This refrigerator should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances,

cut

or remove the third ground prong from the power

cord supplied.

This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120 Volt A.C. ~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

This refrigerator is not designed to be used with an inverter.

The cord should be secured behind the refrigerator and not

left

exposed or dangling to

prevent accidental injury.

Never unplug the refrigerator

by

pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and

pull

straight out from the receptacle.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

If

the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the performance of the unit.

Temperature Control

Control

The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator compartment on the top. The refrigerator compartment temperature control ranges from “1”, cold setting, to “7”, coldest setting. The first time the unit is turned on, adjust the temperature control knob to a higher (colder) setting and run for at least 24 hours before readjusting the temeparture and placing food inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is placed into the refrigerator.

If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the thermostat

by

one increment at a time. After each movement of the control knob, allow several hours for the unit to adjust completely. Large amounts of food may lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
