WARNING
Electrical Information**

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115V, 60Hz, 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a property grounded 3-prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting the refrigerator to a ground fault interruptor (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adaptor plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being tuned off accidentally.
  

WARNING
Child Safety

• Destroy carton, plastic bags and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never play with these items. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Remove ail staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
• Keep all empty, discarded refrigerators out of the reach of children.
• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.

WARNING
Proper Disposal of Your Refrigerator 
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous — even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents. We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information about recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator:

• Remove the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerator removed by a qualified service technician.

INSTALLATION

This use and care guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this manual. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.
Location

• Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
• To operate the most efficiently, the refrigerator should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 10°F (-12°C) or exceed 110°F (43°C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed to automatically maintain the selected interior refrigerator temperature within these boundaries.
• Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 4-inch (101.6mm) space on the back and 3 inches (76.2mm) on the sides of the refrigerator for adequate circulation.

NOTE
The exterior walls of the refrigerator may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30°F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason, it is particularly important in hotter limates
to allow enough space for air circulation around your refrigerator.
Leveling
The refrigerator must have all bottom comers resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. NOTE: It is very important for your refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
How to Level Your Refrigerator
After removing all interior and exterior packaging materials, and discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s jevel to level the refrigerator from front-to- back. Adjust the leveling feet in front, a half bubble higher, so that the door doses easity when left halfway open.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Cleaning

• Wash any removable parts of the refrigerator interior and exterior with a mild detergent and warm water. Wipe dry. Do not use harsh cleaners on these surfaces.
• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments, which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or touch the residue with the sticky
  side of the tape already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.

CAUTION
To allow the door to close and seal properly, DO NOT let food packages extend past the front of shelves.

• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of a dry and ventilated room, out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
• Level the refrigerator so the door closes tightly.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Wipe bottles and containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build- up inside the unit.
• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• The temperature selector knob is located on the right-hand interior wall of the refrigerator.
  OFF Setting: Unit off
  MIN Setting: Less cool temperature
  MED Setting: Normal operation (adequate for most situations)
  MAX Setting: Coolest temperature

• During high ambient temperatures on hot summer days, it may be necesseary to set the thermostat to the coolest setting (MAX).

• This may cause the compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the cabinet.

• When using the refrigerator-freezer for the first time or after defrosting it, turn the temperature control to MAX for at least two hours before putting in food.
  All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer compartment as soon as possible to prevent the frozen food from thawing.

• Follow the storage recommendations printed on the frozen food packaging.

SOUND AND NOISE
Louder sound levels when refrigerator is on.| Modem refrigerators have increased storage capacity and more stable temperatures. They require a high – efficiency compressor.| This is normal. When the surrounding noise level is low, you might hear the compressor running while it cools the interior.
