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 cabinet in a narrow
recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or
moisture. Let air circulate freely around the cabinet. 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.
4. Avoid very moist places. Too much moisture in the air
will cause frost to form very quickly on the evaporator,
and your refrigerator will have to be defrosted very frequently.
To avoid vibration, the cabinet must be set level. This is
accomplished by adjusting the (1) front leveling leg locat-
turn the temperature control (1~ 6) to the position corresponding to the desired cooling.
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the
quantity of the food stored and on the frequency with
which the door is opened.
1.THERMOSTAT DIAL: For controlling the temperature
inside the refrigerator/freezer. Turns the motor on as
soon as the temperature rises above the desired
level.
2. FREEZING COMPARTMENT WITH FREEZER
DOOR: holds ice cube tray and storage for frozen
food.
3. ICE CUBE TRAY: Ice cubes are easily removed from
the tray. (Not shown)
4. PLASTIC COATED SHELVES: Odor resistant,
rustproof, and removable for easy cleaning. Full width
for storing more.
5. MAGNETIC GASKETS: Tight fitting door seal keeps
all the cooling power locked inside. No hooks or
latches.
6.
BOTTLE RACK: For tall, medium, and large bottles,
canistor jars.
7. CANISTOR DOOR LINER: Holds 355ml cans of pop,
juice, beer, etc.
8. DRIP TRAY: Catches the water that drips off the evaporator when defrosting.
9. EGG TRAY:
ATTENTION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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. Do not splice
the cord.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction
to children. Remove either the gasket, latches, lids or
doors from unused appliances, or take some other
action that will guarantee it harmless.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

Ice Cube Tray
Ice cube tray is flexible. Twist tray to remove ice cubes. If
the ice cube tray is frozen hard to the evaporator surface,
run a little water over the tray. Never use a knife or other
metal instrument to remove ice cube tray because this
may damage the evaporator.
Defrosting
To defrost, turn the control to “OFF”. Defrosting usually
takes a few hours, depending on the room temperature.
To defrost quickly, remove all foods from the refrigerator
and leave doors open. Never use a knife or other metal
instruments to remove ice from and part of your refrigerator, as this may damage the evaporator rendering the
warranty null and void.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the refrigerator or freezer, always disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. To
clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a
tablespoon of baking soda to one quart of water, or a
mild soap suds solution, or some mild detergent. Wash
ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out 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.
Setting the Thermostat
The thermostat setting can be adjusted from #1 (minimum setting) through Maximum (coldest setting) We recommend setting the thermostat at # 4 (medium setting) If
however you find this setting inappropriate for your cooling requirements, adjust as needed by rotating the thermostat dial. The thermostat dial is located on the front top
section of the refrigerator compartment. The thermostat
controls temperature for both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
Vacation Time
For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the
usual setting. During longer absences;
(a) remove all foods,
(b) disconnect from electrical outlet,
(c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including
defrost pan,
(d) leave door open to avoid possible formations of con-
densate, mold or odors.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two
and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.
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.
If You Move
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside
the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs,
turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the
Correct Use of the Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.
• Foods to be stored for a long time should be wrapped
in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in glass containers. Never place spoiled foods in the cabinet.
• Don’t overload the cabinet.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long
periods it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to
leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside
the cabinet in order to avoid possible formations of
condensate, mold or odors.
Food Storage Suggestions
Fresh Food Compartment
• Never cover food compartment shelves with aluminum
foil or any other shelf covering material which may prevent air circulation.
• Always remove porous store wrapping paper from
meats, poultry and fish. Meats should be wrapped
individually and placed in a dish for storage. Wrap fish
and poultry in foil or heavy waxed paper. Most fish
should be used the same day of purchase. Packaged
meats such as ham, bacon, dried beef, or frankfurter,
store best in their original packages.
• Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before
placing them in the refrigerator.
• Always cover open dishes of food, especially leftovers.
Use leftovers within 2 or 3 days.
Vegetable Crisper
The tray at the bottom of the refrigerator is covered to
retain moisture. The crisper compartment will enable you
to store vegetables and fruits which would otherwise dry
out rapidly. The humidity level inside the crisper drawer
can be controlled by adjusting the “damper” control (white
slider) located on the front of the drawer.
