IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do not use an extension cord.

Replace all panels before operating.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And 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.

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

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

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

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

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 a few days”.

Before discarding your old refrigerator:

Take off the doors.

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

Use two or more people to move and install the appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.

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

A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the appliance.

The size of the fuse (or circuit breaker) should be 15 amperes.

It is important that the appliance be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.

Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These

cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas. Clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

Before Connecting Your Refrigerator

General instructions:

Remove the base, packaging and accessories.

Remove the adhesive tape residue with a cloth soaked in a solution of water and a mild liquid soap.

Choose the location for the refrigerator. The area should be kept clean and dry to avoid rust.

Placement:

Allow the following minimum spacing to ensure adequate air circulation, especially if the appliance is going to be fixed to the wall: 2 to 3 cm (roughly 1") on each side, 10 cm (4") at the back and 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4") on top.

Do not install the refrigerator near heat sources like stoves or radiators, or in direct sunlight, as this will cause it to overwork and be less efficient, thereby increasing its consumption of electrical energy.

Do not lean the refrigerator against a wall. By complying with this, you will help ensure the correct positioning of the product, preventing your appliance from coming directly into contact with walls or furniture and thereby avoiding disagreeable noise and allowing for adequate air circulation.

Leveling:

Use the two leveling screws to level the refrigerator. Insert and adjust them so that they rest firmly on the floor.

The front of the refrigerator should be a little higher than the rear, which should lean slightly backwards. This facilitates the automatic closing of the doors and helps maintain the temperature inside the unit.
