SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 foe 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) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always
grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4) 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.
5) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly
recommended that a certified technician performs the service.
6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your
refrigerator.
7) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove
the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8) After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surface in the
freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
9) 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 40F".
“...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color
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 its eating quality as you can.”

refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling
legs are raised.

designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air
circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.

Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 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.
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of 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.
• 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.
