GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Note: Before plugging in the unit, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a mal-
function in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
LOCATION
DO:
• Select a location with a strong, level floor.
• Allow 5 inches / 12.7 cm of space between the
back of the appliance and any adjacent wall.
• Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight
may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will
cause higher electricity consumption.
