INSTALLATION
TRANSPORT
Use two or more people to move the refrigerator.
VENTILATION SPACE
In order for the refrigerator to function efficiently, it MUST be placed in an adequately ventilated
space to allow for heat dissipation. It is important to allow at least 4 inches (100 mm) of space
behind and on each side, and 8 inches (200 mm) of space above the unit.
The door requires approximately 21" (533 mm) of space in front of the refrigerator to open. To fully
utilize the refrigerator, space should be allowed for the door to open fully to 160º.
STABLE SURFACE
The refrigerator must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Adjust the refrigerator’s front leveling legs
to assure quiet operation and prevent rattling when the compressor activates.
IMPORTANT:
Never place the unit on soft materials such as foam, plastic or thick textured carpeting.
STOP!
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!
Do not plug the refrigerator into a power outlet
until it has been resting in its upright position
for at least six (6) hours.
If the refrigerator has been laid on its side, placed upside down
or tilted more than 45° during moving or transport, it is extremely
important to allow the refrigerant and compressor oil to separate
and settle so the compressor operates properly. Failure to do
so will cause severe mechanical problems with the unit’s motor/
compressor, and
will void the warranty
