ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of

electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed

and grounded.

IMPORTANT WARNING

An empty refrigerator can pose a threat to children. To render the unit harmless we strongly recommend removing the door prior to disposal.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your

refrigerator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment! Before you throw

away your old refrigerator or freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

DON'T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Remove exterior and interior packings, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around

the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches away from the wall.

LOCATION

1) Select a place with a strong, level floor.

2) Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the

refrigerator and any adjacent wall.

3) Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight

may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg,

located under the refrigerator.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL OPERATION:

1) Temperature Increase

2) Temperature Decrease

3) LED Display

The LED display will temporarily revert to the (flashing) set temperature for approximately 5

seconds (if you fail to set/change the operating temperature within this 5 second period, the LEDwill automatically revert back and display the internal

temperature.

4) Fahrenheit/Celsius Selector

5) Fahrenheit/Celsius Mode Indicators

The electronic LED display on this refrigerator is programmed to display (independently)the following temperature (only) information:

INTERNAL CABINET TEMPERATURE: This setting is represented by a steady (non-flashing) LEDdisplay and is the normal (LED) default setting during

operation. SET OPERATING TEMPERATURE: This setting is

represented by a flashing LED display and can only

be programmed(SET) by pressing and releasing

either of the J, T temperature keys during operation. Note: The set temperature can only be adjusted/set

while the LED is in "flashing" mode. DEFAULT SETTINGS: When the unit is first connected

to the power supply (and/or in the event of a power failure) temperature settings automatically revert to the following default settings:

The LEDdefault setting for the internal temperature is the ambient (room) temperature measured at the time the unit isconnected or power is restored.

2) Each depression of the A key (during flashing mode) will increase the temperature incrementally

by 1 (temperature ranges between 36°F - 46°F (2°C _ 8°C)

:3)Each depression of the _ key (during flashing

mode) will decrease the temperature incrementally by 1 ; temperature will display for approximately

5 seconds after the selection is made, then revert

back to display the current internal temperature.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION (°F/°C): This unit can display temperatures in the "Fahrenheit" or "Celsius"

scales. Press the temperature selector keypad to alternate between °F/°C scale. The blue indicator

light adjacent to the corresponding mode (the mode indicator light) will illuminate to signify the selection

made.

DEFROSTING: Your refrigerator is designed with an "Auto-Cycle" defrost. What is Auto-Cycle Defrost?

The refrigerated surfaces of the fresh food compartment defrost automatically during the "off" cycle of the thermostat. Defrost water from the fresh

food compartment is disposed of automatically by means of being channeled onto a drip tray located on the compressor. Heat transfer from the compressor causes the defrost water to evaporate.

The LEDdefault setting for the set operating temperature is 41 °F/5°C - we recommend you set the temperature to 37°F/2.8°C to start, then adjust if

needed. Note: After a power failure has occured, the previously set temperature is automatically erased and will have to be re-set).

The LEDdefault setting for temperature selection

(°F/°C) is °F (Farenheit Scale). SETTING OPERATING TEMPERATURE:

To set/change the operating temperature:

1) Press and release either of the A T (temperature) keys.

To turn "off" the refrigerator permanently, you must disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. There is no "off" position (setting) available on the

electronic control panel. NOTE: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting if

operation has been interrupted (i.e. due to power failure).

CLEANING To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a mixture of

one tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water. Other cleaning solutions options are a mild soap suds

solution, or mild detergent. Wash glass shelves in a mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft

cloth. Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth and some mild detergent or appliance cleaner.

However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of packages.
