IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

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 freezer/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.

DANGER: Risk of Child Entrapment! Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Take off the doors.

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

DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches away from the wall.

Location

1) Select a place with a 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 damp 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 more frequently.

LOCATION

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.

FEATURES

DOOR REVERSAL INSTRUCTIONS

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 as this may damage the evaporator.

ICE CUBE TRAY

Step 1

If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it by following the steps shown in the below diagrams.

To avoid personal injury to yourself and/or property, we recommend someone assist you during the door reversal process.

CAUTION

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

1) THERMOSTAT DIAL: For controlling the temperature

inside the refrigerator; the compressor activates as soon as the temperature rises above the desired level.

2) FREEZER COMPARTMENT WITH FREEZER DOOR:

Separate freezer section holds ice cube tray and small items.

3) ICE CUBE TRAY: Ice cubes are easily removed

from tray.

4) GLASS SHELVES

5) DRIP TRAY: Catches the water that drips off the

evaporator when defrosting.

6) MAGNETIC GASKET: Tight fitting door seal keeps all

the cooling power locked inside. No hooks or latches.

7) BOTTLE RACK: For tall, medium, and large bottles,

cans or jars.

8) CANSTORTMDoor Liner: Holds 355mL cans of pop,

juice, or beer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To start the refrigerator, turn the temperature control knob to the position corresponding to the desired cooling (on the graduated blue dial) in Fig. A. The refrigerator temperature will vary depending on the quantity of the food stored, and on the frequency with which the door is opened.

To turn the control to the “OFF” position, rotate the control knob to the “0” setting. After defrosting and if the refrigerator has been left out of use for some time, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before turning to the desired position. If the refrigerator is not to be used for long time periods, disconnect the plug and leave the door partially open. This will help reduce the mold/mildew from accumulating inside the refrigerator cabinet.

TEMPERATURE SELECTION

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the (1) front leveling leg located under the refrigerator. The temperature of the refrigerator is controlled by setting the thermostat knob to a desired setting.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

DEFROSTING

This refrigerator is equipped with a “Push Button” (semi-automatic) defrost thermostat system. To activate the defrost cycle, simply push (in) the red defrost button located in the center of the control knob/dial (do not turn the control knob/dial to zero/off). The defrost cycle is initiated immediately. When defrosting is complete, the “Push Button” will release (pop-out) automatically and resume normal operating conditions at the same temperature setting.

NOTE: If the “Push Button” is activated (pushed-in) accidentally, it will not be possible to “manually” pull-out the push button (deactivate the defrost cycle). You must let the defrost cycle run its course. (or) Apply (hold) a dishcloth soaked in hot water against the thermostat capillary line and bracket, located on the underside of the freezer compartment. The heat transfer from the dish cloth will cause a temperature rise on the thermostat capillary (sensing line), causing the internal contacts to close. This will resume normal operating conditions. It may take several minutes and/or repeat applications before the push button will release.

Defrosting of your refrigerator should take place whenever ice build-up inside the freezer compartment reaches 1/4” (6mm) thick. Defrosting may take a few hours, depending on the amount of accumulated ice and ambient indoor temperature. To speed up the defrosting process, remove all frozen foods from the freezer section. Leaving the door partially ajar for a short period of time will also speed up the process.

Important: You must remember to close the refrigerator door before the defrost cycle terminates and normal operating conditions resume automatically. The drip tray should be in position directly below the freezer compartment to catch condensed water during defrosting.

Note: Never use sharp or pointed instruments to remove ice from the freezer compartment. The freezer compartment contains refrigerated gas lines and if accidentally punched/pierced, will render the refrigerator inoperable and void the manufacturers warranty.

DO NOT ALLOW THE REFRIGERATOR TO CONTINUE OPERATION IF THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT IS PIERCED.

After defrosting is complete, set the control to maximum for 2 to 3 hours before returning to the desired position. When the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period of time, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and leave the door partially open. This will help to reduce mold and mildew build-up.

Note: Wait 3 to 5 minutes before attempting to restart the refrigerator if operation has been interrupted.
