INSTALLATION Installation site To operate this unit properly and to obtain maximum performance, install the unit in a location with the following conditions: 1. A location not subjected to direct sunlight Installation in a location subjected to direct sunlight may lead to inadequate cooling. 2. A location with adequate ventilation Leave at least 10 cm around the unit for ventilation. Poor ventilation will result in a reduction of the refrigeration capacity. 3. A location away from heat generating sources Avoid installing the unit near heat-emitting appliances such as gas ranges or stoves. Heat can cause inefficient refrigeration. 4. A location with a sturdy and level floor WARNING Install the unit on a sturdy floor. If the floor is not strong enough or the installation site is not adequate, this may result in injury from the unit falling or tipping over. Select a level and sturdy floor for installation. This precaution will prevent the unit from tipping. Improper installation may result in water spillage or injury from the unit tipping over. 5. A location where objects will not fall on the unit CAUTION Never install the unit in a place where the possibility exists that an object may fall on it. There are cooling circuits and electric components in the upper part of this unit. Current leakage or electric shock may be caused if an object falls on it. 6. A location without flammable or corrosive gas WARNING Never install the unit in a flammable or volatile location. This may cause explosion or fire. Never install the unit where acid or corrosive gases are present as current leakage or electric shock may result due to corrosion. 7. A location not prone to high humidity WARNING Do not use the unit outdoors. Current leakage or electric shock may result if the unit is exposed to rain water. Never install the unit in a humid place or a place where it is likely to be splashed by water. Deterioration of the insulation may result which could cause current leakage or electric shock. CAUTION The unit starts defrosting frequently due to excessive frost on the evaporator if it is installed in high temperature and high humidity location. The chamber temperature goes up to approximately 10oC temporarily during defrosting. 11
