SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 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 refrigerator compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

9) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is
designed for freestanding installation only.

10) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

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.

• 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 ....................2" (50mm)

Back ..................2" (50mm)

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps out-

let) 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.

Electrical Requirements

• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-

ards 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.

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.
