Absocold Corp Refrigerator Owner's Manual

Installation

Choosing the Right Location

Selecting an appropriate location for your Absocold refrigerator is critical for optimum performance. Consider the following factors:

• Ventilation: Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for airflow. The recommended clearance is at least 2 inches on each side and the back.
• Sunlight: Avoid placing the refrigerator in direct sunlight or near heat sources such as ovens or radiators.
• Floor: The floor must be sturdy and level to support the weight and prevent vibrations.
• Accessibility: Position the refrigerator where it can be easily accessed, keeping door swing and clearance in mind.

Unpacking the Refrigerator

Once the ideal location is chosen, it's time to unpack the refrigerator:

1. Check for Damage: Examine the packaging for any signs of transit damage.
2. Remove Packaging: Carefully strip away all packing materials, ensuring no tape or protective film remains on the fridge.
3. Inspect Components: Verify that all components and accessories are accounted for as per the manual.

Levelling the Unit

Proper leveling of your refrigerator ensures door alignment and optimal operation:

1. Adjust Front Rollers/Feet: Use an adjustable wrench to turn the rollers or feet until the fridge is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
2. Use a Spirit Level: Place a spirit level on top of the refrigerator to ensure accuracy.
3. Check Door Sealing: Close the doors and confirm they seal properly without any gaps.

Electrical Requirements

Ensure safe and efficient functioning by meeting the electrical requirements:

• Dedicated Circuit: The refrigerator should be connected to a dedicated circuit.
• Voltage: Verify the outlet provides 110-120 volts at 60 Hz.
• Outlet Type: Use a grounded, three-prong outlet to prevent electrical hazards.
• Avoid Extension Cords: Plug the appliance directly into the outlet to avoid power fluctuations.

Connecting the Water Line

Connect the refrigerator to the water supply if equipped with a water dispenser or ice maker:

1. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate and turn off the nearby water supply to prevent leaks.
2. Attach Tubing: Connect the water line tubing to the refrigerator's water valve.
3. Secure Connections: Tighten all connections using a wrench, ensuring no leaks.
4. Restore Water Supply: Turn it back on and check for any leaks.

Initial Setup and Calibration

Prepare the refrigerator for use by initially setting up and calibrating:

1. Power On: Plug in the refrigerator and set the desired cooling temperature. Refer to the user interface for specific instructions.
2. Allow Stabilization: Let the fridge run for 24 hours before loading food to ensure stabilization.
3. Adjust Shelves/Drawers: Configure the interior shelves and drawers as per your storage needs.

Verifying Proper Operation

Confirming the proper operation will guarantee your refrigerator is functioning efficiently:

• Temperature Check: Use a fridge thermometer to verify the internal temperature matches the set point.
• Noise Level: Listen for any unusual noises, indicating possible issues with installation or calibration.
• Water/Ice Dispensing: Test water and ice dispensers to ensure correct setup and no leaks.

By following these steps carefully, you ensure a smooth installation process and optimal functionality from your Absocold refrigerator.
