positioning is done at the factory to ensure a proper gasket seal
once the door is weighted with food items.
