1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for it intended purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS – read before using
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including:
– This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.
– Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator.
They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
– Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment , particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
– Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
– Keep fingers our of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors
when children are in the area.
– Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
– Turning the control to the OFF position does not remove power to the light
circuit.
– Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
– Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous, even if they will sit for “just a few
days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.
– Take off the doors.
– Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third, (ground)
prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding)
wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not
to roll over or damage the power cord.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a
CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and
120 volts.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY

LOCATION
Allow the following minimum space to ensure adequate air
circulation, especially if the appliance is going to be next to a
wall: 5 cm on each side, 10 cm at the back, and 5 to 10 cm on
top. Allowing sufficient space will also avoid any noise caused
by the refrigerator coming into contact with a wall.
Do not install the refrigerator near heat sources like stoves,
radiators, or in direct sunlight, as this will cause it to overwork
and be less efficient, thereby increasing its consumption of
electrical energy.
LEVELING
Use the two leveling screws to level the refrigerator. Insert and
adjust them so that they rest firmly on the floor.
The front of the refrigerator should rest a little higher than the
rear (leaned slightly backwards), thereby facilitating the
automatic closing of the doors and preventing temperature
loss.
Some models have covers over the leveling legs, which can be
removed.
FIRST CONNECTION
• Once your refrigerator is in place, wait 4 to 6 hours before
connecting it so that the gas and the compressor oil settle.
• Before connecting the refrigerator, turn the refrigerator
temperature control or adjust the temperature level of the
display to mid-position (between 4 and 6).
• Connect the plug to the wall AC outlet.
• Allow it to operate empty and with the doors closed for 4
hours before loading with food.
• Avoid opening the door so that it can reach the desired
temperature.
• If you want to place your refrigerator in another location,
disconnect it before moving.
• Once it is in its new location, repeat the aforementioned steps.

2. INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
3. FUNCTIONS
How to operate temperature controls
The temperatures in the freezer and fresh food compartments can be individually
regulated by temperature controls in each area.
The freezer control has maximum, medium and minimum levels, which adjust the
flow of cool air. The fresh food section control allows the regulation of the
temperature between levels 1 (less cold) and 9 (coldest).
Temperature control
To obtain the desired temperature in the fresh food and freezer sections, follow
these instructions:
1. Start with the original settings from factory (medium position on both controls).
Leave your refrigerator functioning for 6 hours to get the temperature stabilized.
If you need to change the temperature, readjust controls.
2. The fresh food section control has different levels from 1 (less cold) to 9 (coldest).
If necessary, adjust this control and observe foods over a few hours. You can
continue to make adjustments until reaching the right cooling level.
For some models:
3. The freezer control has maximum, medium and minimum levels. It refers to the
amount of air that will flow to the refrigerator compartment. The lower the airflow
into the freezer, the faster the fresh food section will reach the selected
temperature.
Applies to all models:
Note:
1. Product performance is affected by room temperature and the number of times
you open the door.
2. No food must be placed at the outlets of cool air coming from the fresh food
section. Allowing an adequate airflow to the inside will avoid freezing of certain
products.
3. Your external control is able to detect a failure in the electronic system, which will
be indicated by the letter “F”. When the above happens, please call your
Authorized Service Center.
4. Refrigerator temperature varies depending on the room temperature.
