To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area
briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can
also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of
liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers.

CAUTION:

Avoid placing the unit near heat

sources, direct sunlight or moisture.

INSTALLATION

• To minimize noise and vibration, the refrigerator

MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.

• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not

recommended.

• Never install the refrigerator on a platform or weakly

supported structure.

1. To avoid vibration, the unit must be level. If required,

adjust the leveling screws to compensate for
unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly
higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling
screws can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet
slightly. Turn the leveling screws clockwise (         ) to
raise the unit, counterclockwise (         ) to lower it.

2. Install this appliance in an area where the

temperature is between 13°C and 43°C. If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or high,
cooling ability may be adversely affected.

3. Too small a distance

from adjacent items
may result in lowered
freezing capability and
increased electricity
consumption charges.
Allow at least 24 in.
(61 cm) in front of the
refrigerator to open the
doors.

NEXT

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all

dust accumulated during shipping.

2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,

shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during
shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours

before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air in
the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.
