Installation Instructions
Remove exterior and interior packing, 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 refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3) Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating on the refrigerator exterior. 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.
Important Safety Information

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!
1
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.
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.

OPERATING
FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Your refrigerator has one vent control for regulating the temperature in the
freezer compartment (See Fig.4.). 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 food inside. This
will ensure that the freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
• The FREEZER temperature control ranges from "MIN" (the warmest) to
"MAX" (the coldest). Adjust this control to get the desired temperature. The recommended factory setting is MEDIUM (half way between “MIN” and “MAX”).
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 package, carefully follow these instructions
regarding storage times.instructions regarding storage times.

Operating Instructions
NOTE:
• If the unit is unplugged, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting
the unit (plugging the unit back in). If you attempt to restart before 3 to 5
minutes, the refrigerator will not start.
• If the power goes out, the unit should restart itself when the power
comes back on.
• Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
• Do not place food so that it blocks an air vent, and leave adequate
space between food items for air flow in the cabinet
• Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between two temperature selections.
• Selecting different temperatures on the refrigerator digital temperature
display, will affect the temperature in BOTH the fridge and the freezer
compartments.

Care and Maintenance
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.
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.
7
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 factoryprogrammed 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.
SETTING THE THERMOSTAT
The thermostat setting can be adjusted from minimum setting through maximum (coldest setting). We recommend setting the thermostat at medium setting. However, if you find this setting inadequate for your cooling requirements, adjust
as needed by rotating the thermostat dial. The thermostat dial is located on the front top section of the refrigerator
compartment. The thermostat controls temperature for both the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
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.
