· Allow at least 5cm of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator
to allow proper air ventilation. Insufficient space will result in cooling and
working life issue and voiding warranty.
· Place the refrigerator on a leveled/even floor surface that is strong enough
to support the weight of the refrigerator when it is fully loaded to prevent
vibrations.
· Place the refrigerator on a concrete, tile floor or waterproof floor is
recommended. The fridge will produce defrost water or condensation moisture,
it might cause water damage in some extreme circumstances.
· The front feet can be adjusted to level the appliance properly. Adjust the
two front feet to keep the refrigerator leveled or elevated.
· Situate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of direct
heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may also affect the
acrylic coating and heat sources may cause an increase power consumption.
· This unit is not designed for outside installation. · Avoid situating the
refrigerator in moist OR pest infestation areas. · Plug the refrigerator into
dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not
under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. · After
plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit
to cool down for 4-6 hours before placing food in the refrigerator.
· Do not place heavy items on the top of this appliance.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing in the
refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to work
harder. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil. · Be sure to
wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator. ·
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove
as
many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
