ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT: IMPORTANT GROUND INSTRUCTIONS
I WARNING I
Improper use of grounding can result in electric shock and injury.
• 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 o the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong out­let. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no eective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.
–13–
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
• Use an exclusive 115V wall outlet. Do not connect your refrig­erator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.
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 12 degrees Celsius.
• 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, aer 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.
REFRIGERATOR FEATURES AND USE
GENERAL FEATURES ADJUSTABLE TEMPERATURE
DIAL:
Your unit has only one control for regulating the tempera­ture in the compartment. The temperature control is locat­ed on the upper right hand side of the compartment.
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “7”. The range of the temperature control is from position “0” to “7”. Aer 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the
–14–
setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “5” should be appropriate for home or oice use.
To turn the refrigerator o, turn the temperature control to ”0”. Note:
• Turning the temperature control to “0” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut o the power to the unit.
• If the unit is unplugged or has lost power or is turned o, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you at­tempt to restart before the wait time the unit will not start.
INTERIOR LIGHT
When you open the door the light will turn ON automatically. When you close the door the light will turn OFF automatically.
DEFROSTING YOUR REFRIGERATOR WHEN?
For the most eicient operation and minimum energy consump­tion, defrost the freezer compartment when the frost on the re­frigerator walls is excessive or ¼ inch thick.
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator compartment, be­cause ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automat­ically. Ice may deposit on the inner back wall during the compres­sor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating the ice will defrost and the water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it will evaporate.
HOW?
• Reset the thermostat to the “0” position and disconnect the power supply.
• Remove the frozen food from the refrigerator and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
• Leave the door open for a while so that you can easily scrap o
–15–
the frost.
• Use a plastic scraper but be careful not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.
• Wipe up the scraped o frost and ice before it is completely defrosted.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE BOILING WATER BECAUSE IT MAY DAMAGE THE PLASTIC PARTS. IN ADDITION, NEVER USE A SHARP OR ME­TALLIC INSTRUMENT TO REMOVE FROST AS IT MAY DAMAGE THE COOLING COILS AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. WE RECOMMEND USING A PLASTIC SCRAPER.
FREEZING FRESH FOODS
• Proper use of the refrigerator, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or stor­ing of the frozen foods.
• This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded.
• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in ac­cordance with the frozen foods manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible aer purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully fol­low these instructions regarding storage times.
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze, it should be of ade­quate quality and suitable for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it tight.
• The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods. Foils and bags should be so enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
• When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precau­tions.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods
–16–
and the date of loading.
• It is extremely important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
• If there is too much food inside, freezing will be reduced which aects the quality of frozen foods.
PROPER REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
• Turn the temperature control to “0”, unplug the unit, and re­move the food and baskets.
• Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
• Wash the baskets with a mild detergent solution.
• The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the refrigerator could result in electri­cal shock or personal injury.
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
• Unplug the AC power cord from the wall.
• Squeeze the tabs at the top and bottom of the light bulb cover simultaneously.
• Remove the light bulb cover.
• Unscrew the bulb.
• Replace with a 10 watts bulb that is the same shape and size.
• Replace the light bulb cover.
–17–
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not aect the temperature of your refrigerator-freezer if you mini­mize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be o for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
VACATION TIME
Short Vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the refrigerator will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.
MOVING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transpor­tation.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing refrigerators or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry be­fore placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extend­ed searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
