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.”

Parts And Features

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all
adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials
before powering on the refrigerator.
• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front
bottom 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 clockwise to raise
your refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower your
refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling
legs are extended.
• To assure 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....................2" (50mm)

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 prong adapters or cutting off the third
grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is
a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the
refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.
• 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.
• 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.

Using the Dispense-A-Can™
Defrosting Your Refrigerator (see Fig. # 6)
• Your refrigerator is equipped with the convenient
“Dispense-A-Can™” compartment. Each compartment will hold up
to four cans. Simply load the cans from the top. To dispense a can,
simply draw one out from the bottom. It is that easy.
• To set the timer to the defrost cycle, follow the instructions on the timer
which is located on the back of the unit. Make sure the drip tray is
under the freezer section. Defrosting may take a few hours.
• The drip tray on your refrigerator is designed to drain away the
defrosted water to the drip pan on the compressor. Here the water
will evaporate.

Fresh Food
• When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap
or store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of
odors and tastes.
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to
maximize shelf life.
• Fruit should be washed and dried, then stored in sealed plastic bags
before storing in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers.
• Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in
plastic bags or containers.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.
• When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original
packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for
safe storage:
• Chicken 1-2 Days
• Ground Beef 1-2 Days
• Cold Cuts 3-5 Days
• Steaks/Roasts 3-5 Days
• Smoked/Cured Meats 7-10 Days

of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
• The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

• Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms
or other causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a
power outage occurs. When power has been restored, replug power
cord to AC outlet. If outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and
discard spoiled or thawed food in freezer and refrigerator. Clean
refrigerator before reusing.
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator and
freezer, move the temperature dial to the OFF position and clean
the refrigerator and door gaskets according to “General Cleaning”

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. 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. »
16

Français
Français
« …La décongélation ou la recongélation, même partielle, fait
diminuer les qualités gustatives des aliments, en particulier des fruits,
légumes et plats préparés. La qualité gustative des viandes rouges est
affectée à un bien moindre degré que celle de nombreux autres aliments.
Utiliser les aliments recongelés dès que possible, afin de conserver la
majeure partie de leurs
qualités gustatives. »
10) Ce réfrigérateur ne doit être ni encastré, ni enclos dans un placard. Il a été
conçu pour être installé tel qu’il se présente.
11) Ne pas faire marcher le congélateur en présence de fumées pouvant
entraîner une explosion.
