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 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)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 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, 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 its eating quality as you can."

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. 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.
Adjusting Your 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 raised.
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.
•The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator: Sides……………3/4 "(19mm)
Top....................1" (25mm) Back..................1" (25mm)

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.
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.
Install 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.

Food Storage Information
Fresh Food
•When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of odors and tastes.
•Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
•Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to maximize shelf life.
•Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in a crisper set for low humidity. If you do not have humidity controlled crispers place the items in sealed plastic bags before storing in the crisper.
•Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers and stored in crisper with low humidity setting.
•Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in plastic bags or containers in crisper with high humidity setting.
•Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration. This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
•Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.
•When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for safe storage:
• Chicken |
1-2 Days |
• Ground Beef |
1-2 Days |
• Cold Cuts |
3-5 Days |
• Steaks/Roasts |
3-5 Days |
• Smoked/Cured Meats |
7-10 Days |

Frozen Food
•Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out. Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of the improperly packaged food.
•Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.
•Packaging Recommendations:
Plastic containers with air tight lids
Heavy duty aluminum foil
Plastic wrap made from saran film
Self-sealing plastic bags
•Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
•It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
•The fan circulating air inside the interior of your unit to maintain the temperature you have selected.
•Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
•The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
