CHILD SAFETY
RISK OF SUFFOCATION AND ENTRAPMENT

Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation. A discarded appliance represents a dangerous attraction for children and a risk of entrapment. Always remove the door or lid of any equipment that is not used, even if it’s only for a few days.

BEFORE USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Before connecting the unit 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.

Installation Instructions

Remove exterior and interior packings, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 2 inches away from the wall.

LOCATION

1. Select a place with a strong, level floor.
2. Allow 2 inches of space between the back of the refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.

The refrigerating system in this refrigerator is a “Frost Free” system. This type of system requires no user intervention (i.e. defrosting) other than selecting required cooling temperatures and the usual care and maintenance.

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling legs, located under the refrigerator.

The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food stored and the frequency with which the door is opened.

NOTES:

• This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY, and is NOT intended to be built-in.
• Before connecting this appliance to electrical power supply, leave it to stand for approx. 24 hours, which will reduce the possibility of malfunction in the cooling system due to transport handling.
• This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE ONLY and is NOT intended for outdoor operation.

Install this appliance in an area where the ambient temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be affected.

LEVELING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs that are located in the front bottom corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator under its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
• Leveling 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 leveling legs are extended.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be grounded. In case of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape for the electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.

• If the power goes out, the unit should restart itself when the power comes back on.
• Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
• Do not place food so that it blocks an air vent, and leave adequate space between food items for air flow in the cabinet.
• Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between two temperature selections.

FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• • Your refrigerator has one vent control for regulating the temperature in the freezer compartment . The temperature control is located on the center of the freezer compartment’s interior back panel.

• • The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to
  “COLDEST” and let the unit run for at least 2 hours before putting food inside. This will ensure that the freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.

• The FREEZER temperature control ranges from “COLD” (the warmest) to “COLDEST” (the coldest). Adjust this control to get the desired temperature. The recommended factory setting is COLDER (half way between “COLD” and “COLDEST”).

THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.

Care and Maintenance

COOLING SYSTEM
This refrigerator is inclusive of a “Frost Free” type cooling system, which means you never have to defrost the freezer compartment. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan located near the compressor, where it then evaporates.

CLEANING
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon baking soda to one quart (4 cups) of water, or a mild soap suds solution or mild detergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a mild detergent solution, then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a damp soft cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.

VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual setting. During longer absences:
a) remove all food,
b) disconnect from electrical outlet,
c) leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold, or Odors.

POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two, and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number times you open the door while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food.

IFYOU MOVE
Remove, or securely fasten down, all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.

SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR
