IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
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.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty refrigerator can pose a threat to children.
To render the unit harmless we strongly recommend
removing the door prior to disposal.
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.
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 freezer 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
freezer 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.
The refrigerating system in this refrigerator is a
“Frost Free” system. This type of system requires no
user intervention (i.e. defrosting) other than selecting
required cooling temperatures and the usual care and
maintenance.
To avoid vibration, the cabinet must be set level. This
is accomplished by adjusting the (2) front leveling
legs, located under the refrigerator cabinet. To start
the refrigerator, turn the temperature control (1-max)
to the position corresponding to your desired cooling
temperature.
The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on
the quantity of food stored and the frequency with
which the door is opened.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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) SEPARATE FREEZER SECTION: Holds ice cube
tray and storage for frozen food.
3) ICE CUBE TRAY: Ice cubes are easily removed from
the tray.
4) PLASTIC COATED SHELVES: Odor resistant,
rustproof, and removable for easy cleaning.
5) MAGNETIC GASKET: Tight fitting door seal keeps
all the cooling power locked inside. No hooks or latches.
6) CRISPER WITH TEMPERED-GLASS SHELF:
Easy interior viewing.
7) CANSTOR
TM
DOOR LINER: Holds 355mL cans of
pop, juice, or beer.
8) GALLON DOOR STORAGE: Can be adjusted to hold
smaller items with slide in rail.
9) 2 LITER BOTTLE STORAGE: Holds 2 Liter bottles.
FEATURES
ICE CUBE TRAY
The Ice Cube Tray is flexible. Twist tray to remove the ice cubes. If the
ice cube tray is frozen solid to the evaporator surface, run a little water
over the tray. Never use a knife or other metal instruments to remove the
ice cube tray, as this may damage the evaporator.
LIGHT BULB
REPLACEMENT
To replace the refrigerator light bulb:
1) Remove the screw from the light bulb cover.
2) Pull the light bulb cover downward
3) Unscrew the bulb.
4) Replace with standard 40 watt appliance bulb ONLY.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cooling System
This refrigerator is inclusive of a “Frost Free” type
cooling system, which means you never have to
defrost the freezer compartment. Defrosting is done
automatically by means of a defrost heating element
and a defrost timer factory-programmed to operate
(cycle) approximately every 8 hours. The defrost
water is routed into a defrost pan located directly
above the compressor, where it then evaporates.
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 baking soda to one quart (4 cups) of
water, or a mild soap suds solution or mild detergent.
Wash ice cube tray, drip tray, and glide out shelves in
a mild detergent solution, then wipe dry with a soft
cloth. Clean the outside with a damp soft 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). However, if you find this setting
inadequate 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 food
b) disconnect from electrical outlet
c) clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including defrost
pan.
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 times you open the door while the power is
off. During power failures of longer duration, take
steps to protect your food, for example, 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 food 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 careful cleaning, to
leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside
the cabinate in order to avoid the 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.
