Installation
The refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The refrigerator
should also be placed in a locaon that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will
weigh substanally more when fully loaded than when empty. Before you plug the refrigerator into a power
supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to sele.
Unpacking the Refrigerator
Warning: Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can
result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping
tape and glue from your refrigerator before use. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the
surface of your refrigerator.
!
Warning: Do not remove any safety, warning, or product informaon labels from your refrigerator.
!
Warning: DO NOT install the refrigerator behind a closed cabinet door.
!
This refrigerator has been designed for freestanding or built-in installaon. In each case, there must be adequate
venlaon and access for service.
Freestanding Installaon:
A freestanding installaon will allow you to install the refrigerator in almost any place you desire. You must
follow the stated instrucons for electrical requirements and leveling the refrigerator.
Built-in Installaon:
A built-in installaon will allow you to install the refrigerator under a counter as long as the required clearance
space around the refrigerator is provided. It is necessary to allow adequate venlaon space around the unit,
including at the back of the unit.
The following addional items must be observed:
1. Place the refrigerator in front of the installaon locaon. Adjust the feet and place the unit at on the oor or
on a plaorm depending on your installaon requirements.
2. If the electrical outlet for the refrigerator is behind the cabinet, plug in the refrigerator.
3. Push the refrigerator into posion.

Clearance Requirements
When installing the refrigerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown.
To ensure proper service access and venlaon, allow at least 1-2” of clearance at the back, 1/4” at the top, and
1/4” at the sides. If the door side is against a wall, allow at least 2 1/16” of clearance. The installaon should allow
the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary.

Note: The refrigerator should be installed on a rm and level surface that will be able to support
the enre weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important for the refrigerator to be level in order to
work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the refrigerator by rotang the feet. See the
“Leveling the Refrigerator” secon.
Note: A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with
Naonal Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
Notes:
• To ensure proper service access and venlaon, allow between 1 - 2 inches of clearance at
the back as shown in the diagram.
• The installaon should allow the unit to be pulled forward for servicing, if necessary.
• A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with
Naonal Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD!
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Never remove the grounding prong from the plug.
• Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong.
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instrucons can result in re, electrical shock, or death.
Electrical Requirements
Recommended Grounding Method
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal locaon, it is important to make sure you have the proper
electrical connecon:
• A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the Naonal Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator, be provided. Use receptacles that
cannot be turned o by a switch or pull chain.
• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 Amps.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a power supply cord that has a
3-pronged grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mang 3-pronged
wall socket, and grounded in accordance with the Naonal Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a
mang wall socket is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded,
3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualied electrician.
Leveling the Refrigerator
The refrigerator should be installed on a rm and level surface that will
be able to support the enre weight of a fully loaded unit. It is important
for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be
raised or lowered by rotang the plasc sheaths around each of the feet
on the boom of the machine. If you nd that the surface is not level,
rotate the feet unl the refrigerator becomes level. You may need to
make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter’s
level to check the machine. Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower
that side of the refrigerator. Turn the leveling feet to the le to raise that
side of the refrigerator.
Important: Once you are ready to install the unit in a cabinet or directly on the oor, you must
adjust the feet to level the refrigerator.
