Location and Installing Your appliance
The appliance should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. It should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded than when empty.
Before you plug the appliance into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
WARNING: Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your appliance before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your appliance.
- Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm wet cloth.
- Place the appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
- Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
- Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
- Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Cabinet Leg Adjustment
