INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
LOCATION
When selecting a position for your unit, ensure the
floor is a flat, level surface and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your unit near a heat source, such as
an oven, stove top, boiler, or radiator. Also avoid direct
sunlight as it may increase the electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also prevent
the unit from operating eectively. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation. Do not
place any covering such as a drape or sheet on the unit.
When installing the unit, ensure that a minimum of 2 inches of
free space is le at both sides and in the rear, and 1 inch at the
top of the unit. This will allow cold air to circulate around the
refrigerator and improve the eiciency of the cooling process.
LEVELING THE UNIT
It is very important to keep the unit level, so that the door will
close properly and prevent problems that will cause eective
cooling to fail. To level the unit, turn the two adjustable feet
clockwise or counterclockwise to respectively raise or lower
the corner.
Note: If the unit is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignments will not be covered properly.

warm soapy water and dry completely before putting back
in the unit. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The refrigerator must be
plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt electrical outlet. Performance may be aected if the voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the refrigerator with insuicient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your
warranty The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Do not
use an extension cord or adapter plug. You must make sure all
three prongs are in a 3-pronged outlet (see figure).
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.

• If the unit is unplugged, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit (plugging the unit back in). If you attempt
to restart before 3 to 5 minutes, the refrigerator will not start.
• If the power goes out, the unit should restart itself when the
power comes back on.
• Large amount of food will lower the cooling eiciency of the
appliance.
• Do not place food so that it blocks an air vent, and leave adequate space between food items for air flow in the cabinet.
• Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between two
temperature selections.
FREEZER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
• Your refrigerator has one vent control for regulating the
temperature in the freezer compartment. The temperature
control is located on the center of the freezer compartment’s
interior back panel.
• The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature
control knob to COLDEST and let the unit run for at least 2
hours before putting food inside. This will ensure that the
freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put in.
• The FREEZER temperature control ranges from COLD (the
warmest) to COLDEST (the coldest). Adjust this control to get
the desired temperature. The recommended factory setting is
COLDER (halfway between COLD and COLDEST).
THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of
frozen food. Storage time period is up to three months.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible aer
purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully
follow these instructions regarding storage times.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

OF CONDENSATION, MOLD, OR ODORS
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two, and will
not aect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should
minimize the number times you open the door while the power is o. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to
protect your food.
IF YOU MOVE
Remove, or securely fasten down, all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the
way into the base.
SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF
THE REFRIGERATOR
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator

–8–
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers.
• Never place spoiled food in the refrigerator.
• Don’t overload the refrigerator.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, aer careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to
allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid the possible formations of condensation, mold, or odors.
FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS
Fresh Food Compartment
• Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent air circulation.
• Always remove porous store wrapping paper from meats, poultry, and fish. Meats should be wrapped individually and placed in
a dish for storage. Wrap fish and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish should be used the same day of purchase. Packaged meats such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter, store best in their original packages.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially leovers. Use leovers within 2 or 3 days.
VEGETABLE CRISPER
The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you to store vegetables
and fruits which would otherwise dry out rapidly.
