PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR INJURY WHEN US­ING THE REFRIGERATOR, FOLLOW BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUD­ING THE FOLLOWING:

1. Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do NOT remove the grounding plug, do
NOT use an adapter and do NOT use an extension cord.

2. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator be
provided. Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

3. NEVER clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a
fire hazard or explosion.

4. Do NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.

5. Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the
power line of the unit is disconnected.

6. Do NOT connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

7. Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure
to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

8. Do NOT attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.

9. Use 2 or more people to move and install this refrigerator. Failure to do so can
result in back or other injuries.

10. To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above
60° F and below 90° F.

11. This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,
rain, water spray and drips.

12. The refrigerator should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of
high heat.

13. The refrigerator must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance
with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60Hz)
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical code and local
codes and ordinances is required.

14. Do NOT kink or pinch the power supply cord of the refrigerator.

15. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amps.

16. It is important for the refrigerator to be level in order to work properly. You may
need to make several adjustments to level it.

Important Safeguards (cont’d)

17. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked, or damaged during
installation.

18. Check for leaks after connection.

19. NEVER allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator.

20. Do NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These
cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.

21. Do NOT use this appliance for other than its intended purpose.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment

• Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or

abandoned appliances are still dangerous (even if they will “just sit in the garage
for a few days”).

• Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors and

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

• NEVER allow children to operate, play with or climb inside the appliance.

Installation Instructions

Before using your appliance:

• Remove the exterior and interior packaging.

• Make sure you have all of the correct parts.

• Before connecting the appliance to the power source, let it stand upright for

approximately 2 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cool­ing system from handling during transportation.

• Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

• In case the interior accessories are not correctly placed, rearrange them as de-

scribed in “Parts & Features” on the next page.

Installation of your appliance:

• Place your appliance on a oor that is strong enough to support the appliance

when it is fully loaded. To level your appliance, adjust the legs at the front of the
appliance.

• Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the appliance, to ensure

proper air circulation to cool the compressor.

• Install the appliance away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove,
heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the coating and heat sources
may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may
also cause the appliance not to perform properly.

• Avoid installing the appliance in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will

cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of
the appliance.
