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 radiator. Avoid direct sunlight,
as it may increase the unit's electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also prevent
the unit from operating effectively. This unit is not de-
signed 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
4 inches of free space is left at both sides and in the
rear, and 2 inch at the top of the unit. This will al-
low cold air to circulate around the refrigerator
and improve the efficiency of the cooling process.
The refrigerating system in this refrigerator is a "Frost Free"
system. This type of system requires no user interven-
tion (i.e. defrosting) other than selecting required cool-
ing temperatures and the usual care and maintenance.
This unit is a FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY, and is
NOT intended to be built-in. In the final installation loca-
tion, the unit's door must be able to open fully and with-
out posing any safety risk.

It is very important to keep the unit level so that the door
will close properly and prevent problems that will cause
effective cooling to fail. To level the unit, turn the adjust-
able legs clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower
the corner.

If the temperature around the appliance is too low or
high, cooling ability may be affected.
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. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The refrigerator must
be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt electrical out-
let. Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not
covered under your warranty. The power cord of the ap-

for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in ac-
cordance with local codes and ordinances. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug. You must make sure all
