CABINET LOCATION: An air space of at least 2” must be maintained on all sides of the refrigerators. Do
not install this refrigerator in a warm unventilated room that exceeds 80oF; do not place refrigerator in
direct sunlight; do not place refrigerator under or near heat range or heating vent.
CABINET LEVELLING: The refrigerator has to be completely leveled side to side and front to back or
slightly tilted front to back but never tilted forward. Once the refrigerator is placed in its final location,
use a carpenter level to level the refrigerator. Proper leveling of the refrigerator is important for the
door closing.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This refrigerator MUST be installed on a dedicated grounded circuit protected with a 15 Amp circuit breaker
or a 15 Amp time delay fuse. Do not remove ground prong. If the cord or plug is damaged, replace with the
same type. Refrigeration and electrical work must be performed by a qualified technician. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
• DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
• DO NOT CUT, REMOVE OR BYPASS THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG
• DO NOT PLUG INTO AN OUTLET CONTROLLED BY A WALL SWITCH
• ENSURE POWER CORD IS NOT CUT OR DAMAGED FROM PINCHING, KNOTTING, OR MISHANDLING
NOTICE:
Failure to follow these instructions may void the warranty and/or cause loss of product.
POWER REQUIREMENTS: The refrigerator requires a 15 Amp dedicated and properly grounded
115V circuit with a NEMA 5-15P receptacle. Wiring should be sized according to the amperage
rating stated on the serial plate. Failure to use a dedicated circuit may cause the circuit breaker
to trip off and/or cause voltage drops. As a result, power to the refrigerator may be inter-
rupted and freezing performance can be adversely affected which may cause equipment
damage and/or product loss.
Voltage supply to the refrigerator must not vary more than ±10% of the nominal voltage, or performance may
be affected. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from excessive voltage variations.
NEMA 5-15P
Metallic Clip Shelf
The clips can be removed at any time if a new position is chosen for the shelf or basket. To remove, grab
the clip with your thumb and index finger, then push up the slanted surface until the clip is free. A slight
hit upwards to the slanted surface is usually an easy way to remove the clip. Once the clips are in place,
put the shelf on top. Once the shelves are securely in place, baskets (if equipped) may be positioned on
the shelves.
The refrigerator is supplied with shelves and metallic clips. The refrigerator has slotted pilasters to
position the shelves according to the customer’s needs.
