TURNING ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR
WARNING: Electrical Connections
•This appliance should be properly grounded for your
safety.
•This refrigerator’s power cord is equipped with a
three-prong plug which connects to standard three-
prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of
electrical shock.
•Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
•This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120V AC
60 Hz electrical grounded outlet with three prongs.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure that the outlet is
properly grounded.
•When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-
prong wall outlet.
•The cord should be secured behind the appliance
and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
•The appliance should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the appliance. This
provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a
fire hazard from overheating.
•Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
•Immediately repair or replace all power cords that
are frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either end. When moving the appliance,
be careful not to damage the power cord.
WARNING: Extension Cords
•Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this appliance.
•If an extension cord is needed, you must use a
UL/CUL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord that has a grounding-type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be
115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
WARNING: Surge Protectors
•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 your refrigerator is going to be used in an area
prone to power surges/outages, it is suggested that
you use a power surge protector for all electrical
devices/appliances that 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.
1. After moving your refrigerator or reversing the doors,
wait two hours before turning it on. This reduces the
chance of a malfunction in the cooling system from
handling and transportation.
2. Plug your refrigerator’s power cord into a grounded
power outlet. Your refrigerator automatically turns on.
3. Set the refrigerator and freezer temperatures to
RECOMMENDED. See “Adjusting the temperature” on
page 11 for more detailed instructions.
4. Let your refrigerator run for at least four hours. When
your refrigerator has fully chilled, place your food in
your refrigerator and freezer compartments.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE
Temperatures can vary depending on ambient
temperature, frequency of door opening, and how much
food is in each compartment. We recommend that you
check the temperature with a thermometer to make sure
that each compartment is at the desired temperature. The
refrigerator temperature ranges from 32°F to 50°F (0°C to
10°C), and the freezer temperature ranges from -10°F to
10°F (-23.3°C to -12.2°C). Adjust the temperature gradually
to let the temperature stabilize.
REFRIGERATOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
•Press SET repeatedly to cycle between the refrigerator
temperature settings. The temperature LEDs light up:
oCOLD: Warmest temperature
oCOLDER/RECOMMENDED: Recommended,
moderate temperature (factory default)
oCOLDEST: Coldest temperature
•To turn the refrigerator and freezer off or on, press and
hold SET for three seconds.
After the refrigerator has been turned off, unplugged, or
lost power, wait 3–5 minutes before turning the
refrigerator back on. If you try to turn it on before this
time, the refrigerator will not start.
FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
•Turn the freezer control knob to adjust the freezer
temperature:
oCOLD: Warmest temperature
oCOLDER/RECOMMENDED: Recommended,
moderate temperature (factory default)
oCOLDEST: Coldest temperature
•To turn the refrigerator and freezer off or on, press and
hold SET on the refrigerator temperature control for
three seconds.
STORING FOOD
When storing food in either your refrigerator or freezer
compartment:
•Let hot foods cool to room temperature before storing.
This helps prevent the internal temperature from
rising, which can result in excess electricity use and
frost formation.
•Do not overcrowd food. Instead, leave space between
items for air circulation so they can be cooled
effectively.
•To prevent cross-contamination, flavor transfer, and
moisture loss, food should be separately packed or
covered and placed on separate shelves. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
•To prevent cold air from escaping, try to limit the
number of times you open the doors. When returning
from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your
refrigerator or freezer before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.
•Do not keep food past the manufacturer’s
recommended expiration or best by date.
REFRIGERATING FOOD
When placing food in your refrigerator:
•Keep raw meats on a plate that is large enough to
collect juices and cover it with cling film or foil.
•Store cooked meats on a shelf above raw meats to
avoid bacterial transfer.
•To maintain freshness, place fruits and vegetables in
the crisper drawers to prevent excessive water
evaporation. Fruit and vegetables do not need to be
wrapped.
Some fresh fruits and vegetables are sensitive to the cold
and are not suitable for storage in the crisper drawers.

FREEZING FOOD
When placing food in your freezer:
•Make sure that you select the correct storage
containers or bags:
oDo not use glass, thin cling film, or used food
containers.
oUse special freezer bags, freezer film, plastic bags,
plastic containers, or aluminum foil to store acidic
foods (such as citrus fruits).
oConsider how you want to cook your food before
freezing it. Don’t freeze food in metal containers if
you want to microwave it straight from the
freezer.
•Remove as much air from the container or bag as
possible. If you’re freezing liquids, leave a small
amount of air space to allow for expansion.
If you want, you can buy a vacuum pump that sucks extra
air out of packaging.
•Chill food in your refrigerator before freezing, if
possible.
•Do not place unfrozen food in direct contact with food
that is already stored and frozen. Do not add too many
unfrozen items at once.
•You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if
you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew)
in square blocks. Pour the liquid into a plastic bag that
is placed inside a square-sided container. Freeze it,
then remove the bag from the container and seal the
bag.
•Do not store carbonated drinks in the freezer
compartment.
•Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible
after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet,
carefully follow these instructions regarding storage
times.
•If you place too much food in the freezer at once, the
freezing ability is reduced which affects the quality of
your frozen foods.
•If the internal temperature of frozen food rises during
maintenance or cleaning, it may shorten the storage
life of your food.
NAVIGATING POWER OUTAGES
If you lose power or your refrigerator stops working:
•After the refrigerator has been turned off, unplugged,
or lost power, wait 3–5 minutes before turning the
refrigerator back on. If you try to turn it on before this
time, the refrigerator will not start.
•Keep the doors closed as much as possible. Even in the
summer, foods inside your refrigerator can be kept for
several hours.
•Do not place additional food in your refrigerator.
•Place a water-tight container of ice in the freezer to
help keep your food cold.
•If a power outage is planned, lower your refrigerator
and freezer temperatures as much as possible an hour
before the power will go out. Do not store new food
during this time.
SAVING ENERGY
Follow these energy tips to help reduce your refrigerator’s
energy use:
•Install your refrigerator in the coolest part of the room,
out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or
registers. Do not place your refrigerator next to heat-
producing appliances such as a range, oven, or
dishwasher.
•Your refrigerator door should remain open only as long
as necessary. Organize and label food to reduce door
openings. Remove as many items as needed at one
time and close the door as soon as possible.
•Do not place hot food inside your refrigerator. Instead,
cool food to room temperature before storing.
•Make sure that your refrigerator door is properly
closed to avoid increased energy consumption, and the
formation of excess ice or condensation inside.
•Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature
homogenous inside your refrigerator. For this reason, it

17.6 CU. FT. REFRIGERATOR –USER MANUAL
13
is important to properly distribute the food and not
block air vents to facilitate the flow of air.
•Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing
them in your refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture
buildup inside your refrigerator.
•Do not line the shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making your refrigerator less efficient,
which could cause food spoilage.
MAINTAINING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
CLEANING AND CARE
•Your refrigerator has a frost-free design that doesn’t
require manual defrosting.
•Before cleaning the interior, turn off the power and
remove all foods, drinks, shelves, and drawers.
oClean your refrigerator with non-corrosive neutral
detergents and a soft cloth or sponge dipped in
water. Open the door to air dry before the power is
turned on.
oClean the freezer with clean water and a dry cloth.
Open the door to air dry before the power is turned
on.
oClean trays, shelves, and drawers with non-
corrosive neutral detergents and a soft cloth. Dry
them with a soft cloth or let them air dry.
•Wipe the outside cabinet with soapy water or detergent
and a soft cloth, then wipe dry.
•Check door seals regularly to make sure that they are
clean and free from food particles. Clean with soapy
water or diluted detergent and a soft cloth.
•Clean dust and debris behind your refrigerator and on
the ground to improve the cooling and energy savings.
•Do not use hard brushes, steel wool, wire brushes,
abrasives (such as toothpaste), organic solvents (such as
alcohol, acetone, or banana oil), boiling water, acid, or
alkaline items to clean refrigerator. These things may
damage your refrigerator surface and interior.
•Do not rinse directly with water or other liquids during
cleaning to avoid short circuits or damage to electrical
insulation.
REPLACING THE LIGHT
Your refrigerator’s LED is designed for a long life and is not
user replaceable. Contact a qualified service provider to
replace.
MOVING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
•Before your refrigerator is moved:
oTake all objects out of your refrigerator.
oSecure the shelves, drawers, and doors with tape.
oTighten the leveling feet.
•After moving or reversing the door, wait two hours
before turning on your refrigerator. This reduces the
chance of a malfunction in the cooling system from

PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Water pan
overflows
•There is too much food in the chamber or food stored contains too much water, causing heavy
defrosting. Remove excess food.
•The doors are not closed properly, causing increased water from defrosting. Move items
blocking the door or check the door seal.
Hot housing
•It is normal to have heat from the built-in condenser dissipate through the housing. If the
housing becomes too hot due to high ambient temperature, storage of too much food, or
compressor shutdown, make sure that you have good ventilation to help with heat dissipation.
Surface
condensation
•Condensation on the outside of your refrigerator and door seals is normal when the ambient
humidity is too high. Just wipe the condensate with a clean towel.
Abnormal noise
•The compressor may produce buzzes during operation, and the buzzes are loud particularly
upon start or stop. This is normal.
•Refrigerant flowing inside of the appliance may creak, which is normal.
•Make sure that your refrigerator is level.
