Before the refrigerator 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 refrigerator, 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 refrigerator, be provided.
•Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•Never clean refrigerator 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
appliance is disconnected.
•Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
•Unplug the refrigerator 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 refrigerator unless it is specifically
recommended in this material. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
•This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase
the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the appliance
that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the
eyes.
•In the event of any damage:
oAvoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
oDisconnect from the electrical power line,
oAir the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and - Contact the
oService Department for advice.
•The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the
event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases
building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is
hazardous for anyone other than an authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to
this appliance.
•Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the
refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
•Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service
personnel so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.

3
•Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.
•To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the appliance must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60° F (16° C) and below
90° F (32° C). This appliance must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as
wind, rain, water spray or drips.
•The refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
•The refrigerator 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 refrigerator.
•The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
•It is important for the refrigerator 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 refrigerator.
•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.
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
•Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
oTake off the doors
oLeave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Refrigerator
•Remove the exterior and interior packing.
•Check to be sure you have an instruction manual included in your refrigerator.
•Before connecting the appliance to the 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.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing the Refrigerator
•This appliance is designed to be free-standing only, and should not be recessed or built in.
•When installing the unit, allow 5 inches of space at the back, sides and top of the appliance,
which will allow the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
•Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, 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.
•Plug the appliance into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or authorized
service center.
•After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the appliance to cool down for 2 to 3 hours
before placing food inside.
Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
CAUTION: This appliance requires the installation of an anti-tip bracket.
To reduce the risk of tipping the appliance, it must be secured by properly installing the anti-tip device
packed with the appliance.
•The bracket is designed to be secured to either the floor or to the wall behind the appliance.
•Place the anti-tip bracket on the floor. The bracket must be installed at the left side, 1 1/2” from
the left side of the appliance. The bracket will slide into a cut out slot in the rear grille.
•Mark the locations of the three holes of the anti-tip bracket on the floor or on the wall behind the
appliance.
•Secure the bracket using three No. 10 (3/16”) screws.
•Slide appliance into position, making sure the anti-tip bracket slides over the compressor plate.
NOTE: If the appliance is relocated, the bracket must be removed and installed in the new location.

Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance and not left exposed or
dangling.
The appliance 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 hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug the appliance 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 appliance, 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.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Temperature Controls
Your appliance has only one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is
located on the upper side of the compartment. The range of the temperature control is from position
"OFF” to “MAX”. The first time you turn the appliance on:
1. Set the temperature control to “MAX”.
2. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs.
The setting of “NORMAL” should be appropriate for most uses. To turn the appliance off, turn the
temperature control to “OFF”.
Defrosting
Your refrigerator defrosts automatically.
NOTE: If the appliance is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes
before restarting the appliance. If you attempt to restart the appliance before this time delay,
the refrigerator may not start.
Adjustable Drawer Divider
Kept vertically, the adjustable drawer separator creates two in-drawer compartments, one taller than
the other. This configuration is ideal for storing taller items. Laid horizontally, the lower section is
closed off from the upper section, allowing for a larger area available for storage on the upper shelf.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning your Refrigerator
1. Turn the refrigerator temperature control to OFF, unplug the appliance, and remove the contents,
including shelves.
2. Wash the inside surfaces with a solution of warm water and baking soda. The solution should
contain about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
3. Wash the drawer compartments with a mild detergent solution.
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 controls, or any
electrical parts.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the appliance 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 doors are 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 food.
Vacations
•Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•Long vacations: If the refrigerator will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug
the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the
door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
Moving your Refrigerator
1. Remove all stored items.
2. Securely tape down all loose items inside your appliance (shelves).
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. Also,
protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar covering.
Energy-Saving Tips
•The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
•Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance
forces the compressor to run longer.
•Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
•The appliance's storage area should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
•Organize and label stored items to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
