SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the follow- ing:

1)2)Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.

This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

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.

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.

Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.

If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove

the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

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.

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 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."

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.

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 appli-

ance.

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.
