First-Time Operating Instructions

Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are removed from the unit. Be sure to keep 

track of all included parts and pieces before discarding the packaging materials. It is advised that you 

keep the original box and packaging materials in case you ever need to move or ship the appliance in 

the future. 

Let the unit stand for at least 24 hours before you use it; this allows the cooling components time to 

settle from transit. The instruction manual should be read before use.
