SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this
appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the
following:
1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use
and care guide.
2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the
installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the
installation section.
3) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always
grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
5) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly
recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your
refrigerator.
7) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove
the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of
danger to children.
8) After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in
the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin
may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
9) Do not refreeze foods which have been thawed completely. The United
States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69
reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they
still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F.“
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or
off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice
cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or
questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.“
“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of
foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating
quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality
as you can.“

Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and
all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside an outside.
Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to secure the
compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials
before powering on the refrigerator.
Adjusting Your Refrigerator
Leveling Your Refrigerator:
• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the
front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your
refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise
your refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator.
The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are raised.
Proper Air Circulation
• To ensure that your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was
designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the
refrigerator:
Sides……………3/4" (19mm)
Top....................1" (25mm)
Back..................1" (25mm)
Installing Your Refrigerator

EnglishEnglish
Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)
with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three-plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding
in order to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice
since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may
result in shock hazard.
Installation Limitations
• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or
heated, e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate
in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should
be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of
the refrigerator.
Use of Extension Cords
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions. 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 outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of
the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating
of the appliance.

General Features
Adjustable temperature dial:
Your refrigerator will automatically
maintain the temperature level you
select. The temperature control dial
has 7 settings plus off. 1 is the warmest.
7 is the coldest. Turning the dial to OFF
stops cooling in both the refrigeration
and freezer sections. At first, set the
dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass
before adjusting the temperature to
your needs.
To adjust the temperature range in the
cold setting, turn the temperature dial
in a clockwise direction. For normal
operating conditions, keep the dial
halfway between cold and coldest. For
your convenience, the factory presets the
control at normal operating conditions.
(Note: If the refrigerator has
been placed in a horizontal or
tilted position for any period
of time wait 24 hours before
plugging the unit in.)
Refrigerator Section
Interior Light:
Your refrigerator is equipped with an
interior light in the fresh food section for
you to easily locate your food.
Your freezer compartment is equipped
with adjustable airflow control. For
your convenience, airflow is preset by
the factory to the colder setting. There
is also an option to adjust the settings,
either to cold or to coldest.
Your refrigerator may be equipped with
slide control to raise or lower the
humidity levels or your crispers. This
feature will increase the storage life of
your fruits and vegetables. Simply adjust
the controls to the appropriate setting
for setting for items you are storing in
the crispers. Low settings allow moist air
to exit the crisper, for optimum storage
of fruit and/or vegetables that have
skins. High settings retains moist air in
the crisper, for optimum storage of fresh
vegetables.

MESURES DE SECURITE
Lire l’ensemble des instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil. Lors de l’utilisation
de cet appareil, prendre toutes les mesures de sécurité de base, y compris
les suivantes:
1) N’utiliser cet appareil que pour l’usage pour lequel il est prévu, tel qu’il
est indiqué dans le guide d’utilisation et d’entretien.
2) Ce réfrigérateur doit être correctement installé conformément aux
instructions d’installation avant d’être utilisé. Consulter les instructions de
mise à la terre du chapitre Installation.
3) Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon d’alimentation pour débrancher le
réfrigérateur. Toujours saisir fermement la fiche et la retirer
complètement de la prise.
4) Réparer ou remplacer immédiatement tout cordon électrique effiloché ou
endommagé d’une quelconque manière. Ne pas utiliser un cordon fissuré,
abrasé ou dont la prise ou le connecteur est endommagé.
5) Débrancher le réfrigérateur avant de le nettoyer ou d’effectuer des
réparations. Remarque: Si ce produit doit faire l’objet d’une
maintenance pour quelque raison que ce soit, il est vivement
recommandé de confier cette tâche à un technicien agréé.
6) Ne pas utiliser d’appareils électriques ou d’objets pointus pour dégivrer le
réfrigérateur.
7) Si vous n’avez plus l’usage de votre ancien réfrigérateur,
nous vous conseillons d’en retirer les portes et laissons les étagères
dans leur emplacement approprié. Ceci permet d’éviter tout danger
potentiel pour les enfants.
8) Une fois le réfrigérateur en fonctionnement, ne pas toucher les surfaces
froides du compartiment de congélation, en particulier avec des mains
mouillées ou humides. La peau risquerait d’adhérer à ces surfaces
extrêmement froides.
9) Ne pas recongeler les aliments qui ont été complètement décongelés. Le
bulletin Maisons et Jardins du Ministère de l’Agriculture des États-Unis n°
69 stipule que: “ ...Les aliments congelés peuvent être recongelés en toute
sécurité s’ils contiennent toujours des cristaux de glace ou si leur
température reste inférieure à 4,5°C“.
“ …Les viandes hachées, la volaille et le poisson présentant une odeur
désagréable ou une couleur suspecte ne doivent ni être recongelés, ni être
consommés. La crème glacée dégelée doit être jetée. Tout aliment
présentant une odeur ou couleur douteuse doit être jeté. L’ingestion d’un
aliment de ce type peut s’avérer dangereuse.”
