SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this

appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including

the following:

NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted

position for any period of time wait 24 hours before

plugging the unit in.

1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use

and care guide.

2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in

the installation section.

3) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows

cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the

connector end.

5) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certified technician performs the service.

6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting

your refrigerator.

7) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you

remove the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the

possibility of danger to children.

8) After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces

in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

9) Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United

States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69

reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if

they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F.

“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or

off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice

cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or

questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of

foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating

quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use

refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality

as you can.”

10) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in in an enclosed

cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all

adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials

before powering on the refrigerator.

• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front

bottom corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your

refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.

• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise

your refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your

refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling

legs are extended.

• To ensure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was

designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper

air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

• The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:

Sides……………3/4" (19mm)

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)

with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

• Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third

grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is

a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the

refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety

hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension

cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding

plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating

of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical

rating of the appliance.

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated

or heated, e.g. garage, etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to

operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface

away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators, baseboard

heaters, cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be

corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of

the refrigerator.

This compartment is designed for making ice cubes and for short-term

food storage (a few days at most).

WARNING: This compartment is not cold enough to freeze foods

safely for more than 5 days.

• If ice cube tray freezes to the bottom of the compartment, pour a little

warm water around it to loosen it. Do not use boiling water, which

can damage plastic parts, or sharp metal objects such as a knife or

screwdriver, which can damage the cooling system tubing. Wash the

ice cube tray in lukewarm water only. Do not wash in the dishwasher.

Fresh Food

• When storing fresh food that is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap

or store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise

noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of

odors and tastes.

• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.

• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to

maximize shelf life.

• Fruit should be washed and dried, then stored in sealed plastic bags

before storing in the refrigerator.

• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers.

• Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in

plastic bags or containers.

• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.

This will prevent unnecessary energy use.

• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.

• When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original

packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for

safe storage:

• Chicken 1-2 Days

• Ground Beef 1-2 Days

• Cold Cuts 3-5 Days

• Steaks/Roasts 3-5 Days

• Smoked/Cured Meats 7-10 Days

• All others 1-2 Days

Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your

refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result

in death or injury.

Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow

manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal

injury or product damage.

General: Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking

soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth,

dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your

refrigerator.

• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine

bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring

pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/

or discolor your refrigerator.

Door Gaskets: Clean door gaskets every three months according to general

instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable to

assure a proper seal.

• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets

will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.

Proper Refrigerator Care and Cleaning

Cleaning and Maintenance

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of

the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.

• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

13

English

Defrosting

Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the freezer compartment becomes

1/8" thick. Never us a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost

as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will

cause serious damage to the product and will void the warranty). We

recommend using a plastic scraper. To defrost, remove foods and ice

cube tray from the freezer compartment. Make sure the drip tray is

in place and unplug the unit. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To

defrost faster, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in

the refrigerator. After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray and

wash the drip tray in warm water.

14

Power Interruptions

• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to

thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the power cord from

AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has

been restored, replug power cord to AC outlet. If outage

is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard spoiled or

thawed food in freezer and refrigerator. Clean refrigerator

before reusing.

Vacation and Moving Care

• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator

and freezer, move the temperature dial to the "0" position

and clean the refrigerator and door gaskets according to

"General Cleaning" section. Prop doors open, so air can

circulate inside.When moving, always move the refrigerator

vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible

damage to the sealed system could occur.

Energy Saving Tips

• The refrigerater should be located in the coolest area of

the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating

ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing

in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces

the compressor to run longer and thus increases energy

consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose

quality or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry

before placing in the refrigerator.

• The wire shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil,

wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air

circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.

• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended

searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time,

and close the door as soon as possible.

English

15

Refrigerator does not operate:

• Check if thermostat control is not in the “OFF” position.

• Check if refrigerator is plugged in.

• Check if there is power at the AC outlet, by checking the circuit breaker.

Food temperature appears too warm:

• Frequent door openings.

• Allow time for recently added warm food to reach fresh food temperature.

• Check gaskets for proper seal.

• Adjust temperature control to colder setting.

Food temperature is too cold:

• If temperature control setting is too cold, adjust to a warmer setting and allow

several hours for temperature to adjust.

Refrigerator runs too frequently:

• This may be normal to maintain constant temperature during high temperature

and humid days.

• Doors may have been opened frequently or for an extended period of time.

• Check gasket for proper seal.

• Check to see if doors are completely closed.

Moisture build up on interior or exterior

of the refrigerator:

• This is normal during high humidity periods.

• Prolonged or frequent door openings.

• Check door gaskets for proper seal.

Refrigerator has an odor:

• Interior needs cleaning.

• Foods improperly wrapped or sealed are giving off odors.

Refrigerator door does not shut properly:

• Level the refrigerator.

• Re-align refrigerator door.

• Check for blockages, e.g. food containers, crisper cover,shelves, bins, etc.

Popping or cracking sound when the compressor comes on:

• Check to ensure the refrigerator is level.

• The floor may be uneven or weak. The refrigerator rocks on the floor when it is

moved slightly. Be sure the floor can adequately support the refrigerator. Level

the refrigerator by putting wood or metal shims under part of the refrigerator.

• The refrigerator is touching the wall. re-level the refrigerator and move it from

the wall. See the “Installing Your Refrigerator” section.

MESURES DE SECURITE

Lire l’ensemble des instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil. Lors de

l’utilisation de cet appareil, prendre toutes les mesures de sécurité de

base, y compris les suivantes:

REMARQUE: Si le réfrigérateur a été placé en position horizontale ou

en position inclinée, que ce soit pour longtemps ou non,

attendez 24 heures avant de brancher l’appareil.

1) N’utiliser cet appareil que pour l’usage pour lequel il est prévu, tel qu’il

est indiqué dans le guide d’utilisation et d’entretien.

2) Ce réfrigérateur doit être correctement installé conformément aux

instructions d’installation avant d’être utilisé. Consulter les instructions

de mise à la terre du chapitre Installation.

3) Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon d’alimentation pour débrancher le

réfrigérateur. Toujours saisir fermement la fiche et la retirer

complètement de la prise.

4) Réparer ou remplacer immédiatement tout cordon électrique effiloché

ou endommagé d’une quelconque manière. Ne pas utiliser un cordon

7) Si vous n’avez plus l’usage de votre ancien réfrigérateur, nous vous

conseillons d’en retirer les portes. Ceci permet d’éviter tout danger

potentiel pour les enfants.

8) Une fois le réfrigérateur en fonctionnement, ne pas toucher les surfaces

froides du compartiment de congélation, en particulier avec des mains

mouillées ou humides. La peau risquerait d’adhérer à ces surfaces

extrêmement froides.

9) Ne pas recongeler les aliments qui ont été complètement décongelés. Le

bulletin Maisons et Jardins du Ministère de l’Agriculture des États-Unis

n° 69 stipule que: « ...Les aliments congelés peuvent être recongelés en

toute sécurité s’ils contiennent toujours des cristaux de glace ou si leur

température reste inférieure à 4,5°C. »

« …Les viandes hachées, la volaille et le poisson présentant une odeur

désagréable ou une couleur suspecte ne doivent ni être recongelés, ni

être consommés. La crème glacée dégelée doit être jetée. Tout aliment

présentant une odeur ou couleur douteuse doit être jeté. L’ingestion d’un

aliment de ce type peut s’avérer dangereuse. »

Français

18

« …La décongélation ou la recongélation, même partielle, fait

diminuer les qualités gustatives des aliments, en particulier des fruits,

légumes et plats préparés. La qualité gustative des viandes rouges est

affectée à un bien moindre degré que celle de nombreux autres aliments.

Utiliser les aliments recongelés dès que possible, afin de conserver la

majeure partie de leurs qualités gustatives. »

10) Ce réfrigérateur ne doit être ni encastré, ni enclos dans un placard. Il a été

conçu pour être installé tel qu’il se présente.

11) Ne pas faire marcher le congélateur en présence de fumées pouvant

entraîner une explosion.
