INSTALLATION 7 This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the appliance only as instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the appliance, follow these important first steps. Location • Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. • If possible, place the appliance out of direct sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat sources. • Install the appliance on a floor that is level and strong enough to support a fully loaded appliance. WARNING DO NOT install the appliance where the temperature will drop below 0°F (-18°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures inside the unit. NOTE If your appliance is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space for the handle so the door can be opened wider. Leveling Rest all bottom corners firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded appliance. It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be level in order to function properly. If the appliance is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems. CAUTION The cabinet is heavy. Two people are recommended to level the cabinet. CAUTION Do not block the lower front of your appliance. Sufficient air circulation is essential to operate your appliance properly.
