Appliance Placement
Leave a one (1) inch space on all sides and the back of the
cabinet for ease of installation, proper air circulation and electrical
connections. DO NOT block the front grill on the lower front
of your appliance. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the
proper operation of your appliance. Choose a place that is near
a grounded electrical outlet. For the most efficient operation,
the appliance should be located where surrounding temperatures
will not drop below 40ºF (5ºC) or exceed 110ºF (43ºC). Additional
compressor heaters are not recommended.
Insulation
The insulated space of this cabinet is sealed to maintain peak
efficiency. Holes drilled in the cabinet may destroy that seal and
damage electrical wiring located in the insulated space.
DAMANGED ELECTRICAL WIRING OR WET INSULATION
CAUSED BY DRILLING WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
Thermostat Setting
The appliance is shipped from the factory
with the thermostat set at about the mid-
point of the operating range. Adjustments
colder or warmer can be made after the
appliance has been running for at least
8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for
temperature stabilization before re-
adjusting the thermostat.
