CAUTION
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.
INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We
recommend a location where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away
from heat sources. To ensure your product performs to specifications, the
recommended installation location temperature range is from 50 to 100°F (10 to
38°C).
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.
CAUTION
Front Grille Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front
grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to
this air flow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling
capacity. For this reason it is important this area not be obstructed and the
grille openings kept clean (See Figure 1). The use of a custom made grille is
not recommended as it may restrict air flow.
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 33 3 ⁄4″ (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in (CW ↷) and the maximum, 34 3 ⁄4″ (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out (CCW ↶).
To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs. Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appliance forward using caution. On a level surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure2).
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
- Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. 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 3).
- Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 4).
- 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 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 5). 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.
NOTE
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.
INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE
FOR FREESTANDING INSTALLATIONS
WARNING
• ALL APPLIANCES CAN TIP RESULTING IN INJURY.
• INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET PACKED WITH THE APPLIANCE.
• FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
Anti-Tip Device
WARNING
If your refrigerator is not located under a counter top (free standing),
you must use an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the
refrigerator is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that the
device is properly engaged with the anti-tip bracket when you push the
refrigerator back into the original location. If the device is not properly
engaged, there is a risk of the refrigerator tipping over, with the potential
for property damage or personal injury.
NOTE
If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required, (not
included with the anti-tip kit).
CAUTION
Any finished flooring should be protected with appropriate material to avoid
damage when moving the unit.
Floor Mount Installation
The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the floor in the left or right rear
corner of the refrigerator as shown in Figure 6.
Step by step instructions for locating the position of the bracket:
- Decide where you want to place the refrigerator. Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor, leaving 1″ (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for the anti-tip bracket.
- Raise the rear leveling legs approximately ¼” (6 mm) to allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clockwise will lower the unit.
- Make sure the refrigerator is in the desired location, then mark on the floor the rear and side corner of the cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then make temporary lines on the floor marking the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the refrigerator out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 21 ½” (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 7.
- Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the floor so the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet mark, and the “V” notches on the anti-tip bracket line up with the end of the 21 ½” (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).
- Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied screw. (See Figure 7). 6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engaging the slot.
NOTE
When the floor mounted anti-tip bracket is used the minimum adjusted height of
the cabinet is increased by 3/8″ (9 mm).

If necessary to gain clearance inside the rough-in opening a hole can be cut through the adjacent cabinet and the power cord routed through this hole to a power outlet. Another way to increase the available opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug.
- Depth dimension of rough-in opening may vary depending on each individual installation. To recess entire door “F” dimension plus 1″ (2.5 cm) for thickness of power cord plug is required.
** Minimum rough-in opening required is to be larger than the adjusted height of the cabinet.
*** A grounded 15 amp dedicated circuit is required. Follow all local building codes when installing electrical and appliance.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Background
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel,
but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stainless steels can discolor or
corrode if not maintained properly. Stainless steels differ from ordinary
carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that
provides an invisible protective film on the surface called chrome-oxide. This
protective chrome-oxide film on the surface can be damaged or contaminated,
which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.
Care & Cleaning
Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend
the life of your product by removing contaminants. This is especially
important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe
contaminants such as halide salts, (sodium chloride).
It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean
crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations
where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate
contaminates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of
corrosion should be replaced.
Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location,
environmental, and usage conditions.
Choosing a Cleaning Product
The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer,
and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of
cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than
others.
Typically the most effective and efficient means for routine cleaning of most
stainless steel products is to give the surfaces a brisk rubbing with a soft
cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia.
Rubbing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel,
and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.
Although some products are called “stainless steel cleaners,” some may contain
abrasives which could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective
chrome-oxide film), and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull,
tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.
After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car
wax may be applied to help maintain the finish.
Note: Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored in
close proximity to chlorine chemicals.
Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used in strict accordance
with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.
Energy saving tips:
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 pe riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem perature 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.
