Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.

When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety

precautions, including the following:

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 all electric service cords that have become frayed or other-

wise damaged immediately. 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 perform the service.

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

your refrigerator.

7. If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the

doors. 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 been thawed if they

still contain ice crystals or if they are 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 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 food as

soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you can.”

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

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

4

Note: Refrigerator is for freestanding purpose.

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

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.

Proper Air Circulation

• To ensure that 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…………….1" (25mm)

Top....................1" (25mm)

Back..................1" (25mm)

Electrical Requirements

• 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-plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order

to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it

provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in

shock hazard.

Use of Extension Cord

• 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.

Install Limitations

• 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.
