INSTALLATION

UNPACKING AND CLEANING

Remove all packaging and securing tapes from the appliance.

To avoid injury and causing damage to the appliance, be extremely

cautious when using sharp or pointed tools to complete this task.

Keep children away from the packaging material - DANGER OF SUF-

FOCATION! Wash the inside and outside of the appliance with luke

warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Abrasive or corrosive

cleaning agents, steel wool, scouring sponges, or chemical cleaning

agents should not be used under any circumstances. A sponge, soft

brush or towel is recommended. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse and

dry. You may want to leave the doors open allowing the compart-

ments to ventilate for 20-30 minutes to get rid of residual odors.

Check with your local Environmental Agency for recommendations

on recycling packaging materials in your area.

POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE

The area in which the fridge is to be installed must be relatively cool,

dry, and suitably ventilated. The area must be protected against any

inclement weather (rain, snow) and excessive surface dust. To ensure

proper function, the appliance must be placed on a at, rm, and

stable surface resting level on all four supports. The oor must be

strong enough to support a fully loaded cabinet. Use wood or metal

shims to level the fridge if necessary.

Do not place the fridge close to heat sources (heater, stove, boiler,

chimney, etc.), and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. This

appliance uses the exterior walls to transfer heat from the inside of

the cabinet. Ensure that there is adequate space between the fridge

and neighboring walls or large objects. A minimum spacing of 3

inches (7.5 cm) is highly recommended. This will provide sucient

airow around the appliance resulting in more ecient operation and

longer appliance lifetime. Always keep the air vent openings of the

compressor housing cover free from dust and obstructions.
