it is fully loaded. To level your refrigerator-freezer, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of unit.

• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and heat sources (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may

affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase power consumption. Extreme cold room temperatures

may also cause the refrigerator- freezer to not perform properly.

• Avoid placing the unit in a moist area.

• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly-installed grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should

be directed to a certified electrician or an authorized FORNO Products service centre.

• Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 2 hours. This will reduce

the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system due to handling during transportation.

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in an electrical shock hazard. If the power cord is damaged, have

it replaced by an authorized FORNO Products service centre.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the chance of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the supplied power cord.

This appliance requires a standard 115 Volt~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground plug.

The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from

the receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or

service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use

an extension cord with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it

be a UL/CUL-Listed,3-wire grounded appliance-type extension cord with a ground plug and outlet, and that

the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

SURGE PROTECTOR

Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible

to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed.

If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is

suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge

protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to.

If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed, contact a licensed electrician

in your area.

Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product

warranty.

FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL TO THE “COLDEST” SETTING. THIS WILL IMPROVE

THE FUNCTIONING THE REFRIGERATOR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

 Cleaning Your Appliance

• Unplug the unit and remove the food and bins.

• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons

of baking soda to a quart of water.

• Wash the bins with a mild detergent solution.

• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.

CAUTION

Failure to unplug the refrigerator-freezer could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

 Power Failure

• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your

refrigerator-freezer if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off

for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

 Vacation Time

Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations lasting less than three weeks.

Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power

cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odour and mold growth, leave the door open slightly,

wedging it open if necessary.

 Moving Your Appliance

• Remove all food inside the appliance.

• Securely tape down all loose items inside the unit.

• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.

• Tape the door shut.

• Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.

 Energy Saving Tips

• The unit 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 them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the

compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down

on frost build-up inside the freezer.

• Organize and label food to reduce the frequency of door openings and extended searches for items inside

the unit. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
