Installation The refrigerator should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The refrigerator should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially 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 settle.
Clearance Requirements Notes: • To ensure proper service access and ventilation, allow between 1 - 2 inches of clearance at the back as shown in the diagram. • The installation 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 National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. When installing the refrigerator under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown.
Electrical Requirements 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 instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death.
Leveling the Refrigerator The refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level surface that will be able to support the entire 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 rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the refrigerator becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.

Ensure that the metal guide posts are attached to the back of the shelf. 3. While lifting the right side of the shelf up 45°, rest the left metal guide post on the shelf track. 4. Slowly push the shelf back until the right metal guide post reaches the vertical indentation in the cabinet. 5. Gently set the shelf down on the track.
