Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY: When using your refrigerator, follow the precautions listed below.
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.
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.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive 115V 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.
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.

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!
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.
Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY: When using your refrigerator, follow the precautions listed below.
Storing too much food or opening the door too frequently will cause the refrigerator to use more electrical con-•
sumption w hich can lead to a malfunction.
Do not place objects on the work top that are heavy, sharp or corrosive.•
Anytime the power is disconnected from the unit wait 5-10 minutes before plugging back in.•
Do not store bottled drinks in the freezer, in order to keep the bottle from breaking and damaging the refrigerator.•
Open the door as little as possible during power failures.•
When defrosting, never use any sharp or metallic objects to remove the frost on the surface of the evaporator as it•
will damage the evaporator.
Do not touch foods and containers in the freezer compartment with wet hands.•
CAUTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATING APPLIANCES
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as•
soon as possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).•
For household refrigerating appliances the recommended setting for the thermostat is the medium setting.•
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.•
Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so defrost the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-4 mm thick.•
If it is an outer condenser, the rear wall should always be clean, free of dust or any impurities.•
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.

LOCATION
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 2
inches away from the wall.
Do not tilt the refrigerator more than 45° from the upright position during movement.
1) Select a place with a level surface.
2) Allow 2 inches of space all around the refrigerator.
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.
