at least 5” (127 mm) clearance around the unit to ensure proper ventilation. Avoid locations in direct
sunlight, moist or extreme cold areas.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.

the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent door and mold growth, leave the door
open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
