IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this
appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the
following:
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use
and care guide.
2. This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in
the installation section.
3. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always
grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting
your refrigerator.
7. If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you
remove the doors and leave the shelving in place. This will reduce the
possibility of danger to children.
8. 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.
9. 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

English

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."
10. This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed
cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
11. Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the
accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on.
Installion Limitations
•Do not install in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your unit was not
designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location 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.
• If needed use the 2 leveling legs located at the bottom of the unit to level the refrigerator. Adjust legs
by turning to raise or lower the refrigerator.
• This model is designed for free standing installation. It should not be built-in.
Proper Air Circulation
• To assure your unit 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......................................2" (50mm)
Back....................................2" (50mm)
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to
power the unit.
• 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 unit and may
result in shock hazard.
Use of Extension Cord
• 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 appliance.
Energy Saving Tips
• Do not place your refrigerator next to a heating vent, a range, or in direct sunlight.
• Do not open door more often than necessary.
• Keep the door closed as much as possible, especially in hot and humid weather.
• Cover foods to reduce moisture build up inside the refrigerator.
• Store only foods that require refrigeration.
• For proper air circulation, do not overfill your refrigerator shelves.
