Installation
Location
•
Place appliance on a level surface that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully
loaded
•
Ensure at least 4“ (10 cm) of space between the top, back, and sides of the unit to allow proper
air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser
•
If the appliance is installed into an island, ensure proper clearance and ventilation, and do not
cover the unit with a door; sample island installation shown in Figure 3
Figure 2 Sample Island Setup
•
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight or other sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.)
•
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating, and heat sources may reduce performance and
increase electrical consumption
•
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also reduce performance
•
Avoid locating the unit in areas of excessive moisture
Getting Started
•
Keep the refrigerator upright when moving it; never tilt the appliance beyond 45° or place the
unit in an upside-down position
•
Allow the unit to stand upright for 4 hours before plugging it in to allow the cooling system to
stabilize, which will reduce the possibility of a malfunction due to handling
•
If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait
24 hours before plugging it in
•
Clean the unit thoroughly before putting it into use; wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth, and
the interior with a clean moist cloth
•
Ensure the door can open completely - approximately 160° of travel
