SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
EnglishEnglish
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 that 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."

• Avoid the use of three-prong adapters or cutting off the third ground-

baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc.). Any floor unevenness
should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom
corners of the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-
ards 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

TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL
The temperature control dial has settings from
• “0” – “7”
• “0” is Off
• "1" is the warmest
• "7" is the coldest
Initially, set the temperature control dial to "4".
After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust the temperature control
dial to the setting that best suits your needs. Turning the temperature control
dial ‘O’ stops the cooling cycle; however, it will not shut off power to the
refrigerator.
Important: If you unplug or turn off the refrigerator, allow 4 minutes before
restarting it or re-plugging it in.

Defrosting
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the freezer compartment becomes 1/8"
thick. Never us a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may dam-
age the cooling coils. (A punctured cooling coil will cause serious damage
to the product and will void the warranty). We recommend using a plastic
scraper.
To defrost, remove foods and ice cube tray from the refrigerator and freezer
compartment as well as storage / drip tray. Put the drip tray in place and set
the temperature control dial to the "OFF" position. Defrosting usually takes a
few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm
water in the refrigerator. After defrosting, empty water from the drip tray and
wash the drip tray in warm water.

Proper Refrigerator Care & Cleaning
To avoid electric shock always unplug your refrigerator
before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death
or injury.
Before using cleaning products, always read and follow
manufacturer’s instructions and warnings to avoid personal
injury or product damage.
• Prepare a cleaning solution of 3-4 tablespoons of baking
soda mixed with warm water. Use sponge or soft cloth,
dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your
refrigerator.
• Rinse with clean warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine
bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scour
ing pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage
and/or discolor your refrigerator.
• Clean door gaskets every three months according to gen-
eral instructions. Gaskets must be kept clean and pliable
to ensure a proper seal.
• Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of gaskets
will keep the gasket pliable and ensure a good seal.
