NOTICE TO CUSTOMER

Loss or spoilage of products in your refrigerator/freezer is not covered by warranty. In addition to following recommended installation procedures, you must run the refrigerator/freezer 24 hours prior to usage.

INSTALLATION

1. LOCATION - Allow adequate space and install the refrigerator on a firm, and level floor. If the appliance is not level, there may be unusual noises and poor cooling performance.
2. GOOD AIR CIRCULATION - Be sure to avoid any partition and object which may stop the air flow and that air space is allowed to flow the rear and/or sides of the unit between the refrigerator and the back wall. Insufficient space causes the noise of vibration, inefficient refrigeration, damage to the refrigeration system, and the waste of electricity. (Turbo Air recommends that the rear of the unit would be no less than 5 inches from the wall)
3. PLACE ON STRONG FLOOR - Be sure that the floor of which the unit is to be installed is strong enough to support the total weight of the cabinet and any other contents, before starting the installation.
4. DO NOT PLACE NEAR HEAT - Be sure to avoid hot corners and other locations such as near stoves. High ambient temperature will make much lower cooling efficiency.
5. INDOOR USAGE ONLY - Be sure to install this unit indoor only. It should prohibit getting wet from the rain. Do not install the refrigerator in locations where the temperature is over 110°F (43°C)

CLEANING

Before cleaning, unplug the unit and disconnect the power.

Wipe and clean the inside and outside of appliance with a damp cloth.
