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. 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."

Electrical Requirements
•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.
•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.

Refrigerator Features And Use
To remove or replace a slide-out shelf:
(see fig. # 1)
1. Gently tilt the shelf up and slide forward until the shelf has been
completely removed.
2. To replace the shelf, gently slide the shelf back.
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.
(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.)

•For maximum energy efficiency, defrost freezer section
whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" or more
on freezer walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate
more during the summer months.
• To defrost freezer, remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer
section. Make sure the drip tray is under the freezer section and turn
temperature control dial to OFF position. Defrosting may take a
few hours. To speed up defrost time, keep the door open
and place a bowl of warm water in the refrigerator.
•During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip
tray may also need to be emptied during the defrost process.
Do not leave unattended. (see Fig. 2)
•After defrosting, empty and wipe down the drip tray, as well as the
interior of the refrigerator. You may now reset your refrigerator to the
desired temperature and return food.

Fresh Food
•When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or
store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of
odors and tastes.
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
•Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to
maximize shelf life.
•Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in sealed plastic bags
before storing in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers.
•Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in
plastic bags or containers.
•Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.
•When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original
packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for
safe storage:
• Chicken 1-2 Days
• Ground Beef 1-2 Days
• Cold Cuts 3-5 Days
• Steaks/Roasts 3-5 Days
• Smoked/Cured Meats 7-10 Days
• All others 1-2 Days
