ÍNDICE
CAUTION:
Read and follow all safety rules and operating instructions
before first use of this product.
PRÉCAUTION:
Veuillez lire attentivement les consignes de sécurité et les
instructions d’utilisation avant l’utilisation initiale de ce produit.
PRECAUCIÓN:
Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm 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 away from the wall.
Location
1) Select a place with a 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 damp 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.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
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.

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Installation 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 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Risk of fire or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects to aid in defrost.
Please handle with care. Keep flammable materials and vapors such as gasoline away from the refrigerator. Use nonflammable cleaner.
Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove the gasket, latches, lids or doors
from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee the appliance harmless.
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
IMPORTANT WARNING!

1) Thermostat Dial: For controlling the temperature inside the refrigerator. Turns the motor on as
soon as the temperature rises above the desired
level.
2) Freezer Compartment with Freezer Door
3) Plastic Coated Shelves: Odor resistant, rust-
proof, and removable for easy cleaning.
4) Drip Tray: Catches the water that drips off the
evaporator when defrosting.
5) Magnetic Gasket: Tight fitting door seal keeps
all the cooling power locked inside. No hooks or
latches.
6) Bottle Rack: For tall, medium, and large bottles, cans or jars.
7) CANSTORTMDoor Liner: Holds 355mL cans of pop, juice, or beer.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the (1) front
leveling leg located under the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by
setting the thermostat knob to a desired setting.
Temperature Selection:
To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding to the
desired cooling (on the graduated blue dial) in Fig. A. The refrigerator temperature will vary
depending on the quantity of the 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 “0”. If the refrigerator is not
being used for long periods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open. This will
help to reduce mold and mildew from accumulating inside the refrigerator. Changes in ambient
room temperature will affect internal refrigerator temperatures (choose correct setting of the
thermostat knob).

Defrosting
This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button”
(semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To
activate the defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red defrost
button located in the center of the control knob/dial (do not
turn the control knob/dial to zero/off). The defrost cycle is
initiated immediately. When defrosting is complete, the
“Push Button” will release (pop-out) automatically and
resume normal operating conditions at the same temperature setting.
NOTE: If the “Push Button” is activated (pushed-in)
accidentally, it will not be possible to “manually”
pull-out the push button (deactivate the defrost cycle). You
must let the defrost cycle run its course.
Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place
whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment
reaches 1/4” (6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few
hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and
ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting
process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section.
Leaving the door partially ajar for a short period of time will
also speed up the process. Important: You must remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle
terminates and normal operating conditions resume
automatically. The drip tray should be in position directly
below the freezer compartment to catch
condensed water during defrosting.
Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to
remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer
compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if
accidentally punched/pierced, will render the
refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers
warranty.
DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO
CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER
COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.
After defrosting is complete, set the control to
maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired
position. When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long
period of time, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply and leave the door partially open. This will help to
reduce mold and mildew build-up.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before
attempting to restart the refrigerator
if operation has been interrupted.
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 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 drip tray
(defrost pan), located on the bottom of the unit.
(d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of con-
densate, 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.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. 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.
• Never place spoiled foods in the unit.
• Don’t overload the unit.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• 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 unit in order to avoid the possibility of condensation, mold or odours.
