DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT PROPER DISPOSAL OF THIS REFRIGERATOR
Before you use the fridge, please read this owner’s manual carefully.
• This appliance is for household / 110V AC use. It is not designed for commercial or rental purposes.
• This device must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used.
• Never unplug the fridge 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.
• Unplug the fridge before cleaning or before making any repairs.
• Do not operate the fridge in the presence of explosive fumes.
• The wall outlet must be properly grounded.
• Do not use the unit in the immediate surroundings of a bath, shower, pool or standing water.
• Before discarding or storing, we recommend that you remove the door and leave the shelves in place.
This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician
perform the service.
Use of extension cords
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed (in the U.S.) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15A (minimum) and 120V.
Child entrapment and suffocation are a problem with junked or abandoned
refrigerators. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents. Take off the door, but leave the shelves
in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Installation Reversing the door swing
Before using your fridge
The temperature in the fridge will depend on:
- The temperature in the surrounding area.
- The frequency and duration when the door is open.
- Contents in the fridge
• Remove the exterior and interior packaging, including protective foam on door panels.
• Check to be sure the all parts are included.
• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during
transportation.
• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installation of your fridge
• Place your appliance on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when fully loaded. To level
your appliance, adjust the legs at the front of the appliance.
• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, which allows the proper air circula-
tion to cool the compressor.
• Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme
cold ambient temperatures may also cause
the appliance not to perform properly.
• Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly
on the evaporator.
• Plug the appliance into an exclusive properly installed grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circum-
stances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power
and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized products service
center.
WARNING!
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged,
have it replaced by an authorized products service center.

Maintenance
Cleaning
• Unplug the unit, and remove all items.
• Wash the inside and shelf with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2
tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the shelf with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the fridge should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
• It may also be necessary to periodically wipe the bottom part of the storage area, as the unit is designed
to retain humidity, and condensation may collect there.
Maintenance
• Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit
if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period
of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your contents.
Vacation Time
During long absences, remove all items; unplug, clean, and leave the door open slightly to avoid possible
formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Moving
• Remove all items.
• Securely tape down shelf.
• Turn the levelling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
