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

:

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."

1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the corrugated base

and all adhesive tape holding the refrigerator accessories inside and

outside.

2. Inspect and remove any remains of packing, tape or printed

materials before powering on the 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 clockwise to raise your

refrigerator or by turning them counterclockwise to lower

your refrigerator. The refrigerator door will close easier when the

leveling legs are raised.

• To assure 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)

Installing Your Refrigerator

Electrical Requirement

•Makesurethereisasuitablepoweroutlet(115volts,15amps

outlet) with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding

pin 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.

• 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.

• 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.

1. As shown in fig.5, dismantle the bottom hinge and bottom hinge

pad and secure them to the left side. It is also necessary to move

the bottom hinge axle from the right side of the hinge to the left

side. NOTE: If the door fit is too tight between the bottom and

center hinges after moving them to the left side, we advise to use

only one plastic pad and remove the extra stud under the bot

tom hinge axle for proper fit and sealing.
