Use of an Extension Cord
Proper Air Circulation
• Your refrigerator has either castors or two leveling legs which are
located in the front corners of your refrigerator. If it has adjustable
legs, after properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you
can level your refrigerator.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise
your refrigerator, or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your
refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling
legs are extended.
• To ensure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper
air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the freezer
Sides……………..4"
Back……………...4"
Top………………..35" (to allow the top lid to open)
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)
with proper grounding to power the freezer.
• Avoid the use of 3-prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding
prong in order to accommodate a 2-prong outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and
may result in shock 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-prong grounding
plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept this plug. The marked rating
of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
