IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.“

• 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 2 inches 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
counterclockwise to raise the refrigerator and clockwise to lower it. Do not install
your refrigerator where the temperature will fall below 55°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.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL
The temperature control dial has settings from
• “0” – “7”
• “0” is 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 ‘0’ 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™ storage compartment.
Simply stack cans vertically, loading from the top and drawing them from
the bottom.
SHELVING
The refrigerator has shelves that can be adjusted to different levels that will
suit your food storage needs. The door shelves provide storage for small
and large items.
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. For efficient operation
dirt and dust should be removed from the back 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.

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.
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.
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.
