INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
Before Using your Appliance 
•  Remove the exterior and interior packing. 
•  Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. 
This  will  reduce  the  possibility  of  a  malfunction  in  the  cooling  system  from  handling  during 
transportation. 
•  Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. 
•  Install the handle on the door, if it is not already attached. (See page 8.) 
Installation of your Appliance 
•  The appliance is designed for built-in or recessed or free standing installation for indoor use. 
CAUTION: This appliance is not designed for the storage of medicine or other medical products. 
•  Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level 
the unit, adjust the front leveling legs. 
•  For free standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and 4” 
(102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor 
and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side 
and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance 
is never covered or blocked in any way. 
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the appliance near an oven, radiator or other heating 
source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical 
consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 44°F (7°C). For 
best performance, do not install the appliance behind a cabinet door or block the base grille. 
•  Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. 
•  Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.
