BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove all packaging and labels. If there is any glue residue rub a small
amount of liquid dish soap with your fingers then wipe with warm water.
Dry. NOTE: DO NOT use any sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue.
2. Follow the instructions in the ‘Care and Cleaning’ section.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove all packaging.
2. Let the refrigerator stand upright for approximately 2 hours before plugging
in to the power source. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system from handling during transportation.
3. This refrigerator is designed to be free standing. It was not designed for
recessed or enclosed area installation.
4. Place your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the
refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
5. Locate the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and sources of heat
(stove, heater, radiator, etc). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating
and heat sources may decrease cooling efficiency.
6. Ensure there is a minimum 20 cm (8”) clearance on both sides, 10 cm (4”)
at the back wall and 30 cm (12”) above the unit for proper air circulation.
NOTE: If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
sufficient space on the hinge side to allow for the door to swing open.
7. Level the refrigerator by adjusting the legs at the front. Turn the Leg
clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn counterclockwise
to lower that side. While adjusting the Legs, have someone push against
the top of the refrigerator to take some weight off the front leveling legs.
NOTE: If the unit is not leveled the door(s) may not close or seal properly
causing cooking, frost or moisture problems.

8. DO NOT use in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage
etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperatures below
12.8°C (55°F). In extreme cold ambient temperatures the refrigerator will
not perform properly. Avoid locating the refrigerator in damp or moist areas.
Excessive moisture may cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator. This
would require more frequent defrosting of the refrigerator.
9. Make sure all shelves and other parts listed in the ‘Description of Parts’
section are in place.
10. Once the refrigerator has been plugged in, allow the refrigerator’s interior
to cool for 2-3 hours before putting food into the compartments.

1. Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and empty everything from
the refrigerator door and shelves.
2. Remove the two screws and washer that hold the bottom hinge to the
cabinet. Keep screws and washers for later use.
3. Carefully lower the refrigerator door straight down to free the middle
hinge pin from the socket on the top of the door and pull forward.
4. Place the door on a padded surface to prevent scratching it.

or sponge dampened in a warm water and baking soda solution,
30 ml (2 tbsp) baking soda to 1 litre/quart of water.
3. Wash the shelf with mild detergent.

Defrosting the Freezer
1. Defrost when the freezer frost exceeds 1 cm (0.4”) thick.
2. CAUTION
•DO NOT use boiling water; this could damage the plastic parts.
•DO NOT use sharp or metallic instruments to remove frost as it
could damage the cooling coils and may void the warranty. Use only
the plastic scrapper provided with the refrigerator.
3. Remove frozen food from freezer and keep cold.
4. Turn thermostat dial to “OFF”; then wait 30-40 minutes.
5. Keep drip tray in place, the defrosting process can take a few hours.

dial to the previous temperature.
Evaporator Drip Tray

unit. It can easily be removed by pulling the handle forward.
2. When replacing the drip tray, insert it horizontally into the holes.
3. If not properly installed, water could enter the compressor causing the
refrigerator to not function properly.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Locate the refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances and out of direct sunlight.
2. Let hot foods cool before putting into refrigerator.
3. Overloading the refrigerator causes the compressor to run longer, and
uses more electricity.
4. Reduce door openings and extended searches, remove as many items as
required at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
5. Do not line the vegetable crisper with paper towels, foil or wax paper;
this will interfere with cooling making the refrigerator less efficient.
