working environments;
• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and
other residential type environments;
• Bed and breakfast type environments;

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding
wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage
and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not connect your appliance to extension
cords or together with another appliance in the
same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord. Do not
use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs)
adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
• Two people should be used when moving the
appliance.
• Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to
installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance
with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a
lukewarm wet cloth.
• Place the appliance on a floor that is strong
enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or
near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater,
as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the appliance to perform improperly.
• Do not use the appliance near water, for
example in a wet basement or near a sink.
• This appliance is intended for household use
only. It is not designed for outside installation,
including anywhere that is not temperature
controlled such as garages, porches, vehicles,
etc.
• Before connecting the appliance to a power
source, let it stand upright for approximately
6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system.
• This appliance is 23.8 inches (60.5 cm) wide,
34.9 inches (88.7 cm) high at maximum
leg height and 25.4 inches (64.5 cm) deep
including the handle.
FRONT VENT
This appliance is front breathing. Do not block the
front air vent as this will result in high operating
temperatures, higher energy usage and possible
system overheating and failure.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the
appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level. It is important that the
appliance is level to minimize noise and vibration.
To level the appliance:
1. Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as
it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the
bottom of the cabinet.
2. Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until the
appliance is level.
HANDLE INSTALLATION
The appliance ships with the handle inside the
cabinet to protect it from damage. It must be
installed by the end user.
1. Position the handle onto the column on the door.
2. Tighten the screws in the side of the handle until
they are snug.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARING THE ENCLOSURE
Gloves and safety goggles should be worn during installation.
It is not recommended to install the appliance into a corner or directly beside a wall. The door will need to
be opened more than 90° to allow full extension of the shelves. If it is necessary to place next to a wall or
in a corner, leave at least 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of space between the wall and the appliance to allow for
the door opening.
The cabinet opening must be at least 24 inches (61 cm) wide by 35 inches (88.9 cm) high by 25 inches
(63.5 cm) deep.
Note: The listed depth requirement is assuming that the electrical outlet is located in the adjacent cabinetry
or flush mounted in the rear wall, not surface mounted inside the enclosure.
If the electrical outlet is located inside adjacent cabinetry, cut a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) diameter hole to admit
the power cord. If the cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or grommet.

defrosting. Defrost water from the appliance is
channeled into a drip tray located above the
compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor
causes the defrost water to evaporate.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few
hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance if you minimize the number of times the
door is opened. If the power is going to be off for
a longer period of time, take the proper steps to
protect your contents.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting
to restart the appliance if operation has been
interrupted.
MOVING
• Make sure the appliance is empty.
• Secure the shelves with tape.
• Secure the door with tape.
• Turn the adjustable foot up to the base to avoid
damage.
• Protect the outside of the appliance with a
blanket or similar item.
• Be sure the appliance stays in the upright
position during transportation.
