__ The refrigerator cannot reach a temperature below 40°F.| The temperature of the refrigerator is related to many factors. For example:1. Many things are stored in it2. The high frequency of door opening will affect the temperature. We suggest that you reduce the frequency of opening the door and reduce the amount of food in the refrigerator. Then please observe for 24hours to see if the refrigerator temperature will change.
Can I extend the warranty?| We currently only provide a one-year warranty for our freezers and it can’t be extended.
What is the proper temperature?| The temperature of the freezer can reach below -0.04°F. And the temperature range of our fridge is from 32°F- 50°F. Please kindly note that the temperature will be a little higher when you measure the temperature with the door open.
What do the numbers 1-7 on the temperature adjustment stand for？| The refrigerator part has 7 levels of temperature adjustment. The numbers 1-7 are the highest temperature to the lowest temperature. In other words, if you think the temperature is too low and the food is frozen, you could try to adjust the tempera- ture to 4 or below.

Safety Precautions

WARNING

READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. WHEN USING THIS APPLIANCE, ALWAYS EXERCISE BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

NOTE

If the refrigerator/freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, please wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide. This refrigerator/freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.

• This refrigerator/freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

• Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. DANGER – Risk of Fire or Explosion. Flammable refrigerant used.

• Do not use mechanical devices to defrost refrigerator. Do not puncture the refrigerant tubing.

• If your old refrigerator/freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

• WARNING: After your refrigerator/freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when your hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

• Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40°F”. “…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be consumed. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, please discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.” “…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of their eating quality as you can.”

• Do not use any electrical device or sharp instruments when defrosting your refrigerator.

• Unplug your refrigerator/freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
  Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician perform service.

• Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

CAUTION – RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Dispose of property in accordance with Federal or Local Regulations. Flammable refrigerant.

DANGER

Installing Your Refrigerator

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

2. Inspect and remove all packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.

CAUTION

Risk of fire or explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerant used. Handle with care when moving the refrigerator to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

LEVELING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

• Your refrigerator has two levelling legs which are located in the front bottom corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you can
  level your refrigerator.

• Levelling legs can be adjusted by turning them counter clockwise to raise your refrigerator or by   turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the levelling legs are extended

PROPER AIR CIRCULATION

• To ensure that your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:

Sides… 3/4″ (19mm)
Top……….2″ (50mm)
Back………2″ (50mm)

WARNING

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT – SHOCK HAZARD

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT

• Ensure that there is a suitable power outlet (120 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two-prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.

WARNING

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS- POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD

Use of Extension Cords

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because it can pose a potential safety hazard under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
  DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD LONGER THAN 12 FT.

Installation Limitations

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g., garage, etc.
• Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit. Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, flat surface away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the levelling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
