GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This appliance has a cord that has a grounding wire with a 3-prong plug. The power cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified 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 connect your appliance to extension cords or together with another appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prongs) adapters.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

•Place the appliance on a fl oor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
•Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near sources of heat, such as a stove or heater, as this can increase electrical consumption.
Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance to perform improperly.

•This appliance is intended for indoor household use only. It is not designed for outside installation, including anywhere that is not temperature controlled (garages, porches, vehicles, etc.).
•Before connecting the appliance to a power source, let it stand upright for approximately 6 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a
malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
•This appliance is 52.6 cm (20.7 inches) wide by 83.1 cm (32.7 inches) high by 57.1 cm (22.5 inches) deep. Make sure that you leave the minimum amount of space between the appliance and all surrounding walls and vents.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The freezer door may be difficult to open immediately after closing it. This is normal and is due to the pressure difference between the cold interior of the freezer and the warm air that has just entered the freezer when the door was opened. The pressure will equalize within a few minutes.
If the door is especially difficult to open, wait 5 minutes to allow the pressure to equalize and then try again.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING |
POWER FAILURE |
Ensure the appliance is unplugged before cleaning.
•To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water or a mild soap solution or some mild detergent.
•Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth and some mild detergent.
•It is important to keep the area where the door seals against the cabinet clean to ensure a tight seal. Clean this area with a soapy cloth. Rinse with a damp cloth and let dry.
Note: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia or alcohol on the appliance. Ammonia or alcohol can damage the appearance of the appliance. Never use any commercial or abrasive cleaners or sharp objects on any part of the appliance.
DEFROSTING
This appliance should be defrosted approximately twice a year or when a 6 mm (1/4 inch) layer of frost has formed on the shelves.
1.Turn the thermostat dial to the “0” position and unplug the power cord.
2.Remove all contents and leave the door open.
3.As the frost melts, water will collect in the drip tray in the bottom of the appliance.
4.Check the appliance frequently while defrosting to ensure that water does not leak and cause damage to fl ooring.
5.The drip tray can be removed and emptied as necessary.
6.When all frost has melted, wipe the interior of the appliance with a towel or sponge to ensure it is completely dry before resuming operation.
7.Plug the appliance in, turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting and replace all contents once the appliance has reached the desired temperature.
Important: Do not use pointed or sharp objects to remove frost as this can damage the refrigerant lines. If these lines are accidentally pierced it will render the freezer inoperable and will void the manufactuer’s warranty.
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your appliance 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, take the proper steps to protect your contents.
Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
VACATION
•Short vacations: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
•Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance. Defrost, clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING
•Remove all items.
•Tape the door shut.
•Be sure the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the appliance with a blanket or similar item.
•If the appliance is placed on its back or side during transportation, upon reaching the destination, allow it to remain in its operating position for 6 hours to avoid damage to internal components.
DISPOSAL
This appliance may not be treated as regular household waste, it should be taken to the appropriate waste collection point for recycling of electrical components. For information on local waste collection points, contact your local waste removal agency or government office. Disposal of
this appliance should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
