Cyclopentane or pentane as gas for insulation and R600a as refrigerant. Insulation gases and refrigerant require a special
elimination process. This product contains flam-mable insulation and refrigerant.
DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed. The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in your Bulletin of
Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes that:
“...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)”.
“...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be frozen or consumed.
Consumption of melted ice cream should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is questionable, discard it. The food
may be dangerous to consume”.
“Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.
The quality of red meat is less affected than that of other foods. Use refrozen products as soon as possible in order to
maintain their quality”.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
*Refrigerant type is indicated in the label inside your refrigerator, this warning apply just for models with
R600a refrigerant.
•This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), but it is also combustible. When
transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating
circuit are damaged.
•If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance is used should correspond to the amount of refrigerant used. The room
must be 1 m² in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
•When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
•Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer

This appliance is not intended for use by children, persons with physical or mental disabilities, persons with reduced
sensory or mental capacity, or persons that lack experience or know-how, unless they have supervision or instruction
in relation to the use of the appliance by the person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
assure that they do not play with the appliance.
Children becoming trapped or suffocated is not
a problem of the past. Discarded and abandoned
refrigerators are a hazard, even if they remain there
“for just a few days”. If you would like to dispose of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
below to prevent any accidents.
BEFORE DISPOSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER WHEN NO LONGER IN USE:
Remove the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children
cannot easily become stuck in them.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
uses CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC affects the
stratospheric layer of the ozone.
If you decide to throw out your old refrigerator, ensure
that CFC contaminants are properly disposed of by a
qualified professional. If you intentionally remove the
CFC refrigerant, you could be subject to fines or prison
in accordance with environmental legislation in effect.
IMPORTANT: Attentively read the following.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own
outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current
should only be
220-240 V ~ 50/ 60 Hz, AC (according to
This provides the best performance and prevents an
overload which could cause a fire from the overheating
of the cables. It is recommended that a separate circuit
be used for this appliance, as well as a receptacle that
cannot be disconnected with a switch.
It is your responsibility and obligation to replace two-
prong outlets with that of an adequately grounded three-
prong outlet.
Do not, under any circumstance, cut or extract the third
prong from the plug.
NOTE: Before installation, cleaning or replacing LED
lamp, you must disconnect the appliance from the

4.Replace the Top Hinge Cover.
CLOSING THE DOORS AND LEVELING
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If necessary,
adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness
of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing.
The refrigerator has two front leveling legs, one on
the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unstable or if you would like the doors to close more
easily, simply adjust the tilt of the refrigerator by
following the instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator into a 3 prong grounded outlet.
Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs.
This will make it easier to adjust the level.
3.Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If they don't, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling legs
to the left. It may take several more turns, and you
should extend both
legs theamount.
Use an 11/16” (18 mm) wrench or an adjustable
wrench to adjust the leveling legs, turn the leveling
legs to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or
to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the
leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

12
ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to obtain stable temperature, the air must flow
between the freezer and refrigerator sections. As shown
in the illustration below, the cold air enters through
the bottom part and circulates upward. This air returns
below the freezer floor and the rest of the air enters the
refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents with packages of food.
This can interrupt the flow of air and cause temperature
and moisture problems.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer
to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to
eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out
of food, make sure you wrap or cover foods tightly (See
the “Food Storage Guide” section for details).
NOTE: If you close the fresh food
compartment door applying
more force than necessary,
freezer door may get open and
close again, due internal air flow
of refrigerator.
ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS
Your refrigerator has two controls that allow you to
regulate the temperature the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
Refrigerator Control
Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle
setting (number 3). To do so, press the TEMPERATURE
ADJUST button until it reaches the middle position
(the third LED turns ON). Leave the refrigerator on this
setting for 24 hours to reach the correct temperature.
After 24 hours, adjust the compartment temperature
as you desire. ALWAYS wait 24 hours before you adjust
the temperature. If you want to set the refrigerator
compartment temperature to a warmer temperature
than the current, continue pressing the TEMPERATURE
ADJUST button until it reaches the desired temperature.
Demo Mode (For Store Use Only)
Demo Mode disables all cooling in the refrigerator and
freezer sections to conserve energy while on display in
a retail store. When activated, OFF will display on the
control panel.
To deactivate:
Press the TEMPERATURE ADJUST button until your
desired temperature setting is reached. The OFF light
will turn off once the Demo Mode is deactivated.
Freezer Control
The freezer control should come from factory on the
middle setting (number 3). Wait 24 hours before
adjusting the freezer compartment temperature. Roll
the knob to set the freezer temperature as you desire.
ALWAYS wait 24 hours after any adjustment to reach the
desired temperature.
NOTE: Setting at higher number
of the freezer compartment, the
temperature of freezer compartment
becomes colder.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATORUSING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

13
ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding
food to the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is cold to your liking and ice cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for
the entire appliance. The higher the number setting, the
longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature
colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from
the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control
to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer
compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator
or freezer, begin by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait
24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the
freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then
adjust the freezer control as well.
Use the settings listed in the table below as a guide.

WARNING
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not use flammable cleaners. Not following these
instructions can cause death, explosion or fire.
The refrigerator, as well as the freezer, do their own
de-freezing. This process does not prevent the build
up of contaminants, therefore it is suggested that you
clean both parts once a month; clean spilled liquids
immediately.
REFRIGERATOR CLEANING
Unplug your refrigerator.
Pull out all of the removable parts (such as the
vegetable and dairy doors).
Use a clean sponge (or a soft rag) and use it with
lukewarm water mixed with detergent. Do not use
abrasive or concentrated cleaners.
Hand wash it, and dry it thoroughly.
Plug the refrigerator back in.
OUTSIDE
NOTE: Avoid the usage of chemical products that
contain phosphates or bleach.
INSIDE (Allow freezer to slightly warm up a small
degree to prevent cloth from sticking)
In order to eliminate bad odors, clean the inside of
the refrigerator with a mixture of baking powder and
lukewarm water (one teaspoon of baking powder per cup
of water). Ensure that the powder dissolves thoroughly, in
order to prevent any sort of damage.
DOOR LINING AND GASKETS
Use only a mild detergent (such as dish soap).
PLASTIC PARTS (Covers and Panels)
Do not use abrasive, paper or rough products. These
could damage the product.
BACK COVER
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Before you begin, either unplug the refrigerator or turn
off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
NOTE: Back Cover should only be
removed by a qualified technician.
In order to get an efficient
performance of your refrigerator,
clean the back cover of it at least
twice a year.
REPLACING REFRIGERATOR LIGHTS
The refrigerator and freezer compartment lights are
LED interior lighting, and service should be performed
by a qualified technician.

REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
1. In case of a black out, call your electric company and
ask how long it will last.
2.In case of a 24 hour or less black out, do not open the
refrigerator; this will keep the food fresh.
3.In case of a longer black out, do one of the following
options:
Pull out all of the frozen food and keep them in an ice
chest.
Put 2 lbs (907 g) of frozen ice (make sure you use
gloves) for each square foot (28 L) inside the freezer.
This task will preserve the food fro 2 to 4 days.
In case you do not possess neither ice chest or dry ice,
consume your food as soon as possible.
REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays cold
longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of meat
stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If
you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be safely
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected.
If the condition of the food is poor or if you feel it unsafe,
dispose of it.
WHEN GOING ON VACATION
If you decide to leave your refrigerator on when going
away, consider these steps:
1. Consume all of the perishable items and freeze the
rest.
2.Empty the ice bin.
If you decide to leave your refrigerator off:
1. Remove all of the food.
2.Unplug your refrigerator.
3.Clean and dry it well.
4.Make sure the doors stay open (use blocks or tape) in
order to prevent bad odors and fungi from happening.

WHEN MOVING
If you decide to take your refrigerator with you when
moving, consider the following:
1. Remove all of the food from it, and place the frozen
food in an ice chest with dry ice.
2.Unplug your refrigerator.
3.Empty the water from its tray.
4.Clean and dry it with a rag.
5.Pull out all of the removable parts, and wrap them with
adhesive tape.
6.Depending on the model of the refrigerator, lift the top
part of the refrigerator so it can roll with ease, or screw
the levelers so it won´t scratch the floor. Consult to the
section “Closing and Aligning Doors”.
7. Keep the doors closed with the cable glued to the
refrigerator cabinet with an adhesive tape.
When your refrigerator arrives to your home, put
everything back into place and read the section
“Refrigerator Installation” in order to obtain installation
preparation.

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one did not make. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces, like the floor, walls and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following
describes the kinds of sounds you may hear and what may be causing them.
Clicking:
The defrost control will click when the automatic defrost
cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or
refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also
click when cycling on and off.
Rattling:
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
Whooshing:
refrigerator and freezer compartments.
fan.
the refrigerator when the doors are open.
Gurgling:
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound
caused by the refrigerant flowing through the cooling
system.
Popping:
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls.
Sizzling:
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost
cycle.
Vibrating Noise:
If the side or back of the refrigerator is touching a
cabinet or wall, some of the normal vibrations may make
an audible sound. To eliminate the noise, make sure that
the sides and back cannot vibrate against any wall or
cabinet.
Dripping:
Water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
Pulsating or High-Pitched Sound:
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to
keep your food items at the desired temperature.
The high efficiency compressor may cause your
new refrigerator to run longer than your old one,
but is still more energy efficient than previous models.
While the refrigerator is running, it is normal to hear
a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Problem Possible Causes Solutions
