2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TO ENSURE THAT YOU GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR NEW FREEZER/REFRIGERATOR, PLEASE TAKE
TIME TO FOLLOW THESE INITIALS STEPS.
A. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND CLEARANCE
We recommended to use a separate electrical circuit serving only this appliance. Do not use an
extension.
• This appliance is designed to be FREE STANDING ONLY, and should not be recessed or built-in.
Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Allocate 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance space on each side of the unit, 4 inches (10 cm ) in the
back , and 12 inches (30 cm ) on top to allow the proper air circulation.
• 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 unit not to perform
properly.
• Install the unit where the room temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 43°C (110°F)
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
• Plug the unit into a dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances 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 Service Center.
•
Do not plug in this unit using an electric cord extension or adaptor.

B. UNPACKING AND CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Removetape and any labels from your fridge before using (except the rating label).
• Do not usesharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to
removetape or glue. Theseproducts can damage the surfaceof your refrigerator.
• Clean your unit before usage: use a sponge, clothor paper towel and mild detergent in warm
water to clean outside and inside, door liner and gasket. Rinseand dry thoroughly.
• Do not switch on the fridge immediately after vertical placement. Turnit on after a 6 hours
period to ensure proper operation.
• If used as a freezer allow the unit to cool 2 to 3 hours before filling it with frozen food.

C.LEVELLING
If the unit is not leveled the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture
problems. It is very important of the fridge to be level in order to function properly.
To level your unit, turn the level leg clockwise to rise the side to the fridge or counter clockwise to lower it.

Re-press and hold form 3 sec. “A”to convert back the unit to a refrigerator
mode .
FREEZER USAGE
When using the unit as a freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the temperature control to
set MAX for at least two to three hours before introducing the food to be stored. Let the freezer cool
overnight before adding large amounts of unfrozen food. Never add more than 2-3 pounds of unfrozen
food per cubic foot of freezer space.
All frozen food products you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid the
frozen food from defrosting.
To obtain the best possible results from your unit , it is important that you know how the mechanism
works:
• This unit is designed for long-term frozen food storage. However, we recommend a storage
period not exceeding three months.
• The shelf life of frozen food varies and recommended storage time should not be
exceeded.
• Pre-packaged frozen food commercially should be retained in accordance with the
recommendations of the manufacturer.
• Place the frozen food in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Carefully follow the
instructions on the package for the storage time.
Please note that if you switch from freezer mode to refrigerator mode, you’ll have to
completely unfreeze the appliance and wait for the temperature to be back to cooling
settings before using it again.
10

DEFROSTING
This appliance is equipped with a “Frost Free”type cooling system, which means it never has to be
manually defrosted. Defrosting is done automatically by means of a defrost heating element and a defrost
timer that will cycle on and off as the appliance operates. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan
located beside the compressor, where it then evaporates.
4. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR UNIT
Upon installation of your new appliance, it is recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
1. Remove all contents and unplug the appliance
2. Use a clean sponge or soft and a mild detergent in warm water.
3. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly. Do not
use cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleaners containing petroleum on plastics
and rubber parts. Never use paper towels, window sprays, scouring cleansers or flammable fluids on
plastic parts as these can scratch or damage material. Clean with a cloth soaked in this solution and
then dry with a soft cloth.
4. It is recommended that the unit be cleaned each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit odor
free and running efficiently.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance won’t be used for several months
1.Remove all food.
2.Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet.
3.Clean the appliance thoroughly.
4.Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or odors
POWER FAILURE
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the door is kept closed. This
will help food to stay fresh or frozen.
If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours remove all frozen food and find an alternate solution
MOVING YOUR UNIT
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside.
• Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Be sure the unit stays in the upright positionduring transportation.
11

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the unit. Overloading forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that need to freeze may lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the unit. This cuts down
on frost build-up inside.
Storage bins or shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the unit less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

2.INSTALLATION
AVANT DE METTRE VOTRE APPAREIL EN MARCHE, LIRE ET SUIVRE CES ÉTAPES INITIALES
IMPORTANTES .
A.ÉLECTRICITÉ, MISE À LA TERRE ET DÉGAGEMENT
Il est nécessaire de brancher l’appareil à un circuit unique, mise à la terre, ne desservant que cet
appareil.
Ne jamais utiliser de rallonge électrique.
• Cet appareil doit être installé de façon indépendante SEULEMENT. (Ne pas
encastré) Il doit être placé sur une surface solide qui en supportera le poids une
fois rempli.
• Afin de permettre une circulation d’air adéquate assurez-vous d’avoir un
dégagement d’au moins 10 cm (4 pouces) sur chaque côté, de 10cm (4 pouces)
à l’arrière et de 30 cm (12 pouces) au- dessus de votre appareil.
• Placez l’appareil à l’abri des rayons du soleil et de sources de chaleur
(four, radiateur). Une exposition directe à la lumière du soleil peut affecter le
revêtement acrylique de l’appareil et les sources de chaleur peuvent en faire
augmenter la consommation d’électricité.
• Des températures ambiantes extrêmement froides peuvent aussi causer des
problèmes de fonctionnement. Installez l’appareil dans un endroit où la
température ambiante se situe entre 0° C (32°F) et 43 °C (110°F).
Branchez l’appareil seul dans une prise murale mise à la terre. Le cordon d'alimentation
de l'appareil est muni d'une fiche à trois broches avec mise à la terre pour vous protéger
contre les chocs électriques. L’unité doit être branchée directement dans une prise
électrique à 3 broches avec mise à la terre.
