wire and plug. When grounded, the risk of electric shock is
reduced by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if there is any doubt that the appliance or outlet is not properly
grounded.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Moving the appliance
This unit is equipped with rear rollers to assist with moving.
However please note that these rollers are not on rotating cas-
tors and only allow forward and backward movement.
CAUTION: To avoid serious injury, ensure that any relocation of
the unit is always performed by two people. Use caution when
moving the unit to ensure that the refrigeration circuit is not
damaged. Never allow the unit to be tilted more than 45°, as
this will damage the appliance. Handle the unit around its sides
and base. Never lift the unit by holding the edges of the top sur-
face. If the unit has been tilted, it should be given adequate
time to settle in its upright position before use.
Unpacking the appliance
Remove all packaging materials and adhesives carefully. En-
sure all packaging materials are removed before powering on
the unit. Ensure that a second person assists with any moving
of the appliance. Clean the appliance before first use.

Install Location
When selecting a location for your unit, ensure the floor is a
flat, level surface (indoors) and that the room is well ventilated,
maintaining a temperature between +16°C (60.8°F) and +38°C
(100.4°F). Avoid locating your unit near a heat source such as
an oven, stove top, boiler, or radiator. Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight, as this may increase electrical consumption. This unit
is not designed for use in a garage, or outdoor installation. Ex-
tremely cold ambient temperatures may also prevent the unit
from operating effectively. This appliance is intended to be
used in household and similar applications, such as individual
use in hotel rooms. in kitchen areas inside shops and offices, or
for catering and other non-retail applications.
Ensure Adequate Space for Doors and Ventilation
When installing the unit, ensure that there is adequate space
for ventilation. There should be a minimum of 30cm of free
space on the sides of the unit and 50mm of space behind the
unit. At the top of the unit, ensure there is a minimum of
200mm free space. This will allow cold air to circulate through
the refrigerator and improve the efficiency of the cooling
process. Do not place any coverings (such as a drape or sheet)
on the unit.
In addition to the ventilation space mentioned above, there
must also be adequate space for the doors and drawers to fully
open. Make sure also that the unit is positioned so that open
doors or drawers are in plain sight to prevent any accidental
collisions with objects or people.
Leveling the Unit
It's very important to keep the unit level to prevent unnecessary
movement and vibration. This also helps to ensure that the door
closes properly. If the door does not close securely, this will
prevent effective cooling and possibly damage the refrigerator.
To level the unit, turn the adjustable feet at the front of the re-
frigerator clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the
corner respectively.
Having a second person push carefully against the top of the
refrigerator will relieve some weight off of the leveling legs and
make them easier to adjust. However, ensure that the unit has a
wall to rest against so that it does not tip over and cause dam-
age or injury.
