IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short drcuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING- Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

1. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
2. 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 receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before using the refrigerator for the first lime, remove all of the packing materials, including the foam base and adhesive tape holding accessories in place.
2. The refrigerator should be located on a firm, flat surface that is strong enough to support the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
3. Choose a location that is not exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, heat sources such as a stove or radiator, or in a moist area. Do not choose a location where the temperature will go below 55°F as this could cause the refrigerator to not function properly.
4. Leave a minimum of 1/2″ between each side of the appliance and the wall. The top and back of the appliance should have a minimum of 11/2″ clearance. This allows for proper air circulation. This appliance is intended to be free-standing and should not be built-in or placed in a recessed area.
5. The refrigerator legs must be adjusted during installation in order to function properly. The leveling legs on the front corners can be adjusted by turning clockwise to raise the appliance, and counter-clockwise to lower it. Be sure to have the appliance slope slightly backward to ensure that the door closes tightly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
