INSTALLATION
WARNING
Electrical Informaon
• Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115V, 60Hz., AC
only electric outlet. The power cord of the appliance is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protec-
on against shock hazards (see Figure 3 below). It must be
plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong
receptacle, protected with a 15 amp me delay fuse or circuit
breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with
the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualied electri-
cian. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, refrigerator perfor-
mance may be aected. Operang the refrigerator with in-
sucient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not
covered under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is
high or low, consult your power company for tesng.
• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned o acciden-
tally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.
Before starng the refrigerator, follow these important steps:
Installaon
• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.
• The refrigerator should be located where surrounding tem-
peratures will not drop below 10 degrees F (-12 degrees C)
or exceed 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). The Freeze Control
Feature is designed to automacally maintain the selected in-
terior refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulaon. Leave a
three (3) inch (75 millimeter) space on all sides of the refrig-
erator for adequate circulaon.
NOTE: The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside.
Temperatures as much as 30 degrees F warmer than room tem-
perature can be expected. For this reason, it is parcularly impor-
tant in hoer climates to allow enough space for air circulaon
around your refrigerator.
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all boom corners resng rmly on
a solid oor. The oor must be strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT for your refrig-
erator to be level in order to funcon properly. If the refrigera-
tor is not leveled during installaon, the door may be misaligned
and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems.
To Level Unit (see Figure 4 below)
Aer discarding crang screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s
level to level the refrigerator from front-to-back. Adjust the plas-
c leveling feet in front, 1/2 bubble higher, so that the door closes
easily when le halfway open.

WARNING
Other Precauons
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug rmly and pull straight out from the re-
ceptacle.
• Turning the control to OFF turns o the compressor, but does
not disconnect power to other electrical components.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before
cleaning and before replacing a light bulb.
