• Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential
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.

LOCATION
• Two people should work together to move the refrigerator. Place it on
a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded that
is not in direct sunlight or close to sources of heat. Do not use near
water, such as in a wet basement or near a sink.
• Remove interior and exterior packaging. Wipe the outside with a
soft, dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm wet cloth.
• Before connecting the refrigerator to a power source, let it stand
upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility
of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• This refrigerator is 59.5 cm (23.4 inches) wide by 151.2 cm (59.5
inches) high by 73.3 cm (28.9 inches) deep.
• Allow 5 cm (2 inches) of space between the back, sides and top of
the refrigerator and all adjacent walls.
• This refrigerator is intended for free-standing installation only and
is not intended to be built into a cabinet or counter. Building in this
refrigerator can cause it to malfunction.
IMPORTANT
