IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:
1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
3) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
4) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
5) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
6) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
English
7) After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
8) Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: "…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F"
"…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off­color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or question­able, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
"…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating qual­ity of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of they’re eating quality as you can."
9) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.

10) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician perform service.
11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

E n e rgy Saving Ti p s
• Do not place your refrigerator next
to a heating vent, a range, or in direct sunlight.
• Do not open door more often than
necessary.
• Keep the door closed as much as
possible, especially, in hot and humid weather.
• Cover foods to reduce moisture
build up inside the refrigerator.
• Store only foods that require
refrigeration.
• For proper air circulation, do not
overfill your refrigerator shelves.
Refrigerator Installation
The refrigerator is designed for free­standing installation only. It should not be built-in. Allow a minimum of 1 inch on each side and above the top of the refrigerator to ease instal­lation and proper air circulation. Be sure to install your refrigerator on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when fully loaded.
If the refrigerator is not leveled, adjust the front leveling legs by turn­ing clockwise to raise the refrigerator and counterclockwise to lower it.
Do not install your refrigerator where the temperature will fall below 60˚F, as it will not run frequently enough to maintain proper temperature.
Electrical Connections
Important-for personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric 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. Consult a qualified electrician or service center if the grounding instructions are not completely understood. If doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, have a qualified electrician check the circuit to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not, under any circum­stances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Use of Extension Cords
Avoid the use of an extension cords due to potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3–blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Operating Your Refrigerator
English
Temperature Control Dial
The temperature control dial has set­tings from
• "1" to 7 plus "OFF".
• "1" is the warmest
• "7" is the coldest
Initially, set the temperature control dial to "4".
After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust the temperature control dial to the setting that best suits your needs. Turning the temperature con­trol dial ‘OFF’ stops the cooling cycle; however, it will not shut off power to the refrigerator.
Important: If you unplug or turn off the refrigerator, allow 4 minutes before restarting it or re-plugging it in.
FREEZER COMPARTMENT & USE OF THE ICE CUBE TRAYS
This compartment is designed for making ice cubes and for short-term food storage (a few days at most).
This compartment is not cold enough to freeze foods safely for extended periods of time.
• If ice cube tray freezes to the floor, pour a little warm water around it to loosen it. Do not use boiling water, which can damage plastic parts, or sharp metal objects such as a knife or screwdriver, which can damage the cooling system tubing.
Wash tray in lukewarm water only. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
DISPENSE-A-CAN
The refrigerator has a convenient "Dispense-A-Can compartment. Simply stack cans vertically, loading from the top and drawing them from the bottom.

SHELVING

Care And Cleaning
Cleaning the Outside
Clean the outside of the refrigerator with a damp cloth and dry thorough­ly. To clean the door gasket, use only mild soapy water. Never use harsh cleansers or a scouring pad to clean any part of the refrigerator.

7
every three months. Turn the temperature control to the "OFF" position and unplug the refrigerator. Carefully slide the refrigerator away from the wall so as not to damage the floor below. Wipe dust from the back of refrigerator with a clean dry cloth use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to clean the compressor area.

English
Cleaning the inside
Clean the inside of the refrigerator at least twice a year. Turn the tempera­ture control dial to "OFF" unplug the refrigerator and remove food and shelves. Wash inside with warm water and baking soda solution. (2 tablespoons of baking soda to one quart of water), then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaners such as harsh detergents, scouring pow­der or sprays containing bleach, ammonia, or other chemicals that may cause odors inside the refriger­ator or damage to the refrigerator.
Wash the ice cube tray, drawers and shelves in mild detergent solution, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator. Change the box every three months.
Do not wash any plastic part s f rom your refrigerator in the d i s h w a s h e r.
Vacation And Moving
When not in use:
If your refrigerator will not be used for a period of time turn the unit off and unplug it. Clean the refrigerator
(see care and Cleaning instructions).
Moving the refrigerator
When transporting the refrigerator it must be kept in the upright position. If the refrigerator is inadvertently tilt­ed beyond 45 degrees, place it in the upright position and wait 24 hours before plugging in.
Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the freezer compartment becomes 1/8" thick. Never us a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious damage to the product and will void the warranty). We recom­mend using a plastic scraper. To defrost, remove foods and ice cube tray from the freezer compartment. Put the drip tray in place and set the temperature control dial to the ‘OFF" position.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator. After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray and wash the drip tray in warm water.
