English Installing Your Refrigerator Unpacking Your Refrigerator 1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside. 2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before connecting power to your refrigerator. Leveling Your Refrigerator: • Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you should level your refrigerator for horizontal standing. • Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are raised. Proper Air Circulation • To assure your refrigerator 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 refrigerator: Sides 3/4" (19mm) Top 1" (25mm) Back 1" (25mm) Electrical Requirement • Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator. • Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard. Use of Extension Cords • Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards. 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. 5
