Remove Interior Packaging
Your appliance has been packed for shipment with all parts that could be damaged by movement securely fastened. Remove internal packing materials and any tape holding internal components in place. The owners manual is shipped inside the product in a plastic bag along with the warranty registration card, and other accessory items.

Important
Keep your carton and packaging until your appliance has been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condition. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed as proof of damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose of all items responsibly.

WARNING – Dispose of the plastic bags which can be a suffocation hazard

Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving our plant. Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the retailer upon acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit must be made to the retailer.

DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE MANUFACTURER – FILE THE CLAIM WITH THE RETAILER.

If the appliance was shipped, handled, or stored in other than an upright position for any period of time, allow the appliance to sit upright for a period of at least 24 hours before plugging in. This will assure oil returns to the compressor.
Plugging the appliance in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

WARNING – Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous – even if they sit out for “just a few hours”.
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

Take off the doors or remove the drawers.
Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

They can be hazardous and can degrade product performance.
This appliance should not, under any circumstances, be installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.
Do not remove the grounding prong from the power cord. (See Figure 2).
Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 3).
Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death

ELECTRICAL

Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.

This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three- pronged, grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances (see Figure 4). If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power supply. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down.
GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time, unless required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

Front Grille
Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year, brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area (see page 8).

SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect electrical power from the appliance before cleaning with soap and water

Cabinet
The painted cabinet can be washed with either a mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use abrasive scouring cleaners.

Interior
Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.

Care of Appliance

Avoid leaning on the door, you may bend the door hinges or tip the appliance.
Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming or mopping near the front of the appliance. Damage to the grille can occur.
Periodically clean the interior of the appliance as needed.
Periodically check and/or clean the front grille as needed.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as possible. Minimize the number of door openings while the power is off so as not to adversely affect the appliance’s temperature.

Light assembly replacement
All models use an LED to illuminate the interior of the appliance. This component is very reliable, but should it fail, contact a qualified service technician for replacement of the LED.

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.
Install product out of direct sunlight.
Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance beneath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.
Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product.
Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable temperature for the stored contents.
Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.
For wine storage products:
When serving temperatures are not required, return the compartment(s) set temperature to the ideal red and white wine long term storage temperature of 13°C / 55°F.
