If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage
and frequency the appliance is designed for.

lukewarm wet cloth.
•Place the appliance on a floor that is strong
enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
•Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or
near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater,
as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also
cause the appliance to perform improperly.
•Do not use the appliance near water, for

•This appliance is intended for household use
only. It is not designed for outside installation,
including anywhere that is not temperature
controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).
•Before connecting the appliance to a power
source, let it stand upright for approximately
6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
•This appliance is 44.9cm (17.6 inches) wide

by turning the thermostat dial.
The thicker, darker part of the blue line is the
coldest setting.
The thinner, lighter part of the blue line is the
warmest setting.
The “O” position will turn off the cooling function.
Internal temperature of the appliance can vary
based on ambient temperature, the quantity of items
stored and how frequently the door is opened.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS

appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure
that the appliance is level.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE
This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button”
defrost system. To activate the defrost cycle, push
the red defrost button located on the center of
the thermostat dial. The defrost cycle is initiated
immediately.
When defrosting is complete, the red button will
release and the refrigerator will resume normal
operating conditions.
Note: If the red defrost button is pressed
accidentally, it is not possible to manually deactivate
the defrost cycle. The defrost cycle must be allowed
to run its course.
Defrosting the refrigerator should take place
whenever ice build-up inside the freezer
compartment reaches 6 mm (1/4”) thick. Defrosting
may take a few hours, depending on the amount of
accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature.
To speed up the defrosting process, remove all
frozen foods from the freezer section and leave the
door open for a short period of time.
Monitor the refrigerator closely during the defrosting
process to avoid water spilling and causing damage
to flooring or counter tops.
Important: Remember to close the refrigerator
door before the defrost cycle terminates and
normal operating conditions resume. The drip tray
should be in position directly below the freezer
compartment to catch condensed water during
defrosting.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the freezer compartment. The
freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas
lines and if accidentally pierced it will render the
refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers
warranty. Do not allow the refrigerator to continue
operation if the freezer compartment is pierced.
