Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY 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.
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 REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL RATING: The serial rating plate indicates the
voltage and frequency the unit is designed for.
Due to possible variations in line voltage (caused by overloading of circuits), it is advisable to install a separate fuse circuit from the meter panel. This will help to eliminate current fl uctuation which might cause motor trouble.
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.
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
• Take off doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Risk of fi re or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects to aid in
defrost. Please handle with care. Keep fl ammable materials and vapors such as gasoline away from
the refrigerator. Use nonfl ammable cleaner.
Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 qualifi ed electrician or
service agent 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 another appliance
in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as
soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is suffi ciently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is,
ambient temperatures etc.).
• Before loading the appliance with packages of hot food, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so defrost the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 1/4 inch / 3-5
mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore effi ciency,
replace the gasket.
• Always follow instructions stated in this manual.
DISPOSING OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE
The refrigerator system of the appliance is fi lled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately
treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized servicing centre. If you are unable to
locate one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the
appliance.
BEFORE STARTING
• To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg, located under
the refrigerator.
• Before connecting this appliance to electrical power supply, leave it to stand for approximately 24 hours, which will
reduce the possibility of malfunction in the cooling system due to transport handling.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere that is not temperature controlled
(including garages, porches, carports, etc.).
• 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 refrigerator-freezer will not start.

Installation Instructions
Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a lukewarm, wet 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 fl oor.
2. Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the refrigerator and any adjacent wall.
3. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight could damage the unit. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.
4. Avoid moist 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.
To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg, located under the
refrigerator.
INSTALLATION
Place the appliance fi rmly on a solid base. This appliance has adjustable feet on the front side; use them to level the
appliance.
NOTE: This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY, and is NOT intended to be built-in.
This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE ONLY and is NOT intended for outdoor operation.

BULB REPLACEMENT
• Unplug the AC power cord from the wall.
• Remove the screw that holds the light bulb cover.
• Squeeze the tabs at the top and bottom of the light bulb cover simultaneously.
• Remove the light bulb cover.
• Make sure the light bulb is cool before removing.
• Unscrew the bulb
• Replace with a 10 watt bulb that is the same shape and size.
• Replace the light bulb cover.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION
• The fi rst time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “7,” the coolest
setting.
• The range of temperature controls are from position “OFF,” or NO COOLING to “7,”
the coldest. After 24 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best
suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be suffi cient for home or offi ce refriger-
ator use.
Note:
• If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or has been turned off, 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.
• Turning the refrigerator temperature control to the “OFF” position stops the cooling
cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit.

Operating Instructions
DEFROSTING YOUR APPLIANCE
For most effi cient operation and minimum energy consumption, defrost the freezer compartment when the frost on the
appliance walls is excessive or 1/4 inch / 3-5 mm thick (see instructions below). There is no need to defrost the refrigerator compartment, because ice build up on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice may deposit on the inner
back wall during the compressor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating the ice will defrost and the
water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor,
from where it evaporates.
Caution: Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic
instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic
scraper if necessary.
• Reset the thermostat to the “0” or “Off” position and disconnect the power supply.
• Remove the frozen food from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
• Leave the door open for a while so that you can easily remove the frost.
• Use a plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.
• Wipe up the scraped off frost and ice before it is completely defrosted.
FREEZING FRESH FOODS
• Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially infl uence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foods.
• This compartment is designed for the short-term storage of frozen food.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• Pre-packaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
• 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.
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze, it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it tight.
• The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause substantial dehydration of foods.
• Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
• When preparing foods to be frozen, take sanitary precautions.
• Mark packages with the following data: kind and amount of food and the date of loading.
• It is extremely important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
• If the loading amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
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 fi sh. Meats should be wrapped individually and
placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fi sh and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fi sh 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.

Care and Maintenance
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
• Turn the temperature control to the “OFF” position, unplug the unit and remove the food and interior accessories.
• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking
soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the baskets / crisper and interior accessories with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Caution: Failure to unplug the appliance could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
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.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your refrigerator-freezer if
you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need
to take the proper steps to protect your food.
VACATION TIME
Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean
and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs (some models), turn
them all the way in to the base.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF
THE REFRIGERATOR
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Never place spoiled foods 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 a careful cleaning, to leave
the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in
order to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or
odors.
