cooling, frost, and moisture problems that can occur when the door does not
close properly.
- Move the refrigerator to its final location. See “Move to Final Location.”
- Place a carpenter’s level on the top of the refrigerator cabinet.
- Adjust the two leveling feet, (one foot located at each of the two front corners of the refrigerator cabinet) until the refrigerator is level.
NOTE: T he leveling feet are easier to adjust if you have someone push against the top front of the refrigerator to take some weight off the feet.
To Raise – Turn the leveling feet clockwise.
To Lower – Turn the leveling feet counterclockwise.
REVERSE THE DOOR SWING
- Power off the refrigerator, and remove all objects from the door trays.
- Remove the refrigerating door, remove the bottom hinge, and adjust the foot on the other side. Remove the hinge cover, then remove the upper hinge screws, upper hinge, and hole cap on the other side.
- Remove the freezer door, the middle hinge, the screw hole caps.
- Remove the screws and limit the cover of refrigeration. Blocks fixed on the lower end.
- Install the adjusting foot to the right side, take out 2 limit blocks from the plastic bag to the left side of the lower-end instruction manual, and fix them cover respectively with screws,
- Freeze the left side of the lower-end cover, remove the other side of the lower hinge from the instruction bag, and install it on the left side.
- Place the refrigerating door from top to bottom, take out the gasket from the plastic bag in the instructions, and put it into the axle hole on the left side of the refrigerating door, as shown in the picture.

- (The picture above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the physical product.)
BEFORE USE WAITING PERIOD
- Before plugging the refrigerator into a grounded 3-prong electrical outlet, allow it to stand upright for approximately 2 hours.
- NOTE: This reduces the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper handling during transportation.
CLEANING
- Wash the refrigerator interior using a soft cloth dampened with a baking soda solution (2 tablespoons baking soda mixed with 1 quart of warm water).
- Using a soft cloth, thoroughly dry all surfaces. Put the freezer door on the middle hinge, assemble the upper hinge on the other side, fix the hinge cover on the upper hinge, and fix the hole cap on the other side.
REFRIGERATOR USE GENERAL
- The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
- Do NOT place beverage cans, bottles, or other sealed containers of liquid in the freezer. Freezing may cause the containers to crack and leak, damaging the freezer.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
- Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
- Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
- Do not use an adapter.
- Do not use an extension cord.
- Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
- Plug in your refrigerator. Wait for 30 minutes, and then open the refrigerator door to determine if the refrigerator is working properly.
- Place frozen food into the refrigerator as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
- Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer.
- Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
- Do not line refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
- Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and then close the door as soon as possible.
- Do NOT add a large amount of unfrozen food to the refrigerator at one time. This will lower the cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
CONTROLS

- Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments and store it in a cooler with ice, in another refrigerator, or in a cool area.
- Ensure that the drainpipe is clear. Use a soft cloth to clean the refrigerator liner.
- Place the drain tray under the evaporator to catch the water from the melting ice. Empty the drain tray as necessary to prevent water from overflowing.
- Keep the refrigerator door open until the ice melts.
- If desired, place a pan of hot water in the freezer to speed melting.
- Use a plastic scraper to help remove ice and frost. Do not use an ice pick, or other metal or sharp implement as this may damage the refrigerator.
