Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and

outside. Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to

secure the compressor from shipping damage due to vibration

and shock.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed

materials before powering on the refrigerator.

Leveling Your Refrigerator

• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your

refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.

• Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them clockwise to raise your

refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower

your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the

leveling legs are extended.

Proper Air Circulation

• To assure your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there

is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

E|ectricaJ Requirement

Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (1 15 volts, 15 amps outlet)

with proper grounding to power the refrigerator. Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in

order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice

since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may

result in shock hazard.

install Lh_nitations

Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in

temperature settings below 55 ° Fahrenheit.

Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even

surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,

baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.

Defrosting Your Refrigerator (seeFig.# 5)

For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" or more on freezer walls. Note that

frost tends to accumulate more during the summer months. To defrost freezer, remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer

section. Make sure the drip tray is under the freezer section and push the defrost button on the thermostat. Defrosting may take a few hours.

To speed up defrost time, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator.

While defrosting, unscrew the defrost plug and place a bowl to collect

the water. The bowl may also need to be emptied during the defrost

process. Do not leave unattended. (see Fig. 5)

After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the

interior of the refrigerator. You may now reset your refrigerator to the desired temperature and return food.
