lukewarm wet cloth.
• Place the appliance on a fl oor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater,as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.
• Do not use the appliance near water, for example in a wet basement or near a sink.
• This appliance is intended for indoor household only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature
controlled such as porches,vehicles, etc.
• Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
• This appliance is 71.0 cm (27.95 inches) wide by 172.8cm (68.03 inches) high by 70.9 cm(27.89 inches) deep. Make sure that you leave the
minimum amount of space between the appliance and all surrounding walls and vents.Do not cover any of the ventilation openings with any
material as the appliance needs adequate space to breathe.
• Allow 12.7 cm (5 inches) of space between the back, sides and top of the appliance and all adjacent walls.
• This appliance is intended for free-standing installation only and is not intended to be built into a cabinet or counter. Building in this
appliance can cause it to malfunction.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
There are two adjustable legs on the bottom of the appliance that can be turned up or down to ensure that the appliance is level.
1. Turn the leveling leg counter-clockwise as far as it will go, until the top
of the foot is touching the bottom of the chassis.
2. Slowly turn the leveling leg clockwise until theappliance is level.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
appliance 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, take the proper steps to protect your contents.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
DEFROST
This unit is equipped with an automatic defrost function and does not require manual defrosting.Defrost water
from the appliance is channeled into a drip tray located above the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor
causes the defrost water to evaporate.
VACATION
• Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn
off the appliance. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth,
leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.

The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances,
and out of direct sunlight. Do not overload the unit or block any ventilation openings.
MOVING
• Remove all items.
• Tape the door shut.
• Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the
outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.

Checking the compressor accessory
Compressor Protector test ——
Use a multi-meter to test the resistance between the two end as the pic show :
If there show 000 or almost 0 then it is OK.
If there is no response then it is broken.

Checking the compressor accessory
Compressor PTC starter test ——
Use a multi-meter to test the resistance between the two end as the pic show
If there show the number is between about 3.5-5.8 then it is OK.
If there show 000 or no response then it is broken.
After the replacement of the PTC and OLP,
the compressor still does not start.
If there is no exhaust, the compressor is fault.
