Installation Instructions
Before Using Your Refrigerator
Remove the exterior and interior packing.
Before connecting the refrigerator to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately
4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from improper
handling during transportation.
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. (Cleaning instructions on
page 7)
Location
Do not recess or build-in. This appliance is designed to be free standing only.
Allow 5 inches clearance space between the back and sides of the refrigerator, which allows
the proper air ventilation.
Avoid Installation:
o On weak surfaces unable to support refrigerator when fully loaded.
o In direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Ambient
temperature below 50°F or above 85°F will hinder the performance of this appliance.
o In moist areas.
o In garage. This unit is not designed for any type of outside installation.
o In moving vehicle. This unit is not designed to be installed in an RV or used with
an inverter. This unit is intended for household use only.
Installing Your Refrigerator
Adjust the leveling feet to keep the refrigerator level.
Plug the refrigerator into dedicated, properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, turn the unit on and allow the unit to cool
down for 2~3 hours before placing food in the refrigerator or freezer compartment.

Electrical Connection
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of
electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced
by an authorized service center.
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.
If any problems with the appliance persist, please contact our Customer Service Department to
consult with a representative at (888) 775-0202 or visit our website to request warranty service

NOTE
Operating Your Refrigerator
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located on the top right hand corner
of the compartment. The temperature control ranges from the
warmest position "1" to the coldest position "6". The first time
you turn on the unit, adjust the temperature control knob to “6”
and run the empty refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. This will
ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is placed
into the refrigerator. Then, adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. Moving the control to the
“OFF” position stops cooling but does not shut off power to the
refrigerator.
If the unit is unplugged or loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting
the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator may not start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
Do not place the foods on the air outlet, and leave spaces for airflow.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust thermostat control by one increment
at a time. Allow several hours for temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
Chiller Compartment
Defrosting Your Refrigerator
Defrost the chiller compartment when the ice / frost is approximately ¼ inches thick. Set the
thermostat dial to the “OFF” position to defrost. Remove all contents from the chiller
compartment. Leave the chiller door open to allow accumulated ice / frost to melt. Remove
large pieces of ice as needed. Do not use hot water or electric heating devices to melt the
accumulated ice. After defrosting, remove accumulated ice / water and wipe the chiller
compartment with a soft cloth. Restart the unit per starting instructions.
Ice Tray
To make ice, pour cool water into ice tray and place it in the freezer
for several hours. To release ice cubes, twist the ice tray and the cubes will
separate from the tray. To shorten the time of making ice, you can set the
temperature control knob at a colder position.
NOTE: Do not store can foods or food stored in glass containers in the
chiller compartment.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Your Refrigerator
Turn the control to the OFF position and unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
Clean interior and parts with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water and baking soda
solution. A solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda to a quart of water will clean and
neutralize odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean to keep the unit running efficiently.
The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with a warm damp cloth and mild
detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard.
Vacation Time
For long vacations, remove all food and turn the control to the OFF position. Then,
disconnect the electrical cord from the wall outlet.
Clean the interior and leave doors open to avoid possible odor or mold formation.
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to
child’s play.
Moving Your Refrigerator
Turn the control to the OFF position and unplug electrical cord from the wall outlet.
Remove all the food and securely tape down all loose items such as shelves,
drawers, and doors.
Be sure the refrigerator stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches

possible service call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem
before calling for service.
Problem Possible Causes
Refrigerator does not operate
Compressor turns on and off
Refrigerator compartments are too
warm
Vibrating or rattling (slight vibration
is normal)
Temperature of external refrigerator
surface is warm
Moisture collects inside the
refrigerator
Moisture forms on outside of
refrigerator
Bubbling or gurgling sounds (like
boiling water)
Popping or cracking sounds when
compressor comes on
The door will not close properly
Refrigerator is unplugged.
The circuit breaker is tripped/ fuse blown.
The room temperature is warmer than normal

The refrigerator does not have the correct
clearances.
The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for
a period of time.
