IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY MESSAGES
WARNING
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the
room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square
feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your
particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any
signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When
transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite orcause an eye injury. If a leak is
detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance
is standing for several minutes.
RISK OF FIRE AND FLAMMABLE MATERIALS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, the following precaution measures should be followed:
• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Do not light a candle to remove odors in the refrigerator.
• In the event of a gas leak (propane/LPG), ensure the area is adequately ventilated and contact an authorized service
center before resuming use. Do not touch the refrigerator or power cord of the refrigerator.
NEVER disconnect the refrigerator by pulling the power cord, always grip the plug rmly and disconnect it directly from the outlet.
Immediately repair or replace all faulty or damaged service cables. Do not use cords that have cracks or abrasion
damage on the length of the cord or on the plug.
When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll over the electrical cord.
DO NOT
store or use gasoline or other combustible liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other electrical appliance.
DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause serious
injury to them and damage to the product.
Keep your fingers away from areas in which they can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and cabinets. Be
careful closing the doors when children are near.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair services be
performed by a qualified professional.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid contact with
a live wire (the bulb could break while being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF position does not discon-
nect the power from the light bulb circuit.
If disposing of a refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant and insulation foam are removed for proper disposal by a quali-
fied servicer.
If you release the refrigerant or throw away the insulation foam, you may be fined or imprisoned in accordance with the
relevant environmental law. Insulation foam contains flammable blowing gas.
Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they could explode after freezing and cause damage.
For your safety, this product should be properly grounded. Have a qualified professional check the electrical circuit
and outlet to ensure a proper ground connection.
Read all instructions before utilizing the product. Utilize this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.
Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the skin could
become adhered to these surfaces.
In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism or with the
heating mechanism that discharges the cubes. DO NOT place your fingers or hands in the ice dispenser mechanism
while the refrigerator is connected.
DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed. The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in your Bulle-
tin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes that:
“...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)”.
“...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be frozen or
consumed. Consumption of melted ice cream should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is questionable,
discard it. The food may be dangerous to consume”.
“Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals. The quality
of red meat is less affected than that of other foods. Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to
maintain their quality”.
• Do not store any living animal inside your refrigerator.

sensory or mental capacity, or persons that lack experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction
in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
assure that they do not play with the appliance.
Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not
a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned
refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there
“for just a few days”. If you would like to dispose of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
below to prevent any accidents.
BEFORE DISPOSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own
outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current
should only be 115 V ~ 60 Hz, AC or 127 V ~ 60 Hz, AC
(according to the National rating). and fused at 15 or 20
A. This provides the best performance and prevents an
overload which could cause a fire from the overheating
of the cables. It is recommended that a separate circuit
be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that
cannot be disconnected with a switch.
Do not use an extension cable.
It is your responsibilit
y and obligation to replace tw
o-
prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three-
prong outlet.
Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third
prong from the plug.
NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing light
bulbs, you must disconnect the appliance from the
power source. When finished, plug the appliance back in
and adjust the thermostat to the desired position.
USE OF EXTENSION CABLES
We do not recommend the use of extension cables.
However, if you still choose to utilize an extension cable,
it is absolutely necessary that it is listed in the UL (in
the United States) or CSA (in Canada), that it supports
three-pronged plugs and that the electrical current
support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.
The use of an extension cable will increase the amount
of space needed behind the refrigerator.

CLOSING AND ALIGNING THE DOORS
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If necessary,
adjust the Leveling Legs to compensate for unevenness
of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing.
Your refrigerator has three front leveling screws, one on
the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unstable or if you would like the doors to close more
easily, simply adjust the inclination of the refrigerator by
following the instructions below:
NOTE: Third leveling screw is used for protection of
hinge lower.
1. Plug the refrigerator into a 3 prong grounded outlet.
Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2.
Use a 11/16” (18 mm) wrench or an adjustable wrench
to adjust the leveling screws (see Figure A), turning
clockwise to raise the side of the refrigerator and
counter-clockwise to lower it. It may take several turns
to adjust it to the inclination you would like.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs.
This will make it easier to adjust the level.
3. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both Leveling Screws
clockwise. It may take several more turns, and you
should turn both Leveling Screws the
same times.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors:
1. Gently pry off the Top Hinge Cover with a flat head
screwdriver and remove.
2. Loosen the Top Hinge Bolts using a 10 mm or 13/32
inch socket wrench or open-end wrench.
3. Have someone hold the freezer door so the space
between the two doors is even, and retighten the top
hinge bolts.
4. Replace the Top Hinge Cover.

ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to obtain stable temperature, the air must flow
between the freezer and refrigerator sections. As shown
in the illustration below, the cold air enters through
the bottom part and circulates upward. This air returns
below the freezer floor and the rest of the air enters the
refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents with packages of food.
This can interrupt the flow of air and cause temperature
and moisture problems.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer
to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to
eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out
of food, make sure you wrap or cover foods tightly (See
the “Food Storage Guide” section for details).
NOTE:
If you close the fresh food
compartment door applying
more force than necessary,
freezer door may get open and
close again, due internal air flow
of refrigerator.
ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS
ţYour refrigerator has two controls that allow you to
regulate the temperature the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
ţRefrigerator Control (On Some Models)
Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle
setting (number 3). To do so, press the TEMPERATURE
ADJUST button until it reaches the middle position
(the third LED turns ON). Leave the refrigerator on this
setting for 24 hours to reach the correct temperature.
After 24 hours, adjust the compartment temperature
as you desire. ALWAYS wait 24 hours before you adjust
the temperature. If you want to set the refrigerator
compartment temperature to a warmer temperature
than the current, continue pressing the TEMPERATURE
ADJUST button until it reaches the desired temperature.
ţDemo Mode (For Store Use Only)
Demo Mode disables all cooling in
the refrigerator and freezer sections to conserve energy
while on display in a retail store. When activated, OFF
will display on the control panel.
To deactivate:
Press the TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until your
desired temperature setting is reached. The OFF light
will turn off once the Demo Mode is deactivated.
ţFreezer Control
The freezer control should come from factory on the
middle setting (number 3). Wait 24 hours before
adjusting the freezer compartment temperature. Roll
the knob to set the freezer temperature as you desire.
ALWAYS wait 24 hours after any adjustment to reach the
desired temperature.
NOTE: Setting at higher number
of the freezer compartment, the
temperature of freezer compart-
ment becomes colder.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATORUSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
13
ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding
food to the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is cold to your liking and ice cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for
the entire appliance. The higher the number setting, the
longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature
colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from
the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control
to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer
compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust the tempe
rature in the refrigerator
or freezer, begin by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait
24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the
freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then
adjust the freezer control as well.

temperature, room temperature, number of door openings
and other operating conditions.
opening. Doing so can result in severe injury.
It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed refrig-
erator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice
production to occur.
Ice making stops whe
n the bin fills to the level of the feeler
arm.
To turn off the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker
switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,set
the switch to ON (I).
The water pressure must be between 20 and 120 psi on
models without a water filter and between 40 and 120 psi
on models with a water filter to produce the normal
amount and size of ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24 cubes).
This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used
for a long time.
Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice bin for
the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the
icemaker or the containers may burst.
Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not use flammable cleaners. Not following these
instructions can cause death, explosion or fire.
The refrigerator, as well as the freezer, do their own
de-freezing. This process does not prevent the build
up of contaminants, therefore it is suggested that you
clean both parts once a month; clean spilled liquids
immediately.
REFRIGERATOR CLEANING
ţUnplug your refrigerator.
ţPull out all of the removable parts (such as the
vegetable and dairy doors).
ţUse a clean sponge (or a soft rag) and use it with
lukewarm water mixed with detergent. Do not use
abrasive or concentrated cleaners.
ţHand wash it, and dry it thoroughly.
ţPlug the refrigerator back in.
OUTSIDE
Wax the outside in order to create better protection. Make
sure you use a product specifically design to be used
for electro-domestic products (car wax is acceptable).
Use a clean, soft rag, and perform this task twice a year.
For metal-made refrigerators, do not wax, simply clean
it with water and detergent. Do not use concentrated or
abrasive products.
In case of STS, apply cleaner in same direction that hair
line of STS.
NOTE: Avoid the usage of chemical products that
contain phosphates or bleach.
INSIDE (Allow freezer to slightly warm up a small
degree to prevent cloth from sticking)
In order to eliminate bad odors, clean the inside of
the refrigerator with a mixture of baking powder and
lukewarm water (one teaspoon of baking powder per cup
of water). Ensure that the powder dissolves thoroughly, in
order to prevent any sort of damage.
DOOR LINING AND GASKETS
Use only a mild detergent (such as dish soap).
PLASTIC PARTS (Covers and Panels)
Do not use abrasive, paper or rough products. These
could damage the product.
BACK COVER
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or turn
off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
NOTE: Back Cover should only be
removed by a qualified technician.
In order to get an efficient
performance of your refrigerator,
clean the back cover of it at least
twice a year.
REPLACING REFRIGERATOR LIGHTS
The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights
are LED interior lighting, and service should
be performed by a qualified technician.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, either unplug
the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker
or fuse box.

REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
1. In case of a black out, call your electric company and
ask how long it will last.
2. In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open the
refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.
3. In case of a longer black out, do one of the following
options:
ţ Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an ice
chest.
ţ Put 2 lbs (907 g) of frozen ice (make sure you use
gloves) for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer.
This task will preserve the food from 2 to 4 days.
ţ In case you do not possess neither ice chest or dry ice,
consume your food as soon as possible.
REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold
longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of m
eat
stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If
you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected.
If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it unsafe,
dispose of it.
WHEN GOING ON VACATION
If you decide to leave your refrigerator on when going
away, consider these steps:
1. Consume all of the perishable items and freeze the
rest.
2. Empty the ice bin.
If you decide to leave your refrigerator off:
1. Remove all of the food.
2. Unplug your refrigerator.
3. Clean and dry it well.
4. Make sure the doors stay open (use blocks or tape) in
or
der to prevent bad odors and fungi from happening.

WHEN MOVING
If you decide to take your refrigerator with you when
moving, consider the following:
1. Remove all of the food from it, and place the frozen
food in an ice chest with dry ice.
2. Unplug your refrigerator.
3. Empty the water from its tray.
4. Clean and dry it with a rag.
5. Pull out all of the removable parts, and wrap them with
adhe
sive tape.
6. Depending on the model of the refrigerator, lift the top
part of the refrigerator so it can roll with ease, or screw
the levelers so it won´t scratch the floor. Consult to the
section “Closing and Aligning Doors”.
7. Keep the doors closed with the cable glued to the
refrigerator cabinet with an adhesive tape.
When your refrigerator arrives to your home, put
everything back into place and read the
section
“Refrigerator Installation” in order to obtain installation
preparation. In case your refrigerator has a factory ice
maker, remember you have to reconnect the water
supply

ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
NOTE: The automatic Ice maker is only included in some
models. Check your specifications of your refrigerator.
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Avoid contact with any moving parts of the ejector
mechanism or with the heater that releases the ice
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers in the automatic ice
maker when the refrigerator is plugged in.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After turning on your refrigerator, the ice will start to be
made between 12 and 24 hours.
Identify your ice maker type.
Type 1
Icemaker
Power Switch
Ice detecting
sensor
The ice maker produces 8 cubes per cycle (between 64
and 128 cubes in a 24 hour period), depending on the
temperature of the freezer, the times in which the door
opens, and other using conditions (amount of food in
the freezer, etc).
If the refrigerator is used before the connection of water
to the ice maker was performed, you must turn its dial
to O (off).
When the water connections are performed, turn its dial
to I (on).
The ice maker will fill up (and start making ice) between
12 and 24 hours after the refrigerator is turned on.
Throw away the first batch of ice. Make sure that nothing
interferes with the sensor.
When the ice reaches the sensor, the ice maker will stop
to make ice immedia
tely.
It’s normal that some ice gets stuck. If the ice is not used
frequently, the older cubes of ice will be opaque in color,
smaller, and
with a strange flavor.
NOTE: Never store beverage cans or other items in the
ice bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may
damage the ice maker or the container may burst.
YOU MUST TURN THE SWITCH TO O (OFF)
When the water supply is interrupted for many hours.
When the ice container is left out of its place for more
than one or two minutes.
When the refrigerator will not be in use for various
days.
NORMAL SOUNDS
The valve will emit a buzzing sound when the ice maker
is full of water. If the switch is placed in the on position
the buzz will still be heard even when the water pipe
has not been connected. To avoid this sound, move
switch to O (off) position.
NOTE: The ice maker can get damaged if the switch is
kept in the ON position before the water pipe has been
connected.
While
the ice maker is filling up with water and
producing ice, you will hear the sound of the ice falling
and water flowing through the pipes.
You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the
bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.
PREPARING FOR VACATIONS
Move the ice maker switch to the O (off) position and cut
the flow of water going into the refrigerator.
If room temperature is at freezing point, have a
specialized technician drain the flow of water from the
inner pipes (certain models) to avoid broken pipe related
damage.
NOTE: To avoid water spilling, the unit should be leveled
and placed on even floor. Do not remove the ice bin
from the ice maker for a long period, doing so may
cause ice spilling.
