which will reduce the possibility of the cooling system malfunctioning due to improper
handling.

zUse the parts diagram on page 4 to insure proper positioning of internal components.
Tips for Energy Savings
zKeep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible, particularly in warm /
humid conditions.
zMaintain adequate ventilation around the back and sides of the unit.
zMaintain a thermostat setting of between “3” and “5” under normal use.
zAllow warm food to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator or freezer.

is1/4” thick.

Important Safety Instructions
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
zTake off the doors.
zLeave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside the unit.
zThe appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See: “HOW TO INSTALL”).
zDo not use an extension cord as this can negatively affect the performance of the unit.
zDo not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet hands,
because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.
zDo not freeze bottled liquids such as carbonated soft drink, beer, wine, etc. Doing so can
cause glass bottles and aluminum cans to rupture.
zIf the unit fails to cool properly, dispose of spoiled food as needed.
zAll repairs should be made by a qualified service technician. Repairs made by non-qualified
personnel will void the warranty.
zDo not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer, etc.) and never scrape the
ice or frost layer with sharp tools.

HOW TO OPERATE
Starting Your New Refrigerator
1. Clean the refrigerator thoroughly. Wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth, the interior with a
clean moist cloth.
2. Insert the power supply cord into the socket.
3. Turn the thermostat dial to “7”. Close the doors and let the refrigerator operate for 15-20
minutes.
4. Reduce the thermostat to a mid-range setting between “3” and “5” on the thermostat control.
Temperature Control
To control the internal temperature, adjust the
thermostat dial. “1” is the warmest setting. “7”
is the coldest.
The Dial may be set any place on the scale. It
does not have to be set exactly on a number.
To make ice cubes in the freezer
compartment, adjust the thermostat to the
coldest setting.
Note: Wait 3-5 minutes before restarting if you unplug the refrigerator. The unit may fail to
operate properly if restarted too quickly.
How To Defrost
Defrost the refrigerator when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 1/4” thick.
To defrost, simply push the defrost button. Be sure to keep the drain pan in place. Defrosting
usually takes a few hours. The refrigerator will restart automatically when defrosting ends. Empty
water from the drain pan after defrosting.
Never use a knife or other sharp metal instrument to scrape ice / frost from the inside of the
unit.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WHAT TO DO …
When the fridge is not in use for a prolonged period:
zRemove the plug from the outlet.
zRemove all contents from the fridge.
zDry the interior and leave the door open for a few days.
When you wish to move the fridge:
zSecure all movable parts and contents. (Package them separately if necessary.)
zTransport the fridge only in an upright position. In any other position you may damage the
compressor.
Before calling service, please follow the checklist below.
This may save you an expensive service call.
If the refrigerator is not cooling properly:
zCheck to see that the door is closing properly and the door seal is not damaged.
zCheck that the interior circulation is not obstructed by having too many goods stored. (The
fridge is overloaded)
zDid you store anything hot, without first cooling it to room temperature?
zIs there sufficient clearance around all sides and above the fridge?
If the fridge starts making any unusual noises:
zIs it wobbling? Re-level the unit and check if it now operates normally.
zHave any objects fallen behind the fridge? If so, remove them and check if operation is now
normal.
zAre any containers inside the fridge vibrating or resonating? If so, rearrange them then check
to see if operation has returned to normal.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. 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 receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120V, 10A, or more. If a grounding adapter is
used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
