Installing Your Refrigerator  
Un p a ck in g Yo u r Re frig e ra to r  
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base, all  
adhesive tape holding, refrigerator accessories inside and outside, and  
the plastic stoppers holding the shelves. Slide out and remove plastic or  
foam guard used to secure the compressor from shipping damage due  
to vibration and shock.  
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials  
before powering on the refrigerator.  
Ad ju stin g Yo u r Re frig e ra to r  
Le ve lin g Yo u r Re frig e ra to r:  
Your refrigerator has two leveling legs, which are located in the front  
comers of your refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator in  
its final position, you can level your refrigerator.  
Levering legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your  
refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your  
refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling  
legs are raised.  
Pro p e r Air Circu la tio n  
To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was  
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air  
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.  
The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:  
Sides……………3/ 4 "(19mm)  
Top....................2" (50mm)  
Back..................2" (50mm)

Ele ctrica l Re q u ire m e n t  
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)  
with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.  
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in  
order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice  
since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may  
result in shock hazard.  
Use o f Ex te n sio n Co rd s  
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards  
under certain conditions. 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 outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension  
cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the  
appliance.  
In sta ll Lim ita tio n s  
• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or  
heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in  
temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.  
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface  
away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard  
heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be  
corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of  
the refrigerator.

• When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or  
store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise  
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of odors  
and tastes.  
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.  
• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to  
maximize shelf life.  
• Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in a crisper set for low  
humidity. If you do not have humidity controlled crisper place the items  
in sealed plastic bags before storing in the crisper.  
Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers and  
stored in crisper with low humidity setting.

refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning  
may result in death or injury.  
Ca u tio n : Before using cleaning products, always read and  
follow manufacturers instructions and warnings to  
avoid personal injury or product damage.  
Ge n e ra l:  
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of  
baking soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or  
soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to  
wipe down your refrigerator.
