Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using
this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the
following:
NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position
for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.
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) 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
recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6) DANGER - Risk of Fire or Exposure. Flammable refrigerant used. Do
not use Mechanical devices to defrost refrigerator. Do not puncture
refrigerant tubing.
7) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove
the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility
of danger to children.
8) 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.
9) Do not refreeze foods that 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.
1
“…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.”
10) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in in an enclosed
cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive
tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before
powering on the refrigerator.
CAUTION
Risk of Fire or Explosion due to puncture refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerant used. Handle with care when moving refrigerator to avoid either damaging
the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
Leveling Your Refrigerator
• Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front bottom
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 counterclockwise to raise
your refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The
refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.
Proper Air Circulation
• To ensure 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.
• The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:
Sides……………4"
Top..................4"
Back.................4"
Door Alignment
1. Remove the top hinge cover by using a flathead
screwdriver. Place the head under the front edge
of the cap and gently lift.
2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a Phillips
head screw driver.
3. Adjust the door or put a spacer in between and
tighten the screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover by aligning the rear of the cover with the rear of
the hinge. Press firmly on the front of the cover until it snaps in place.

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 prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong
in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since
it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock
hazard.
Use of Extension Cords
• 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.
Installation Limitations
• 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.
NOTE: As the door gets pressed in during shipping, after reversing the door, the
gasket may have to be reset. This is done to prevent the cool refrigerated
air from escaping. If there is a gap between the door gasket and the
cabinet, set the gasket by gently pulling it out to seal the gap.

damage the cooling system tubing. Wash the ice cube tray in lukewarm water
only. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
