Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please ensure that component parts shall be replaced with like components and that 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.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL RATING: The serial rating plate indicates the
voltage and frequency the unit is designed for.
Due to possible variations in line voltage (caused by overloading of circuits), it is advisable to install a separate fuse circuit from the meter panel. This will help to eliminate current fl uctuation which might cause motor trouble.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either the gasket or lid from
unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it harmless.
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
• Take off doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Risk of fi re or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects to aid in
defrost. Please handle with care. Keep fl ammable materials and vapors such as gasoline away from
the refrigerator. Use nonfl ammable cleaner.
Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualifi ed electrician or
service agent if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension cords or together with another appliance
in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities
may be different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualifi ed person in
order to avoid hazard.
• WARNING Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
• WARNING Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
• WARNING Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• WARNING Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are
of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
• This unit is 52.7 cm (20.75 inches) wide by 84 cm (33.07 inches) high by 54.1 cm (21.3 inches) deep, please make
sure that you leave the minimum amount of space between the unit and all surrounding walls and vents (see location
section). Do not cover any of the ventilation openings with any material as the unit needs adequate space to breathe.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as
soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is suffi ciently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is,
ambient temperatures etc.).
• Before loading the appliance with packages of hot food, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore effi ciency,
replace the gasket.
• Always consider instructions stated in this manual.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere that is not temperature controlled
(including garages, porches, carports, etc.).
DISPOSING OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE
The refrigerator system of the appliance is fi lled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately
treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized servicing centre. If you are unable to
locate one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage any tubes that may be on the rear
wall of the appliance.

Installation Instructions
Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm, wet cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight or moisture. Let air
circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches (12.7 cm) away from the wall.
LOCATION
1. Select a place with a strong, level fl oor.
2. Allow 5 inches (12.7 cm) of space between the back of the refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight could damage the unit. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
4. Avoid moist places. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator, and your
refrigerator will have to be defrosted more frequently.
INSTALLATION
Place the appliance fi rmly on a solid base. Some appliances have adjustable feet on the front side; use them to level the
appliance (some models only).
NOTE: This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY and is NOT intended to be built-in.
This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE ONLY and is NOT intended for outdoor operation.
FEATURES
1. Slide Out Glass Shelves: (Number and type of shelves depends on the model). Shelf can be arranged on any of the
rails inside the appliance. It is protected against being pulled out accidentally. If you want to remove a shelf, slightly
lift up the front part and pull it out. Perishable foods should be stored towards the back/rear of the shelves.
2. Door Liner: The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as
well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing large bottles.
3. Defrost Water Outlet: The interior of the refrigerator is cooled with a cooling plate mounted in the rear wall. Under
the plate there is a channel and an outlet for defrost water. Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the drain
channel for blockage. They should always be kept free and clear of food particles. If the drain outlet does become
clogged, use a plastic straw or pipe-cleaner to clear it.
4. Fruit and Vegetable Crisper: The crisper drawer is on the bottom of the appliance under the glass shelf. It provides
adequate humidity which is benefi cial to fruits and vegetables (less dehydration).

Operating Instructions
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob (on the ceiling of the cabinet) to a desired setting.
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding to
the desired cooling setting.
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of food stored and on the
frequency with which the door is opened.
To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate the control knob to the “OFF” position. If
the refrigerator is not going to be used for long time periods, disconnect the plug and leave
the door partially open. This will help to prevent mold/mildew from accumulating inside the
refrigerator cabinet.
Changes in ambient room temperature will affect internal refrigerator temperatures, adjust
the thermostat knob accordingly. In the OFF position, the appliance does not operate (cooling system is switched off,) yet the power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you
open the refrigerator door.) Temperature in the refrigerator is dependent on how often the
door is opened.

DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice deposits on the inner back wall are defrosted automatically.
Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor operation will defrost automatically (when the compressor has
cycled off). Defrost water collects inside the drain passing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain pan
situated above the compressor from where it evaporates.
FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
Fresh Food Compartment
• Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent air
circulation.
• Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry and fi sh. Meats should be wrapped individually and
placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fi sh and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fi sh should be used the same
day of purchase. Packaged meats such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original packages.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers. Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
