INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LOCATION
- Two people should be used when moving the appliance.
- Remove interior and exterior packaging prior to installation. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm wet cloth.
- Place the appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
- Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
- Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
- This appliance is intended for household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).
- Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
- This appliance is 23.8 inches (60.5 cm) wide by 34.1 inches (86.6 cm) high by 23.7 inches (60.2 cm) deep.
FRONT VENT
This appliance is front breathing. Do not block the front air vent as this will result in high operating temperatures, higher energy usage and possible system overheating and failure.

LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There is an adjustable leg on the bottom of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level. It is important that the appliance is level to minimize noise and vibration. To level the appliance:
- Move the appliance to its final location.
- Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as it will go, until the top of the foot is touching the bottom of the cabinet.

The cabinet opening must be at least 24 inches (61 cm) wide by 35 inches (88.9 cm) high by 25 inches (63.5 cm) deep.
Note: The listed depth requirement is assuming that the electrical outlet is located in the adjacent cabinetry or flush mounted in the rear wall, not surface mounted inside the enclosure.
If the electrical outlet is located inside adjacent cabinetry, cut a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) diameter hole to admit the power cord. If the cabinet wall is metal, the hole edge must be covered with a bushing or grommet.
