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 perform 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.”

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Unpacking Your Refrigerator
1. Remove all packaging material. This includes the foam base and all adhesive tape holding the
refrigerator accessories inside and outside. Slide out and remove the plastic or foam guard used to
secure the compressor from shipping damage due to vibration and shock.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packaging, tape or printed materials before powering on the
refrigerator.
3. Check to be sure you have all accessories and parts stated in the Parts and Features section.
Proper Air Circulation
To ensure your freezer 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 freezer:
Sides……………..3/4”
Back………………2”
Top……………….2”
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 prong in order to accommodate
a two-plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer
and may result in shock hazard.
Installation
Your refrigerator is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in.
Place the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
When moving the refrigerator, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could damage the
compressor and the sealed system.
If the refrigerator has been tilted more than 45°, let it stand in an upright position for at least 24
hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the
possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system.
Plug the refrigerator into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an
authorized service center.
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before
placing food into the refrigerator.
Installation Limitations
Do not install your refrigerator in any location that is not properly insulated or heated (e.g. garage,
etc.). Your refrigerator is not designed to operate in temperatures below 55° Fahrenheit. Extreme cold
ambient temperatures may cause the refrigerator to perform improperly.
Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard, even surface away from direct sunlight or
heat sources (e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect
the coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Any floor unevenness should be
corrected.
Avoid locating the refrigerator in moist areas.
Use of an Extension Cord
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.

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 extended.
Door Alignment (See Fig. 1)
1. Remove the top hinge cover.
2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the screws by turning
in a counter-clockwise direction. Remove the screws and the
top hinge bracket.
3. Adjust the door or put a spacer in between and then tighten
the screws.
4. Replace the top hinge cover.
Reversing the Door Hinge (See Fig. 2)
1. Remove the top hinge cover.
2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the screws by turning in
a counter-clockwise direction. Remove the screws.
3. Remove the top hinge bracket and carefully lift off the door.
4. Remove the screws on the bottom hinge bracket with a Phillips-
head screwdriver and remove the bottom hinge bracket.
5. Fix the bottom hinge bracket onto the screw hole of the opposite
side. Do not tighten the screws all the way yet. Make sure that
the door is flush.
6. Replace the screws in the top hinge bracket and screw the top
hinge bracket back into place by turning the screws in a clockwise direction.
7. Open and close the door several times and make sure that the door closes easily but forms a tight
seal. Adjust the hinges as needed.
8. Tighten the screws on both the top and bottom hinge.
9. If the door does not close properly, refer to the section titled “Door Alignment.”
REFRIGERATOR FEATURES AND USE
Operating Your Refrigerator
Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Once the refrigerator is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet having 115 volts and 15
amps.
Adjustable Temperature Control Knob (See Fig. 3)
Your refrigerator has one control dial for regulating the temperature. The temperature
control dial is located on the lower right hand corner. Your refrigerator will
automatically maintain the temperature level you select.
The range of the temperature control knob is from position “1” (the warmest) to “7” (the coldest).
Initially, set the temperature on “4”. This setting is suitable for general operation. Set the thermostat at
“7” only when ice cubes are being made or frozen food are stored in the freezer compartment. Wait
2-3 hours before placing food inside the refrigerator. After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust
the refrigerator to your desired setting.
To turn the refrigerator off, turn the temperature control knob to the OFF position.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3
English
English
Note:
Turning the temperature control to the OFF position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the refrigerator.
If the unit is unplugged, power is turned off, or you experience an electrical outage, wait 3-5 minutes
before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not turn
on.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat setting, adjust the temperature control knob by one numerical
increment at a time. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
Refrigerator Interior Shelves (See Fig. 4)
The refrigerator has shelves that can be adjusted to different levels that will suit
your food storage needs.
To remove or replace a full-width slide-out shelf:
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.
Using the Dispense-A-Can™
Your refrigerator is equipped with the convenient “Dispense-A-Can™” compartment. Simply load the
cans from the top. To dispense a can, simply draw one out from the bottom. It is that easy.
Lock and Key (See Fig. 5)
Your refrigerator has a lock and key feature (located at the bottom center
of the door) for optional security, should you choose. Simply close the
refrigerator door, insert the key and turn in a clockwise direction to lock.
Turn the key in the opposite direction to unlock.
Freezer Compartment & Use of the Ice Cube Tray
Caution! Do not touch foods and containers in the freezer compartment with damp or wet hands.
This compartment is designed for making ice cubes and for short-term food storage (a few days at most).
The freezer is not cold enough to freeze foods safely for extended periods of time.
To make ice cubes, add water to the ice cube tray and place it in the freezer compartment. Set the
temperature control dial to “7.” It takes about 2 to 3 hours to make ice cubes. Ice cubes can be removed
by twisting the tray. Then turn the temperature control dial back to the desired setting.
If the ice cube tray freezes to the floor of the freezer, pour a little warm water around it to loosen it.
Do not use boiling water, which can damage plastic parts, or sharp metal objects such as a knife or
screwdriver, which can damage the cooling system tubing.
Hand wash the ice cube tray in lukewarm water only. Do not wash the ice cube tray in the dishwasher.

Fig. 4
Fig. 5
Defrosting Your Refrigerator (See Fig 6)
For maximum energy efficiency, defrost the freezer section whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of
1/4” or more on freezer walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate during the summer months.
To defrost the freezer, remove food and the ice cube tray from the freezer section to a cooler. Make
sure the drip tray is under the freezer section and turn the temperature control dial to the OFF position.
Defrosting may take a few hours. To speed up the defrost time, keep the door open and place a bowl
of warm water in the refrigerator.
While defrosting, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The drip tray may need to be emptied during
the defrost process. Do not leave unattended.
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. Wait 2-3 hours for the refrigerator to
cool to the desired temperature before replacing the food.

PROPER REFRIGERATOR CARE AND CLEANING
Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning
may result in death or injury.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Warning: To avoid electric shock, always unplug your refrigerator before cleaning. Ignoring this warning
may result in death or injury.
Caution: Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.
General Cleaning:
Turn the temperature control knob to the OFF position. Unplug the refrigerator. Remove the food and
wire shelves.
Prepare a cleaning solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda mixed with a quart of warm water. Use a
sponge or soft cloth, dampened with the cleaning solution, to wipe down your refrigerator.
The outside of the refrigerator should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
Wash the wire shelves with a mild detergent solution and rinse well.
FOOD STORAGE INFORMATION
When storing fresh food that 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, then stored in plastic bags or containers.
Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer. This will prevent unnecessary
energy use.
Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.
When storing meats, 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
The storage life of refrigerated foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be
exceeded. Follow package or container instructions for proper food storage.
Place food into the refrigerator as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the
package, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of the refrigerant circulating
through the cooling coils.
The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.
English

110
English
Do not use harsh or abrasive chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents
or metal scouring pads. Some of the chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor
your refrigerator.
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned periodically to help keep the unit odor free and running
efficiently.
Door Gasket
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean and pliable to keep the unit running efficiently and to
ensure a proper seal.
Clean the door gaskets every three months according to the General Cleaning instructions above.
Petroleum jelly applied lightly on the hinge side of the gaskets will keep the gasket pliable and ensure
a good seal.
Power Interruptions
Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other causes. Remove the
power cord from the AC outlet when a power outage occurs. When power has been restored, re-plug
the power cord back into the AC outlet. If the outage is for a prolonged period, inspect and discard
spoiled food in the refrigerator. Clean the refrigerator before reusing.
Vacation and Moving Care
For long vacations or absences, empty food from the refrigerator and turn the temperature control
knob to the OFF position. Unplug the refrigerator. Clean the interior and exterior, including the door
gaskets, according to the General Cleaning instructions above. Prop the doors open so that air can
circulate inside, and to avoid the possible formation of condensation, mold and odors.
When moving, remove all food from the refrigerator; turn the temperature control knob to the OFF
position. Unplug the refrigerator. Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator and tape
the door shut. Be sure to move the refrigerator in the upright position. Do not move with the unit lying
down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.
Energy Saving Tips
The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator
forces the compressor to run longer and thus increases energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate too
slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
T he wire shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere
with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at
one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Refrigerator Does Not Operate
Check if the thermostat control is not in the OFF position.
Check if the refrigerator is plugged in.
Check if there is power at the AC outlet by checking the circuit breaker.
Wait for 30-40 minutes to see whether the refrigerator will start. The compressor cycle must be
complete to operate.
Temperature appears too warm
The door is kept open too long or is opened too frequently.
Allow time for recently added warm food to reach refrigerator temperature. It is best to allow food to
cool before placing in the refrigerator.
Check the door gaskets for a proper seal.
Check to see if the door is completely closed.
The temperature control is set too warm. Adjust the temperature control knob to a colder setting and
allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
A large amount of warm or hot food might have been stored recently. Wait until the refrigerator has
had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are required for the
refrigerator to cool down completely.
Temperature is too cold
If the temperature control setting is too cold, adjust to a warmer setting and allow several hours for the
temperature to adjust.
Compressor turns on and off frequently
This may be normal to maintain a constant temperature during high room temperature and
humid days.
A large amount of food has been added to the refrigerator.
Doors may have been opened too frequently or for an extended period of time.
Check the door gasket for a proper seal.
Check to see if the door is completely closed.
The condenser coils may need to be cleaned.
The refrigerator does not have the correct clearances on either side for proper air circulation.
The refrigerator has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Four hours are required for the
refrigerator to cool down completely.
Moisture forms on the inside of the refrigerator walls
Weather is hot and humid, which increases the internal rate of frost buildup. This is normal.
The door is slightly open.
Doors may have been opened too frequently or for an extended period of time.
Check the door gasket for a proper seal.
Moisture forms on the outside of the refrigerator
The refrigerator door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the refrigerator to meet warm air
from the outside.
English
11
English
The door will not close properly
The refrigerator is not level.
The door may need to be realigned.
The gasket is dirty. Follow instructions in the “Proper refrigerator Care and Cleaning” section.
Check for blockages from food containers, crisper cover, shelves, bins, etc.
Popping or cracking sound when the compressor comes on
This is normal. Metal components (e.g. hot water pipes) undergo expansion and contraction. The sound
will level off or disappear as the refrigerator continues to run.
Vibrations
Check to ensure that the refrigerator is level.
The floor may be uneven or weak. The refrigerator rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure
the floor can adequately support the refrigerator. Level the refrigerator by putting wood or metal shims
under part of the freezer.
The refrigerator is touching the wall. Re-level the refrigerator and move it from the wall. See the
“Installing Your Refrigerator” section.
Refrigerator has an odor
The interior of the refrigerator needs cleaning.
Foods that were improperly wrapped or sealed are giving off odors.

circule bien et ou le plombage et l’électricité sont bons.
Laissez les distances recommandées suivantes autour du réfrigérateur:
Sur les côtés 19mm (3/4”)
À l’arrière 50mm (2”)
En haut 50mm (2”)
Besoins électriques
Assurez-vous qu’il y ait une prise électrique (115 V/220-230 V, 15 A) correctement mise à la terre
pour brancher l’appareil.
Évitez d’utiliser un adaptateur à trois lames ou de couper la troisième lame pour que cela marche
dans une prise électrique à deux trous. Cela est dangereux car cela ne permet pas une mise à la terre
correcte de l’appareil et peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique.
Installation
Votre réfrigérateur est un modèle pose libre, conçu pour une installation verticale. Il ne doit pas
être encastré.
Assurez-vous que le plancher est suffisamment solide pour supporter le réfrigérateur une fois plein.
Lorsque vous bougez le réfrigérateur ne le penchez pas à un angle de 45 degrés. Cela pourrait
endommager le compresseur et le système scellé.
Si le réfrigérateur a été penché à plus de 45 degrés, laissez-le en position verticale pendant au moins
24 heures avant de le brancher. Cela permettra au réfrigérant de se tasser et de réduire les risques de
mauvais fonctionnement dans le système de refroidissement.
Branchez le réfrigérateur dans une prise murale correctement mise à la terre. Ne coupez ou retirez
en aucun cas la troisième lame du cordon d’alimentation. Si vous avez des questions concernant la
tension et la mise à la terre consultez un électricien agréé ou un centre de maintenance agréé.
Après avoir branché l’appareil dans la prise murale laissez-le se stabiliser pendant 2 ou 3 heures
avant de placer de la nourriture à l’intérieur.
Restrictions d’installation
Ne placez pas votre réfrigérateur dans un lieu qui n’est pas correctement isolé ou chauffé comme un
garage par exemple. Votre appareil n’est pas fait pour être utilisé à des températures inférieures à
13ºC (55ºF). Des températures extrêmement froides peuvent entraîner un mauvais fonctionnement du
réfrigérateur.
Choisissez une surface stable et plane loin de toute source de chaleur ou d’exposition directe à la
lumière du soleil comme radiateurs, chauffages, appareils de cuisson, etc. Si la surface choisie n’est
pas plane, aplanissez-la.
Évitez de placer le réfrigérateur dans un lieu humide.

Utilisation de rallonges
Évitez d’utiliser une rallonge car sous certaines conditions cela peut entraîner des situations
dangereuses. Si vous devez utiliser une rallonge, utilisez uniquement une rallonge à trois lames,
qui a 3 lames au bout et qui a trois trous pour recevoir la fiche de l’appareil. La tension indiquée sur
la rallonge doit être au moins égale à celle indiquée sur le cordon d’alimentation de l’appareil.
RÉGLAGE DE VOTRE RÉFRIGÉRATEUR
Pieds réglables
Votre réfrigérateur possède quatre pieds réglables qui se trouvent dans les coins avant et arrière de
l’appareil. Après avoir installé votre réfrigérateur vous pouvez ajuster les pieds réglables.
Les pieds réglables peuvent être ajustés en les tournant dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre pour
élever le réfrigérateur et dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d’une montre pour le descendre. La porte
du réfrigérateur fermera mieux si les pieds sont allongés.
Alignement de la porte (Voir Fig. 1)
•Démontez le cache-charnière supérieur.
Dévissez les vis de la charnière en tournant dans le sens
contraire des aiguilles d’une montre, à l’aide d’un tournevis
Phillips. Retirez les vis et le support de la charnière supérieure.
Ajustez la porte ou placez l’espaceur entre le dispositif
rabattable et la carrosserie et serrez les vis.
•Replacez le cache-charnière.

4. Retirez doucement les vis de charnière du côté opposé avec un
tournevis Phillips et retirez le support de la charnière inférieure.
5. Fixez le support de la charnière inférieure dans le trou du côté opposé. Ne serrez pas les vis jusqu’au
bout. Assurez-vous que la porte est plane et revissez le support de la charnière supérieure à sa place
en tournant les vis dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre.
6. Replacez les vis dans le support de la charnière supérieure et revissez le support de la charnière
supérieure en place en tournant les vis dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre.
7. Ouvrez et fermez plusieurs fois la porte et assurez-vous qu’elle ferme bien et facilement. Ajustez les
charnières si besoin est.
