This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of eleclrtcal
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

2, Aliow 5 inches of space between Ihe 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
electricily consumption
4. Avoid very moist places. Too much moislure
inthe air will cause frost to form very quickly
on the evaporator, and your refrigerator will
have to be defrosted very frequently,
To avoid vibration, the cabinet must be set level.

Fig.B
Thisrefrigeratoris equipped witha "Push Button"
(semi-automatic)defrost thermostatsystem.To
activatethe defrost cycle,simply push( in ) the
red defrost button located inthecenter of the
controlknob/diaL (do notlure the control
knob/dlal to zero=off ) The defrostcycle is
initiated rmmedlelely.Whendefrostingiscomplete,

conditionsatthesametemperaturesetting.
NOTE:If the "push Button" isactivated (pushed-in)
acctdenlally, it will not be possible to "manually"
pult-out the push button. (deactivate the defrost
cycle) You must either let the defrost cycle run it's
course or,
* Apply (hold) a dishcloth soaked In hot water
against the thermoslat capillary line and bracket,
located on the underside of the freezer
compadment. The heat transfer from the dish cloth
wilt cause a temperafure rise on the thermostat
capillary, (sensing tlne) causing the internal
contacts to close This wi}l resume normal
operating conditions, II may take several minutes
and/or repeat applications before the push button
wtllrelease
Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place
whenever ice build-up inside the freezer
compartment reaches 1/4" (dmm) thick. Defrosting
may take a few hours, depending on the amount
of accumu]atedice and ambient indoor
temperature. To speed-up the defrosting process,
remove all frozen foods from the freezer section°
Leaving the door partlalty ajar for a "shod" period of
time will also speed-up the process.
IMPORTANT.' You must remember to close the
refrigerator door belore the defrost cycle
terminates and normal operating conditions
resume automatically. The drip tray should be in
position directly be_ow the freezer compartment to
catch evaporated water during defrosting.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Never use sharp or pointed
instruments to defrost/remove Ice from the
evaporator/freezer compartment The
evaporator/freezer compartment contains
refrigerated gas lines and if accidentlly
