GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 115 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The product is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. 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 Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:

1. The grounding instructions are not completely understood.

   • Use only a grounding 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
   •  The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled at by children or tripped over unintentionally.

FOOD STORAGE

• When storing fresh food that is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or store food in airtight and moistureproof material unless otherwise noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of odors and tastes.
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to maximize shelf life.

VACATION AND MOVING CARE

• When going on vacation, it is best that you empty all the food from your refrigerator and freezer. Set the temperature dial to “0” and unplug the refrigerator. Clean the unit as per the “Cleaning Method” and leave the door open to remove any odors.
• When traveling or moving the refrigerator, always transport the unit vertically. Moving the unit on its sides may damage the refrigerator and/or its compressor. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE REFRIGERATOR YOURSELF. CONSULT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances, heating ducts, and direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer and thus increases energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
• The shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels which will interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

HOW TO DEFROST (Refer to Fig A)

• Defrost the freezer compartment when the frost accumulated is about 1/8″ thick
  Set the temperature control dial to “0” before defrosting. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment and leave the door open until ice and frost dissolve thoroughly. Make sure the drip tray is in place and unplug the unit. After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray, wipe the compartment dry with a soft cloth and then adjust the temperature control dial to the desired position
  NOTE: – In case you want to speed up the defrosting, you may put a bowl of warm water (about 122ºF) into the refrigerator.

  • Do not heat the evaporator directly with hot water or a hair dryer while defrosting. Doing so will damage the freezer compartment.
  • Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the refrigerator and puncture the cooling coils. It will also void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
