P a g e
your appliance be provided. Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull
chain. Connect this appliance to a 3 prong power supply socket outlet (which has a
ground terminal). If you only have a two prong outlet have it replaced by a qualified
technician with an outlet that meets the local codes. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD. Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate.
The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to
current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage
tolerance from ‐15 to 10%.
NEVER USE INDOOR RATED APPLIANCES OUTDOORS.
Energy Saving Tips
The more airflow you can provide around an appliance, the less energy it will
use.
If your appliance needs defrosting, keep ice build‐up to less than 1/2 inch.
Keep doors or drawers open a minimum of time, and shut securely.
Leveling Your Appliance
1. Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing materials. In most models
these legs are already mounted into the underside of the appliance.
2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the appliance. The back of the
appliance rests on two fixed supports. (Built‐in models also have rear level legs that can
provide more precise leveling).
3. Adjust the front legs just enough to lift the cabinet up off of the floor.
4. Place a leveling tool on top of the appliance: first side to side, then front to back. Turn leg
counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg clockwise to lower a corner.
5. Repeat Step 4 until appliance is level.
6. After appliance is fully loaded, recheck with level as in Step 4.
7. If your appliance is equipped with casters, the two front casters have brakes to prevent
rolling. Keep brakes locked, and unlock for moving only.
Appliance Use
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper airflow in the appliance. Do
not block any air vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented, and temperature
and moisture problems may occur. Always position contents to allow some airflow between
shelves or baskets.
Allow the appliance to cool at least 6 to 8 hours before adding contents. Allow 24 hours for
temperature to stabilize.
NOTE: When the appliance is first started, the compressor will run constantly until the
appliance is cold, It may take up to 6 or 8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature
and the number of times the appliance door is opened. After the appliance is cooled, the
compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep the appliance at the proper temperature.
The outside of your appliance may feel warm. This is normal. The appliance’s design and main
function is to remove heat from items and air space inside the appliance. The heat is
