ENGLISH

Unpacking the Refrigerator

WARNING

•

Use two or more people to move and install the

refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back

injury or other injury.

•

The refrigerator is heavy. Protect the oor when

moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service.

Always pull the refrigerator straight out when

moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the refrigerator

when trying to move it, as oor damage could

occur.

•

Keep ammable materials and vapors, such as

gasoline, away from the refrigerator. Failure to

do so can result in re, explosion, or death.

NOTE

•

Remove tape and any temporary labels from your

refrigerator before using. Do not remove any

warning labels, the model and serial number label,

or the Tech Sheet that is located under the front of

the refrigerator.

•

To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area

briskly with your thumb. Tape or glue residue can

also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount

of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your

ngers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

•

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,

ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to remove

tape or glue. These products can damage the

surface of your refrigerator.

•

Reinstall or adjust shelves as needed. Refrigerator

shelves are installed in the shipping position.

Reinstall shelves according to your individual

storage needs.

Choosing the Proper Location

Electricity

Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60 Hz,

AC, 15 Amps minimum.

WARNING

•

Do not overload house wiring and cause a re

hazard by plugging in multiple appliances in the

same outlet with the refrigerator.

•

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install

the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.

Flooring

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be

installed and leveled on a solidly constructed floor. If

required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for

the unevenness of the floor.

NOTE

•

Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform

or weakly supported structure is not recommended.

Ambient Temperature

Install this appliance in an area where the temperature

is between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C).

If the temperature around the appliance is too low or

high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

•

Place your appliance where it is easy to use.

•

Avoid placing the unit near heat sources, direct

sunlight or moisture.

•

To ensure proper air circulation around the

refrigerator, allow for space at both sides and at the

top. Allow for 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance from the

rear wall of the enclosure.

•

To avoid excessive vibration, the appliance must be

leveled.

•

Don’t install the appliance in a location where the

temperature falls below 41°F (5°C). Doing so may

affect product performance.

2″ (5 cm)

14 INSTALLATION

Dimensions and Clearances

•

Check the dimensions of the appliance and the

installation path to ensure there is sufcient room to

move the refrigerator through doors or narrow

openings.

•

If an opening is too narrow to t the refrigerator

through, remove the refrigerator doors. See

Removing/Assembling the Doors and Drawers in

this manual.

•

The installation location chosen for the refrigerator

should allow space behind the unit for connections

and airow and space in front to open the doors and

drawers.

•

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may

result in lowered freezing capability and increased

electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 22.6

inches (575 mm) in front of the refrigerator to open

the doors, and at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) between

the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

CustomChill Drawer Disassembly

1

Open the drawer completely.

2

Lift up the drawer and basket assembly slightly

until it clears the rail safety stops and pull it

forward until it stops.

3

Lift the basket and drawer assembly to remove it.

To reassemble the drawer, align it with the rails and

Leveling and Door Alignment

Aligning the doors may not be possible if the floor is

not level, or is of weak or poor construction. The

refrigerator is heavy and should be installed on a rigid

and solid surface.

Wood flooring may cause leveling difficulties if it

flexes excessively.

Leveling

•

If the oor is uneven, level the refrigerator to avoid

noise and vibration.

CAUTION

•

Adjust the front leveling feet so they are lower

than the wheels. The weight of the refrigerator

must rest on the feet, not the wheels, to avoid

risk of movement or tipover.

Using

Screwdriver

To level the refrigerator, use a screwdriver to turn the

leveling feet until they are in firm contact with the floor.

The front of the refrigerator can be slightly higher than

the rear to make shutting the doors easier.

Turning on the Power

•

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord

into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the

refrigerator into the final position.

CAUTION

•

Connect to a rated power outlet.

•

Have a certied electrician check the wall outlet

and wiring for proper grounding.

the power plug.

17OPERATION

ENGLISH

OPERATION

Before Use

Clean the refrigerator.

Clean the refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off all dust that accumulated during shipping.

CAUTION
