USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potenal safety hazards under certain condions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a CSA
listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rang of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded.
• The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
• Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualied electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
• If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility
and obligaon to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rang that matches the rang plate.

Control Sengs
The temperature control maintains the temperature in the refrigerator. 1 is the warmest
seng; higher numbers are colder sengs with 7 being the coldest seng. The typical
seng is 3.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the desired temperature. If you want a
colder or warmer temperature, move the dial one seng at a me. Moving the control
to O stops cooling but does not turn o the power to the refrigerator. Seng the control
too high may cause freezing in the refrigerator depending on the room temperature.
How To Test Temperatures

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Cleaning the Outside
Keep the outside clean. Wipe with a clean cloth lightly dampened with kitchen appliance
wax or mild liquid dish detergent. Dry and polish with a clean, so cloth. Do not wipe
the refrigerator with a soiled dish cloth or wet towel. These may leave a residue that
can erode the paint. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach or cleaners
containing bleach because these products can scratch and weaken the paint nish.
Protect the paint nish. The nish on the outside of the refrigerator is a high quality,
baked-on paint nish. With proper care, it willstay new-looking and rust-free for years.
Apply a coat of kitchen/ appliance wax when the refrigerator is new, and then at least
twice a year.
Cleaning the Inside
To help prevent odors, leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator. Unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning. If this is not praccal, wring excess moisture out of sponge
or cloth when cleaning around the control. Use warm water and baking soda soluon
–about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to a quart (1 liter) of water. This both cleans
and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry. Other parts of the refrigerator–including door
gaskets, fruit and vegetable drawers, and all plasc parts–can be cleaned the same way.
Do not wash any plasc refrigerator parts in the dishwasher.
24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Care and cleaning of the refrigerator.
Defrosng
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the Freezer compartment becomes 164) “4/
mm) thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage
the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious problems and void the
warranty.) We recommend using a plasc scraper. Do not use any electrical device in
defrosng your refrigerator.
To defrost:
• Remove foods from the Freezer and Fresh Food compartments.
• Set the temperature control dial to 0.
• Place a towel in the Freezer Compartment to soak up water.
Defrosng usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open. Also using a
hair dryer on the low seng may speed defrosng.
Warning: using excessive heat may damage the plasc liner!
Do not pour water into the Freezer or Fresh Food compartments.
Aer defrosng:
• Empty water from the drip tray. Wash the tray with warm water.
• Wipe the Freezer and Fresh Food compartments with a damp cloth.
