Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY 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.
ELECTRICAL |
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 |
||
REQUIREMENTS |
||
installed and grounded. |
||
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT WARNING |
|
|
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. |
|
|
Remove either the gasket or lid from unused appliances, or take |
|
|
some other action that will guarantee it harmless. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING |
|
|
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric |
|
|
shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the ground- |
|
|
ing 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 exten- |
|
|
sion cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. |
|
|
DANGER: Risk off child entrapment. Before you throw away your old |
|
|
refrigerator or freezer: |
|
|
• Take off the doors. |
|
|
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in. |
|
|
DON’T WAIT DO IT NOW! |
Installation Instructions
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 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.
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 (2) front leveling legs, located under the refrigerator. To begin the cooling process, turn the graduated dial to the desired temperature. The minimum cooling setting is 1, and the maximum setting is Max. We recommend setting the thermostat at 4, our medium setting, and adjust as required.

Freezer Temperature Control
NOTE:
•If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
•Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
•Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for airflow.
•Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between two temperature selections.
•To select different temperature shown on the panel in fresh compartment will affect the temperature in both the fresh and the freezer compartment.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
•Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature in the freezer compartment(See below figure). The temperature control is located on the center of the freezer compartment’s interior back panel.
•The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to “MAX” and let the unit run for at least 2 hours before putting foods inside. That will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
•The range of the FREEZER temperature control is from position "MIN" the warmest to "MAX" the coldest. Adjust this control to get the temperature you want.
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
•This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time period is up to three months.
•The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
•Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
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) approximately every 8 hours. 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.

Care and Maintenance
VACATION TIME
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)leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensation, 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 times you open the door while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food, for example, 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 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 cleaning, 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. The humidity level inside the crisper drawer can be controlled by adjusting the “damper” control (white slider) located on the front of the drawer.
