GETTING STARTED

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This is accomplished by
ensuring the plug is inserted into a properly grounded outlet.
This way, in the event of an electrical short circuit, the risk of
electric shock is reduced by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord hav-
ing a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire
extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug, and a
three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

BEFORE DISCARDING YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR:
• Remove the door(s), leave the shelves in place (to help
prevent children from crawling in) and have it removed
from your premises by a qualified technician.
• Check with your retailer to find out if they'll take away
and responsibly dispose of or recycle your old refriger-
ator.
• See www.epa.gov/rad for more information on Respon-
sible Appliance Disposal.
SAFETY NOTICES
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications such as:
• Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments.
• Individual use in hotel rooms and other residential type
environments.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

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 5 inches of
free space is left at both sides and in the rear, and 5 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.
LEVELING THE UNIT
It's very important to keep the unit level, so that the door will
close properly. Keeping the unit tilted can cause a problem that
will prevent effective cooling. To level the unit, turn the two ad-
justable feet at the front of the refrigerator clockwise or counter-
clockwise 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 covering
around the exterior. Remove completely before use.
POWER SUPPLY
• Be sure to plug in to 110V-120V (60Hz) grounded outlet.
• You must make sure all three prongs are in a 3-pronged
outlet (see note below).
• You may use extension cords only if they marked electri-
cal rating of the cord is at least as great as the rating of
this appliance, and is properly grounded as well.
• If using an extension cord, ensure that any excess does
not become a trip hazard.
Notes: When plugging in to wall, it should have a dedicated out-
let. (see Fig1. ). If you only have a two-prong outlet, adapters
are available but must be used properly (see Fig.2 ).
