Risk of child entrapment!

To save energy and maintain optimum performance:

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few
days.”

• Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave
the shelves or drawers in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.

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 the Refrigerator-Freezer

:

:

• 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.

• Models CT661BI and CT663BBI can be installed either free-standing, recessed or

built into an enclosure. When installing as a free-standing unit, allow at least 2”
(51mm) of spa ce at the sides, top and rear of the unit to allow for proper air circulation
to cool the compressor and condenser. Even when built in, the unit requires at least
2” of clearance at the back, 1/8” (3mm) at both sides and 1/16” (1.6mm) at the top.
Take care that t he air vents at the front of the appliance are never covered or blocked
in any way.

• 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.

5

• 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.

• 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 :

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 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
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 t he gasket. It should not be creased and should seal well.

:

Switching the Door Handle

The door has two screw holes on each side, allowing you to move the handle from one
side to the other. To do so, unscrew the handle from its original location and align the
handle with the screw holes on the opposite side. Fix the handle in place with the screws,
then cover the screw heads with the handle seal.

Changing the Direction of Door Opening on the Low Temperature Compartment:

• 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 Refrigerator-Freezer

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
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.
