SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:
1)Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
2)This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
3)Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4)Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.
5)Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs. Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6)Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
7)If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8)After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
9)Do not refreeze foods which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F.“
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.“
“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you can.“

10)This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
11)Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

Installing Your Refrigerator
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1.Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and
all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside an outside. Slide out and remove plastic or foam guard used to secure the compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.
2.Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.
Adjusting Your Refrigerator
Leveling Your Refrigerator:
•Your refrigerator has two leveling legs which are located in the front corners of your refrigerator. After properly placing your refrigerator in its final position, you can level your refrigerator.
•Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise your refrigerator or by turning them clockwise to lower your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are raised.
Proper Air Circulation
•To ensure that your refrigerator works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
•The following are recommended clearances around the refrigerator:
Sides……………3/4" (19mm)
Top.................... |
1" (25mm) |
Back.................. |
1" (25mm) |

English
Electrical Requirement
•Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
•Avoid the use of three-plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may result in shock hazard.
Installation Limitations
•Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or heated, e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
•Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
Use of Extension Cords
•Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

Refrigerator Features And Use
General Features
Adjustable temperature dial:
Your refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control dial has 7 settings plus off. 1 is the warmest. 7 is the coldest. Turning the dial to OFF stops cooling in both the refrigeration and freezer sections. At first, set the dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.
To adjust the temperature range in the cold setting, turn the temperature dial in a clockwise direction. For normal operating conditions, keep the dial halfway between cold and coldest. For
your convenience, the factory presets the control at normal operating conditions.
(Note: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.)
Refrigerator Section Interior Light:
Your refrigerator is equipped with an interior light in the fresh food section for you to easily locate your food.
Your freezer compartment is equipped with adjustable airflow control. For your convenience, airflow is preset by the factory to the colder setting. There is also an option to adjust the settings, either to cold or to coldest.
Your refrigerator may be equipped with slide control to raise or lower the humidity levels or your crispers. This feature will increase the storage life of your fruits and vegetables. Simply adjust the controls to the appropriate setting for setting for items you are storing in the crispers. Low settings allow moist air to exit the crisper, for optimum storage of fruit and/or vegetables that have skins. High settings retains moist air in the crisper, for optimum storage of fresh vegetables.
Refrigerator Interior Shelves
