WARNING!
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
- Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit for a few days”
- Before discarding your old refrigerator: Take out the drawer
- Before you throw away your old refrigerator: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or outdoor location, away from heat producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
- Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
- Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.
- Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
- Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry when placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build up in side the unit.
- Unit drawer should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
- Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
- Organize and label stored items reduce door openings and extend searches.
- Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Remove the exterior and interior packing. Before connecting the appliance to
the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 24 hours. This will
reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a
soft cloth. Install the handle on the door if not already attached. It is
recommended that you install the appliance in a place where the ambient
temperature is between 60°F and 90°F (16°C-32°C). If the ambient temperature
is above or below recommended temperatures, the performance of the unit may be
affected. For example, placing your unit in extremely cold or hot conditions
may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. The operating temperature range
may not be reached.
