4. If the refrigerator has been tilted more than 45°, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source.
This will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system.
5. Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall
outlet (115 volts / 15 amps).
DO NOT
under any circumstances cut
or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord as this
may result in a shock hazard. Any questions concerning power
and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician
or an authorized service center.
6. After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool
down for 2-3 hours before placing food into the refrigerator.
7.
DO NOT
install your refrigerator in any location that is not properly
insulated or heated (e.g. garage, etc.). Your refrigerator is not designed
to operate in temperatures below 13°C / 55°F. Extreme cold ambient
temperatures may cause the refrigerator to perform improperly.
8. Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away
from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters,
cooking appliances, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the coating and heat
sources may increase electrical consumption. Any floor unevenness should
be corrected.
9. Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
Use of an Extension Cord
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-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal
to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
