IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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!

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 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.

SAVE THESE 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.

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!

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 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.

Location

1) Select a place with a strong, level floor.

2) Allow 2 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.

The refrigerating system in this refrigerator is a “Frost Free” system. This type of system requires no user intervention (i.e. defrosting) other than selecting required cooling temperatures and the usual care and maintenance.

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg, located under the refrigerator.

NOTES:

•

This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY, and is NOT intended to be built-in.

• Before connecting this appliance to electrical power supply, leave it to stand for approx. 24 hours, which will reduce the possibility of malfunction in the cooling system due to transport handling.

• This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE

ONLY and is NOT intended for outdoor operation.

IMPORTANT:

AMBIENT TEMPERATURES BELOW 50º F (10º C) WILL AFFECT THE OPERATION OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR. WHEN THE UNIT IS PLACED IN AN AREA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE DROPS LOWER THAN 50º F (10º C), SET THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SELECTORS TO “MAX” IN BOTH THE REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER SECTIONS.

NOTE:

IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, HAS LOST POWER, OR IS TURNED OFF, YOU MUST WAIT 3 TO 5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE UNIT. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART BEFORE THIS TIME DELAY, THE REFRIGERATORFREEZER WILL NOT START.

CONTROL

Your refrigerator has a separate control for regulating the temperature for each section independently. The temperature controls (Fig. A) are located at the rear of refrigerator section.

• The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “MAX” in refrigerator section and “MAX” in freezer section.

• The range of the temperature controls are from position “MIN”

to “MAX” (MIN being the warmest and MIN being the coldest). We recommend starting at the mid-point for both the refrigerator and freezer, and after a period of 24 to 48 hours (to allow for cooling) adjust if necessary.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

This refrigerator is inclusive of a “Frost Free” type cooling system, which means you never have to defrost the freezer compartment. Defrosting is done automatically by means of a defrost heating element and a defrost timer factory-programmed to operate (cycle) after approximately 3 hours of continuous compressor cycling. The defrost water is routed into a defrost pan located directly above the compressor, where it then evaporates.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon baking soda to one quart (4 cups) of water, or a mild soap suds solution or mild detergent. Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in a mild detergent solution, then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a damp soft cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.

Setting the Thermostat

The thermostat setting can be adjusted from WARM (warmest) setting through COLD (coldest) setting in both the refrigerator and freezer. We recommend setting the thermostat at the medium (middle) setting indicated by “•”. However, if you find this setting inadequate for your cooling requirements, adjust as needed by rotating the thermostat knobs. To locate the thermostat control knobs, refer to “Features”.

For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual setting. During longer absences:

a) remove all food.

b) disconnect from electrical outlet.

c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including

defrost pan.

d) leave the door open to avoid possible formations

of condensation, mold, or odors.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a couple of hours, and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number times you open the door 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 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 food in the refrigerator.

• Don’t overload the refrigerator.

• Don’t open the door unless necessary.

• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after careful clean ing, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possible formations of condensation, mold, or odors.

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 tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you to store vegetables and fruits which would otherwise dry out rapidly.
