Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this
appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the follow-
ing:
1)
2)
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use
and care guide.
This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the

9)
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always
grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
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 performs the service.
Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your
refrigerator.
If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove
the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
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.
Do not refreeze foods, which 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 thawed if they
still contain ice crystals or if they are still 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 eating 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 foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality
as you can."

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.
Adjusting Your Refrigerator
Leveling Your Refrigerator:
,, Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the
front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your
refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
,, Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your
refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower
your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the
leveling legs are raised.
Proper Air Circulation
, To assure 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 ............... 3/4 "(19mm)
Top.................... 1" (25mm)
Back .................. 1" (25mm)

Electrical Requirement
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 Cords
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 appli-
ance.
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.

Food Storage Information
Fresh Food
When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or
store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of
odors and tastes.
,, Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
,, Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to
maximize shelf life.
,, Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in a crisper set for low
humidity. If you do not have humidity controlled crispers place the items
in sealed plastic bags before storing in the crisper.
,, Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers and
stored in crisper with low humidity setting.
,, Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in
plastic bags or containers in crisper with high humidity setting.
,, Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
,, Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.
,, When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original
packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for
safe storage:
,, Chicken 1-2 Days
,, Ground Beef 1-2 Days
,, Cold Cuts 3-5 Days
,, Steaks/Roasts 3-5 Days
,, Smoked/Cured Meats 7-10 Days
,, All others 1-2 Days
If longer periods of storage are required, store immediately in the freezer
section.
