DANGER**

  • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

  • Replace all panels before operating.

  • It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator or freezer be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

  • Never clean refrigerator or freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other refrigerator or freezer. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

  • Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

  • Unplug the refrigerator or freezer or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

  • Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator or freezer unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

  • This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.

  • In the event of any damage:
    – Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
    – Disconnect from the power supply,
    – Air the room in which the refrigerator or freezer is located for several minutes and
    – Contact the Service Department for advice.

  • The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant, at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

  • Take serious care when handling, moving and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

  • Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.

Before discarding your old refrigerator:
Take off the doors
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using your Refrigerator or freezer

  • Remove the exterior and interior packing
  • Before connecting the refrigerator or freezer to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 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 it is not already attached. (See page 8.) Installation of your Refrigerator or freezer
  • The refrigerator or freezer is designed for built-in or recessed or free standing installation for indoor use.
  • Place your refrigerator or freezer on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level the unit, adjust the front leveling legs.
  • For free standing installation, 5” (127mm) of space between the back and sides of the unit, and 4” (102mm) at the top, are suggested, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser. Even for built-in installation, it is a must to keep ¼” (6.35mm) space on each side and at the top and 2” (51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the refrigerator or freezer is never covered or blocked in any way.

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator or freezer near an oven, radiator or other heating source. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Don’t install in a location where the temperature will fall below 44°F (7°C). For best performance, do not install the refrigerator or freezer behind a cabinet door or block the base grille.

  • Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
  • Plug the refrigerator or freezer into an exclusive, properly grounded wall outlet.

Electrical Connection
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
This refrigerator or freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator or freezer is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this refrigerator or freezer must be properly grounded. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized service center. This refrigerator or freezer requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the refrigerator or freezer and not left exposed or dangling.
The refrigerator or freezer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the refrigerator or freezer. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the refrigerator or freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the refrigerator or freezer, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this refrigerator or freezer. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type refrigerator or freezer extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

Reversing the Door Swing
If you find the direction of opening the door of the refrigerator or freezer inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared at the factory. To reverse your door, follow these instructions:

Defrosting
Refrigerators in this series defrost automatically in normal operating conditions. The evaporator behind the rear wall of the unit defrosts automatically. The condensate collects in the drainage channel behind the rear wall of the unit and flows through the drainage hole into the drip tray by the compressor where it evaporates.
However, frost may accumulate on the evaporator if the unit is repeatedly opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will require manual defrosting.
Freezer models require manual defrosting. For the most efficient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is excessive or ¼ to ½” thick.
CAUTION: Never use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost, as it may damage the cooling coils and will void your warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.
To Defrost

  1. Remove the frozen items from the freezer and place it in another cooling device
  2. Turn the thermostat off and unplug your freezer, leaving the door open to help speed up the defrosting process
  3. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting ice from the freezer floor. Pouring warm (not boiling) water on the ice/frost may also help speed the defrosting process.
  4. Clean and thoroughly dry the freezer interior
  5. Close the door and plug the freezer in, resetting the thermostat to the desired setting
  6. Allow several hours for the cabinet to reach the proper storage temperature

Shelves
To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way open when pulling the shelves out of the rail compartment.

  • Any of the shelves can be removed to store larger items.
  • When removing the shelf from the rail compartment,make sure to remove all items first. Then move the shelf to the position where the notch of the shelf is exactly under the plastic post and lift the shelf. In order to replace the shelf, repeat steps described above in reverse.

Door Lock
Your unit is provided with a lock and key combination. The keys are located inside the plastic bag that contains the User Manual. Insert the key into the lock and turn it   ounterclockwise to unlock the door. To lock the door, do the reverse operation, making sure the metal pin is engaged completely. Remove the key and put it in a secure place  or safe keeping.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your Refrigerator or Freezer
