2. INSTALLTION
2.1 Location
When selecting a position for your unit, please make sure the floor is flat and firm. The room
should be well ventilated with an ambient room temperature between 61°F and 100°F.
Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct
sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption. Extreme cold temperatures may cause
the unit not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in garage or outdoor
installation. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
Please keep a clearance of 8 inches on both sides, 6 inches in the rear and 8 inches above the
unit. This allows for proper air circulation around the refrigerator and improves the unit’s
cooling efficiency. The door can be opened to the right or the left, depending on what better
suits the location. Please ensure there is adequate space for the door to fully open.
2.2 Reversing the Door Swing
Tools Required: Phillips style screwdriver / Flat blade screwdriver / Hexagonal spanner
We recommend that 2 people handle the unit for door reversal.
Be sure the unit is unplugged and empty.
Tilt the unit backwards and rest the unit on something solid so that it will not slip. Do
not lay the unit flat on its back as this may damage the coolant system.
Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position.
All parts removed must be saved for reinstallation of the door.
1) Remove the plastic covering from the top door hinge.
2) Unscrew the three screws from the bottom bracket.
3) Remove the foot from opposite side.
4) Place to one side.
