IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed
as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the
risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter,
and do not use an extension cord.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance, be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected.
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
Unplug the appliance or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so
can result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this material. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below
90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,
rain, water spray or drips.
The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
The appliance must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and
local codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make
several adjustments to level it.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may
damage or discolor the interior.
Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.

2
Risk of child entrapment!

Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Appliance:
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the unit to a power source, let it stand for approximately 2 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling
during transportation.
Remove the crisper, drip tray and shelves and clean them and the interior surfaces of
the unit with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing Your Appliance:
Place the unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the appliance when it is fully
loaded. To level the unit, adjust the two leveling legs at the front.
These models are designed to be built-in, but can also be used free-standing. For
built-in installation, keep ¼” (6.35mm) of space on each side and at the top and 2”
(51mm) at the rear. Take care that the air vent at the front of the appliance is never
covered or blocked in any way.

5
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power
cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
This appliance is supplied with spacers that have to be mounted onto the condenser
tube to make sure there is sufficient clearance between the appliance and the wall.
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator,
etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase
electrical consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the
unit's performance.
Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to
form quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer
compartment (for refrigerator-freezer models).
Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician or authorized service center.
Electrical Connection:
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power
cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left
exposed or dangling.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire

6
hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace
immediately any power cord that has become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use
a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When
moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord:
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
Reversing the Door Swing:
If you find the direction of opening the door of the appliance inconvenient, you can
change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared at the factory.
This appliance can be opened from either the right side or the left. By default, the door
hinge is on the right side. If you prefer it on the left, please follow these instructions:
1. Take off the upper hinge cover from the door and remove the screws that hold the top
hinge.
2. Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the socket in the top of the door.
3. Lift the door up and away to free its bottom socket from the hinge pin.
4. Remove the screws to the bottom hinge.
5. Remove the decorative caps from the opposite side and plug the holes from the
original side with the decorative caps.
6. Move the bottom hinge to the opposite side and tighten the screws. Use any lock
washers or nuts if they were installed in the original installation.
7. Replace door onto the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place top hinge pin into door.
Insert screws into the top hinge and tighten.
8. Check the gasket. It should not be creased and should seal well.
*NOTE: Model AR5IF requires a different hinge in order to reverse the door. Contact
our parts team at 718-893-3900 ext. 598 or email [e-mail]

Changing the Direction of Door Opening on the Low Temperature Compartment
(for Refrigerator-Freezer models):
Unscrew the blocking element and the hinge of the low temperature compartment
and take off the door.
Plug the holes with plastic caps provided.
Turn the door 180° and replace it on the opposite side of the low temperature
compartment. Fix the hinge and the blocking element of the door (position of holes
already provided).
Operating Your Appliance
Refrigerator-Freezers (Models BRF65S, ADA65S)
Temperature Control:
A unique dual evaporator system separately cools the refrigerator while keeping the
freezer at 5°F. (Ice cream and other food items in the freezer
stay frozen and free of freezer burn.)
The refrigerator temperature is controlled with a thermostat
knob located inside the unit, towards the upper right-hand
corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position
toward the higher numbers for colder temperatures. Higher
settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower
temperatures (colder) in the refrigerator.
On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots of the refrigerator compartment
may drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required or
recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a medium
setting.
Changes in the ambient temperature affect temperature in the refrigerator
compartment so choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on
ambient conditions.
In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light goes on when you
open the refrigerator door).
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment also depends on how often you
open the door.
In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, temperatures are coldest
near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best

8
not to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some
water bottles or freezer packs inside to create a load for the compressor.
NOTES:
1. For best storage, be sure not to over-pack and assure the freezer door closes fully.
2. The glass shelves are adjustable. These shelves stop short an inch before the back
wall, which is essential for air flow and the proper operation of the automatic defrost
system. Do not block these gaps.
3. The interior light on this unit is controlled by a plunger type switch, so that the light
comes on automatically when the refrigerator door is opened.
4. If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
Defrosting Your Appliance:
This appliance combines a manual defrost freezer section and an automatic defrost
refrigerator section. The refrigerator compartment defrosts itself, but when frost builds to
½ inch in the freezer compartment, defrost carefully according to this procedure:
1. Remove contents from the entire unit, taking care that frozen items do not begin to
thaw. Set the thermostat to STOP (0).
2. Unplug the appliance. Defrosting is accelerated if the doors are left open.
3. Melting ice will drain into the drip tray below the freezer compartment. Empty this as
needed.
4. Use a sponge or toweling to remove water and melting ice from the freezer floor. After
the frost or ice has melted, dry the interior of the freezer compartment thoroughly.
5. Restart the appliance by plugging it in and turning the thermostat to the desired
position. Once it is cold, return contents to the freezer and refrigerator sections.
CAUTION: Do not use boiling water or an electric device such as a hair dryer to help
speed up the defrosting process because this could damage the plastic parts of
the unit. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it
may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using a
plastic scraper.
All-Refrigerators (Models BAR63S, ADA63S, BAR61W, ADA61W)
Temperature Control:
Your appliance’s evaporator system is out of sight behind the interior rear wall.
The interior temperature is controlled with a thermostat knob
located inside the unit, towards the upper right-hand corner.
Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position toward
the higher numbers for colder temperatures. Higher settings
on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures
(colder) in the refrigerator.
On the coldest settings, temperatures in some spots inside
the cabinet may drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required
or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a
medium setting.

9
Changes in the ambient temperature affect the temperature inside the refrigerator so
choose an appropriate setting of the thermostat knob, depending on ambient
conditions.
In the STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is
switched off), yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light still works).
The temperature inside the refrigerator also depends on how often you open the
door.
In all small refrigerators without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the
bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best not to
operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some water
bottles inside to create a load for the compressor.
NOTES:
1. The glass shelves are adjustable. These shelves stop short an inch before the back
wall, which is essential for air flow and the proper operation of the automatic defrost
system. Do not block these gaps.
2. Interior lighting is controlled by a switch that is activated by the opening and closing of
the refrigerator door.
3. If the refrigerator is unplugged, has lost power or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5
minutes before restarting it. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will
not start.
Defrosting Your Appliance:
Your all-refrigerator operates with an automatic defrost system, so the refrigerator
defrosts itself. While the compressor is operating, ice will build up along the cold rear
wall (the evaporator plate is behind the wall). During the compressor’s off-cycle, ice will
melt, drip down, collect in the trough at the bottom and drain through a small hole into a
tray above the compressor; where the compressor’s heat will evaporate the water. If you
notice excessive ice build-up on the rear wall, try adjusting the thermostat to a slightly
warmer setting. Be sure that the door gasket is sealing well and that there is no
obstruction of the drain hole at the bottom rear of the interior cabinet.

10
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Appliance:
1. Unplug the appliance, turn the thermostat to STOP (0) and remove all contents,
including shelves, drip tray and crisper.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of lukewarm water and vinegar. Wipe dry
with a clean, soft cloth.
3. Wash the shelves, drip tray and crisper with a mild detergent solution, then rinse and
dry thoroughly.
4. Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and
wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the
temperature control or any electrical parts.
6. From time to time, wipe the condenser on the rear wall with a soft
non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
7. After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the power
supply, reset the thermostat and return all contents to their place.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or
personal injury.
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, you need to take the proper steps
to protect your frozen and chilled items.
Vacations:
During long absences, remove all contents. Unplug the appliance, clean it and leave the
doors open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.
Moving Your Appliance:
1. Remove the contents.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
3. Turn the leveling legs up to the base to avoid damage.
4. Tape the door shut.
5. Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
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 direct sunlight.
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot.
Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.
Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on
how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).
Before loading items into the unit, be sure they have cooled to ambient temperature.
A layer of frost and ice increases energy consumption, so defrost the freezer as soon
as the layer is 1/2" thick.

11
Troubleshooting
When using this appliance, you may come across some problems that in many cases
result from improper handling and can easily be eliminated.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The appliance fails to operate after being connected to the power source.
Check whether the power supply is active and that the thermostat is not set to the
STOP (0) position.
The compressor is running continuously.
The door was opened frequently or it was left open too long.
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be dirty or
damaged).
The power supply has been interrupted for a long period of time.
The appliance may have been overloaded with items above room temperature.
There may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser. (Assure
there is adequate air circulation behind the appliance and wipe the dust from the
condenser.)
Noise
Cooling in refrigeration appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with
compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it
is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is.
During the operation of the compressor, the noise of liquid is heard and when
the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal
condition and has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance.
After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant
flow may be louder. This does not mean that something is wrong. Gradually
the noise is reduced.
Sometimes a louder noise is heard, which is unusual for the appliance. This
noise is often a consequence of improper placement of the unit. (The unit
should be placed and leveled firmly on a solid base and it should not touch the
wall or cabinets standing next to it.)

Instructions d’installation
Avant d'utiliser votre appareil :
Retirez l'emballage extérieur et intérieur.
Avant de connecter l’appareil à une source d’alimentation, laissez-le reposer environ
2 heures. Cela réduira les risques de dysfonctionnement du système de
refroidissement lors du transport.
Retirez le bac à légumes, le plateau d'égouttage et les étagères et nettoyez-les ainsi
que les surfaces intérieures de l'appareil à l'eau tiède à l'aide d'un chiffon doux.
Installation de vore appareil :
Placez l'appareil sur un sol suffisamment résistant pour supporter l'appareil lorsqu'il
est complètement chargé. Pour mettre l'appareil à niveau, ajustez les deux pieds de
mise à niveau à l'avant.

Une mauvaise utilisation de la fiche mise à la terre peut entraîner un risque de choc
électrique. Si le cordon d'alimentation est endommagé, faites-le remplacer par le
fabricant, son agent de service ou des personnes de qualification similaire pour éviter
tout risque.
Ces modèles sont conçus pour être intégrés, mais peuvent également être utilisés de
manière autonome. Pour une installation intégrée, conservez un espace de ¼ ”
(6.35mm) de chaque côté et en haut et 2” (51mm) à l'arrière. Veillez à ce que l'évent
situé à l'avant de l'appareil ne soit jamais recouvert ni bloqué.
Cet appareil est fourni avec des entretoises qui doivent être montées sur le tube du
condenseur pour assurer un dégagement suffisant entre l'appareil et le mur.
Placez l'appareil à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil et des sources de chaleur
(four, appareil de chauffage, radiateur, etc.). La lumière directe du soleil peut affecter
le revêtement acrylique et les sources de chaleur peuvent augmenter la
consommation électrique. Des températures ambiantes extrêmement basses peuvent
également affecter les performances de l'appareil.
Évitez de placer l’appareil dans des zones humides. Une trop grande humidité dans
l'air provoquera rapidement la formation de givre sur l'évaporateur, ce qui nécessitera
un dégivrage plus fréquent du compartiment congélateur (pour les modèles
réfrigérateur-congélateur).
Branchez l’appareil dans une prise murale exclusive, correctement installée et mise à
la terre. Toute question relative à l'alimentation et / ou à la mise à la terre doit être
adressée à un électricien agréé ou à un centre de service agréé.
Connexion électrique :
Cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre pour votre sécurité. Le cordon
d'alimentation de cet appareil est équipé d'une fiche à trois broches qui s'adapte à une
prise murale standard à trois broches afin de minimiser les risques de choc électrique.
En aucun cas, ne coupez ou ne retirez la troisième broche de terre du cordon
d’alimentation fourni. Pour votre sécurité personnelle, cet appareil doit être correctement
mis à la terre.
Cet appareil nécessite une prise électrique standard de 115 volts CA / 60Hz avec une
terre à trois broches. Faites vérifier la prise murale et le circuit par un électricien qualifié
pour vous assurer que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Lorsque vous
AVERTISSEMENT

18
rencontrez une prise murale standard à 2 broches, il vous incombe de la faire remplacer
par une prise murale à 3 broches correctement mise à la terre.
Pour éviter toute blessure accidentelle, le cordon doit être sécurisé derrière l'appareil et
ne pas être exposé ou pendu.
L'unité doit toujours être branchée sur sa propre prise électrique individuelle dont la
tension nominale correspond à celle indiquée sur l'appareil. Ceci fournit les meilleures
performances et évite également la surcharge des circuits de câblage de la maison qui
pourraient causer un risque d'incendie dû à la surchauffe des fils. Ne débranchez jamais
l'appareil en tirant sur le cordon d'alimentation. Saisissez toujours fermement la fiche et
sortez-la du réceptacle. Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon
d'alimentation effiloché ou autrement endommagé. N'utilisez pas de cordon présentant
des fissures ou des dommages dus à l'abrasion sur toute sa longueur ou à l'une de ses
extrémités. Veillez à ne pas endommager le cordon d'alimentation lors du déplacement
de l'appareil.
Rallonge :
N'utilisez pas de rallonge avec cet appareil. Si le cordon d'alimentation est trop court,
demandez à un électricien qualifié ou à un technicien de service d'installer une prise
près de l'appareil.
Inverser la porte battante :
Si vous trouvez que le sens d’ouverture de la porte de l’appareil est gênant, vous
pouvez le changer. Des trous du côté opposé ont déjà été préparés à l'usine.
Cet appareil peut être ouvert à droite ou à gauche. Par défaut, la charnière de la porte
se trouve du côté droit. Si vous le préférez à gauche, veuillez suivre ces instructions:
1. Retirez le cache de la charnière supérieure de la porte et retirez les vis qui
maintiennent la charnière supérieure.
2. Soulevez la charnière pour libérer l’axe de la charnière de la prise située en haut
de la porte.
3. Soulevez la porte et dégagez-la pour dégager sa prise inférieure de l'axe de la
charnière.
4. Retirez les vis de la charnière inférieure.
5. Retirez les bouchons décoratifs du côté opposé et bouchez les trous du côté
original avec les bouchons décoratifs.
6. Déplacez la charnière inférieure du côté opposé et serrez les vis. Utilisez des
rondelles de blocage ou des écrous s’ils ont été installés dans l’installation
originale.
7. Replacez la porte sur l'axe de la charnière sur la charnière inférieure. Placez
l’axe de charnière supérieur dans la porte. Insérez les vis dans la charnière
supérieure et serrez.
8. Vérifiez le joint. Il ne devrait pas être froissé et devrait bien sceller.
