Safety Instructions
Defrosting Instructions
ATTENTION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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. 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 qualified electrician or serviceman 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 wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either the gasket, latches, lids or doors from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it harmless.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
This refrigerator is inclusive of a cycle defrost system. The refrigerator has a cold plate located in behind the back wall of the refrigerator cabinet. Ice build-up on the back wall during compressor operation is normal. When the compressor has cycled off, accumulated ice will defrost automatically. Defrost water will collect inside the drain trough pass through the drain outlet located at the bottom of the cabinet and funnel into a drain pan situated above the compressor. The water will then evaporate from this tray from the heat of the compressor.
REMINDER: Keep the drain outlet opening clear of any food particles or other impediments. This will ensure the water can funnel to the drain pan without obstruction. Failure to keep this outlet clean may result in water overflowing the trough, causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the refrigerator, eventually leaking onto your floor. Please wipe this trough and drain outlet with a soft cloth as required.
Installation
Remove exterior and interior packings, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the cabinet in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the cabinet. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches away from the wall.
Location
1. Select a place with a strong, level floor.
2. Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
4. Avoid very 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.
Operation
To avoid vibration, the cabinet must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the (2) front leveling legs located under the refrigerator cabinet. To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control (OFF-MAX) to the position corresponding to the desired cooling.
OFF = No Cooling
1= Minimum Cooling
4 = Medium Cooling
MAX = Maximum Cooling
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of the food stored and on the frequency with which the door is opened.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of one tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water. Other cleaning solutions options are a mild soap suds solution, or mild detergent. Wash glass shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.
Vacation Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at its normal setting. During longer absences; (a) remove all foods, (b) disconnect power cord from electrical outlet (c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost pan,
located above compressor at back of unit.
(d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate,
mold or odors.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of packages.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in
cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers. Never place spoiled foods in the cabinet.
• Don’t overload the cabinet.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
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 fish. Meats should be wrapped individually and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish 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.
Vegetable Crisper
The vegetable crisper is located at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment and is covered to retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you to store fruits and vegetables which would otherwise dry out rapidly. The humidity level inside the crisper can be controlled by adjusting the sliding damper control located at the front of the crisper drawer.
Technical and Structural Operation Features
Hermetically sealed cooling unit with midget 2 pole motor. Rustproof anodized "Roll-Bond" aluminum freezer (or Pipe on Sheet aluminum freezer) of high thermal conductivity. Adjustable thermostat for automatic temperature control. Cabinet bondrized and acrylic-enameled according to the most modern electrostatic spraying techniques. High-density polyurethane theramal insulation. Magnetic door closure gasket.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT: This refrigerator uses a standard 40 watt appliance light bulb which can be purchased at most local hardware and grocery stores. To replace the light bulb, (no tools required) simply unscrew light bulb and install replacement.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the cabinet in order to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.
